This morning I was looking for a charger for a long time, and suddenly I realized that my recent focus on the chain is also a bit like this: I want to understand everything, the more I look, the more anxious I get. For block builders, bundles, and such, honestly, as long as retail investors know that "they might not be trading in the order they see," that's enough: some people will bundle a bunch of transactions, pick and choose, slip, get sandwiched, even when they place an order, the execution might be worse, these feelings can basically be explained.
Of course, diving deeper into research is also fine, but for someone like me who mainly focuses on self-preservation, there are only two practical tips: don't use overly aggressive market orders/high slippage, split important operations into batches, and don't rush in during the hottest emotional moments. As for those recent interpretations that "large transfers/abnormal movements in hot and cold wallets = smart money," I now only see them as emotional thermometers—don't jump to imagine plots just because you see them... Anyway, take a deep breath first; minimizing losses is always better.
