Recently, I saw someone watching large on-chain transfers and fluctuations in exchange hot and cold wallets, and with a screenshot, they just said "Smart money is coming / leaving." I thought this was the most unfair aspect of on-chain activity, but then I realized something even more outrageous is the MEV system: just after you click confirm, others are already inserting themselves into the transaction order, snatching a little bit of your price, and in the end, it's the ordinary people who take the blame.

To put it simply, the biggest impact isn't that someone earns a few more bucks, but that the experience feels like waiting in line to buy bubble tea only to be cut in by scalpers... This is even more obvious in NFT drops or blockchain games where everyone rushes to mint at once. Even if you have quick hands, you still get snatched away by those who are better at queuing. Anyway, I now set limits whenever I can—don't be too greedy or impulsive with orders. Keep a steady mindset, and that's how I handle it for now.
