Lately, I've been debating whether options buyers or sellers are more "comfortable"… Honestly, time value is like water flowing out every day. Buyers focus on that burst of potential, but if the market stays still, they still lose; if it doesn't move enough, they also lose. It feels like money is being chewed up little by little by time; sellers seem to be collecting rent, but when a black swan event hits, they can lose everything they've gained, and they have to pray that transaction fees don't wipe out their marginal advantage.

By the way, I saw discussions in the community about privacy coins/mixing coins and compliance boundaries. The emotions are quite similar to options trading: buyers are "I just bet on breaking through," sellers are "I just profit from your hesitation." I'm currently leaning more conservative, preferring to earn less rather than drawing my drawdown curve like an electrocardiogram. For now, that's how it is.
