After I muted the group, the world suddenly became so quiet that I could hear the sound of my own hand clicking to confirm… In the past, a bunch of people would shout “Hurry up and rush,” and I would follow along. Now I start to wonder: who exactly is being screwed over by this “cutting in line” on the chain? Honestly, MEV is just someone running faster than you, having a better position. You think you're queuing to buy bubble tea, but in reality, someone is taking the first sip from your hand. The worst are small traders chasing hot topics; when slippage blows up, their emotions explode too.

Recently, hardware wallets being out of stock is also ridiculous, phishing links are everywhere, and everyone's security awareness seems to have been forcibly buffed. But when it comes to fair trading… it still seems to rely on self-discipline and luck. Anyway, I’ll slow down first, reduce the “itchy hands,” and keep my “brain online” more.
