Lately I've been thinking about MEV again. Basically, it's about someone on the chain being able to "cut in line," but instead of just ordering and packing rights. The biggest impact isn't actually whales; often it's those who honestly just swap at market price, do small LP transactions, or clear out their positions: slippage suddenly increases, the transaction price inexplicably differs a bit, it feels like they've been sniped by the air, and it's easy to get frustrated.

Then I see Layer 2 now constantly comparing TPS, fees, and subsidies. They talk about user experience, but if the ordering is still pretty opaque, then no matter how fast it runs, it might just be "faster being front-run." I'm now more conservative myself—prefer splitting orders, chasing fewer hot topics, anyway, just to withstand the drawdown first... what about you?
