I've always leaned slightly towards the buyer's side when trading options. Frankly, I prefer to pay the "entry fee" rather than be slowly eaten away by time decay every day. The seller seems stable, with time on their side, but I really can't handle the adrenaline rush of occasional margin calls or sudden liquidation... And after selling for a while, I can't help but add to the position, and when OCD kicks in, it becomes even more dangerous.
Recently, I’ve been comparing RWA, US Treasury yields, and various on-chain yield products. My impression after reviewing them is similar: the returns all look quite "like interest," but what’s behind them that eats into your profits is the risk structure, not the numbers. Anyway, my personal boundary is: isolate the worst-case scenario first (wallet permissions are the same), if I can't make a profit, then so be it. I don’t need to be understood; sleeping soundly is more important.
