Recently, people keep asking me how much retail traders need to understand about blockchain builders and the bundle system... To put it simply, you don't need to memorize concepts; just remember one thing: the "trades" you see may not happen in the order you think. Someone can pack a series of transactions into a block and, in the process, squeeze you in the middle to eat some slippage/spread.

What you can do is very straightforward: don't chase market orders when liquidity is thin, avoid one-click all-in trades, use limit orders when possible, split orders, adjust slippage, and don't bounce back and forth repeatedly in the same pool.
Lately, Meme and celebrity shoutouts have brought attention back to this, and I find it a bit familiar... Veteran players advise newcomers not to take the last hit, not because they're trying to act aloof, but because the "last hit" is often the easiest to get packaged and manipulated.
My roommate also complained: "You check the pool depth every day like you're bookkeeping, isn't that exhausting?"... I want to be more efficient too, but the most cost-effective times are usually when I try to save effort. That's all for now.
