Lately I've been obsessing over options... Honestly, this thing called time value is just eating away at the buyer's patience. You want to bet on the direction, that's fine, but as long as you don't act at the "right time," it steadily chips away at your health bar every day. When the market moves sideways, it's even more painful than a crash.
The seller is like running a small rent collection stall; as long as the market stays calm, they slowly pick up time, but when there's a volatile move that hits the ceiling like a needle piercing through, the profit looks stable, but the next second, you're basically working for the market and losing money. Recently, airdrop season has everyone clocking in like at work, and when the anti-witch measures tighten, that fake excitement on-chain feels more like "time value": you think you're stacking points, but actually, time is just draining people first. Anyway, I dare to buy now, but I'm more afraid of buying into a "correct idea + wrong expiry"... which is a really stupid loss.
