Last night, I saw a string of complaints on the blockchain records saying, "Clearly I clicked first, why did the transaction price change"… Basically, about sandwich attacks and arbitrage—you think you're getting a bargain, but often you're just paying the fee for the faster traders. It looks like grabbing the last skewer at a night market or buying scalped tickets at a theater—lively, but the person actually enjoying it might not be you.

Now I place orders more cautiously: I prefer smaller slippage, split my orders slowly, and just give up on pools with low liquidity. Recently, the community has been arguing whether privacy coins and coin mixing are truly "original sins." I find it quite divided—I want to protect privacy, but I also worry about stepping over regulatory red lines. The more rigid the on-chain world structure becomes, the softer the stories are, but wallets are hard, and if you lose money, it’s not romantic. That’s all for now.
