During the evening review, I was once again disgusted by MEV... To put it simply, on-chain "queue jumping" doesn't actually affect big players; they can handle slippage and priority fees. The most hurt are those small traders who casually swap around 12 USDT, thinking they're pretty clever, only to get squeezed, and the transaction price gets distorted. You think you're trading with the market, but actually you're trading with the sorting rules.

Recently, L2s have been arguing about TPS, fees, and subsidies. I also watch the excitement, but I have some doubts: no matter how fast or cheap it is, if the sorting isn't transparent, being faster just means being the first to get eaten... My current approach is very simple: I prefer to do less, set a clear stop-loss line, use limit orders instead of market orders when possible, wait 8 seconds if needed, as long as I don't let emotions send my positions to the "queueing" people. That's it for now.
