Recently, a bunch of people have been shouting, “On-chain opportunities are here.” But honestly, when you click to place a trade, most of the time you’re just helping someone else cover their transaction fees. Sandwich attacks + arbitrage aren’t magic—whoever sees it first in the mempool gets to eat first. You think you’re bottom-fishing, but you’re really just handing over the slippage. Don’t tell me, “I set a low slippage, so I’m safe.” If it never even fills, that still counts as protection… I don’t believe in that nonsense anymore that “being quick lets you win.” If you really want to play, first learn how to read block timestamps, and check the same-block sandwich/hold-related records—otherwise, you’re just working for MEV. Oh, and even though hardware wallets are out of stock, there are still plenty of people clicking airdrop links everywhere. During this phishing spike, you still dare to open your wallet permissions at random? In any case, I’d rather do two fewer trades now than become someone else’s fuel.
