Numbers don't quite add up when you factor in the gas fee multiplier. There's roughly $1300 sitting in transaction costs alone—something that doesn't get talked about enough when people tout their trading returns. You gotta account for this stuff if you want the real picture of your P&L.

$1300 Is gas really that insignificant? I’ve rarely seen any KOL include this expense when doing the math. Truly

1300 in Gas fees? Oh my, that's a real profit killer. --- That's why I always say don't listen to hype; you need to look at actual returns. --- When you add it all up, there's basically no profit to be made. It's not even worth playing. --- Gas fees are indeed a trap; some people deliberately hide this. --- I'm telling you, on-chain arbitrage sounds great, but in reality, it's a huge loss. --- Such high costs? Then the previous gains are just wasted effort. --- Everyone who understands knows this; big influencers never mention it. --- They take out $1300 directly—how can they compare? --- So anyone still hyping DeFi riches, I just block them immediately. --- Real earners have already factored in these hidden costs.

Come on, paying over $1300 in gas fees directly eats up most of the profit. Those guys who boast will never account for this expense.

1300 dollars in gas fees? Now that's the real story. No wonder those people make so much but it's all in vain. --- When promoting the project, how could they forget to mention the gas? That's hilarious. --- This is the true picture of Web3: transaction fees eat up half of the profit. --- So don't be fooled by the surface returns. You need to deduct the gas fees to get the real numbers. --- Wait, 1300? Oh my god, how big is this transaction? --- It's a common saying, and every time someone falls into this trap, it's a pity. --- Got it, so we need to do the overall accounting and not just look at gross profit. --- The invisible killer of gas fees really can't be ignored; careful planning is essential.
