The third time being "cut in line" on the blockchain really messed with my mindset... I clearly clicked on the swap, but the transaction price suddenly slipped, and looking back, it seems like someone smelled the opportunity early and squeezed me in the middle to roast. To put it simply, the biggest impact was on small orders like mine that are itchy to trade; the more I chase, the more anxious I get, and the easier I am to be eaten up by slippage and fees.

Recently, AI agents and automated trading have been pretty popular, everyone’s talking about "letting robots make you money," but what I’m more worried about is: who are the robots cutting in line for, and who’s responsible for safety? Anyway, I’m just playing it honest now, keeping the slippage tight, not going all-in on positions, and stopping myself when emotions run high... Otherwise, I’m the one who gets melted away.
