These past few days, I've been monitoring on-chain transactions, and the more I look, the more I realize that "cutting in line" is quite a real issue: you think you're fighting the order book, but you're actually fighting the sorting system. MEV isn't just bots snatching your slippage; it's more about changing the original order you were supposed to execute in. The result is that with the same pattern and volume, the entry and exit points become very mysterious. The affected aren't the big players; it's more like me, a day trader, who gets swept in a chain reaction as soon as my stop-loss triggers, and my emotions go haywire.

Recently, the testnet incentives and points system are the same; everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens. But the on-chain competition isn't about the product; it's about scripts and queue positions... To put it simply, fairness is like trading volume—you can see it, but you can't grasp it. I'm now trading less, placing fewer small orders, and whenever I see signs of disorderly sequencing, I shut down my computer and take a walk. Anyway, fighting head-on will only make me more impulsive. That's all for now.
