Last night I paid my tuition again... I originally wanted to buy some positions when the price was low, but I impulsively entered at market price, and once the slippage started, the depth was thin, and the transaction price was completely different from my "expectation." To put it simply, I was in a hurry, saw the candlestick jump, and wanted to grab it, forgetting to place small orders first to test the water and slowly buy in multiple trades. Looking back, next time I’d rather wait two more minutes, check how much volume is in the pool, and not be greedy for the lowest slippage limit—it's better to set it higher than let it run wild.

Recently, that mainstream public chain is about to upgrade/maintain, and everyone in the group is guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate. I’m actually more nervous: such node liquidity withdrawal can easily cause the depth to become empty. Forget it, I’ll lower my expectations: I don’t expect to "get the best deal" every time, just to execute trades as planned and avoid getting wiped out by slippage—that’s enough to keep things easy. The real fear isn’t missing an airdrop, but getting wiped out before the snapshot.
