I just closed the trading page, the longer you watch the more likely you are to get caught up in it... But this on-chain "queue-jumping" mechanism (MEV/ordering) still affects ordinary people like me: you think you're trading at the seen price, but someone snatches the deal first, slippage increases, the trade gets worse, and even canceling orders is half a beat late. The most frustrating part is that it’s not necessarily illegal, but it’s quite unfair, like someone sneaking through the back door to buy a cup of milk tea.
Recently, I’ve been looking into social mining and fan tokens, that "attention as mining" concept, and I’ve started to doubt it: attention itself is already scarce, and with on-chain ordering—"who can queue-jump better wins"—ultimately, it’s the most emotional traders who end up paying the price. Anyway, I’m still the same as always, doing less, waiting for higher certainty opportunities, and avoiding rushing in if I can.
