Some traders will drop $30k on a single trade through various DEX platforms without hesitation, completely unbothered by extra fees that can easily run $245 or more. The nonchalant attitude toward these charges is interesting—folks rationalize it as just part of the game rather than shopping around for better routing options that could save considerably. This kind of behavior reveals how casual retail participants treat transaction costs in the decentralized finance space, rarely bothering to optimize their swap execution even when the fee differential is substantial.

A $30k bet, and not even blinking at a $245 fee—this mindset is truly incredible.

30k per round, with a fee of 245 dollars—just pretend you didn't see it. This is our daily routine, haha.

Damn, you didn't notice the $245 gas fee? That mindset is really incredible. --- Throwing around 30k casually, a few hundred bucks in fees? Small money isn't worth bothering about. --- Come on, this is exactly why big players make money and small investors lose money. --- Not optimizing routing is just giving money to on-chain miners, really a waste. --- I can't understand this casual attitude of throwing money around, but it seems especially common. --- Damn, lazy to compare prices even for a $30k transaction? How casual is that? --- Now I start to understand why some people say the crypto world is full of fools and money. --- Not caring about fees? How much would it take to wake up? --- Alright, since it's a degen behavior, no surprise. --- I'm a bit curious what big events happened to these people's accounts to make them start caring about gas.

Spending 30,000 in one go, and not blinking at over 200 in fees—this mindset is truly incredible.

Ha, this is the mentality of big players. A $245 fee is nothing to them; I feel sorry for their wallets. --- Really? In this day and age, are there still people who don't use aggregators? You're doomed. --- I just want to know if people who do this are still alive now lol. --- Routing optimization and such, most people probably don't even know how to use it. --- A $30k transaction doesn't care about the fee; I'm starting to doubt if this is real or just marketing hype. --- That's why I never trade during peak hours. The savings can buy me a big meal. --- Just blindly throwing money to validators, nothing special. --- There are more expensive ways to play, anyway, big players are still big players. --- I've seen even more outrageous things—burning $10,000 in gas for a million-dollar transaction. Truly brainless. --- Optimizing routing depends on tools; manually adjusting? Uh... forget it. --- Such a small fee is worth complaining about? I got wiped out by slippage for five figures last week. Shut up, brother.
