Options, to put it simply, are just time collecting rent. When you're the buyer, every day waking up feels like that little bit of time value is being quietly eaten away; even if the market doesn't move, you still lose money. Conversely, as a seller, it's like holding a scoop to catch water—you're earning the part that "hasn't happened" yet, but if a big spike comes, it's easy to get pierced, and the premium you've accumulated so far might not be enough to cover the loss.

I personally lean a bit more toward being a seller, but I only dare to do so in deep pools with sufficiently thick fees, calculating that I can withstand the worst-case scenario; otherwise, it’s too mentally exhausting. A couple of days ago, I saw that the main public blockchain was going to upgrade/maintain, and the group was guessing whether it would migrate. I became even more cautious: with such uncertainty, the time value might not be in anyone’s favor anymore. When volatility increases, sellers could end up being the ones eaten. Just bide my time and don’t gamble against the market.
