I used to think that options buyers are "more imaginative," but I later realized that many times it's just a gamble against time: if you do nothing, it wears you down every day. Time value, in plain terms, is eating away at the buyer's patience. Sellers seem stable, but actually turn "rent collection" into a habit; when big volatility hits, they have to admit defeat, and their mindset is also tested.

Recently, the fuss over NFT royalties also seems quite similar: creators want continuous income, but the secondary market complains that fees affect liquidity... who bears the "time cost" ultimately falls on the holders/participants.

Anyway, I don't really believe in talent anymore; it's more about habits: no FOMO, thinking through the worst-case scenario first, and being able to sleep peacefully before placing an order. Drinking some coconut water, taking it slow.
