Today is Day 1 of my new daily journal I will share my actions & views on basically everything markets related + lifestyle Main goal? Become a better trader through discipline and rebuild an audience but this time only with valuable content and not stupid engagement farming 🙏

@Aster_DEX This is the definition of a professional launch 👏

As the lotus lives in water, where no trace will remain. Leave nothing behind. Trade on Aster Chain.

@BybitEU how can we get Bybit merch?

So you think you’re ready for crypto?

@saylor this explains the pump last week..

Strategy has acquired 17,994 BTC for ~$1.28 billion at ~$70,946 per bitcoin. As of 3/8/2026, we hodl 738,731 $BTC acquired for ~$56.04 billion at ~$75,862 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC strategy.com/press/strategy…

@VitalikButerin how about dumping resistance roadmap?

Now, the quantum resistance roadmap. Today, four things in Ethereum are quantum-vulnerable: * consensus-layer BLS signatures * data availability (KZG commitments+proofs) * EOA signatures (ECDSA) * Application-layer ZK proofs (KZG or groth16) We can tackle these step by step: ## Consensus-layer signatures Lean consensus includes fully replacing BLS signatures with hash-based signatures (some variant of Winternitz), and using STARKs to do aggregation. Before lean finality, we stand a good chance of getting the Lean available chain. This also involves hash-based signatures, but there are much fewer signatures (eg. 256-1024 per slot), so we do not need STARKs for aggregation. One important thing upstream of this is choosing the hash function. This may be "Ethereum's last hash function", so it's important to choose wisely. Conventional hashes are too slow, and the most aggressive forms of Poseidon have taken hits on their security analysis recently. Likely options are: * Poseidon2 plus extra rounds, potentially non-arithmetic layers (eg. Monolith) mixed in * Poseidon1 (the older version of Poseidon, not vulnerable to any of the recent attacks on Poseidon2, but 2x slower) * BLAKE3 or similar (take the most efficient conventional hash we know) ## Data availability Today, we rely pretty heavily on KZG for erasure coding. We could move to STARKs, but this has two problems: 1. If we want to do 2D DAS, then our current setup for this relies on the "linearity" property of KZG commitments; with STARKs we don't have that. However, our current thinking is that it should be sufficient given our scale targets to just max out 1D DAS (ie. PeerDAS). Ethereum is taking a more conservative posture, it's not trying to be a high-scale data layer for the world. 2. We need proofs that erasure coded blobs are correctly constructed. KZG does this "for free". STARKs can substitute, but a STARK is ... bigger than a blob. So you need recursive starks (though there's also alternative techniques, that have their own tradeoffs). This is okay, but the logistics of this get harder if you want to support distributed blob selection. Summary: it's manageable, but there's a lot of engineering work to do. ## EOA signatures Here, the answer is clear: we add native AA (see eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8141 ), so that we get first-class accounts that can use any signature algorithm. However, to make this work, we also need quantum-resistant signature algorithms to actually be viable. ECDSA signature verification costs 3000 gas. Quantum-resistant signatures are ... much much larger and heavier to verify. We know of quantum-resistant hash-based signatures that are in the ~200k gas range to verify. We also know of lattice-based quantum-resistant signatures. Today, these are extremely inefficient to verify. However, there is work on vectorized math precompiles, that let you perform operations (+, *, %, dot product, also NTT / butterfly permutations) that are at the core of lattice math, and also STARKs. This could greatly reduce the gas cost of lattice-based signatures to a similar range, and potentially go even lower. The long-term fix is protocol-layer recursive signature and proof aggregation, which could reduce these gas overheads to near-zero. ## Proofs Today, a ZK-SNARK costs ~300-500k gas. A quantum-resistant STARK is more like 10m gas. The latter is unacceptable for privacy protocols, L2s, and other users of proofs. The solution again is protocol-layer recursive signature and proof aggregation. So let's talk about what this is. In EIP-8141, transactions have the ability to include a "validation frame", during which signature verifications and similar operations are supposed to happen. Validation frames cannot access the outside world, they can only look at their calldata and return a value, and nothing else can look at their calldata. This is designed so that it's possible to replace any validation frame (and its calldata) with a STARK that verifies it (potentially a single STARK for all the validation frames in a block). This way, a block could "contain" a thousand validation frames, each of which contains either a 3 kB signature or even a 256 kB proof, but that 3-256 MB (and the computation needed to verify it) would never come onchain. Instead, it would all get replaced by a proof verifying that the computation is correct. Potentially, this proving does not even need to be done by the block builder. Instead, I envision that it happens at mempool layer: every 500ms, each node could pass along the new valid transactions that it has seen, along with a proof verifying that they are all valid (including having validation frames that match their stated effects). The overhead is static: only one proof per 500ms. Here's a post where I talk about this: ethresear.ch/t/recursive-st… firefly.social/post/farcaster…

