When I first got into the space, I thought "block builder/bundle" was some kind of black tech. Once I understood, I thought it could help me lose less, but the more I looked, the more it seemed like just memorizing words... Now I understand it more simply: you just need to know that transactions are not added to the block in the order you submit them. Someone might bundle, cut in line, or sneak in front of you, so don’t always rush in with market orders, keep slippage small, and avoid doing those "arbitrage-ready" operations on a single chain.
Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have been pretty popular, right? Basically, some people are touting "let AI help you make money," while others are worried about "scripts messing up private keys and authorizations." I still stick to my old approach: dollar-cost averaging + rebalancing, less fuss; if I need on-chain interactions, I use small amounts, wallets for splitting funds, and revoke permissions after use... just wait it out, don’t try to outpace the smart money in the chain.
