These past few days, I've been monitoring on-chain transactions, and the more I look, the more I feel that "sandwich/arbitrage" is a game where you think you're getting a bargain, but in reality, you're often just paying others' transaction fees... To put it simply, the opportunities you see, others have already lined up for. Especially those sudden large orders that cause maximum slippage—there's no need to think twice; someone will come to front-run you in the next second.

When the cross-chain bridge was hacked, I was even more cautious. When the funds flow gets chaotic, I don't dare to chase; I’d rather miss out. And that tacit understanding of waiting for confirmation after seeing abnormal quotes from oracles—it's very real: everyone is afraid of being the first to rush in and become the next victim. Now I just honestly watch active addresses and net inflows; if something feels off, I don’t click confirm... Forget it, social anxiety for self-preservation.
