Lately, I've been seeing a bunch of newcomers rushing into memes and shouting orders with celebrities, and I really want to give a little advice: stop always thinking "buy an option and go all-in." Honestly, the biggest fear for option buyers isn't the wrong direction, but the time value constantly draining your blood—if the market doesn't move, you lose; if it moves too slowly, you also lose. If you hesitate for two hours, theta has already quietly eaten your lunch money. Last night, I was itching to buy a small $20 order, watched the market for ten minutes with no movement, and immediately felt like I was working for the seller.

On the seller's side, it looks like collecting rent (eating time value), but you're actually betting on "no big volatility." When attention shifts, a meme needle, the seller can go from "steady income" to "instant explosion." So now, what I care more about is: during this period, who is the market paying—patient sellers or buyers who can wait for volatility to explode? Anyway, I don't believe in soothsayer predictions; I just want to see if I can withstand the slow/fast losses.
