I just stuck that sticky note that says “Check the depth first, then click confirm” back on the edge of the screen… Last night I got greedy and chased a trade; I opened the slippage thinking it was big enough, but the pool depth was only that much. Once the first two or three trades got squeezed in front of me, I got pushed right to the edge—I failed directly and wasted gas for nothing. My mindset totally exploded. When I look back, it really came down to timing: I kept thinking “get it done in one go,” rushing before the order could build into a stable stack, and I even didn’t try a small order first to scout the path. Now I’m even more laid-back about all the hype around social mining and fan tokens; it’s fine to mine attention, but the real on-chain cost—real money—is more real… Anyway, I’m going to bold that sticky note first, so I don’t keep paying tuition.
