Recently, there's been a debate about whether secondary royalties should be collected or not. To be honest, I'm a bit torn: not collecting them is like opening a small shop for creators, where everyone comes in to try on clothes, take photos, and then turn around to order from the next store; relying solely on "voluntary tips" is too mystical. Collecting them, on the other hand, can easily stifle liquidity, making the depth thin, and the profile picture immediately turns from shiny and bright to dull and gray... As someone who changes seasons frequently, I fear this kind of thing the most.

Some people also link ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto market rises and falls, which makes my head spin: emotions can indeed be contagious, but ultimately on-chain, it still depends on who’s really spending money to make deals. Anyway, right now I care more about whether the community is willing to keep the market thick in the long term when choosing NFTs. The royalty issue shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all approach. Can it be like shopping mall membership points, making buying and selling more comfortable, and creators not starving? Let’s leave it at that for now.
