Imagine a flock of pigeons in a city square, trained to flock to anyone who scatters breadcrumbs on the ground. Day by day, people come and go, throwing bits of food, and the pigeons quickly learn that this is an easy way to get a meal. They start to rely on this immediate gratification, gathering around those who feed them, neglecting their natural instincts to search and scavenge for diverse and more reliable food sources. As seasons change and winter arrives, the square becomes empty. The temporary visitors are gone, and so are the breadcrumbs. The pigeons, having spent their time waiting for easy meals, find themselves unprepared for the scarcity of food. Their reliance on the fleeting generosity of strangers has left them vulnerable in the face of harsher times. This scenario mirrors the plight of many NFT projects that focus heavily on royalties as their primary source of income. Founders often spend significant time and resources manipulating or maintaining high royalty rates for immediate financial gain, rather than investing in sustainable, long-term strategies for the project's success. Consequently, when the bear market hits, these projects find themselves ill-prepared for the "winter" of the market cycle. Their short-term focus on royalties has not built a strong foundation, and without the necessary preparation and diverse revenue streams, they struggle to survive the downturn. The lesson here is clear: just like pigeons relying on breadcrumbs, projects that depend solely on royalties for survival may thrive temporarily but face significant challenges in less favorable conditions. Sustainable success in web3 requires a broader vision, one that builds resilience and value beyond the immediate gratification of royalties, ensuring projects can weather any season. I stand with creators, but I stand with builders.
