Recently I talked with a friend about arbitrage, especially “sandwich” trades—played a few times, and yeah, it’s pretty fast. But I always feel that every “opportunity” I see might be someone else picking up the tab for me; basically, it’s just fees. Anyway, I’m pretty timid—I’d rather make a little less than be the filling that gets trapped. 😂

Back when funding rates got extreme, the community was arguing really loudly—some people called it a reversal, others thought it was just bubble-busting. I used to only look at on-chain data. I felt like emotions were imaginary, but later I realized that just staring at TVL and the number of addresses isn’t enough either—the drop happens anyway if it has to. Now I’ve adjusted a bit: I’ll sometimes glance at sentiment indicators. I still don’t fully trust them, but at least I’m not so obsessive. Take it slow—because even if you’re in a hurry, you can’t rush it.
