Lately I've been watching swaps on the chain again, and I keep seeing the words "sandwich" and "arbitrage" and getting itchy. But honestly, the opportunities I see might just be others finding a more elegant way to collect fees... You think you've caught a slippage, but you're actually fueling someone faster. Especially with those multi-layered nested profit sources that look like tentacles dancing wildly; when you break it down, the core is just two words: priority.
The play-to-earn games are quite similar too. When inflation kicks in, studios enter the scene, coin prices spiral, and in the end, everyone is fighting for the same liquidity. Those who are slower become "contributors." There are many tutorials, but I actually prefer those that discuss failure cases or review trading paths—it's more straightforward than "teaching you to make guaranteed profit"... Anyway, I now lower my expectations before placing an order; if I can avoid chasing, I avoid chasing. That's how I start.
