Recently, I've seen a bunch of people watching staking unlocks, token unlock calendars, and worrying every day that "when the selling pressure comes, I won't be able to escape." But honestly, it's not just because others are selling; it's because you default to being at the end of the line when it comes to sorting.
Who does the MEV "cutting in line" affect the most? The most direct impact is on regular swap users: you think clicking confirm ends it? Actually, you're still playing a queue game with a group of people who understand block timing better. I’m not pretending to be a saint about fairness; on the chain, it's all about bidding for position. But many people treat it as "market natural fluctuations," then get squeezed and blame their slow reactions.
I'm just someone who watches gas fees; all I can do is tighten slippage in advance, split orders, and jump in when emotions are at their peak... Anyway, don’t treat "unlock anxiety" as the only variable. The real cut often comes from the sorting order that fills in the gaps for you.
