Recently, looking at options markets feels a bit like watching on-chain transaction fees: buyers are paying a ticket every day that says "it will be more valuable later," and the time value gradually wears people down; sellers, on the surface, collect rent, but actually are betting on no surprises. To put it simply, time doesn't favor anyone; it just turns hesitation into a cost. A few days ago, another cross-chain bridge was hacked, and oracles reported errors—everyone was frantically "waiting for confirmation." As I refresh and retry, I think: in this kind of market, buyers fear delays, and sellers fear a sudden blow. The keyboard is still clicking, but people have already chickened out.
