Gen Z is entering a job market where the cognitive tasks that used to be entry level are being automated.

Crypto Market Surges Past $2.5 Trillion As Short Squeeze Propels Bitcoin Toward $73,000

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization has climbed back above the $2.5 trillion threshold, fueled by a massive liquidation of short positions and renewed institutional interest. Geopolitical developments and shifting investor sentiment combined to create a powerful rally that caught bearish traders off guard, resulting in substantial losses for those betting against the market. According to data from CoinGecko, the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined increased 1.4% to reach $2.52 trillion on Friday, April 10. Bitcoin experienced a notable surge of over 3%, briefly touching the $73,000 mark before consolidating around $72,000 at the time of writing. Ethereum demonstrated equally impressive strength, pushing past the $2,200 level, while the majority of top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization also posted significant gains.
