Had an eye-opening moment recently. A free user bombarded me for days over a tiny floor price difference on an NFT—talking about frustration on both sides. Got me thinking about something fundamental: builders creating in this space really need to nail down who their core users are. The sweet spot? Focus on capital providers and risk takers, not everyone. When you design for that mindset first, everything else—pricing accuracy, user expectations, product resilience—starts clicking into place. The market sorts itself out better that way.

ngl, this guy is quite right. Free users are just here to cause trouble. I should have realized long ago that building a product can't cater to everyone.

This guy is right, free users are the biggest point of supply chain failure. A one-cent price difference can last for several days? If there's no trading discipline, then don't enter this battlefield.

Free users are really a trap, but luckily this guy summarized it.

Honestly, these free-riding users are really annoying... Clearly not investing themselves, yet still meddling. I think the builders should have started selectively screening users long ago.

This guy's point is somewhat interesting, but from a governance perspective, the logic has some issues—narrowing the scope of "core users" so much that it becomes a secondary market screening theory? Historically, projects that focus on "elite user preference" have either led to community splits or liquidity crashes. Incentives are incompatible.

NFT floor price difference of just a dime can cause a fuss for several days... I'm really convinced. Instead of pleasing everyone, it's better to focus on serving the wealthy.
