Ethereum Turns 10: From Hacker Loft to $4K Dreams – The Vitalik Story You Didn’t Know 🔥

Ethereum just hit 10 years — and the crypto world is celebrating one of the most game-changing networks ever built.

From fueling the ICO boom and NFT mania to pulling off The Merge and launching spot ETFs, Ethereum has redefined what's possible in decentralized tech. 📜

🔹 10 years of 100% uptime

🔹 Leading in TVL, developer activity, and client diversity

🔹 Still shaping the future

But here’s the real kicker: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says $ETH might not even exist… if Vitalik Buterin had gotten a U.S. work visa in 2013.

> “I tried hiring him after he showed us cool stuff on his laptop at Coinbase. He couldn’t get a visa… so he went back to Canada and built Ethereum,” Armstrong shared.

So yeah, blame U.S. immigration for creating the world’s biggest altcoin. 😂

Even Bankless chimed in: “Coinbase almost prevented Ethereum from ever happening.”

🎯 ETH Price Eyes $4,000

While Ethereum partied, the price action wasn’t just candles on a cake.

ETH flirted with $3,941 earlier this week — the highest in 7 months — before the Fed rate freeze triggered a pullback to $3,680. But bulls are back in charge. Liquidations hit $212M in an hour, yet ETH is already back near $3,760, up 5% on the week.

Key Levels to Watch:

🔐 $3,300 support remains intact

🎯 Next targets: $4,220 and even $5,140, according to MVRV models

💥 Massive liquidity wall at $4,000 — one clean break could ignite the move

> “Liquidity is pulling Ethereum like a magnet,” says Merlijn the Trader.
