Recently, someone asked again who is really "being eaten by time"—the options buyer or seller.

My personal feeling is: the buyer wakes up every day and first looks at the calendar, as if the time value is like cat food being stolen a bite at a time;
the seller appears to be collecting rent, but is actually holding a mine detector, and when the market explodes, they have to admit defeat.
Honestly, most of the time, time is eating the buyer, but when volatility kicks in, it can also bite back at the seller.

By the way, it reminded me of the recent efforts by new L1/L2 projects to incentivize and boost TVL,
someone in the group complained "挖提卖" (mining, selling), and that feeling is quite similar: you think you're just harvesting wool, but in reality, time/rules wear you down and make you lose patience.

What I don't regret is... before opening a position, I always wait for confirmation,
prefer to earn less than to let emotions fuel my decisions.
That's all for now.
