I set a rule for myself: for things like block builders and bundles, retail investors shouldn't research until they go bald. Just knowing that "my transaction might not go directly into the block, it could be bundled, front-run, or reordered" is enough. Basically, don’t naively think that clicking confirm guarantees fair queuing, especially when on-chain hot spots cause gas fees to spike and I start to get allergic...

And those rumors of "de-pegging! Run now!" circulating in groups eight times a day, with a screenshot of a reserve audit attached, are even more frightening. I now force myself to first check if there’s any obvious deviation in the actual on-chain swaps before deciding whether to act. Don’t chase impulsively out of emotion, only to end up paying a bunch of extra fees and losing on both ends. That’s how I’ll proceed for now.
