I just spotted a trading pair on Uniswap and almost had the urge to jump in and arbitrage. Then I thought: in plain terms, these “sandwich” opportunities are basically just paying fees to MEV bots. If we small players rush in, chances are we’ll end up as the real “degens”—the ones getting cut and harvested. Recently, people in the group have been talking about ETF fund flows and risk appetite in US stocks, saying crypto’s ups and downs are now pretty tightly linked to the Nasdaq. Honestly, I’d rather not obsess over those complicated arbitrage plays—I'd rather stick to something steady, “plant the veggies,” and dig out some reliable DeFi yield. Step into enough traps, and you’ll finally understand what “someone else’s fees” really means.
