Tomorrow CME finally admits Bitcoin does not care what time Chicago opens. Today ETF tourists are rage-clicking redeem because the number moved. Wall Street wanted 24/7 money until it discovered 24/7 means the panic button works on weekends too.

Every cycle Bitcoin invents a new priesthood trying to declare some transaction not real Bitcoin. In 2017 it was block size politics. In 2026 it is spam theology with a BIP number. Fees are annoying. Validity police are worse.
