Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of sandwich attacks/arbitrage on the chain again. Honestly, what I see now is not so much an “opportunity,” but more like the probability that others are treating me as a fee withdrawal machine is increasing… Especially when you get anxious and place a market order in a hurry, once slippage kicks in, it’s basically handing a knife to MEV bots. To put it plainly, if ordinary people really want to play, they first need to think clearly: am I betting that I’m faster than the other side, or am I betting that the other side isn’t watching me today.

Recently, some places are tightening or loosening taxes and compliance rules intermittently, making everyone’s deposit and withdrawal expectations very emotional. The more panicked, the easier it is to chase after trades, and the chain becomes more “delicious.” My own approach is quite simple: I prefer fewer trades, splitting transactions, more limit orders/protection, accepting the chance of missing out, rather than letting others’ sorting rules determine the outcome. For now, I’ll stick with that—anyway, I still read patches and security notices first. I don’t believe in this stuff.
