I just watched the mempool for a bit and saw a transaction get sandwiched completely, with gas spiking to over 200 gwei. Honestly, my first reaction wasn’t “opportunity’s here,” it was “whose gas just got siphoned.” Arbitrage looks like profit from price differences, but in reality it’s rummaging through other people’s wallets for fees. The tiny amount of NFT royalties just doesn’t hold up against bots—once liquidity gets squeezed, what the creator ends up with might be less than the gas. Anyway, I’m not really brave enough to get into this kind of game; I’d rather move slower and wait for gas to come down. Screw it—I’ll keep working on my little tool instead, so I can set alerts to watch for this stuff.
