Lately, the more I look at the blockchain, the more I feel that "cutting in line" actually doesn't affect those big orders worth hundreds of thousands of dollars; they've already got a team watching them. The unlucky ones are people like me who casually swap some coins, set a slippage, and think they're being cautious. MEV treats ordering as a business, and the result is that for the same transaction, by the time you click confirm, you're actually racing against a bunch of bots. To be honest, the sense of fairness is being worn down quite thin.

What's even more annoying is that now the staking unlocks and token unlock schedules are being dug up and discussed every day. When the market gets tense, on-chain competition heats up: front-running, sandwich attacks, canceling and resubmitting... a whole set. Anyway, recently I prefer to do it in batches, set limit orders, chase fewer hot trends, keep a steady mindset, accept higher fees, and at least avoid being exploited by "invisible front-running."
