People in the group are arguing again about block builders and bundles. In any case, retail users really don’t need to know all the details. Just know that someone can front-run your transaction and can insert unwanted content—that’s enough. Put plainly: if your order gets sandwiched and your gas suddenly spikes, it’s probably these folks doing it. If you know that, you should set slippage and use a privacy RPC—don’t blindly charge in raw.

Today someone in the group is arguing about privacy coins and mixers. One side says, “Compliance is just a centralized lackey,” and the other side is shouting, “Anti-money laundering must be enforced.” I just find both sides entertaining. No matter what ideology you claim, when it comes to on-chain tracing, how long can those so-called “anonymous” claims really hold up? Anyway, I only keep one or two Monero coins in my position as toys—I honestly don’t dare hold too much. Who knows when you’ll end up getting targeted.

As for the group’s vibe, every time this comes up, it splits into two camps and they start cursing each other like it’s about political stances. I’m too lazy to pick sides—I just want to say: if you really care about privacy, how about don’t post on Twitter about how many coins you hold first, okay? It’s pretty contradictory.
