What exactly is this option making money from? I’ve been watching the market all day and I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed… Buyers seem pretty happy, as long as the direction is right, it takes off, but the time value really feels like an "emotional tax" that automatically deducts points every day — the longer it drags on, the more it gets eaten away; sellers, on the other hand, are like collecting rent, hoping you don’t move too much every day, but when a big wave comes, they might end up losing all the rent they’ve collected before.
From my small position testing, I feel like buyers are racing against time, while sellers are racing against black swans — honestly, both sides have their struggles. Recently, the main public chain is about to upgrade/maintain, and the group is guessing whether they will migrate ecosystem projects, so I’m even more hesitant to sell randomly… If news comes out and causes a big fluctuation, sellers really won’t be able to handle it. Anyway, just treat it as paying tuition, practice slowly, don’t get carried away.
