Last night I almost accidentally let my hand slip and picked up an NFT off the floor. I was a bit carried away by what I was seeing—“the community narrative is heating up again.” Then I went and casually checked the team wallet and the unlocking schedule… Yeah, it’s still the familiar flavor: big-wallet addresses placing orders in neat rows, with liquidity as thin as paper. Royalties are even more awkward—if the fees are set high, everyone goes over to zero-royalty markets to freeload; if they’re set low, there’s no money to fund the community, and in the end it’s just stubborn talk.

Lately, in the group chat, people have been arguing back and forth about privacy coins/mixing services and the boundaries of compliance until it gets out of hand. I’m actually even more afraid of moments like this—when everyone is fighting about right and wrong, and nobody’s looking at the chain for selling orders. Anyway, I’ll cancel that order first. After that little scare, as long as I’m alive, that’s enough.
