Lately, watching options really feels like watching instant noodles cook... Buyers are racing against time every day, even if the direction might be right, the time value slowly cooks you soft; sellers are a bit more comfortable, lying back and collecting "expiration fees," but once a black swan appears, it can directly scald your mouth to bubbles. Honestly, it's like exchanging tail risk for daily small happiness.
These days, the group is again discussing pledge unlocks, token unlock calendars, and the selling pressure anxiety kicks in. Buyers are more impulsive: thinking "If I don't buy today, I'll miss out," and then time secretly eats away at your chips. Anyway, my own "long-term" isn't that great either, probably just a month is considered long, and being able to withstand a few emotional swings is a blessing... That's it for now, don't get carried away again.
