Tonight, I watched the blockchain again and was a bit speechless about MEV's "queue jumping" tactics. Basically, someone sees what you're about to do first, then jumps in front of you and takes the spot. Who does this affect? The most direct impact is on ordinary people’s slippage and transaction fees. They just want to swap tokens or interact, but the transaction price gets pushed away; furthermore, the project’s price curve becomes easier to distort, and everyone still thinks it's "market sentiment."

Recently, some people have been using ETF capital flows and U.S. stock risk appetite to explain all the rises and falls. I’ve seen it too, but I still feel that the "hidden currents" of on-chain transaction ordering are more personal. When prices go up, queue jumping is more aggressive; when prices fall, it’s easier to get trampled, and the experience is pretty much the same.

I just turned off the "automatic slippage" in trading. I’d rather have fewer transactions and take it slow... Anyway, I don’t chase after a lot of gains, just want clean interactions.
