Do we choose Bitcoin, or a CBDC?
One will control - one will make free
Bitcoin works through value and wealth
A CBDC works by cunning and stealth

Bitcoin is open - for everyone
The first and best - can’t be outdone
A CBDC is permission based
Your every action known and traced

Bitcoin is widely decentralized
Stable code - we won’t be surprised
A CBDC is CENTRAL by name
And code will change to suit their game

Bitcoin’s NOT able to discriminate
Freeze your funds - or control your fate
Yet all these can happen with a CBDC
And likely will, just wait and see

Which one has the money that’s sound?
Bitcoin’s issuance is known and bound
While a CBDC has no limit at all
With inflation causing the value to fall

So which do you really think is best?
Do your research, then mentally test
Which is controlling and which is free
When choosing Bitcoin, or a CBDC?

“Play by the rules”, we learn as youth
So all of us get to play fair
With rules made clear - solid and firm
We can play our best everywhere

But if the rules can change at all
Then most of our efforts are spent
Not on play, but on changing rules
And on who gets to circumvent

If rules can vary, why waste time
On laboring ******* the field?
Just fight to be the rule-changer
For your own advantage and yield

Bitcoin contains the steadfast rules
Immutable, strong, and precise
Nobody gets to change the code
Because they don’t want to play nice

Bitcoin gives the freedom to build
To create and produce and provide
Play by the rules, and live in peace
With our work and wealth verified

Everyone needs safe property
Yet our ownership may end
If we no longer wield the power
To protect and to defend

So let’s rejoice, and not lament
That we must work and spend
Some time and force and energy
To protect and to defend

Our homes, our life, our property
We need to comprehend
The crucial stark necessity
Of staying ready to defend

Bitcoin provides a new defense
A system we recommend
Without the loss of life or limb
Yet strong enough to defend

Securely checked, encrypted too
All attacks it will transcend
This resilient form of property
We’ll protect, and we’ll defend

Though we’ve got our Bitcoin plan
Strong and safe until the end
Let’s give thanks and honor those
Who protect and who defend

It might make sense to get some
In case it catches on
Satoshi said of Bitcoin
At Bitcoin’s earliest dawn

Yes, it just might make some sense
In case it catches on
To get some of this early tech
Before the Bitcoin’s gone

Maybe I should get some now
It seems it’s catching on
So I can gain more freedom
And not remain a pawn

It could be time - make a choice
Conclusions must be drawn
But you may just want to get some
In case it catches on

“Fiat” in Latin means “let it be done”
Yes, a “binding edict” for everyone
So “fiat money” means “by decree”
THE approved money for you and me

“Fiat lux” means “Let there be light”
God said the words, God has the right
But fiat money by leaders decreed
Abuses that role - if inflating by greed

Dollars are printing by trillions, it’s true
And all decreed money is inflating too
If “by decree” - debased money we use
Much of its value we can and do lose

Now you can use a “money” that’s new
Not “by decree”, so it’s freeing for you
Bitcoin is money that plays by the rules
Safe and predictable - no one it fools

The money printing, controlled by a few
Takes from the rest - not much we can do
You can use Bitcoin, by choice - not decree
Let’s make the choice - so we can be free

Let’s all change the world for good
Strike while the iron’s hot - we should
Yes, spend or hold with tools we trust
On Bitcoin’s ledger - free and just

We can help the world connect
We can transfer funds direct
Lightning fast to save or send
To every land this will extend

Across the borders of all nations
Across the seas - no limitations
Free from meddling intervention
“The people first” was the intention

We’re on a mission to every land
This truth deserves a valiant stand
Bitcoin remains secure and strong
Let’s change the world - come along

A money system that’s built to last
Breeds long-term insights to our views
And money that inflates quite fast
Breeds short-term actions as we choose

A money system stable and sound
Gives us decades to work and build
Nurture each other - nurture the ground
As dreams and lives become fulfilled

Lasting families, lasting goals
Lasting buildings, lasting states
A lasting vision for our souls
Knowing that our wealth awaits

An unsound money kills our dreams
As every system falls apart
Hopes are torn up by the seams
And all are shaken - losing heart

The “fiat standard” rings unsound
Backed by nothing - quite unjust
A better standard we have found
The Bitcoin Standard - we can trust
