My understanding of block builders and bundles is still only at the level of “someone bundles a bunch of transactions into a block, and also gets to decide where you get placed.” To be blunt, it doesn’t help retail investors to know too much. What you really need to guard against is not chasing trades in big slippage, not casually signing weird authorizations, and not getting “pumped” by pitch lines like “guaranteed execution/covered.” Slow down. Place orders more cautiously—better to miss out than to be someone else’s fuel in the chain’s late-night session.

Recently, social mining and fan tokens also feel pretty much like this. I don’t know whether anyone is mining attention, but attention definitely gets bundled and resold… so I’ll slow down and watch the commotion, be less impulsive, and use the recall/withdraw button more.
