Options, to put it simply, are like tolls collected over time.

As a buyer, every day you wake up feeling like you're quietly losing a little bit, even if the market doesn't move; you're bleeding out.
As a seller, watching theta slowly flow in feels pretty good, but if you really hit a needle, that "rent" you've earned so far could be completely wiped out in one go.

Recently, I tried a very small order, like 0.02 units, put it up and waited over ten seconds for it to fill, and along the way, I was also worn down by gas fees...
Anyway, it just feels like: buyers are betting on "it happening now," while sellers are betting on "it not happening."
Retail investors complain that validators earn too much, and MEV ordering is unfair—I get it.
Time value + ordering together, the more impatient you are, the more it feels like you're giving money to others.
For now, I won't impulsively open a big position today.
