Just saw a block where gas spiked to an absurd level—the first thing that came to my mind was which MEV robot is playing a queue-jumping game. To be honest, this “ordering power” on-chain is basically a VIP lane for wealthy people. You rush to snipe memes, NFTs, or airdrops—meanwhile they can one-click front-run you and you end up paying more fees as the sucker. Lately, people in the group keep forwarding screenshots of stablecoin de-peg. Every time someone says “there are issues with the reserve audits,” I think about the whole bunch of on-chain arbitrage robots—they don’t care whether you’re panicked or not; they front-run and harvest with more precision than anyone. Anyway, I’m used to it: when gas is high, I just treat it as a creative well running dry and write a self-deprecating joke about it.
