These days, while pulling data on the chain and making transactions, I increasingly feel that "priority jumping" isn't far from ordinary people either. To put it simply, MEV/ordering is just someone seeing earlier, queuing earlier than you, or simply pushing you to the back, paying a bit more slippage, waiting a little longer, or even ending up with different transaction results. The biggest impact isn't actually from big players showing off their skills, but from people like us who casually swap some coins or do small DeFi transactions—experiencing worse performance without even realizing we've been "manipulated."

The group is again discussing stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-pegging rumors. I find it a bit annoying to watch... there's too much information, and the more I scroll, the more anxious I get. My filtering method is pretty crude: I only look at two things—whether there are obvious anomalies in on-chain redemption/minting, and whether the official/audit sources have matching original texts; other screenshots and secondhand interpretations are just noise. Anyway, I don't chase hot topics, try to make coffee during the day, sleep early at night, avoid heavy holdings, and don't try to outsmart myself.
