@VitalikButerin My main "habit" is seeing ETH at $2,000, for how many years now...🤣

I actually do the whole new year's resolutions thing, and it actually works. The key thing to understand is that humans are creatures of habit. Doing the same action you've already done regularly takes very little mental effort, whereas inserting a new one-time task takes much more. And so if you want yourself to do certain things more, you need to make it a habit. The year boundary is as good a place as any to evaluate the habits that you're chosen to impose on yourself, and see whether they are effective and sustainable, and adjust, add or remove any. My style is to make them measurable, trackable, and targeted to exactly the level of effort that I know will not make me want to abandon them, even during my months of busiest work, most intensive travel schedule or call schedule, etc. Examples I've done: * Walk an average of >= 6km/day each month * Run >= 50km each month * Write >= 1 blog post each month * Study some language for 30 min each week * Do >= 2 major cryptography programming projects each year At every year boundary, re-evaluate your old list, and decide on your new list. And yeah I have txt files for tracking this (sorry, not gonna use some corposlop app that makes me dependent on third-party servers) You actually want each one to be relatively trivial, so that you can stack multiple, and because the benefits of maximizing are less important than the risk that you will give up on the whole thing. This has worked well for me and I recommend it.

$ETH Ethereum is simply copying Bitcoin's movement so far; there's nothing unique on the chart. We've entered an imbalance zone. The ideal scenario is to remove liquidity at 1880-1900 and then look for a long entry point at 2200.

$BTC Currently, 68,400 is the key level for reaching 70,000, but so far, selling has only intensified as we approach it. The chart shows weakness. Lower targets: the POC is at 64,800, which coincides with a full fill of the CME gap. This is a strong price magnet.

Leverage levels in the market are declining with each passing week. Open interest continues to decline, as the market waits for a powerful catalyst that will allow players to confidently expand their positions.

Start BUYing! it's time to turn on DCA for $BTC this is at least a global "bottom" - that is, even if we go down to 50k, it's all within this bottom, where you can buy on DCA and get an easy 2-2.5x to ATH

Aztec $AZTEC and Espresso $ESP are trading at FDVs of around $200M, a good sign that the alt-premium has been completely wiped out. For comparison, $DYM $SAGA $ALT were trading at $6-8B right after the 2024 TGE. The market is recovering step by step 🙏

@VitalikButerin Save OP and ARB, plz

There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts: * L2s' progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected * L1 itself is scaling, fees are very low, and gaslimits are projected to increase greatly in 2026 Both of these facts, for their own separate reasons, mean that the original vision of L2s and their role in Ethereum no longer makes sense, and we need a new path. First, let us recap the original vision. Ethereum needs to scale. The definition of "Ethereum scaling" is the existence of large quantities of block space that is backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum - that is, block space where, if you do things (including with ETH) inside that block space, your activities are guaranteed to be valid, uncensored, unreverted, untouched, as long as Ethereum itself functions. If you create a 10000 TPS EVM where its connection to L1 is mediated by a multisig bridge, then you are not scaling Ethereum. This vision no longer makes sense. L1 does not need L2s to be "branded shards", because L1 is itself scaling. And L2s are not able or willing to satisfy the properties that a true "branded shard" would require. I've even seen at least one explicitly saying that they may never want to go beyond stage 1, not just for technical reasons around ZK-EVM safety, but also because their customers' regulatory needs require them to have ultimate control. This may be doing the right thing for your customers. But it should be obvious that if you are doing this, then you are not "scaling Ethereum" in the sense meant by the rollup-centric roadmap. But that's fine! it's fine because Ethereum itself is now scaling directly on L1, with large planned increases to its gas limit this year and the years ahead. We should stop thinking about L2s as literally being "branded shards" of Ethereum, with the social status and responsibilities that this entails. Instead, we can think of L2s as being a full spectrum, which includes both chains backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum with various unique properties (eg. not just EVM), as well as a whole array of options at different levels of connection to Ethereum, that each person (or bot) is free to care about or not care about depending on their needs. What would I do today if I were an L2? * Identify a value add other than "scaling". Examples: (i) non-EVM specialized features/VMs around privacy, (ii) efficiency specialized around a particular application, (iii) truly extreme levels of scaling that even a greatly expanded L1 will not do, (iv) a totally different design for non-financial applications, eg. social, identity, AI, (v) ultra-low-latency and other sequencing properties, (vi) maybe built-in oracles or decentralized dispute resolution or other "non-computationally-verifiable" features * Be stage 1 at the minimum (otherwise you really are just a separate L1 with a bridge, and you should just call yourself that) if you're doing things with ETH or other ethereum-issued assets * Support maximum interoperability with Ethereum, though this will differ for each one (eg. what if you're not EVM, or even not financial?) From Ethereum's side, over the past few months I've become more convinced of the value of the native rollup precompile, particuarly once we have enshrined ZK-EVM proofs that we need anyway to scale L1. This is a precompile that verifies a ZK-EVM proof, and it's "part of Ethereum", so (i) it auto-upgrades along with Ethereum, and (ii) if the precompile has a bug, Ethereum will hard-fork to fix the bug. The native rollup precompile would make full, security-council-free, EVM verification accessible. We should spend much more time working out how to design it in such a way that if your L2 is "EVM plus other stuff", then the native rollup precompile would verify the EVM, and you only have to bring your own prover for the "other stuff" (eg. Stylus). This might involve a canonical way of exposing a lookup table between contract call inputs and outputs, and letting you provide your own values to the lookup table (that you would prove separately). This would make it easy to have safe, strong, trustless interoperability with Ethereum. It also enables synchronous composability (see: ethresear.ch/t/combining-pr… and ethresear.ch/t/synchronous-… ). And from there, it's each L2's choice exactly what they want to build. Don't just "extend L1", figure out something new to add. This of course means that some will add things that are trust-dependent, or backdoored, or otherwise insecure; this is unavoidable in a permissionless ecosystem where developers have freedom. Our job should make to make it clear to users what guarantees they have, and to build up the strongest Ethereum that we can.
