Recently practicing viewing options as "tentacle timers": the buyer holds a melting candle, with time value decreasing every day, and if the market isn't fierce enough, it gets slowly eaten away; the seller is like collecting rent, usually pretty comfortable, but once there's big volatility, the tentacles get tangled, and losses become unreasonable. To put it simply, who does time favor? It favors those who can endure, but enduring doesn't mean being stable.

Lately, hardware wallets are out of stock again, and phishing links are everywhere. It feels like whenever the market gets tense, people are more likely to slip up... Now I practice pausing for three seconds before placing an order, and I double-check links and addresses, even if it means earning a little less, so that time value and security vulnerabilities don't swallow me whole.
