Recently, I saw a bunch of people talking about block builders and bundles, saying that if retail investors don’t understand, they’ll get “eaten.” Honestly, I think it’s enough for us to know what can protect ourselves: your transactions aren’t immediately included in blocks, there are people packaging and inserting orders in between, this is an objective fact; all you can do is choose reliable wallets/routers, don’t rush in when liquidity is thin, try to use limit orders/scale in batches, and avoid getting upset over slippage and “clicking but the transaction doesn’t go through well.” As for how each builder抢, how MEV is bypassed, chasing the full set of knowledge can easily turn into anxiety about knowledge.

By the way, I’m also tired of the interpretation that ETF capital flows follow the US stock market’s risk appetite logic—like all rises and falls have a master switch… Anyway, the market more resembles a tug-of-war among many people.
What I don’t regret is: at least keeping in mind that “transaction paths can be manipulated,” and still voting when needed, doing less when possible, trusting the process halfway, and paying close attention to the details.
