Lately I've been looking at options, and the more I look, the more it feels like working for "time." Buyers are actually racing against time: when the market is stagnant, they are slowly eaten away by time value every day; even if they see the right direction, two weeks of hesitation can wipe them out. Sellers, on the other hand, rely on time value as their salary, but honestly, they're selling insurance—collecting premiums is pretty comfortable, but if something actually happens, they might end up paying out so much they can't sleep.

These days, everyone is talking about staking unlocks, token unlock schedules, and the wave of selling pressure... I can better understand why some people prefer to be sellers: they don't seek a big hit, just want time to be on their side. But with my social anxiety, I fear the "black swan" knocking on the door the most, so when my position gets large, I start to panic and even want to retreat back to being a buyer to pay my tuition.

Before, I also followed a bunch of narratives about "sellers being steady," but after a few extreme fluctuations, I unfollowed them directly. It feels like it's not that I can't handle it, but I can't withstand the psychological torment of those paper drawdowns. For now, I'll keep being a bit player in the DAO, doing less of the main role and taking less blame.
