Late at night, I was scrolling and people were still chatting about block builders and bundles. To put it simply, retail investors don’t really need to push themselves into becoming engineers… My own “good-enough standard” has only three points: knowing that your transaction might get sandwiched, and might get jumped ahead of others; knowing that some wallets/routers will route your transaction through “back roads” (if it doesn’t head out into the public lanes, you’ll draw a bit less attention); and lastly, when the amount is big and the slippage is high, don’t force it—split it up, or just wait a little. Emotion is more likely to get people killed than any algorithm.

Just now, my mom asked me, “You keep talking about bundles every day—doesn’t that make it like group buying, so it’s cheaper?” I answered with half a line: pretty much… it’s just that sometimes the group leader will conveniently take a bite out of you.

That whole testnet incentives and points thing lately is pretty similar too. Everyone says they’re focused on user experience, but in their hearts they’re calculating whether the mainnet will actually issue tokens… Anyway, whenever I see “points expectations,” I automatically turn the volume down—don’t package your own sleep and hand it over to someone else’s bundles. That’s it for now.
