Lunchtime scroll and I saw someone talking about block builders, bundles, honestly retail investors really don't need to push themselves to become researchers. Just get a rough idea: some transactions are "packed" and prioritized into blocks, the order isn't what you think, so sometimes you feel like you're clicking very fast but your trades are worse or slippage is bigger, don't rush to doubt yourself… sometimes you're just being sandwiched or snatched away. My approach is pretty simple: split large amounts into several trades, don't rush in when liquidity is thin, and if you can use limit orders, don't rely entirely on market orders. Recently, the anxiety over unlocks/staking unlocks and sell pressure has been brought up again, which actually makes people more prone to panic and move recklessly. Anyway, I stick to my plan: if the returns are stable, I leave it be, I won't chase after complex nested strategies or "mysterious on-chain black tech." That's all for now, going back to continue relaxing.
