Last night, while snacking on potato chips and watching on-chain activity, I was reminded of MEV: You think that just placing a buy order puts you in line, but someone secretly "cuts in line" behind you, drinking your soup first... Frankly, it's not about who is smarter, but small traders like me are most vulnerable to slippage and failed transactions, which can drive you crazy. What's more annoying is that you can't see your opponents; you can only watch candles perform. Recently, I've heard rumors of increased taxes and tighter compliance in certain regions, causing deposit and withdrawal expectations to shift. Everyone is rushing to jump in, and those cutting in line have more reason to "sneak in." I'm not upset about the outcome; I'm just annoyed that I still chase that green candle even though I know I'll get squeezed. Forget it, today I'll split my orders into smaller parts and set proper ranges, so I don't become market fodder again.
