Lately I keep seeing words like “block builders” and “bundle,” and it feels like listening to gossip at the next table... To be blunt, retail investors really don’t need to force themselves to become engineers. You just need to know this: some trades aren’t immediately queued the moment you click—they may be bundled, cut in line, or routed around in a more roundabout way, especially when you’re chasing pumps and dumps, placing limit orders at volatile moments, or when the on-chain activity is hot. At those times, slippage and fees are basically “tuition.”

My own passing line has three rules: don’t use outrageous slippage; try to go with reputable wallets/routes (don’t click random weird links); for large amounts, split them up—don’t go all-in and turn it into someone else’s “heart bundle.” As for deeper details... even if you understand them, you may not necessarily win. Anyway, even after I understand, I still get an itch to trade.

By the way, lately people have been talking about certain regions raising taxes and tightening compliance, and whenever the outlook for deposits and withdrawals changes, everyone’s emotions are even more prone to blow up. On-chain gets more crowded, and it’s easier to get “arranged.” I’m tired but still here—so treat your position like a person.
