Lately, I’ve been staring blankly at the options section during reconciliation:

Buyers wake up every day feeling like time is slowly deducting money from them, and if volatility doesn’t come, they’re just paying tuition fees for nothing;
Sellers feel pretty good seeing premiums coming in, but actually they’re taking on the blame for “sudden large swings,” and time value, frankly, is just eating away at the buyer’s patience and feeding the seller’s luck.
In the group these days, there’s talk about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-pegging rumors…
When emotions run high, the buyer’s time value drops even faster, and sellers might not sleep well either.
Honestly, I envy those who dare to keep selling all the time— their profit curves are so smooth, but I, as a lone wolf, prefer to write risks into the spreadsheet, with less drama.
