These days, I see people in the group sharing screenshots of "a certain stablecoin losing its peg" or "reserve audits being opaque." When everyone gets anxious, they start rapidly clicking on on-chain links, and the more frantic they are, the easier it is to become someone else's transaction fee. To put it plainly, sandwiches and arbitrage love moments like these: you think you're catching an opportunity, but you're actually feeding the faster traders.

Now I prefer to slow down a bit, take a half-beat to observe the pool depth, slippage, gas, and transaction paths, and only act when there's real certainty. If I don't understand something, I won't touch it for now—better to miss out than to fill others' profits when emotions are running high. Slowing down is tough, but at least it reduces the chance of becoming fuel for someone else's "opportunity."
