Me: *hits the buy button confidently*



Crypto market 5 minutes later: *proceeds to do the exact opposite*

It's that timeless crypto moment—the one where your timing feels almost deliberately theatrical. You make your move, conviction high, only to watch the charts perform their favorite magic trick. Whether it's Bitcoin, altcoins, or any asset in between, that window between decision and execution might as well be a portal to another dimension. Market makers seem to have a sixth sense for these things. But hey, that's the beauty of trading—sometimes you're the bull, sometimes the market writes its own script.

Laozi just has this special skill—whenever I buy coins, the market moves in the opposite direction, making me the king of shorting...

lmao this is just MEV sandwich attack with extra steps. you're literally paying for the privilege of being front-run. actually if you timed your txn across the mempool during those 5 mins, the slippage you're eating is probably 200-300bps easy. ngmi energy.

lol the gwei gods really said "not today" huh... been there, watched the charts do their little comedy routine while my conviction slowly evaporates. that execution window hits different when you're not watching the gas oracle closely enough 🤷

Wow, this is my daily routine. The moment I press the buy button, I know I'm doomed.

I am an old leek who has seen big storms, and this paragraph really hit me in the heart. It's always like this—full of confidence, I press the buy button, and the market immediately moves against me. It's truly incredible. That feeling is like the market manipulators are specifically watching my account. This is the daily life of crypto. Sometimes I feel like I am a walking contrarian indicator.
