Lately I keep seeing the words “block builder” and “bundle” being used to scare people, with a pretty clickbaity tone. Honestly, how much do retail investors need to know? I think there are just two points: first, your idea of “I click confirm first” doesn’t mean “I execute first,” as there are people packing, cutting in line, and reordering in the middle; second, if you see slippage suddenly become outrageous or the transaction price looks like it’s been touched, don’t argue stubbornly—reduce chasing, split orders, change the time or route, and you can avoid a lot of inexplicable losses.

By the way, watching the group argue about privacy coins and compliance boundaries for mixing coins until they split apart, it’s actually the same “packing” mentality: everyone wants certainty, but many things on the chain are inherently not in the order you want. Anyway, I just treat my purchase as a ticket for experience, and don’t see every transaction as a fair lottery.
