Lately, I’ve been watching that MEV/ordering setup on-chain, and the more I look, the more it feels like buying bread during the early morning rush: you think everyone follows the queue, but it turns out someone slips a little note in through the side door and grabs the hot bread first… To put it plainly, it’s not about whether there’s “bread” or not—it’s about whether you could originally buy it at the normal price, or whether you’ll be skimmed/charged extra because of higher slippage. The most direct impact on retail investors is that trading gets worse: when you’re doing token launches or trying out a testnet, even if your hand speed isn’t slow, you still keep getting “cut in line.” Then the community starts guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens, and whether the points will actually be worth anything—I’m pretty conflicted about it too. But thinking it through, whether they issue tokens or not is just the icing on the cake. If the underlying ordering keeps feeling like queue-jumping in the market, then in the end, it’s still ordinary people who end up paying the bill. Anyway, for me, when I place orders now, I’m more cautious—if I can split my order, I split it, and I don’t squeeze into the mix to chase the hype in one big batch.
