Lately I've been looking at options again, and the buyer is like a skin that automatically loses health: even if you do nothing, it keeps deducting. The time value, to put it simply, is secretly taking a little from your pocket every day. The seller, on the other hand, is lying back and collecting rent comfortably, but when the market suddenly erupts, they could be kicked out of the house... So now I'm more concerned about whether I'm buying "hope" or selling "to avoid trouble."
By the way, I see people comparing RWA and U.S. Treasury yields to on-chain yield products, and it feels quite similar: one is steady interest income, the other seems like earning interest but is actually taking on risk premium.
Anyway, I still believe—at least I believe in not going all-in, just staying alive longer.
