Today I saw someone in the group bragging, "I caught an arbitrage," again.

My first reaction wasn't envy, but rather thinking: Is this trade really about capturing the price difference, or is it about providing liquidity for others?
Sandwich trading, to put it simply, is like you lining up to buy bubble tea, and the person in front cuts in line and happens to sell your drink at a higher price...
You think you're quick, but you're actually just paying part of someone else's transaction fee.

Recently, a certain region has been discussing tax increases and tightening regulations, with expectations for deposits and withdrawals changing.
On-chain liquidity becomes even more sensitive, and slippage and front-running become more "justifiable."
My partner also said I keep talking conspiracy theories.
I said it's not a conspiracy, it's human nature: when you see an "opportunity," you first ask who is in front of you and who is behind you.
Anyway, I now prefer to earn less rather than become someone else's liquidity charity.
