Just saw a guy complaining that option sellers are “making easy money on time value,” and then got taken out directly by a wave of volatility—absolutely hilarious. As for this “time value” thing, put simply, the buyer is buying “hope,” while the seller is selling “patience.” Now that liquidity in the market is getting tighter, a lot of NFT projects’ royalty fees and secondary-market back-and-forth fights are flying off the rails; creators’ income is shrinking, and buyers are even more anxious, while sellers are getting more sharp-eyed. Anyway, I’ve learned my lesson recently—I don’t dare place orders carelessly anymore. First check approvals, then split into multiple wallets, to prevent getting front-run. Personal wallet security comes first—don’t let time value turn us into “crops” for the blade.
