Scrolling through Layer 2 posts, they're all comparing who's cheaper and faster—kind of tiring. Seriously, no matter how impressive the TPS numbers look, when you actually open a chain, it's just sandwich bots slashing at each other, while real users still pay hefty fees.

When I think about MEV, I often reflect: the same arbitrage opportunity looks like a "chance" to some, but to others, it's just "someone else's fees." It's quite subtle—like an aurora: beautiful when you're standing beneath it, but if you chase after it, there's probably nothing there.

I'll watch the hype, and I'll wait out the lulls. For now, the on-chain data is too inflated anyway—let's just leave it at that.
