Recently, someone was talking about options again, and frankly, time value is just slowly collecting rent: the buyer pays every day, the seller collects every day, unless you hit that big wave of volatility. Many people think they are "gifted" enough to catch turning points, but I believe more in habits—like now, I prefer to buy less, buy shorter-term options, or only trade when the outlook is clear. Otherwise, as time passes, emotions get worn down first.

By the way, looking at the testnet points expectations, everyone is betting on whether the mainnet will issue tokens. It’s actually quite similar to a buyer’s mindset: spending time, opportunity cost, waiting for an event to push the price (or airdrop) out; if it doesn’t happen, time eats it away. Conversely, those working on airdrop farms or task matrices are more like sellers, relying on scale and probability to turn "time" into steady cash flow… There are quite a few hidden currents beneath the surface, but let’s leave it at that for now.
