These days, I see people arguing whether it's more comfortable to be a buyer or a seller of options, basically debating who the time value is eating.
Buyers are like paying rent, slowly losing a little bit every day as time passes, and if the market doesn't move in the right direction, it gradually goes to zero;
Sellers are like collecting rent, seemingly sleeping soundly on the surface, but if the market suddenly freaks out and volatility spikes, the rent collected isn't enough to cover the losses, making their mindset more prone to explosion.
Anyway, I’m the kind who doesn’t stay up late, and I’d rather have less "刺激" (excitement), rather than sell my sleep just to earn that tiny bit of time value.
By the way, recently hardware wallets are all out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere.
People’s security awareness has improved, but don’t get nervous and click or sign randomly.
If something really happens, it’s even more painful than getting liquidated from selling options.
That’s all for now.
