Lately I keep seeing words like “block builders” and “bundle,” and honestly, retail investors don’t need to study to the level of writing a search engine; knowing these two things is enough: the transaction you send may not go directly into the block, it might be bundled or reordered; and don’t be naive enough to think that “the moment I click confirm” is the final order, there are plenty of people on the chain watching to front-run or sandwich.

My approach is pretty cautious: try to use reliable wallets/routes, don’t be too greedy if you can set slippage, and for small bets on new pools or meme tokens, do some trial and error—don’t treat each interaction as a life event.
These days, some people are comparing RWA and US Treasury yields to on-chain yield products. I find it tempting too, but thinking about those small moves in bundles, I figure I’ll just treat the risk as a cost for now, and only understand the source of returns when I can.
I still believe, at least in “taking it slow, doing less,” to live a longer life.
