๐Ÿงง Chinese New Year + Capitulation = Setup Feb 17, 2026 The bloodbath everyone feared already happened. 8.7B in realized losses. 372k BTC moving to accumulator addresses. Fear & Greed at 9. While CT panics, smart money is buying. The CNY effect is real: - 10/11 years positive returns post-holiday - Pre-CNY selling already done (-46% drawdown) - Liquidity returns Feb 24 Targets: 80k-84k CME gap fill Invalidation: Lose 60k weekly close Not financial advice. Just watching the cycle. #Bitcoin #CNY2026

๐Ÿ’ณ Bank cards for family medical care: โŒ Hand your card to them? Their ID won't match. Cue fraud checks, merchant refusal, or "payment mismatch" paperwork โŒ Permanent records linking your finances to their private health data โŒ Refunds bounce to cardholder, not patient (bureaucratic nightmare) โŒ "Authorized user" applications - asking permission to share purchasing power with family And in surveillance-heavy jurisdictions like the US: โ€ข Insurance algorithms cross-reference cardholder/patient names to flag "coordination of benefits fraud" โ€ข HSA/FSA cards audited by IRS - using your card for her expenses creates tax violations unless she's a "covered dependent" โ€ข Card companies sell transaction data to brokers building health profiles ("purchased at oncology clinic") ๐Ÿ’ต/โ‚ฟ Cash/Bitcoin: โœ… Hand them the payment. Done. โœ… No ID theater. No financial-medical data fusion. No refund traps. No algorithmic suspicion. ๐Ÿซถ Marriage/family is about sharing resources. ๐Ÿ›‚ Banking is about controlling them. When helping your own requires surveillance, tax audits, and institutional permission, your money isn't yours. Don't ask permission to take care of your own. #Bitcoin is permissionless money. image

Fuck X. โ€œNo censorship on Xโ€ is a myth. Its moderation is selective, largely automated, and far from neutral. image

True Bitcoiners don't surrender to spam - they fight for a monetary network, not a permanent junk data dump. Yet some "OGs" like Jameson Lopp mock BIP-110 supporters as a "Knotzi death cult," predicting doom while trolling from the sidelines. If censorship resistance means forcing nodes to store arbitrary/illegal crap (easier CSAM since Core v30's OP_RETURN uncap), that's not resistance; it's blind submission to Core devs and majority opinion. BIP-110 is a temp soft fork (MASF 55% signaling or UASF fallback at block ~965k, Sept '26) to cap spam without permanent changes. Node support's growing (~5.45%, 1,261 Knots nodes) - miners follow economy, as SegWit proved. If you're a true Bitcoiner, why preemptively give up and fight against efforts like Knots/BIP-110? Cynicism? Defending dumpers? Moral blind spot? Or just bootlicking the status quo? Let's align on sovereignty: support BIP-110 to keep Bitcoin sound money. Watch signals at #BIP110 #Knots #Bitcoin
