Lately, I've been debating about options again: the buyer seems pretty cool, just pay a premium and dream big, but the time value is silently eating away at you every day, waiting for confirmation, waiting for a pullback, waiting to figure things out, and often the realization only hits when it hits zero. As for the seller, honestly, it's like collecting rent, living day to day eating "time," but when a black swan appears, it kicks the table over, and if you haven't thought through an exit plan, it’s just as painful.
Watching Layer 2 compare TPS, fees, and subsidies every day, arguing loudly, I care more about: during this hype, am I going to be the buyer chasing the narrative, or the seller collecting a premium and ready to run at any moment... Anyway, I don’t want to be like back in the NFT secondary days, just waiting and getting educated. Let’s leave it at that for now.
