Recently, I've been watching those flashing transactions on the blockchain, which seem like "I can also casually pick up some arbitrage," but most of the time what you're seeing are opportunities, and what others see are your slippage and fees... When a sandwich attack comes over, you're still wondering if the trade went through, while they've already burned you as fuel.

I'm not regretting the outcome, but rather the fact that I knew during that congested period, with gas fees dripping down like an hourglass, I still stubbornly chased that seemingly attractive price difference. Now I mostly accumulate interactions during off-peak times, prefer limit orders over market orders, and split transactions instead of doing them all at once.

As for that recent social mining and fan token scheme, honestly, "attention is mining" sounds exciting, but attention also has a cost... The more diligently you watch, the easier you get itchy to place orders, and then you just become someone else's fee source. Anyway, I first want to understand the block production rhythm clearly, so I don't become someone else's bot ATM.
