In 2023, will NFT still reward creators?
此篇為文化商業｜二級市場凝滯、分潤機制失效：NFT 是否會辜負「創作有價」的遠程期待？的英文版，感謝 AI 機器人 DeepL 與我一起潤稿。
As an NFT issuer focused on creator success and monetisation, I am always most concerned about the interests of creators - that is, whether the NFT project truly serves the vision of rewarding creators' work. However, after reading the 2023 annual reports of both The Business of Fashion & Coinbase, several facts have raised my concerns:
(1) The first challenge is the prevalence of wash trading, an act of price manipulation aimed at attracting new investors by creating a false sense of high demand.
Based on transaction data sourced from Dune Analytics, more than 50% of total NFT trading volume in Ethereum in 2022 and was potential wash trading (Coinbase, 2022). The prevalence of this dubious practice not only exacerbates the liquidity problem that NFTs already face, but also leads to a loss of confidence in the market. If there is no way to resell an NFT, how can an NFT serve the interests of investors through profit (short-term gain) and the interests of creators through royalties (long-term value)?
(2) The second challenge is that most NFT projects are positioned as a one-off campaign, rather than being seen as an overhaul or breakthrough of an existing business model.
Even though there are big names such as Prada Group and adidas that started to develop a new concept of Customer Relationship Management by engaging with the NFT community and inviting them to co-create products, the implementation of NFT in mature industries like luxury and fashion is still quite nascent. (The Business of Fashion, 2022)
(3) The third challenge is the most fundamental: there is no guarantee of the enforceability of negotiated royalties.
What makes NFT different from other traditional transactional models of art and goods is the idea of sharing royalties in any secondary sale. This design protects the interests of creators & enhances the value of creativity. However, it was only after my experience of issuing NFTs that I realised that the royalty distribution is actually embedded at the marketplace level, like OpenSea, rather than at the token level. This creates a conflict of interest between investors and creators. Marketplaces like Slurs & Sudowap offer a way out for investors by allowing 0% royalties. For investors, it's lucrative. For creators, it's probably not ideal because they're back to square one.
Does all this mean that there is no value in exploring the possibility of NFT, and no solution to securing the idea of always rewarding creators? I don't mean that. What I want to point out is: As an NFT issuer, it's important to set up a differentiation business strategy. After all, there will always be communities who truly believe in the idea of rewarding creativity and are willing to pay for value. The problem is always whether you can find them or not.

商業知識應用的範圍極廣，文化價值交換也是其中之一。然而市面上較少針對廣義文化企業的系統性地整理，也較少評論者以管理角度提出讓這些企業能夠有機發展、自給自足的思考方針。我將自己定錨為人文與商業相輔的實踐家，希望藉由所學提出應用策略框架，使更多亞洲文化商業體能用嶄新的角度，帶來下一波的文藝復興。

嘿，大家新年快樂~ 新年大家都在做什麼呢？
跨年夜的我趕工製作某個外包設計案，在工作告一段落時趕上倒數。
然後和兩個小孩過了一個忙亂的元旦。在深夜時刻，看到朋友傳來的解籤網站，興致勃勃熬夜體驗了一下，覺得非常好玩，或許有人玩過了，但還是想寫上來分享紀錄一下~
NFT本身類型類屬於功能型之虛擬通貨，與一般支付型代幣不同，NFT代幣彼此間不具有同質性，亦即各代幣的類型與價值不可互相替代，不像虛擬貨幣可以大量流通交換。課稅處理上，目前已發布NFT課稅方式之國家，大都主張NFT的所得課稅處理原則上與加密貨幣相同，本篇為LY在相關交易係如何課稅之簡單整理。
當我們為了賺錢而從事對別人而言有意義的工作時，這項活動涉及到了三個人：當前的自己、未來的自己與賦予這份工作意義的人。對當前的自己而言，由於不是為了落實自身理念，我們獲得的內在價值會大打折扣；對未來的自己而言，雖然可以獲得外在價值，但由於工作不是他做的，這個價值只以一種類似「遺產」的方式被他獲得。
