These past two days, watching the options order book has been a bit maddening: buyers feel like they’re tugging a rope with time—if the market doesn’t move, their position gets nibbled away bit by bit by time value; sellers, on the surface, look like they’re just “collecting rent,” but in reality, they’re the ones who end up first shouldering the “black swan’s fall guy” liability. Their mindset has to be rock-solid, otherwise a single needle could make all the premium they gathered spill right back out. To put it plainly, time doesn’t stand on the buyer’s side—unless you manage to nail that one burst. By the way, the airdrop season is pretty similar too… once the task platform rolls out anti-sybil measures and a points system, the fur-hunting crowd gets whipped up and pulls together like clocking in for work; the more they drag it out, the more it stops being fun. I’m not going to keep chasing explanations anymore—I’ll accept randomness. If you can understand it, just take a look; don’t force yourself into becoming a robot.
