Lately, I've been watching on-chain transactions, and someone keeps mistaking sandwiches for "opportunities."


But I smell a fee smell first: at the moment you click confirm, someone might already be taking a sip before and after you.
Arbitrage is the same; it looks like you're capturing the price difference, but honestly, many times you're just fighting faster bots for the soup, and if you can't get it, you're paying tuition for others.
Now Layer 2s are competing again on TPS, fees, and subsidies, and it's quite lively, but when it comes to trading... whether it's fast or cheap, and whether it's convenient, whether you'll get sandwiched or not, it's not really on the same line.
Anyway, I now prefer to press swap a little less, lower the slippage, and take it easy.
What I'm most afraid of missing isn't really an opportunity, but slipping up and sending myself into someone else's fees.
