A few things to look out for when your bags grow a bit. Remember, all transactions on blockchain are viewable. So when you get a bit more money, you become a target no matter how anonymous you are. Two things to look out for:
Bots will frontrun big orders.
I just experienced this on MDex, a goofy little crosschain DEX. The big problem with blockchain transactions is that your transaction is broadcast before it actually executes. This is the same as announcing you're going to rob a bank over the bank loudspeaker. If the cops want to nab you, all they have to do is get there first.
So. If you are putting in large orders, like upper four digits or five digits, bots will "listen" for your broadcast as soon as you hit the "Swap" button. They will put in an order before yours and take the swap. Usually, because the bot is so fast, there is an immediate arbitrage opportunity that gives the bot the profit and sticks you with the gas.
You can get around this by using swaps with larger liquidity. If you're forced to use shitswaps like MDex because you're fucking around in degen land, split your orders up into smaller orders. You can also try huge amounts of gas or switching the swap (e.g. ShitCoin A/USDT to ShitCoin A/USDC). All of these techniques worked for me.
You'll get shitcoin airdrops.
There are some crap projects (and some good ones) that are programmed to send shitcoins to wallets with big balances. These can scam you in a number of ways. Sometimes the shitcoin is unsellable. The scammer airdrops you a little bit in hopes you'll buy more before you realize you can't sell.
Or the shitcoin could lead you to a site with malware. Best to stay away from shitsites until you verify the veracity of the project on Twitter, Telegram, Coinmarketcap or some public site.
So how can you avoid these problems and protect yourself?
Split your wallet into multiple wallets.
Don't leave all your shit in one wallet. This is good protocol even if there were no scams. You can bet that governments are monitoring large addresses as well, trying to figure out who's behind them. As you expand wallets, use coinmixers like Swirl (BSC) or Tornado Cash (ETH) to delink the wallets from each other.
You should also use a VPN that is set to different locations for each wallet. When you use one wallet, set it to Sweden. Use the second, set it to Malaysia or whatever. Even if the wallets are anonymous, the sites you visit issue tracking cookies. If the webmasters are little government stool pigeons, they can give that information to government. Or they may just sell it. In any case, you don't want to be tracked whether those lists go to scammy marketing companies or to scammy governments.
If you really want to protect yourself, you should have a different computer for each wallet. But that's rich boy shit.
Become a bot master.
This is something I haven't done myself, but I'm definitely looking into exploring. Why should I always be behind the eight ball when it comes to these bots and these scammers? I can't think of a better mini-whale investment than to learn the bot game and put yourself on the long end of this gun. So depending on when you read this, I may be the one frontrunning you.
