Lately I've been paying more attention to options, and the more I look at it, the more I feel that time value is quite "gentle but ruthless": as a buyer, every morning waking up feels like quietly losing a bit of patience; as a seller, watching time pass by makes you feel more at ease, but you also have to admit that it's not free money—if the market suddenly moves, that little "rent" you've accumulated could be wiped out in an instant.

I used to think I was suited to be a buyer, planning to catch a big wave of volatility and then exit, but I never quite waited for that moment, getting worn down by time first... Later, I better understand why sellers always say "collect slowly," but I also don't dare to get carried away—small positions, sleeping well is the most important.
Recently, in the community, there’s been quite a heated debate about privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance boundaries, which is basically the same tug-of-war: you want freedom, but you also have to face the rules and schedules. Anyway, I’ll just follow my own rhythm, only reaching out for opportunities I understand. For now, that’s it.
