Someone just talked about options and then it started arguing again, honestly it all comes down to one question: who is the time value really eating away at?
For the buyer side, even if the direction is right, you have to run fast enough, otherwise as days pass, it feels like you're paying fees with patience; for the seller side, it's the opposite, the most comfortable situation is "nothing happens," but deep down they know that if a big wave of volatility comes, the small amount of time value they've eaten might be completely wiped out in one go.
I'm currently more laid-back, willing to bother less, like staking—low returns are okay, the key is to sleep well...
By the way, I also feel that the modularization and the DA layer are similar: developers are getting more and more excited, ordinary users are confused, and time just keeps passing.
In the end, who really pays the bill? We really have to watch it slowly.
