Recently, I've been watching those sandwiches and arbitrage opportunities on the chain, calling them "opportunities." Honestly, most of the time you're just someone else's source of transaction fees... Especially when new coins heat up and Meme attention shifts, a celebrity casually mentions something, and the pool opens like a floodgate. Veteran players advise newcomers not to take the last step; it's not about pretending to understand, but having seen too many slippage and front-running wipe people out.
Having been running nodes for a long time, my first reaction isn't "can I make money," but how much this wave of transactions makes the chain congested, whether block production remains stable, and not causing everyone to get stuck together again. If I really want to participate, I can, but at least don't rush in with market orders, go slower, set limit orders, and be less greedy... I don't need to be understood, but I also don't want to see others blindly pay fees and think they're "catching opportunities." That's all for now.
