Recently, I came across the issue of secondary market royalties again. Creators are shouting "No royalties, no motivation," while traders say "I'm providing liquidity, why should I pay an extra layer?" I'm caught in the middle and feel quite awkward. Frankly, no matter how elegant the on-chain rules are, everyone starts looking for loopholes when they get anxious. In the end, it's still emotions and interests pulling in different directions.

I'm now more inclined to see it as a "patch" problem: don't expect to fix the creator economy into a perfect system all at once. Small fixes and tweaks are enough, such as more transparent royalty toggles, clear display and default options, at least to prevent people from being confused about being deducted money or bypassed. Recently, the funding rates have been extremely outrageous. In the group, people are arguing whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble. I just don't want to FOMO anymore... First, have a sip of coconut water, take it slow. Living longer is more important than winning an argument.
