Recently, I’ve been debating whether to be a buyer or a seller of options. Honestly, time value is just bleeding away every day. As a buyer, you need to not only pick the right direction but also the right “speed”; otherwise, as the market drags on, the premium is gradually eaten away by time. As a seller, it’s like collecting rent—when the market is stable, it’s the most comfortable. But if you really encounter a big spike (especially in this phase where funding rates are almost extreme, and people in the group are arguing whether it’s a reversal or just a continued bubble), that little premium isn’t enough to cover the emotional toll. Watching the market so intently makes you doubt your own life. Now I feel more like: if I want to buy, I write down “Why do I have to buy now, and when is the latest I can admit defeat?” Otherwise, when I get impulsive, the time value eats away at me. Let’s see.
