I used to think that being a options buyer was pretty cool, betting a little with the premium, and losing just that amount.

Later I realized that the time value is constantly deducting "tickets" every day, and if you do nothing, it slowly gets eaten away;
Conversely, sellers are more like LPs, collecting that little "rent" from the passage of time, but you also have to admit: once the market really explodes, tail risk can wipe out all the premiums collected before.

Recently, during the airdrop season, task platforms have become like anti-witchcraft, and the points system feels like clocking in at work—everyone is racing against time.
Watching this, I feel… buyers are actually also racing against time, while sellers are betting that time won't suddenly turn against them.
Anyway, I still prefer to steadily collect small tips and not be dragged around by time.
