Recently, I keep seeing people talk about block builders, bundles, MEV, and so on. Honestly, retail investors don’t need to turn themselves into researchers. For me, knowing three things is enough: the transaction you send may not go directly into the block, it might be “packed” and reordered; during big market swings, slippage/failure rate/being front-run all tend to worsen; if you really need to execute quickly, keep it simple, leave some margin, and don’t go all-in with extreme parameters.

The labels on on-chain data tools have also been criticized as “lagging” and “potentially misleading,” which I can understand… Look at data like weather forecasts, don’t treat it as an omniscient view. Anyway, I’m used to taking screenshots at key moments, then reviewing them after a couple of days: oh, turns out I was driven by emotion at that time. That’s all for now.
