My attitude towards NFTs has recently undergone a "version update": I used to watch the floor price fluctuate up and down, feeling like I was watching an electrocardiogram; now I care more about where the liquidity actually is, whether the floor is lively or just a pile of listed orders. Royalties are also quite awkward—frankly, it's fine for creators to want ongoing income, but when the market cools down, everyone starts to complain that it's "troublesome," and in the end, it all depends on whether the community narrative can keep the fire going; otherwise, it's just a bunch of images comforting each other...
Airdrop season has become more obvious lately, with a points system + task platform anti-witching, and the "grab-and-go" folks are competing as if clocking in at work. Once attention is diverted, the "heat" in the NFT community is even more sustained by emotion. For now, I’ll focus less on chasing new releases and more on large on-chain transfers and Gas fees—lively as it is, don’t burn yourself in the process. That’s all for now.
