Recently, the secondary market has been arguing over royalties again.
I'm actually quite conflicted: from the creator's perspective, of course, I want ongoing revenue sharing, but traders think the more costs pile up, the fewer people will trade...
To put it simply, many people say they support creators, but in practice, they still click the "0% royalty" button—that's pretty realistic.
I personally prefer to treat royalties as a kind of "predictable protocol rule," not something that is collected today but not tomorrow, making it feel like an emotional tax;
If support is truly needed, perhaps it should be done through more subscription-like methods such as initial pricing, membership benefits, or long-term dividends.
Recently, RWA and U.S. Treasury yields have been compared to on-chain yield products, and I find it easier to understand the market:
Everyone is doing the math, and once risk and cash flow are laid out, sentiment takes a back seat.
For someone like me who prefers stability, my allocation is similar to making backups:
I don't rely solely on a single royalty model, leaving multiple options open—at least if rules change someday, I won't be completely caught off guard.
That's all for now.
