Last night, I saw in the group that there was again a debate about incentives for new L1/L2 projects, with everyone rushing for TVL while complaining "mining and selling," essentially saying that time is dragging you along: you think you're waiting for an airdrop, but in reality, you're being diluted, locked in, and emotionally drained every day... I feel tired just watching it all. Anyway, whenever I see "limited time" or "countdown," I take a moment to stay calm.

Options trading is pretty similar. The buyer pays the premium, and the biggest risk isn't wrong direction but "market stagnation"—time value erodes you daily; sellers seem to earn passively over time, but in reality, they're exchanging small gains for big risks, and a single needle can pierce through. So don't just look at who seems smarter; the key is whether you're buying "opportunities" or selling "insurance," and whether you can withstand that period when nothing happens.
