Recently, I've been looking at the on-chain "queue jumping" issue again. Basically, someone else gets their transaction included earlier than you. You think just pressing the button means you're in line, but in reality, the order can still be changed. The biggest impact is on ordinary people doing small exchanges or chasing hot topics: when slippage kicks in, the transaction price becomes suspicious, and it's easy to lose composure, then the more they try to recover, the more chaotic it gets.
What's even more annoying is that the sense of fairness is eroded, and you start to doubt, "Am I always half a beat behind?" Now I try to avoid confirming transactions when emotions are running hot, preferring to wait a bit longer, pay lower fees, and stay calmer. Recently, some places have been tightening and loosening regulations on taxes and compliance, which indeed makes people more cautious about deposits and withdrawals. When in doubt, I just sip some coconut water... don’t rush to send yourself off as someone else’s fuel.
