Recently, I was reviewing those failed trades in my wallet and suddenly thought of options: the buyer is like paying rent every day, with time value gradually eroding; if the market stays flat, you're still losing money. The seller is like collecting rent, loving days when "nothing happens," with time on their side. But honestly, it's not just a free ride—if a strong trend hits, the seller gets hit by time decay and loses even faster. Anyway, right now I'm more concerned about whether I can survive that phase of "no volatility but bleeding constantly," so I can't afford to be too reckless with my positions.

By the way, looking at those Layer 2 debates—comparing TPS, fees, and subsidies—it's actually quite similar: they all talk about speed, but in the end, what's really punishing are the time costs and patience.
For now, that's it. Continuing to keep track of my tuition fees.
