I used to fantasize about causing some "queue jumping," but I ended up being doubted about my life... It was only later that I realized that MEV/ordering stuff, the unluckiest ones are often not the big players, but ordinary people making small trades: once slippage kicks in, the path changes, the queue order shifts, you think you're trading, but you're actually providing "exploitable" space for others.



To put it simply, fairness or unfairness isn't about slogans; it's about who can see you in advance and who can change your position before or after. The moment you confirm with your wallet, your intentions are exposed, and the rest is just others writing the script. Recently, there's been complaints about on-chain data tools and tagging systems being laggy, and I agree: of course, you can see the tags clearly in hindsight, but when it comes to who’s watching you now, or whether they’re the same group changing addresses, you simply don’t have time to react.

My current approach is very simple: avoid chasing hot topics, avoid rushing during crowded times, I’d rather miss out than become material... We’ll talk more next time.
