Lately I've been hearing everyone talk about blockchain builders, bundles, MEV and so on, but retail investors only need to know the basics: the transactions you send on the chain aren't necessarily included in the block on a "first come, first served" basis. Someone might bundle, jump the queue, or even sandwich your transaction... So don't be too superstitious about how quickly you click. For me, there are only two practical points: for large or sensitive operations, try to use reliable wallet routing or private sending, and don't force it during peak congestion; secondly, don't always chase after instant price surges to buy at market price— the more urgent you are, the easier it is to be caught as a "whale trap." Recently, I also heard news about some regions tightening or loosening taxes and compliance, which changes the inflow and outflow expectations. The on-chain rush to act can also amplify accordingly. Anyway, I prefer to stay chill and wait until there's higher certainty before moving. How about you?
