Recently, I’ve seen more discussions about blockchain builders, bundles, and the explanations are getting more and more esoteric. Actually, retail investors don’t need to push themselves to become semi-researchers… My own “sufficient” standards are twofold: first, knowing that the prices/transactions you see are not pure, and someone is packing transactions to queue up and snatch ahead; second, understanding that your market order or chasing order is most easily “snatched away,” so try to use limit orders, avoid rushing in during low liquidity, and use protected routing if available. As for how builders compete with each other, honestly, it doesn’t have much to do with whether I place an order or not.

I regret not the outcome, but the emotional headiness that made me think I was “dating the market.” Recently, with some regions increasing taxes and tightening compliance, the expectations for deposits and withdrawals have changed. The anxiety in the group will run on its own, and reflexivity kicks in… I just follow mechanical rules to reduce positions and wait for confirmation, for now.
