Recently, I keep seeing people arguing about "data availability/ordering/finality," a bunch of terms. Basically, I boil it down to one question: if something goes wrong, can you reconcile the accounts? Whether the data can be obtained, who goes first or second in the order, whether this last transaction counts or not—all boils down to "whether I was kept in the dark." When miners/validators' income drops, MEV becomes even more glaring. It's normal for retail investors to complain about unfair ordering; no one wants to be the piece of meat in the liquidity pool.

I'm not so dogmatic about "long-term" either, as long as it's not just a day or two of emotional swings; probably a cycle where you can withstand a wave of incentives retreat, minor issues with the bridge, community arguments, and still survive—maybe a month or two, maybe a quarter, depending on how the project evolves. For now, I’ll keep watching logs and incident reviews, not just listening to stories.
