Tonight at 8:30 PM, the non-farm payroll data is about to explode onto the scene! Will the crypto market bury people this weekend? Don't think that the US stock market being closed means everything is peaceful; tonight's March non-farm employment report is the real trigger that could ignite the market. The market generally expects an increase of around 50,000 to 60k jobs, hoping to recover from February's negative growth. But reality is harsh: if the data exceeds expectations and employment is strong, the Federal Reserve's rate cuts are unlikely, and risk assets will remain under pressure; if the data falls short, the rate cut expectations might rise, but Middle East geopolitical conflicts and high oil prices will push inflation expectations higher, creating a dilemma. Even more critical is that today, US stocks, gold, silver, and crude oil are all closed, so the data can't be traded immediately after release. All emotions and expectations will be bottled up until the market opens next Monday, then released all at once. The crypto market is already under pressure from high oil prices and relatively strong employment data. BTC is hovering around 66,800, while ETH has already fallen below 2,100. No matter whether tonight's non-farm data is good or bad, it feels like a big mine is being buried for next Monday. A few practical reminders for all crypto friends: 1. Before and after the data release tonight, do not heavily leverage to bet on the direction. Liquidity is poor, and volatility is driven mainly by emotions, making it easy to get shaken out. 2. Next Monday's opening is likely to gap either up or down, so prepare your risk management in advance and avoid letting a one-sided trend wipe out your positions. 3. The core issue remains the Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations combined with Middle East geopolitical risks. The non-farm payroll report is just an amplifier, not the root cause. Remember, before the data is confirmed, all predictions are just guesses. Protect your principal, wait for the market to clarify, and only then take action—this is always the safest approach. #加密市场行情震荡

#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 The "Ancient Gods" in the crypto world specifically refer to the pioneers during the birth and cold start phase of Bitcoin from 2008 to 2014. Most of them have a Cypherpunk background, laying the technical and philosophical foundations of the industry, rather than being later capital operators. 1. The Genesis Lineage: The Source of Ideas and Code Satoshi Nakamoto Status: Absolute Genesis God. Published the white paper in 2008, mined the Genesis Block in 2009, and then retreated in 2011. Their identity remains a mystery to this day, holding about 1.1 million BTC that have never moved, making them the industry's "Invisible God." Hal Finney Contribution: PGP encryption pioneer, the first Bitcoin user (received the test transfer from Satoshi). He was an early core developer and a popular candidate for being "Satoshi Nakamoto." He passed away in 2014 due to ALS and was cryogenically preserved. 2. The Theoretical Pioneers: Satoshi’s "Mentors" These theories proposed in the 1990s directly form the backbone of Bitcoin: Nick Szabo: Proposed the concept of "Bit Gold" and smart contract theory, serving as the most direct ideological prototype of Bitcoin. Wei Dai: Proposed the B-money model, emphasizing decentralization and anonymity, directly referenced by Satoshi in the white paper. Adam Back: Invented Hashcash (a proof-of-work prototype), currently CEO of Blockstream, and still active on the core development front. 3. The Key Drivers: From Code to Ecosystem Gavin Andresen: Satoshi’s "appointed successor." Took over the Bitcoin Core codebase in 2010, created the "Bitcoin Faucet" for free distribution and user growth, serving as a crucial bridge from experimental to mainstream Bitcoin. Laszlo Hanyecz: The first person to make a real-world Bitcoin transaction. In 2010, he bought two pizzas with 10,000 BTC, becoming a classic meme of the "most expensive lunch" in crypto. 4. The Spiritual Totem Cypherpunk mailing list group: A group of cryptography geeks from the 1990s, including Julian Assange (founder of WikiLeaks). They advocated "using cryptography to protect privacy," serving as the ideological cradle for Bitcoin’s birth. Summary: The core contribution of these ancient gods lies in building a trustless underlying protocol. Unlike today’s high-profile figures (like Elon Musk), they pursued a technological utopia rather than capital gains. Their legacy code and philosophy remain the industry’s foundation to this day.
