I usually only buy after a rally has already happened, and recently I was forced to look into this "block builder/bundle" thing... Honestly, retail investors really don't need to learn how to write it; just knowing two points is enough: 1) When you click "Market Price/One-Click Trade," it doesn't necessarily execute exactly at the price you see; it might be bundled or rerouted in between; 2) For the same transaction, refreshing/retrying several times or waiting in line for a long time might not be due to network lag, but because someone has arranged the order in front.
Anyway, I’m now only watching two things: don’t be too impatient with perpetual order books, and only get involved when large on-chain addresses move. I’d rather be a beat slow than become someone else’s "material." As for stacking yields through re-staking/sharing security, I can understand being called a scam... The returns sound tempting, but after layers of bundling, I really don’t want to gamble on who’s backing the bottom line. That’s all for now; I still get itchy, but at least I understand why.
