Paolo Ardoino posted a Tether message celebrating the Bitcoin whitepaper's 18th birthday, noting Satoshi's nine-page 2008 release that introduced peer-to-peer digital currency to the world.
The post referenced the famous 10,000 BTC pizza purchase, the fixed 21 million supply cap, and the private key principle, all distilled into a new explanatory comic.
Bitcoin trades at $77525.41 inside its Bollinger Bands on the 4h chart, with the EMA50 at $79778.93 and EMA200 at $81337.06 acting as overhead resistance while the MACD death cross at -897.45 keeps the structure bearish; RSI at 38.83 shows neutral momentum, suggesting a test of the lower band near $75556.12 remains possible before any sustained recovery.
