Today I saw another swap on-chain that was clearly sandwiched before and after—it’s called a “sandwich opportunity,” but most of the time what you’re really seeing is just someone else’s fees and your own slippage… I’m tempted to chase it impulsively, but I won’t click confirm first. I’ll pull up the funding rate and OI to take a look, then check whether the mempool is crowded, and silently repeat three times in my head: “I’m not here to work for the robots.” Airdrop season is the same. As the task platforms tighten their anti-bot measures more and more, the points feel like they’re getting more and more fiercely competitive—like clocking in at work under pressure. The more anxious you get, the easier it is to make hasty mistakes: granting authorization and trading carelessly. Anyway, I set an alarm for myself: when the market heats up, reduce some positions first, then calm down for ten minutes before acting.
