Today I set a word for myself: Stop.
Stop scrolling through on-chain data, stop staring at others' "god-tier transactions," stop chasing recklessly.
MEV/ordering, to put it simply, is someone able to cut in line; your slippage, your transaction price, your idea of "fair queuing" gets pushed aside.
The ones hurt aren't necessarily the big players; instead, it's those small traders trying to save on fees, only to be squeezed back and forth by the market.
Recently, the modular and data availability layer narratives have excited developers, while users are confused: I just want to do a swap, I don't want to read an "Introduction to Data Availability" first...
But how the underlying works ultimately shows up in that line of record in your wallet.
Anyway, I’m going to pause for now, and before making a trade, ask myself: Is this really a must-do?
Is my position just venting emotions again?
