Recently, there has been more discussion about secondary royalties, essentially about whether "creators should receive a cut every time their work changes hands." My engineer brain's first reaction: it's quite difficult to enforce this strictly at the protocol level, after all, compatibility issues are a minefield, and there will always be workarounds; but relying entirely on platform self-regulation is also prone to becoming just a slogan.

What bothers me even more is that on-chain large transfers or movements of exchange hot and cold wallets are interpreted as "smart money positioning," and then royalties are casually used as narrative fuel... Anyway, I don't really buy into these mystical theories.

There are many tutorials, but I prefer those that clearly explain the execution path: at which layer royalties are enforced, what are the costs to bypass them, and how much impact they have on liquidity. Emotions are emotions, but how rules are implemented is what truly matters.
