Recently, trading options feels quite like eating ice cream: the buyer is "I want to enjoy now," the seller is "I’ll collect rent slowly." The concept of time value, frankly, is like biting the buyer every day; even if you do nothing, it still declines. As for the seller, their mindset is like running a blind box shop, hoping you won't last until the draw and will leave. But don’t think of the seller as a guaranteed win; when a celebrity makes a call, meme attention shifts, and the market accelerates, the seller can go from collecting rent to chasing debt... Veteran players advise newcomers not to take the last hit; I think options are more like: don’t be the last one paying the time fee. Don’t treat your position as a joke, really, just start like this.
