Today I saw someone talking about "sandwich + arbitrage" again, making it sound like easy money... My first reaction when I see those orders with huge slippage and rushing to chase the hype isn't opportunity, but "Am I just paying tuition for others?" I just took a quick look on-chain, and a certain router had two small same-direction trades sandwiching a swap, with gas deliberately raised a bit. The scene is so vivid: you think you're rushing, the new narrative is rushing, but in reality you're just draining someone else's fee pool.

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have been quite popular, and I won't stop those hyping the narrative—they all love hearing stories anyway; but when it comes to actual on-chain interactions, who can really tighten security and survive longer? Anyway, now I tighten my slippage before placing orders, even if it means being a bit slower... Impulsive as I am, I don't want to be the lettuce in a sandwich.
