These days I see a bunch of people talking about block builders, bundles, and so on. Honestly, retail investors don't need to force themselves to become researchers. Knowing the general idea is enough: when you send a transaction on the chain, it doesn't necessarily get included in blocks "in the order you see." Someone might bundle transactions, cut in line, or insert your transaction, so don't blindly trust your fast fingers or always use extreme slippage, especially during busy times. If you want to be more stable, tighten your slippage, don't chase quick gains with a big rush, and split your transactions if necessary. Anyway, I’d rather slow down and get the deal done than become someone’s fuel. The same applies to the incentive wave on testnets—people’s emotions are driven high by points expectations, and everyone’s guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens every day. In the end, it often turns into wallet interactions that feel like clocking in for work... I regret not the outcome, but the fact that I knew it was driven by anxiety and still pushed through. For now, being more chill might actually help see things more clearly.
