Recently looking at the options market makes me want to laugh: Buyers are racing against time every day, with theta (basically time value) deducted daily like rent; sellers appear to be collecting rent on the surface, but are actually taking on tail risk, usually earning small amounts, but if a big volatility hits one day, they might have to pay back the accumulated "rent" and end up losing money.

These days, the funding rate is extreme again, and the group chat is arguing whether to reverse or continue to squeeze the bubble.
I'm actually more concerned about whether you're paying to buy a storyline or selling insurance betting that the storyline won't happen.
By the way, on-chain orders sometimes require refreshing/retrying/queuing, and during those few minutes waiting for confirmation, the time value almost eats away my patience...
Anyway, I'm now more afraid of being wrong about the direction than being right but too late.
