Lately, watching on-chain sandwich attacks and all kinds of arbitrage, the more I look, the more it feels like chasing shooting stars in the night: you think you’re making a wish, but your “ticket” gets taken first by someone else. Put simply, that one click of “confirm” might already have you paying fees on behalf of faster robots—you miss the chance, but the psychological swings are pretty real.

These days, the group has been sharing talk again about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and all sorts of “de-pegging” rumors. Once emotions run hot, everyone wants to rush in—set the slippage wide and get filled quickly… and then it’s easier to get trapped. Forget it—speaking plainly, don’t treat the mechanism of others taking a bite out of your order as a window where you can pick up money every day. My approach is just more stubborn: I’d rather go slow, and make fewer moves. If I really need to switch, I’ll try to break it into smaller orders, and avoid squeezing into the busiest time. In the long run, it’s still more like watching a star chart than anything else.
