Recently, I’ve been browsing the blockchain and noticed that many people are eyeing "arbitrage opportunities." Honestly, sometimes what you see is just someone else's transaction fee... Especially when someone jumps in with a large order and the slippage is pretty outrageous, my first reaction isn't whether they made a profit or not, but rather: is this just delivering a sandwich? Anyway, I’m now more cautious when placing orders, preferring to eat less meat rather than become a side dish.
There's also another annoying point: RWA, US bond yields, and these are compared with on-chain yield products. It sounds great, but on-chain there’s an extra layer of "are you going to get squeezed" random tax. My lunch strategy remains the same: keep the main course steady, and only tinker with points/re-staking as side dishes. Don’t get excited and turn yourself into liquidity. Stay steady.
