Today I saw someone show off "on-chain instant arbitrage" again. My first reaction wasn't envy, but a pat on my wallet: Am I just paying fees + sandwich fillings for others again... Honestly, you think you're eating meat, but you're actually helping the chef test the knife. Recently, the narrative around AI Agents and automated trading has been quite popular, with many in the group shouting "Let the robots make money for me," but half of them are carefully checking safety details, as if they’re looking for fleas on a cat. Anyway, before I place an order now, I check the slippage and avoid chasing hot pools; I’d rather be slow than become someone’s K-line decoration.
