Lately, the market has that "high price but low volume" feeling again, with order books ridiculously thin. People trying to buy the dip get squeezed in, slippage teaches you a lesson first, then another wave of traps comes in to harvest profit. Honestly, it's not that you're wrong in your judgment, it's that you simply didn't live to see the moment when your assessment would pay off. When liquidity dries up, I just admit defeat: keep positions small, take it slow in batches, better to miss out than to rush in all at once and fuel the rout.

Someone also asked about stacking yields through re-staking or sharing security. Recently, I’ve become even more suspicious: stacking layers upon layers, when something really goes wrong, it’s hard to say who will run first or take the hit last. On-chain, all those "yields" look more like bundled risks. Anyway, I’m prioritizing withdrawing what I can, replacing the vulnerable routes, and doing that first. Now, I’m going to reproduce the transaction route for today’s abnormal slippage.
