Lately, the more I look at options, the more anxious I get. To put it simply, time value is like daily "grinding" people down. The buyer sees the price stay still, but theta is like slow bleeding; the more they wait, the more anxious they become. The seller seems to earn premium on the surface, but in reality, they are carrying the tail risk home, always thinking before bed, "What if there's a big spike tonight?" Others think sellers are guaranteed to win, but in fact, if the market hits an extreme, they might lose all the profits they've made earlier. People assume buyers are just betting on rise or fall, but in reality, they are mostly racing against time. Plus, these days, cross-chain bridges have been hacked again, oracles have reported abnormal quotes, and everyone is wasting time on that phrase "waiting for confirmation"... Now, whenever I authorize anything, I first check the permissions; the same goes for options—first consider the worst-case scenario to see if I can handle it, then decide whether to proceed.
