Recently, I've seen discussions about how secondary markets are pushing royalty rates lower and lower. Basically, everyone just wants to save money, but creators lose that "ongoing income," making projects more likely to turn into one-time sales... I'm quite conflicted myself: I support creators, but I also don't want to be forced to give up too much. Anyway, what I care more about now is whether the work/community has other cash flows or rights designs in the future—don't put all your eggs in the royalty button.
By the way, the testnet incentives and points system now also seem a bit like "drawing a pie first and then seeing if the mainnet issues tokens." If expectations are too high, it can easily turn into an emotional market. My approach is still the usual: diversify positions, treat it as a talisman, keep low correlation where possible; for NFT/creators, only a small position for observation, don’t affect the main strategy.
There are many tutorials, but I usually only look at those that clearly explain "who is paying whom, where the money comes from, and who ultimately takes the loss," and avoid overly esoteric ones. That’s it for now.
