Lately I've really been bothered by the "attention economy," whenever a hot topic changes, I get itchy to follow, but it usually results in me taking the last hit... Anyway, my current approach is very simple: first ask myself what I truly understand about this wave, and how I plan to proceed. If I don't understand, I just pass by. The disputes over NFT royalties are quite like looking in a mirror—creators want income, traders dislike it affecting liquidity, and as the arguments go on, emotions push people onto the bandwagon.
What I fear most isn't slow progress, but chaos—being slow can still be planned, but chaos easily turns into buying whatever you see and ending up getting cut up back and forth. For now, I’ll do this: look a little less at trending lists, and my hands won’t be so itchy.
