Could you please elaborate on what theta burn actually is? I've heard this term being mentioned in relation to cryptocurrency and finance, but I'm not quite sure what it means. Is it a type of transaction fee? Or is it a strategy used by investors? Could you provide some context and explain its significance in the cryptocurrency world?

    One such pattern is the acceleration of value erosion, commonly referred to as "Theta decay".

    This phenomenon is most evident in the final 30 days prior to expiration.

    Traders actively observe and respond to this acceleration, which they colloquially term "Theta burn".

    As the expiration date nears, the rate of value erosion increases significantly.
