Jan, I like your response and think your argument of crypto being speculation is spot on. I'm not sure I agree on the instrinsic expiration of time value portion because almost the entire market is speculation so when the music stops (like we are seeing currently) everything drops. I view time decay like stock options where it's a bit more measured (as stocks aren't primarily speculation).
I feel like with Celsius and Voyager I was staking a poker player who I thought was good and honest, when in reality, the poker player was ruthless and dishonest. I'd be much better off staking myself at the poker table.
Thanks again for the thoughtful comment.
