Recently monitoring on-chain transactions, the more I look, the more it feels like queue-jumping in a cafeteria line: you think you've queued up to buy cheaply, but the next second someone from behind slips in a "cut-in fee," and the transaction price drops directly. To put it simply, the ones who suffer the most from MEV/ordering are not the "genius traders," but the honest folks doing swaps, chasing small yields, or acting as LPs in pools—you're cut with a knife, and the pool gets drained a bit, and in the end everyone says "Why does my feel for the market feel so off today?" I'm now more hesitant to place orders, preferring to split them into smaller parts, lower expectations, or just do some hedging instead of fighting head-to-head with queue-jumpers. Macro folks are talking again about rate cut expectations, with the dollar and risk assets swinging together—when sentiment heats up, on-chain activity gets even more crowded, and queue-jumping gets fiercer... Anyway, I’ll dial down the heat first, so I don’t get carried away and burn the pot.
