Recently, I've been looking at those "sandwich" + arbitrage orders on the blockchain again. To be honest, you think you've found a bargain, but often you're just helping others cover transaction fees and slippage... Of course, there are opportunities, but more often it feels like watching the excitement from the roadside, reaching out and finding your wallet a bit lighter. Especially before and after major upgrades/maintenance of mainstream public chains, everyone is guessing whether they'll migrate. I, on the other hand, am more cautious: when the chain shakes, the bots wake up first, and ordinary people who are a bit slow end up just fueling the activity. Anyway, I now prefer to do fewer trades, carefully check authorizations, limit orders, and routing—slowing down is okay; safety first, then profit. It’s like fishing or queuing for tickets—standing anywhere feels uncomfortable. That’s all for now.
