Recently, I added a few more lines to the table: NFT floor price, order book depth, transactions in the past 7 days, royalty enforcement... As I looked at it, I started to feel a bit discouraged. To put it plainly, when liquidity is poor, the floor price is just an emotional number; if you really want to sell a piece, slippage can crush your mindset. Royalties are also quite awkward—everyone talks about "supporting creators" in a bull market, but when things cool down, people start to bypass transactions, and once the narrative cools off, even the community's talking points are dropped.
Recently, there's been talk about some region tightening taxes and compliance measures, sometimes tightening, sometimes loosening. I found that it has a pretty direct impact on deposit and withdrawal expectations: money becomes "something to think about both ways," and for NFTs, which rely more on stories and emotions, this makes it even harder to sustain enthusiasm.
My current small goal is to treat trading as "practice" rather than "winning": practice not to be led by a few K-lines at the floor, practice acknowledging that I can be led astray by memes when looking at data... Anyway, I plan to lower my position size and expectations a bit first—being able to sleep peacefully is better than anything else.
