Recently, the secondary market has been buzzing about royalties, and honestly, I used to misunderstand: I thought that buying an NFT and reselling it meant the royalties should be "automatically deducted, as a matter of course." Now I see more clearly—it's normal for the market not to want to pay an extra cent, but without royalties for creators, it’s more like a one-time sale, and everything afterward depends on emotional attachment to survive, which is quite awkward.

What’s even more ridiculous is that everyone is shouting support for creators while desperately looking for the "best path with zero royalties." For someone like me, who values investment on paper but is prone to chasing gains and cutting losses in practice, it’s easiest to be carried away by emotions... Anyway, every time there's a dispute, I think back to how I FOMOed into the market back then.

By the way, I want to vent about the recent AI Agent and automated trading setups—people hype them up so much, but just a couple of interactions on the chain make me feel like I’m fighting with a robot; who’s really scrutinizing security, who’s just making empty promises, it’s obvious to the naked eye. Royalties are the same—no matter how beautifully the rules are written, if execution and incentives are off, human nature will always win. That’s all for now, don’t follow my lead and get carried away.
