Got “caught” again on the chain while trying to pick up cheap deals… I thought I’d found an arbitrage window. But right after I clicked confirm, it hit me: those two addresses before and after were just like they’d been rehearsed, trapping me in the middle and roasting me. Plain and simple—I see an opportunity, but they see my transaction fees + slippage.

Honestly, everyone still loves to compare things like RWA and, whatever, US Treasury yield to chain-based yield products. I’m tempted too, but that little bit of “yield” on-chain isn’t always interest—it’s sometimes the fuel for your liquidity and execution costs. Anyway, for someone like me with this kind of “reverse” signal, I’ll hold back the itchy hands for now. I’ll just take a few more looks at the MEMPOOL and the trade path… That’s it for tonight—I’m not going all-in.
