Review the code, it’s plain to see It’s open source, for you and me Bitcoin provides an open book You want to see? Just take a look
If closed, we couldn’t verify The way it works - or firm supply We couldn’t see the security Or if the code will make us free
With open source, we know the rules The inner workings - all the tools So much better than the fiat scheme With changing rules - in the extreme
We aren’t all coders, this is true But thousands check the code for you Bitcoin is reviewed, every day It’s open source, and on display
Likely the code most analyzed So it performs as advertised And keeps our ledger so secure Review the code, it will endure
You can see this poem on a background here - https://www.bitcoinpoems.pro/delivery097ReviewTheCode.html Quote from Satoshi Below (included on the poem) “Being open source means anyone can independently review the code. If it was closed source, nobody could verify the security. I think it’s essential for a program of this nature to be open source.”
