Recently looking at on-chain transactions, the words "sandwich" and "arbitrage" tend to make people excited as soon as they come up, as if every slippage hides a "chance." But honestly, most of the time what you're seeing is just someone else's fee model in action: you're eager to execute, they’re eager to sandwich you, and the blockchain is very honest.

My own habit to stay calm is: before placing an order, first check the transaction path and estimated slippage, casually review a few recent trades in the same pool, and confirm "this isn't just someone feeding." Plus, with staking unlocks and token unlock calendars being discussed daily lately, everyone's anxiety about sell pressure makes them more likely to chase the price... The more these situations happen, the more it seems like giving MEV a warm welcome. Anyway, I’d rather miss out than become someone else's fuel.
