Just woke up, checked the blockchain again, and saw someone complaining about being sandwich attacked. Honestly, you think it's an "opportunity," but it might just be someone else's fee source for their algorithm... Arbitrage sounds exciting, but when it comes to ordinary people, slippage, priority fees, routing, and a bunch of hidden pitfalls make it feel more like you're just adding bricks to the liquidity.

Recently, narratives around AI agents and automated trading have been quite popular. Everyone is touting "letting machines help you make money," but I'm more concerned about how they sign transactions, how much authority they have, and who takes the blame if something goes wrong. Anyway, I prefer to take it slow now, earn a little less if needed, rather than accidentally turning my wallet into an open ATM.
