Triffin Dilemma - Bitcoin Poem 127 (Problems/Solutions 039)

The Triffin Dilemma shows the conflict
    Between a nation’s domestic monetary
        Policy and international obligations when
            Its money is the global reserve currency.
                The US must supply dollars globally to
                    Meet demand, leading to trade deficits
                        And issues such as inflation and debt.
                            Therefore
                        Bitcoin offers a potential solution by
                    Operating outside of any one nation.
                As a decentralized currency, it halts
            The need for any one country to bear
        The burden of reserve currency status.
    Bitcoin’s fixed supply stops inflation and
The global reach serves every nation.

Good Feelings (Prosperity Poem 83)

Christopher Westra Jul 2020

Good Feelings (Prosperity Poem 83)

Rather than just Good, or Great
I reach high and feel Excited
And when I feel Together-ness
I call that feeling United

The words I use - mold my thought
And help create my body state
So I’ve learned to know the names
Of feelings I want to activate

Pleasant, Pleased, or Powerful
Affluent or Approving
I feel Certain, Clean, or Cherished
My feelings keep on moving

Elated or Expressive
I can feel these every hour
Sometimes I feel Invincible
And bursting with inner power

At times I may feel just Fine
And my body state will match
How much better to feel Divine?
A feeling others want to catch

Name your feelings - let them flow
Feel Blissful, Brilliant and Bold
Feel Merciful and Mindful
Good feelings - they never get old

Pure Money (Bitcoin Poem 113) - Problems and Solutions 29

Pure Money (Bitcoin Poem 113) - Problems and Solutions 29

Through history many things have
     Been used as money.  These also
          Had other uses.  Homes, tobacco
               Salt, gold, beads, shells, feathers.
                    We’ve never had just pure money
                         Which is also scarce and portable.
                              Therefore
                         Let’s use a money that acts only
                    As money, not a commodity that
               Is sometimes money and other
          Times used as something else.
     Bitcoin is pure money, and also
Scarce, portable, and divisible.

Using our variety in synergy

Sovereign Wealth - Bitcoin Poem 128 (Problems/Solutions 040)

Sovereign Wealth - Bitcoin Poem 128 (Problems/Solutions 040)

Many nations of the world have a
   Sovereign Wealth Fund to hold value
      Over many years for the country’s people.
         Just as with individual savings, it’s a problem
            When much value is lost through debasement.
               Nations need a savings tool that holds value!
                  Therefore
               Many nations and states are adopting bitcoin
            For a part of their sovereign wealth fund so
         That the value is preserved for generations.
      Bitcoin is independent of any one nation,
   Permissionless, decentralized, liquid,
Easy to store, and highly secure.

Opportunity (Prosperity Poem 121)

See opportunities arise
Today, tomorrow, and always
With clever thought
And insight
You will see
Where opportunity lies

Always a place
Ever enough space
In times of trial
And in times of blessing
Opportunity will show
Its kindly face

Forever your friend
Opportunity can mend
Every heartache and hardship
By showing a new way
And a brighter day
Opportunity will never end

Opportunity is all around..! I've been investing lately, and sometimes people feel like they are missing out - or have missed out on an opportunity. But there will always be opportunities next week, next year, and ten years from now.

You can SEE opportunities more by opening your mind and your heart to them!

Back to You (Prosperity Poem 109)

Christopher Westra Feb 2021

Back to You (Prosperity Poem 109)

If you send out love and mercy
And do the best you know to do
You’ll find the mercy and the love
Quickly flows right back to you

It may begin right in your heart
Your intentions - firm and true
And then you send that energy
Which reciprocates back to you

If you send out “hating” energy
Making others fret and stew
Know that those same vibrations
Will someday come back to you

Choose your thoughts most carefully
Once sent - they may pass from view
But through the universal law
They’ll cycle round back to you

Our son asked me and my wife the other day, "Do you believe in Karma?" I said absolutely, and referenced a scripture that I think describes the way Karma works. I think of it more as the "Law of Restoration".
That which you "send out" comes back to you. If you send out love, you'll receive back love. If you send out anger, you'll receive back anger. We are all tied in with one another more than we realize, and we make better, more loving choices when we recognize this.

Patience (Prosperity Poem 122)

Christopher Westra May 2021

Patience (Prosperity Poem 122)

Patience is loving
Patience brings peace
Patience can bring you
A welcome increase

Patience is kindness
Compassion and care
To self and to others
In actions and prayer

Patience is purpose
And focus in thought
It makes it quite easy
To do what you ought

Patience brings plenty
It just takes some time
Develop this virtue
And make life sublime

We live in a rich fertile expanding universe, so if you plant seeds and nurture them, they will grow!

These could be seeds of plants, or thought seeds, or intent seeds. However, you do need patience while the universe does its part.

Patience will not only make you more prosperous, but kinder and happier also.

Confiscation (Problems/Solutions 043) Bitcoin Poem 131

Confiscation (Problems/Solutions 043) Bitcoin Poem 131

Centralized coffers, a tempting sight,
   Gold, fiat, digits, held with great might.
      A stroke of a pen, a server’s command,
         And fortunes are seized, across the land.
            The state’s hungry hand, or a thief’s intent,
               And our wealth is now gone, to our lament.
                  Therefore
               We need a refuge, a secure & digital keep,
            Where our private keys allow us to sleep.
         A bearer asset, secured by code & math,
      An immutable ledger, and a secure path.
   No single point fails, no central control,
Bitcoin is a fortress, to keep you whole.

Christopher Westra Feb 2020

Live With Purpose (Prosperity Poem 65)

I can live with purpose
I can use my mind and will
Each action made with power
Makes me centered, calm, and still

When I live with purpose
I can navigate my life
Increasing love and happiness
And minimizing strife

As I live with purpose
I prosper in all I do
My purpose brings me strength
To ever begin anew

Proof of Reserves - Bitcoin Poem 129 - Problems/Solutions 41

Christopher Westra Mar 8

Proof of Reserves - Bitcoin Poem 129 - Problems/Solutions 41

The value of a money depends on
   How much of it is created, but it’s hard
      To audit the gold supply or find out how
         Many dollars or yen or euro are created.
            Failure to have a proof of reserves system
               Always leads to debasement of the money.
                  Therefore
               An ideal money enables proof of reserves
            And thus is auditable by anyone on earth
         Without permission, from any computer.
      Bitcoin is a ledger where you can check
   The Proof of Reserves every 10 minutes,
Verifying the supply and halting inflation.

Availability (Bitcoin Poem 037)

Christopher Westra Dec 2022

Availability (Bitcoin Poem 037)

Fiat money is not available to everyone
   Billions are unbanked or underbanked
      Which is inconvenient, costly, and risky
         They have no way to save value over time
            Or to borrow to start building an enterprise
               Susceptible to predatory lenders and fees
                  Keeping these families in poverty and pain
                     Therefore
                  We need a system for all to grow wealth
               Permissionless and without discrimination
            Where people can build value securely
         And create a life for themselves and for
      Generations to come across the earth
   We need a money truly available to all
The solution is Bitcoin - come join today
