The dust in my wallet is mostly not due to market losses, but "infinite approval" type hidden fees... At the time, I found it troublesome and clicked approve max, then that project went cold / the front end changed / the contract had issues, and one wave of this just emptied your balance like a buffet. Revoking permissions is really like sleeping: not doing it won't kill you immediately, but sooner or later you'll have to pay the debt.

Recently, everyone has been complaining that miners/validators are making too much profit from MEV, and that the ordering is unfair. I also feel pretty powerless listening to it; honestly, we can't control who goes first or last, but at least we can control "who can move the tokens in my wallet." Now I’ve gotten used to: revoke after use, set limits where possible, don’t mind a few extra clicks, so I don’t wake up one day to find only failed transaction screenshots left with me.
