Recently, looking at the options market feels a bit like rush hour: buyers are like people rushing to catch a ride, paying upfront, thinking "As soon as the front loosens, I can rush out"; sellers are more like toll collectors at the intersection, collecting slowly, waiting patiently, every second working for them. To put it simply, time value mostly eats into the buyer's patience — if you do nothing, the ticket shrinks on its own; as long as the seller isn't hit by a sudden accident, they keep picking up small change.
In the group, there's been a lot of talk these days about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various screenshots of "de-pegging," with emotions fluctuating like refresh/retry, getting more anxious the more they refresh. Actually, at times like this, it becomes clearer: buyers are betting on "unexpected events," sellers are betting on "nothing happening," and those who get worn out by time know best in their hearts... Anyway, I don't really trust blindly copying trades.
