Lately I've been thinking about options: the buyer is actually paying for "time rent," the more you hesitate, the more expensive it gets, and even if the market stays still, you're still being worn down; as for the seller, to put it simply, they're collecting rent, but if the tenant suddenly smashes the wall in the middle of the night (big volatility), you have to pay to fix it. Usually, you earn steadily, but if something goes wrong, the losses can be severe. Many people only focus on the direction, forgetting who is really eating the time value.
By the way, I see everyone linking ETF capital flows, U.S. stock risk appetite, and crypto market rises and falls together, I also sneak a peek, but when it comes to placing actual orders, I care more about whether selling "volatility" during this period is worth it... My partner even complains, "You watch the review like you're chasing cat hairs, but in the end, you still click confirm out of habit." Yeah, that's true. Let's leave it at that for now.
