Lately, looking at those on-chain orders where "slippage instantly causes someone to front-run or back-run you," it's really hard to describe... You think you've found a arbitrage opportunity, but most of the time you're just a side dish for others' sandwiches, paying tuition with fees plus spread. To put it simply, yes, opportunities exist, but most are taken by faster people or those running bot scripts. For someone like me who trades manually, jumping in just doubles the anxiety.

Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock again, phishing links are everywhere, and the more volatile the market, the easier it is to get anxious. The more anxious you get, the more likely you are to make mistakes... Anyway, I’ll first set up a whitelist for my frequently used addresses, and conveniently revoke permissions from a bunch of old dApps. No more messing around tonight.
