My phone just popped up a red dot notification saying "Volatility Amplification," and I almost impulsively bought options with a shaky hand... Then I thought about it, and realized that as a buyer, you're really in a tug-of-war with time; even when the market isn't moving, you're bleeding. Basically, the time value keeps eating away at my impatient self. The seller is like running a "rent collection mode," watching time work for them every day, but it's not free; if a sudden big spike hits, it can wipe out all the gains they've made before, which really messes with their mindset. Recently, some people have been complaining that the tagging system of on-chain data tools is lagging and can be misleading. I now dare not just look at one dashboard and get carried away; as soon as a notification sounds, I rush in, only to end up losing because "even when there's no movement, there's still a loss." Today, I’ll just note: when buying options, you need to set a time window for yourself; otherwise, you're just paying for anxiety.
