Lately, I've been paying more attention to the mood of interest rates when watching the market... Honestly, when money is expensive, everyone keeps their hands tight. I, with a small position, don't dare to chase too many hot spots. At most, I throw a little "cat food" to test the protocol—if it rises, I run; if it doesn't, I act like it never happened. When risk appetite contracts, even the lively on-chain activity suddenly becomes silent, and with thin liquidity, emotions are easily pierced by one or two needles.

Then today, I saw another argument about NFT royalties—creators need to eat, secondary markets need liquidity, everyone thinks they’re right... But in a phase where "money is getting more expensive," even transaction fees are considered costly. How can you ask them to pay more royalties? I support creators in words, but I still hold back in practice—it's quite contradictory. Anyway, I’ll just endure for now, and when the market dares to be greedy, I’ll come out and pretend to be brave.
