The market has been drained in the past couple of days, and that feeling of "stuck with a few big orders pushing the price off course" in the mempool has reappeared.

One path is twisted, slippage is amplified, and as you keep trying to bottom fish, it turns into paying others for the privilege of getting caught.
To put it simply, when liquidity dries up, the priority is to survive first and then look for bargains: keep your position small, prefer fewer trades, and don't chase aggressively.

Some people are discussing re-staking, sharing security, and stacking yields.
After arguing back and forth, I think the core point is: when the water level outside is low, you still want to rely on "nested" yield stacking, but in the end, the risk will explode at the moment of matching and exit...
What I care more about now is whether I can exit smoothly, how much it costs to get out, and whether I make a profit or not can be discussed later.
That's all for now.
