Recently, people keep asking me whether retail investors need to understand block builders, bundles, and these concepts. To be honest, you don't need to memorize the concepts; just knowing that "you think you're placing a trade, but in reality someone might be packaging the order and sandwiching you" is enough. Especially when you're opening large positions or slippage is loose, and you get snatched away casually, you might think it's market volatility... I've been watching liquidation lines late at night, and it really makes me a bit paranoid.
My mom asked me a couple of days ago: Is your bundle thing similar to ordering food together? I said it's roughly the same, just someone packs a bunch of orders into a block, and the sequence isn't up to you.
Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock, phishing links are everywhere. Anyway, I now prefer to be a bit slower: use official portals whenever possible, pay extra attention to the address in signature pop-ups, don't confirm blindly when you're emotional... Losing money hurts, losing coins is even worse. That's all for now, continuing to catch up on sleep during the day.
