These days, everyone is again flipping through the unlock calendar, and there's a wave of anxiety in the group about "it might break."

To me, it seems more like a reminder: who is the time value really eating?
Option buyers, in simple terms, are buying "what might happen in the future."
Every day they wake up, if the price doesn't go up or down, the premium is slowly eaten away by time;
sellers, on the other hand, are like collecting rent, but they fear a sudden unlock selling pressure/news volatility, and all the rent they collected earlier might be wiped out in an instant.

Recently, I also followed someone who daily posted about seller profits, which looked very tempting,
but later, whenever they faced big volatility, they started topping up margin and holding the position,
and I became a bit more calm... so I quietly unfollowed.
Anyway, I now prefer to think of "earning time" as a small position side hustle,
while my main position is still honestly layered, clearly tracking the source of profits,
so that time doesn't end up paying my tuition.
