Of this novel breakthrough

Bitcoin is?
A neutral system of value transfer for humanity
The most secure financial computer network
A money based on energy that can’t be counterfeited
The most reliable monetary system yet discovered
A protocol like TCP/IP that can be built upon
Making isolated power sources useful and valuable
Allowing people to think and plan long term
The first truly sound money with a known supply
A censorship resistant medium of exchange
Hope for those living in authoritarian regimes
A transparent ledger for clarity and accountability
All of the above

Beauty’s in the eye
Of the person who beholds
And value’s in the mind
Of the person craving gold

Or a puppy, or a painting
Or a Bitcoin, or a tree
Value’s NOT intrinsic
Value comes from you and me

A thing has value only
When desired by me or you
And people value differently
Just look - you’ll see it’s true

That value comes from valuing
And not “intrinsic” worth
And values vary widely
Across people of our earth

Bitcoin’s proven valuable
To people the world around
Maybe you should get some
As it’s quickly gaining ground

The value keeps increasing
As adoption grows demand
But supply is known and stable
It grows scarce in every land

While bitcoin users daily grow
And uses accelerate
Should you wait to buy your bitcoin
Or buy bitcoin, then wait?

As you learn about hard money
And want to accumulate
Should you wait to buy your bitcoin
Or buy bitcoin, then wait?

When you want to plan ahead
And your needs anticipate
Should you wait to buy your bitcoin
Or buy bitcoin, then wait?

If you want to store your wealth
And value appreciate
Should you wait to buy your bitcoin
Or buy bitcoin, then wait?

Highly secure to send or save
And quick to authenticate
Should you wait to buy your bitcoin
Or buy bitcoin, then wait?

Only you can choose your path
Your future and your fate
But I’ll not wait to buy bitcoin
I’ll buy bitcoin, then wait

Often when you’re looking
For a meaning to be sought
You can explain a thing
By describing what it’s not

Bitcoin does NOT

Require permission to use
Allow an increase in supply rate
Discriminate in any way
Enable freezing of accounts
Care who is using it
Hide what’s happening on chain
Control what you do with money
Lead to centralized power
Favor the financially privileged

So in your Bitcoin learning
Don’t get all distraught
You can see its massive value
By knowing what it’s not

Bitcoin - pristine in every way
An asset without peer
Uncorrupted from its first day
Trusted, fair, and clear

Not gaudy or flashy or fast
But simple in its strength
A property coded to last
Proven to work at length

Still original, fresh and new
Unspoiled by lust and greed
Diligently following through
Serving our daily need

Safe in its cryptographic vault
Secure from grasping powers
Stronger than any vain assault
It keeps our money ours

Open for all - closed to none
Its record proven true
A pristine asset for everyone
It can, and will, serve you

One way to get wealth is by making
And the second way is by taking
Inflation is theft
Leaving people bereft
With the pace of inflation breathtaking

With minds all around us awaking
To the rules our leaders are breaking
In Bitcoin we choose
For we don’t want to lose
Our family wealth we’ve been staking

With strength of economies shaking
And all common sense forsaking
Now Bitcoin’s the way
For a much brighter day
With value that’s truly groundbreaking

Bitcoin’s easy if you try
So simple now - I’ll tell you why
It’s not complex - oh contraire
You can buy it anywhere

Cash App makes it really slick
And others too - just take your pick
Venmo’s fast, try both - compare
You can buy it anywhere

PayPal offers Bitcoin buys
Get some while you order fries
Buy on Coinbase from your chair
You can buy it anywhere

Use Voyager - or Gemini
Buy it low or buy it high
So many options, I declare
You can buy it anywhere

Use Crypto.com, or FTX
Buying bitcoin is better than… a kiss
Do it quietly, or with fanfare
Just buy your bitcoin anywhere

Binance, Celsius, or just use Strike
Buy bitcoin (safely) on your bike
Think for yourself, and stay aware
You can buy bitcoin anywhere

Wallets, users, adopters, memes
Savings, shelters, income streams
Everywhere you look, it seems
Bitcoin keeps on growing

Holders, spenders, miners too
Aficionados, old and new
Look around, it’s in plain view
Bitcoin keeps on growing

Over time, it grows in price
It’s grown 1000x, twice!
So focus now & grab your slice  
Bitcoin keeps on growing

Some buyers public, some anon
Price will soar when most is gone
A pristine asset to lean upon
Your Bitcoin keeps on growing

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

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

Gonna use the ledger that’s the best
All my days until I die

I’m gonna use the ledger in the sky
My money’s safer ‘cause I verify
While I’m living - I want to be blessed
I’m gonna use the ledger that’s the best

Gotta use the money you trust
So that you can certify
And trade and sell and HODL
With the ledger in the sky

The Bitcoin ledger where the rules apply
All your days until you die
You’re gonna use the ledger in the sky

Use the money that’s open to all
Protect your funds, large or small
All your days until you die
Use the Bitcoin ledger
It’s the ledger in the sky

Oh set me up with the ledger in the sky
My money’s safer ‘cause I verify
While I’m living - I want to be blessed
I’m gonna use the ledger that’s the best
The Bitcoin ledger is the best
