I’ve recently been feeling the itch to try that kind of “risk-free sandwich arbitrage”—basically, you spot a price gap and your brain automatically treats it like breakfast spread, thinking it’s a shame not to take a bite. Later, though, it clicks: the “filling” you see might be bread slices someone else laid out long ago. The moment you place your order, the MEV/orderers are watching—miners/validators get the meat, and you may be the one contributing the fees and slippage, while also just serving as the liquidity/ambiance crew…

My current self-rescue method is pretty timid too: first, ask yourself one question—does this opportunity come from the market, or is someone showing it to me? If I have to fight to snatch the first bite in order to make money, then chances are I’m not the chef; I’m the customer. Anyway, even if I have the urge to act, I’ll start by cutting my position smaller—so I don’t hand over all my breakfast money.
