Lately, I've been watching on-chain transaction records, and the more I look, the more I feel that "cutting in line" basically means someone is blocking the way in front of you. You think you're executing a trade by pressing a button, but actually the order has been rewritten by others: slippage becomes larger, the execution price worse, and in the end, most of the scapegoats are small retail investors and those rushing in with the hype.

In the past, I would leverage to chase that wave of volatility, getting caught in a squeeze and then impulsively adding positions... Now I prefer to first check if the pool is deep enough, whether Gas/fees suddenly spike abnormally, and I’d rather do less.

And then there are those new L1/L2 projects that launch incentives to pull TVL, while veteran users complain "mining, dumping, and selling." I can understand: more people, more bots, and when the order gets chaotic, the experience turns into "who can snatch better."
The word "fairness" is quite a luxury on the chain. Now I try to keep my impulses in check as much as possible, and not let my emotions be dictated by others' orderings.
