These past few days, there's been a lot of talk about royalties in the secondary market. I'm actually quite conflicted: on one hand, I believe creators should earn a living, but on the other hand, I'm afraid I might become a passive "tax base." I hesitate every time I click confirm... Honestly, everyone is seeking certainty, but on the blockchain, there's no such gentle certainty. It's more like the frustration with funding rates: you think there's long-term consensus, but the next moment it turns into short-term arbitrage.
Recently, new L1/L2 projects are offering incentives to attract TVL, and veteran users complain "mining and selling," which sounds very familiar to me—royalties can easily follow the same script: nominal support, but in reality, as soon as liquidity comes in, the floor gets stomped through. Anyway, I now only dare to buy NFTs as "tips + emotional consumption," no longer hoping they can sustainably support creators, nor do I want to shift all the responsibility onto trading platforms... That's it for now, I'll review again tonight.
