Recently, I saw someone criticize miners/validators for taking up too much, and for MEV making ordering unfair. Honestly, sometimes retail investors really do feel like they’re being cut in line… I’ll post a cat picture first to calm down (imagine my cat’s face lying on the keyboard).

By the way, let’s talk about custody: if you don’t have many assets and you just treat it as spending money, I think a hardware wallet is enough—just don’t put the seed phrase in your photo album. Once you reach a certain amount, one shaky moment from your own hands is enough to hurt; multi-signature is more suitable. Even if it’s a bit of a hassle, it’s more reassuring. For larger amounts, or if family members also need to be able to take over, social recovery is pretty attractive. Find someone you can trust as a “rescue team,” but think through the relationship up front—so you’re not dealing with something more troublesome than MEV later. Anyway, this is what I do right now: multi-signature for the big holdings, small hot wallets, and the cat is responsible for randomly helping me click “confirm” (just joking).
