A couple of days ago, I saw someone talking about NFT "floor prices are coming back." My first reaction wasn't excitement, but a reminder of the pitfalls I've fallen into before: the floor looks pretty stable, but in reality, liquidity is as thin as paper, and a single order withdrawal can wipe it out. The royalty aspect is even more awkward; when the community is hot, everyone talks about supporting creators, but when things cool down, they start looking for secondary royalty markets. Honestly, as the narrative cools down, the rules become very practical.
Once I saw a new series I couldn't understand, and the group was shouting loudly, even bundling various "re-staking + shared security + compounded yields" gameplay, which sounded like nested dolls... I was itching to act, but I stuck to my old habit: if I don't understand it, I don't move first. As a result, the next day, liquidity dried up and the floor price suddenly dropped sharply. Looking back, doing less and staying active isn't just some motivational talk; it's a way to avoid fines.
