Recently, looking at options markets has been a bit overwhelming... Buyers are racing against time every day, and theta is like a clock, ticking away, eating up your patience and principal together; sellers, on the surface, seem to collect rent, but in reality, they are risking their lives to bear tail risks, and if a big spike hits, it can wipe them out instantly. To put it simply, who is time value eating? Most of the time, it first eats the buyer's emotions, occasionally biting back at the seller's sleep. By the way, I see some people criticizing miners/validators' income, MEV ordering unfairness, retail slippage being arranged transparently... Anyway, I have a smaller position now, less stubborn, so I don't let the market crash just because I get bullish. That's all for now.
