Someone asked me whether options buyers or sellers are happier. Basically, it's about who the time value is bleeding. The buyer is spending money to buy "possibility"; if you do nothing every day, you're being worn down by time little by little. If the market doesn't move, it's like a vinyl record gathering dust; the seller seems to be collecting rent, with time on their side. But once there's a big fluctuation, don't pretend to be calm—losing money can be quick and sharp. I personally prefer to slowly gain certainty, at most using a small position to buy insurance. I don't really like betting everything on a turnaround. Recently, before and after that public chain upgrade/maintenance, everyone started guessing whether it would migrate. I actually think these nodes are the easiest to amplify volatility. Buyers want to wait for "news-driven" moves; sellers want to eat up time. In the end, who gets eaten... depends on whether you can handle that intense moment. Anyway, I’ll keep my position steady and not be driven by emotions to run away.
