Recently, someone’s been saying, “Just throw it into the pool and treat it like saving,” and when I heard that… uh? The AMM curve, plain and simple, is this: the more you want to buy and sell at a specific price, the less the system lets you do it smoothly—the price slides away fast. Impermanent loss isn’t some voodoo or black magic, either; it’s just that when the coin price goes off track, your position gets automatically adjusted to look like “chasing the rise and selling the fall.” And if the fees aren’t enough, it gets pretty awkward. Not to mention now MEV and ordering are being complained about again—miners/validators are eating pretty well, while retail gets squeezed; one squeeze and their mindset instantly collapses into pixelated chaos. Anyway, I treat complexity like the enemy: if you don’t understand it, put less in—don’t assume you’re just going to lie back and earn.
