These past few days, the more I look at the options market, the more anxious I become... To put it simply, time value is like money being deducted every day. As a buyer, it's like renting a house—living comfortably but paying rent every day; as a seller, it's like collecting rent—looking stable, but one day a surge or crash could suddenly blow your house away. Especially now, Meme attention shifts rapidly from one round to another, a celebrity's two words can cause a spike. Don't get caught up in being the last bag-holder, the final buyer. Buyers want to "act immediately"; if they don't, they get worn down by time. Sellers profit from "nothing happening," but if something does happen, don't try to tough it out.
I myself stay up late watching perpetual funding rates until my eyes blur, itching to trade options but first asking myself: am I betting on the direction this time, or just paying rent to the market? If unsure, I refresh/retry the order page a couple of times, calm down... Anyway, discipline is more valuable than emotion.
