Recently, I've seen more people on the blockchain watching "large transfers / hot and cold wallet movements" as signals of smart money.

Honestly, I find it a bit frustrating... To put it plainly, that transaction you see might have already been "cut in line" by others multiple times.
This MEV sorting game might just mean more profit for big players, but for small transactions, it results in worse slippage, poorer execution, and even the same click of a button can lead to completely different experiences.

I'm now even more anxious about farming: not because I'm worried about missing airdrops, but because I'm afraid I might become the meat that others cut into.
So I stick to my old habits—first check the contract and fund flow, use limit orders/protection when possible, and try not to rush during peak times.
Fairness on the chain might not be perfect, but at least I can turn the "risk of getting scammed" into a checklist.
Forget it, I'll just stick to this for now.
