☀  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($80.8K) and 200-day ($71.9K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $75.6K and $86.6K; today's price sits in the middle third of that range. RSI(14) is 42 — momentum remains weak.

Crypto 101

What's a CBDC?

A central bank digital currency — government-issued digital money. Philosophically the opposite of Bitcoin: centralized by design. Many countries are piloting them.

“Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million. That's the whole pitch in one sentence.”
