Recently, I’ve seen a lot of “convenient arbitrage” on the chain. To put it simply, many times you think you’ve found an opportunity, but in reality, you’re paying transaction fees for others (especially the faster ones), while also serving as liquidity material. Sandwich attacks are more straightforward: the moment you click confirm, the price has already been manipulated; you’re not trading tokens, but emotions.



These days, there’s also a lot of chatter about staking unlocks and unlock calendars, with anxiety about sell pressure flying everywhere. I actually think that anxiety itself is quite valuable — some use it to make volatility, others to earn fees. Anyway, I’m now more concerned about slippage and transaction paths; I’d rather earn a little less than be inexplicably squeezed out.

I don’t need to be understood, I just want to set this boundary: don’t chase hype, don’t follow the “guaranteed win” stories. If you can understand, then do it; if not, forget it. Pull up my hoodie and keep observing.