@trader_koala Never stopped bullieving

$ETH Bullieve and you will achieve

@trader_koala Glad to see u back in the bullish camp

$BTC Time reveals... 🤌

@IncomeSharks yea it honestly feels good even if painful i'll take -20% days over months of chopping in a 10% range

It's nice to have volatility back for Bitcoin. It may not feel that way now but this was the appeal for a lot of traders. You'd get wild runs in both directions.

@trader_koala @avantisfi great video with very clear explanations!

- $BTC - $ETH - What will the ranges look like next? In partnership with @avantisfi

Day 34 Finally my buy orders for $BTC & $ETH have now been filled at $74500 & $2150. Now we ride and hope the local bottom is in with a sustained relief rally coming this month 🤞

@George1Trader So u don’t think sweep on Mon low anymore?

If I wasn't already all in spot I'd def be a buyer here. #btc

@The__Solstice makes perfect sense to me!

Btc drops 10% Stocks end the day green ????

@KookCapitalLLC where has this rumor started from?

we cannot handle another trump rug pls donald dont do it man

Day 33 Been quiet the last 11 days because I was very busy irl and the market was completely disgusting. Atp im convinced the MMs hate me because I had buy orders for $BTC & $ETH at $74500 & $2150 and both of them got front runned by a few dollars. Obviously my bullish ideas got invalidated unfortunately and my plan now is basically to accumulate BTC and ETH for as long as this bear market lasts (which I don't expect to be a normal long one) Will continue to be active again and post some charts starting tomorrow!

@Ddusthold Where have u been lol

Day 20 It is so over again... Disgusting and really depressing price action for crypto yet again but it is what it is. I didn't even bother to watch the charts today because I'm honestly tired of this crap. Planning to do nothing here but wait until we pick a direction...

@saylor What did I say…

Strategy has acquired 855 BTC for ~$75.3 million at ~$87,974 per bitcoin. As of 2/1/2026, we hodl 713,502 $BTC acquired for ~$54.26 billion at ~$76,052 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC strategy.com/press/strategy…

@exitpumpBTC Of course it does after missing my buy limit order at 2150 by a few dollars

$ETH Looks good here

@astronomer_zero @Tradermayne It is already there almost

@Tradermayne It won't. The range bull case is invalidated. 75.3k is next.

@fejau_inc I think you should write an article explaining all this about QE I really am curious to understand it more thoroughly

Lotta folks coming to this realization now. I don’t know how much they’d realistically get the balance sheet any lower from here, but I think balance sheet expansion above GDP growth is sooo far from being likely, and QE is a pipe dream

@DonAlt We can’t wait 3 years doing nothing tho

Mark my words, price action is gonna be infinitely better the moment Trump is gone Initial dump maybe but that'll be the bottom or very close to it

@DonAlt What would be the levels you “can’t resist”?

Lucky exit, dodged a 30% drawdown on BTC and much more in alts Just gonna continue to chill until something catastrophically breaks or we hit levels I just can't resist (Or the unlikely case that we show some strength and reclaim some levels we've lost in the last couple weeks)
