I almost scared myself awake just now: when copying the address, my hand trembled, and I pasted the testnet address from the previous transaction, only to realize the last digits were wrong before confirming... That moment really made me understand what "survive first, then talk about bottom fishing" means. Especially when liquidity dries up, slippage suddenly feels like it has sharp teeth. Watching the order book looks pretty, but once it actually executes, it changes tone. You want to run but can't move fast enough.
Recently, with airdrop season + anti-witch tasks on the platform, points are being earned like clocking in at work. I get itchy to join in too, but honestly, at times like this, the most important thing is managing positions and exit strategies: I’d rather earn a little less now, keep my single trade size small, and slowly split orders. Before opening a position, I first simulate whether I can accept the worst-case slippage; if not, I just give up. When the market might give opportunities is uncertain, but a simple mistake like entering the wrong address can mean immediate elimination. That’s all for now.
