Lately, I've been staring at on-chain transaction records until my eyes hurt. The more I look, the more I think that so-called MEV/ordering is basically someone jumping the queue in front of you. You think that once you click confirm, you're in line, but in reality, you can still be pushed aside. The biggest impact usually isn't from big players, but from small traders following the trend, with loose slippage settings, and who love chasing hot topics—especially memes and celebrities. When a celebrity or meme calls out, attention shifts quickly, and newcomers rush in the hardest, ending up getting squeezed the most. Veteran traders say don’t take the last step; I didn’t believe it before, but now, seeing those traces of multiple transactions happening in the same second, I feel a bit cold. (Why am I starting to act like a blockchain security guard again?) Anyway, now I always set slippage low and split my transactions into smaller amounts. I’d rather be slow than turn into an ATM.
