Lately, dealing with NFT liquidity has been pretty exhausting: when the floor price dips, the order wall looks like it’s made of paper, and trying to unload some positions gets you woke up by slippage. Royalties are even more awkward—honestly, during bullish times everyone shouts "Support creators," but when things cool down, it’s "I’ll just run first, you do whatever," and as the narrative heat fades, all that’s left on-chain are a bunch of orders staring at each other.

I was actually pretty slow to react to the recent wave of cross-chain bridge thefts; I only glanced at it after seeing the flood of messages in the group. Anyway, now I always assume a few extra confirmations when doing any cross-chain transfers, and forget about those abnormal quote prices from oracles—better to miss out than to be the bagholder at the wrong price. The same goes for NFTs: community storytelling is fine to listen to, but if I’m really going to buy in, I only look at two things: whether the trading depth is enough and whether there’s an exit route, otherwise it’s just spending money on emotions. That’s all for now.
