๐งง 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.

๐ณ Bank cards for family medical care:
โ Hand your card to them? Their ID won't match. Cue fraud checks, merchant refusal, or "payment mismatch" paperwork
โ Permanent records linking your finances to their private health data
โ Refunds bounce to cardholder, not patient (bureaucratic nightmare)
โ "Authorized user" applications - asking permission to share purchasing power with family
And in surveillance-heavy jurisdictions like the US:
โข Insurance algorithms cross-reference cardholder/patient names to flag "coordination of benefits fraud"
โข HSA/FSA cards audited by IRS - using your card for her expenses creates tax violations unless she's a "covered dependent"
โข Card companies sell transaction data to brokers building health profiles ("purchased at oncology clinic")
๐ต/โฟ Cash/Bitcoin:
โ
Hand them the payment. Done.
โ
No ID theater. No financial-medical data fusion. No refund traps. No algorithmic suspicion.
๐ซถ Marriage/family is about sharing resources.
๐ 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.


Fuck X.
โNo censorship on Xโ is a myth. Its moderation is selective, largely automated, and far from neutral.


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.
