A floor price isn't a financial safety net—it's a cultural declaration of what a creator believes their work deserves to exist at. When an artist sets their NFT floor at 2.5 ETH instead of 0.8 ETH, they're not predicting markets; they're drawing a line that says 'this labor, this vision, this moment has dignity at this threshold.' The market will test it, ignore it, or validate it, but the floor itself is pure artistic statement.
