My prediction is that we'll see people using low-security obfuscation - either some new ultra-risky flavor of diamond, or local mixing - quite soon, in contexts where it's playing a relatively low-security role and breakage is not fatal. There's some partial overlap with TEEs. The main advantage low-sec obf has over TEEs is that it's software-only, so it's easy to use inside sandboxes etc. Another kind of use is as a poor man's STARK, eg. as an anti-DoS proof - if someone breaks it, then the worst that happens is that that particular protocol gets DoS'd and you have to fall back to either TEEs or full-size STARKs. (assuming quantum safety is required) Also I'm taking into account gains from AI speeding up math by 10x - hopefully we can speedrun 40 years worth of cryptanalysis back-and-forth in 4 years.

You were certainly right about the reacceleration in the near term when the official data was starting to look soft.

+ $250,000 USD 💵 My PnL may not be the biggest or most impressive in this space, but it is real. I have never claimed to be a whale, trade hedge fund size, or be anything I am not. I simply share my genuine thoughts, positioning and bias as the market develops. My current unrealized $BTC PnL sits at over 250K. Not including the SOL spot position I shared at 77, or my LTC position. I have never claimed to be a whale or pretended to trade some ridiculous size. This space has become so used to fake screenshots, demo accounts and million dollar larp PnLs that genuine, transparent results barely get acknowledged. The only real way to be transparent is to document the process and show your actual entries as they happen. That is exactly what I do, publicly and for free. No paid group. No paid signals. No hiding behind a paywall. I would rather be transparent than chase validation. Morals and Integrity is everything. It is just a shame that so many people in this space do not think the same way. Across spot, my continuation swing longs and the 62.6K long, I currently hold genuine notional exposure of around 14 BTC, roughly $1.25M. As we receive further confirmation that the trend is developing (90k+), I will look to increase that exposure. Over the next few months, I will likely look to add another 6 BTC, potentially my final long before 126K is hit. There is still plenty of time before that plays out. We have now broken out of the previous range and are beginning to form a new one. This could easily become the range we trade within for many months, which is where smart hedges and scalp shorts will eventually come into play. Just not yet.

For those obsessed with chasing every trending luxury, this video is for you. So much wisdom..

$ETH Eth has been rangebound for the last several years... I'd like to believe this goes past the previous ath's in terms of a cyclical play... The play for me is simple - I'll keep adding if theres anything meaningful correction... and hedge spot exposure at key macro levels... Bankless sends its regards...
