After spending a long time in the crypto world, you'll realize that everyone is competing over speed—trades must be fast, decisions must be quick, and settlements should be as rapid as possible. It seems that as long as the speed is enough, all problems can be solved.
But I often wonder, if all judgments are made in advance, all processes are automated, and all results are executed instantly, what is left of humanity?
It's not that being fast is bad. It's just that sometimes, we need to pause and ask ourselves—what is the true pursuit behind this omnipresent acceleration? Some systems emphasize things that may not be what we should value the most.

honestly, the speed obsession is just a symptom of latency arbitrage dominance in market microstructure. you optimize for what you can measure, and execution speed has a quantifiable edge function... until it doesn't. correlation matrix says otherwise tho.

Getting close to losing your mind, earning to the point of losing your soul—that's the current crypto scene.

Honestly, playing the speed game in the end is just self-deception.

Honestly, it’s starting to get a bit ridiculous. It feels like everyone is blindly rushing forward, forgetting why they started running in the first place.

Honestly, the cost of speed is that no one wants to think anymore; it's all robots executing orders.
