Lately I keep hearing people talk about blockchain builders, bundles, MEV and the like, making it seem like retail investors who don’t understand will get “bloodsucked.” I think, honestly, just knowing to “not use naked market orders, not to rush in when liquidity is thin, and to give more slippage/time margin for important operations” is enough. Bundle, in simple terms, is someone packing a series of transactions into the same block, with the ability to play with the order. If you can’t predict it, don’t try to beat it with speed. I, being more neutral, am even lazier about competing, and would rather eat less.

As for the recent ETF capital flows and the interpretation of U.S. stock risk appetite, it looks lively, but when it comes to my own trading, I stick to the old methods: diversify my touches, and be ready to shrink at any time. I also keep a “backup” for my positions—one main position, one hedge, and a small on-chain trial-and-error position. Even if one touch gets squeezed, it won’t cause the whole portfolio to crash… that’s how I’ll do it for now.
