Recently watching the options market, the more I look, the more I feel that "time" is pretty biased: as a buyer, the time value is bleeding daily, and even if the market doesn't move, you're still losing; as a seller, time is like paying you a salary, but only if you don't hit those sudden one-sided moves. Basically, who pays the rent—the buyer pays first, the seller collects rent, but if the house catches fire, the seller loses even faster.
This feeling is a bit like those blockchain games with inflation and studio-generated output: every day, the system is "issuing tokens," looking lively, but actually consuming future value in advance, and when the token price softens, it spirals downward. Anyway, I now trust simple rules more: buyers only enter when I can accept "time burning out," and sellers strictly limit losses, otherwise the rent isn't enough to cover a fire disaster.
