Options, to put it simply, have their time value "charged" every day.


If you're the buyer, even if your prediction is correct, but you delay for a few days without acting, the premium is gradually eaten away, and you suffer the most frustrating losses;
If you're the seller, the time value is like rental income, which is indeed comfortable, but you're selling tail risk, and if the market suddenly moves wildly, it could wipe out all the gains you've made and even cause you to lose money.
It's like holding a movie ticket that will expire soon, or renting a tenant who might break the lease at any moment—pleasure and panic come at the same time.
Recently, the community's debates about privacy coins and compliance with mixed coins are also quite similar to this logic:
People who profit from "time difference/gray area premiums" are happy, but when regulators come down hard, everyone knows who’s taking the hit.
I personally lean toward being the seller, but I need to carefully calculate margin and liquidation lines—don’t pretend to be tough.
