Today, I got stuck in traffic so badly I started to question my life—and my coffee went cold too... Then I checked the chain and saw it was even worse: you think you’re fast enough to grab the “opportunity,” but more often than not you end up being sandwiched in the middle, while also accidentally “sending” a little fee to someone else. Straight up, when it comes to arbitrage, it’s not so much about whether “I” profit—it’s whether “I” end up helping someone else settle their gains. Lately everyone’s been complaining that validators/miners are getting too much to eat, and that MEV and transaction ordering are unfair—I really relate to that too. For regular folks, clicking a swap feels like paying tolls. Now when I place orders, I shrink my position, set limit prices whenever I can, and keep slippage low—I'd rather be slower than end up as someone else’s lunch meat... For now, that’s how it is.
