Lately I've been looking at options again, and the more I look, the more it feels like falling in love: the buyer is waiting for a "surprise" every day, but the time value is deducted daily like rent; as for the seller, they collect the premium and act calm, but they're actually betting "you won't suddenly go crazy." To put it simply, who is the time value eating away at? Most of the time, it's the buyer's patience that gets worn down; if the market stays still, you'll slowly be eroded, and if it moves, you have to move quickly and aggressively enough.

I see myself more as the seller holding an umbrella, collecting tolls from passersby, rather than the buyer waiting for a rainbow in the rain. Of course, I'm not some righteous hero either, occasionally getting soaked like a black swan event.

By the way, the community has recently been arguing about the compliance boundaries of privacy coins/mixing coins. It seems quite similar to me: everyone wants "freedom," but the ones who actually pay the bill are always the last ones standing. Anyway, I’m not planning to get married anytime soon.
