The arbitrage idea for the PIPPIN token has been a bit stuck recently. After doing some calculations, I found that the problem is significant—earning only a little over two hundred dollars in funding fees in a whole day, while the losses on the other side exceed seven hundred. When tallying this up, the fees and slippage eat up the profits, effectively invalidating the strategy.

The previously heard "double eat" mechanism also didn't deliver the expected results. In the current market environment, funding fees are becoming increasingly slim, and the rates for mainstream coins like XRP are also weakening. It seems not all arbitrage opportunities can withstand practical testing, so I need to keep exploring new ideas.

The fee directly cuts into the profits, this is the reality.

Bro, this trick is already everywhere, and the transaction fee eats away immediately, breaking the strategy. --- The funding fee has dropped so much, still hoping PIPPIN will turn things around? --- Dual eating mechanism? Sounds mysterious, but in practice, it's all traps. --- Can a 700 yuan loss teach you anything, brother? --- Honestly, it’s just that the market has no money left; no one can expect to scalp anymore. --- I gave up on this idea three months ago; why am I only realizing it now? --- XRP fees are weakening, mainstream coins are no good, and small coins are even less likely. --- Two hundred yuan in, a thousand yuan out— isn’t that just charity? --- Keep pondering? Better to switch directly, don’t stubbornly hold on. --- Slippage + transaction fees combined kill arbitrage strategies outright.

The transaction fee directly kills the game, what's the point of playing anymore?

Arbitrage sounds great in theory, but in practice, it's a disaster.

Arbitrage really is just armchair strategy; as soon as you get on the battlefield, you're headshot by transaction fees. I've also looked into the PIPPIN approach, and it turns out to be a money-losing venture; the fee rates simply can't support it. With the funds and fees gone, what's the point of arbitrage anymore... It's time to change your approach, brother.

Arbitrage sounds great in theory, but in practice it's all pitfalls. Transaction fees eat up your profits immediately, PIPPIN this time is a lesson learned. Funding fees are already razor-thin, plus slippage... Honestly, I can't quite see where the profit would come from.
