Lately, I've been looking at on-chain transaction records and feel like I want to "pause" for a bit. MEV, to put it simply, is just someone who is better at cutting in line and queuing; on the surface, it's a technical skill, but it actually affects ordinary people’s small slippage and emotions: you think you've clicked to complete a trade, but you're pushed to the back, the price changes, and you blame your slow hands. What's even more frustrating is that, even on the same chain, the sense of fairness seems to be quietly taken away little by little.

Recently, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere. I actually see this as a reminder: stop refreshing, stop, and first make sure what you're signing and whether the address is correct. No matter how romantic the on-chain story is, it can't withstand a single wrong "confirmation." For now, that's it, I won't chase today.
