Recently, my only feeling about options is: this thing called time value is basically "testing patience."


Buyers spend money to buy certainty and that explosive moment, but every day they are being gradually eaten away by time;
Sellers collect premiums like collecting rent, provided they don't encounter a black swan—one margin call could wipe out months of gains.

So now I better understand why when people encounter cross-chain bridge thefts or sudden abnormal oracle quotes, their first reaction isn't "buy the dip," but "wait for confirmation"...
Because for buyers, waiting and waiting eventually runs out of time; for sellers, waiting for confirmation is actually a way to guard against tail risk.

Anyway, I still stick to my old habit before placing an order: check the address three times, verify authorization again, to avoid missing out on time value and getting phished first, eating my principal...
As for whether to buy or sell, I'm still torn.
