These days, watching on-chain transactions, sandwich attacks + arbitrage seem like "opportunities," but in reality, most of the time you're just helping others pay transaction fees at their expense... To put it plainly, if you're a bit slower, it becomes someone else's profit.
Now there's talk about social mining, fan tokens, and concepts like "attention is mining," but I suspect that in the end, what’s really mined are mainly platforms and bots, while retail investors might be mining emotions.
I'm feeling pretty cautious now. When I get impulsive and want to act, I first take a screenshot and save it, then check again after half an hour, and only if I still want to go for it do I proceed.
Anyway, I don't chase hot topics, only follow the light. When liquidity isn't on your side, doing less is earning.
