Why do I get itchy hands and buy options? Honestly, I just want to use a small amount of money to gamble on big volatility, and I find an excuse for myself: even if I lose, it's just this little premium... As a result, many times it's not that the market hasn't moved, but that time is passing, and the time value chips away at the buyer little by little every day.

The seller looks like a sure bet, collecting premiums as if collecting rent, but you're exchanging tail risk for this small change; one day, a needle could instantly turn you back to square one. Don't pretend—sellers are more like betting "nothing will go wrong," and one incident is enough to make you vomit for a whole year.

Recently, the privacy coins/mixing coins and that whole compliance tug-of-war are the same: usually, you think it's nothing, but once they start investigating you, you'll realize that "boundaries" aren't for discussion—they're for getting hammered. Anyway, I have just one sentence now: don't let time and risk stand against you at the same time. It's okay to be itchy, but don't be stubborn with your position.
