These days, I see on-chain people shouting "Sandwich + arbitrage is an opportunity," but I’ve become a bit more calm... You think you're picking up coins on the ground, but in reality, you might just be fueling others' fees + slippage. To put it plainly, others are faster than you, have earlier information, lower costs, and the moment you rush in, the outcome is basically decided.

Especially now, between Layer 2s, they’re daily comparing TPS, fees, and subsidies; it’s lively, but as traffic floods in, MEV also becomes denser, feeling like “the road is wider, but there are more cars.” My own discipline is: if I see obvious suspicious transactions and strange price differences, I’d rather miss out than bet that I’m not the last one to act. Less frequent trades, as long as I can survive longer, that’s fine—I don’t believe in geniuses anyway.
