Lately, my only feeling about options is: time value is "charging" every day, like the buyer is paying rent, and even if the market doesn't move, it still gets eroded; the seller is collecting rent, but it's not free either, a big wave of volatility can make you pay it back, or even be chased to add margin... To put it simply, who is time eating away at, depends on which side you're on and whether you can withstand the volatility.
Recently, everyone has been testing incentives and points on testnets, guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens. I also want to jump in, but I'm afraid of treating "time value" as air, becoming more expensive the longer I wait... Anyway, I prefer to take it slow, earning some fees without overly leveraging myself.
What I fear most isn't missing out on opportunities, but the impulse to participate when I clearly don't understand it.
