MEV is "Miner Extracted Value".  One of the main use cases of ETH is MEV.  MEV (throught the use of MEV-bots) means that the block producer can divert profits from the users due to his knowledge of all incoming Tx he sneaks in own Tx that are executed before the user's Tx and that results in a more unfavorable conversion price for the user as he would have in a real/fair market.  These types of transactions are huge in Ether.

I believe if you are still starting out in the crypto space, be careful about giving out your personal information online. There are many scams targeting cryptocurrency investors online. Only deal with reputable sources when trading!

Crypto trading can be risky, and investors need to be aware of the potential for fraud and other criminal activities. Crypto criminals use various tactics, such as phishing, scams, and hacking, to steal investors' funds or personal information. To stay safe, traders should use reputable exchanges and wallets, keep their private keys secure, and avoid sharing sensitive information online. They should also be cautious of unsolicited offers, high-pressure sales tactics, and promises of guaranteed returns. Conducting thorough research, seeking professional advice, and practicing proper risk management are essential for any crypto trader.
