Lately I keep hearing people talk about block builders, bundles, making it seem like retail traders can't survive without understanding them. To put it simply, you just need to know: the transaction you send out may not be included in the block in the order you want; it might be "packed" into a bunch, front-run, sandwich, and slippage and execution prices can become very unpredictable. Honestly, I think knowing this much is enough—don't try to counterattack by researching builders; most of the time it's just an excuse to avoid taking losses.

Anyway, I have two tricks right now: if you can use limit orders/low slippage, don't be greedy; split important trades into parts, and don't go all-in when you're emotional. The kind of inflation + studio + coin price spiral in blockchain games is similar; no matter how fancy the mechanism, in the end liquidity always runs first. I have a contrarian nature, so I prefer to stay disciplined... If I lose, I just close Twitter and go for a run.
