Recently, I've been watching the debate over whether to pay royalties in the NFT secondary market again, and it feels a bit like when someone snatched my materials while I was making collage art and complained about my watermarks being annoying... To put it simply, royalties are not charity nor moral coercion; they are just the breath of whether creators can keep updating. But on second thought, forcing a lock-in is also quite awkward; if liquidity dries up and the floor price drops, in the end, no one can play. The airdrop season has been pretty surreal lately; task platforms are cracking down more and more on anti-witch activities, and the points system has turned the grifters into clocking-in at work, which looks exhausting to watch. Anyway, I now treat my positions as a palette, willing to chase fewer trades, leaving some patience for projects that can truly turn "creation" into long-term cash flow, rather than ending up with only traders sharing memes.
