Just woke up and saw someone talking about block builders, bundles, and such. My first reaction is: retail investors really don’t need to push themselves to become half a miner… Honestly, there’s just one thing you need to know: the transaction you send out may not be included in the block in the order you want; it might be re-queued by the “packager,” who could take a little of your slippage or make you end up last and “drink soup.” Don’t bother memorizing a bunch of jargon, just remember what risk looks like.
My current approach is very simple: don’t chase those suddenly viral memes and celebrity calls; attention shifts so quickly that newcomers are most likely to catch the last wave; if you really want to get in, make sure to handle slippage, limit orders, and split trades well—don’t just rush into deep pools. As for the rest… I’d rather go back to my little cabin, watch the charts less, and live through a few more cycles.
