These days, I’ve started seeing words like block builders and bundles again.

Honestly, as a retail investor, I don’t really need to memorize every detail... but I still get curious and look into it, because I keep seeing my orders almost getting filled but not quite, and I can’t help but wonder if someone has slipped something into a package and snatched some margins.
The anxiety just kicks in.

Now I think retail investors only need to understand one thing: don’t be too naive.
What you see on the chain isn’t just about queuing to buy tickets; some people are bundling transactions, cutting in line, and changing the order.
You don’t need to write scripts, but at least you should understand one thing — market price surges, chasing that one quick move, are the easiest to be taken as liquidity and eaten up.

Plus, with recent cross-chain bridge hacks and abnormal oracle quotes, everyone rushing to “wait for confirmation” is actually quite real.
Anyway, I’d rather be a bit slower now — earning less is fine, just don’t get broken by strange order sequences and sudden price gaps.
That’s all for now.
