Today I was staring at the chain for half a day again, looking at sandwiches, and the more I looked, the more it felt like I was wandering through a vegetable market: you think you’re getting a bargain, but actually others have already squeezed you in the middle to collect tolls. Arbitrage is similar, the real “opportunities” are often only open to those who can run faster; I, being slow, can at most serve as a background board... I also have to refresh and queue for transactions, my mindset directly disconnects.

By the way, the NFT royalty disputes follow the same logic: creators want to earn more, secondary markets want smoother transactions, and in the end, it’s usually ordinary people who pay the bill. When liquidity tightens and TVL drops, I start to get nervous. Anyway, before I place an order now, I always think to myself: am I earning a little, or am I just helping others collect fees? That’s it for now.
