Fiat money - designed to fail
Over the years, will surely derail
Those at “the top”, print to debase
Theft from the workers, a bold disgrace

Every country -  it’s to no avail
Fiat money is designed to fail
Some can print the money for free
What does that mean for you and me?

We need a money, in every detail
Designed to succeed, and not to fail
Bitcoin - money designed to succeed
What people and nations truly need

Bitcoin, it can’t control or surveil
Or basic human rights assail
But keeps the value, safe and secure
And allows our freedoms to endure

History shows - all fiat fails
In spite of propaganda’s tales
Move to Bitcoin, made to succeed
Bitcoin’s growth is gathering speed

We have an Internet Protocol (IP)
And a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP),
Which together make up
The base of the Internet (TCP/IP).
But we needed a money protocol

We have HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
Which structures data into a readable format.
But we needed a protocol to send economic value

We have File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
To publish web pages, images, and documents.
But we still lacked a money transfer protocol

We have Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
Which allows us to send emails to each other
And NOW we need a way to send money

Bitcoin is this Money Protocol -
And the missing piece to the puzzle.
Bitcoin enables the secure transfer
Of economic value across the world

Economic ladders
Now broken and destroyed
No way to climb the rungs
That people once enjoyed

Bitcoin rebuilds our hope
And restores the ladders new
Giving opportunity
And dreams for me and you

Bitcoin makes a way
To slowly climb and rise
The economic ladder
You can see it in our eyes

Economic ladders
Built sturdy, strong and high
Bitcoin brings them back
Come climb, and touch the sky

Growing stronger every day
The Bitcoin ledger
Is here to stay.
Come and get some
Without delay.
Start, and keep on stacking

Bitcoin, stronger every day
A better way
To store and pay.
My words, I pray
Will some folks sway.
Start, and keep on stacking

More adoption every day
Learn the basics
Then join the fray.
You’ll be glad
You found the way.
Start, and keep on stacking

Traditional stock markets are only
     Open on weekdays and for limited
          Hours even on those days. At 6.5
               Hours per day, with about 252 days
                    Trading annually, that’s 1638 hours
                         Open.  Given 8760 hours in a year,
                              Trading is open 18.7% of the time.
                                   Therefore
                              We need a liquid asset that easily
                         Trades 24 hours a day, and seven
                    Days per week, on weekends, and
               Holidays, and on every stormy day.
          Bitcoin has 99.99% uptime over its
     Lifetime, and 100% uptime since
2013.  Bitcoin is Always Open!

With legacy financial options such
     As gold or fiat we have no way to
          Send and receive lightning quick
               Micropayments across the world.
                    We need a way to send secure
                         Micro transactions of fractions
                              Of a penny nearly immediately
                                   Therefore
                              Let’s continue adopting Bitcoin
                         And expanding the use of the
                    Lightning network that enables
                These incredibly small amounts.
           Each Bitcoin is divided into 100
     Million units called Satoshis, or
“Sats” used for micropayments.

As stores of value, two titans stand
One old as time, one new in the land
Gold gleams with an ancient lore
Bitcoin opens a brand new door

Yellow metal, mined more each year
Still has too much inflation, we fear
Its authenticity, hard to prove
By ship or plane, it’s forced to move

Bitcoin, child of a digital age
Finite and quick, enters the stage
At light speed, traverses the globe
New frontiers of freedom to probe

Choose the one that you think is right
Gold from the earth, or digital light
Or some of both, for each in their way
Stores up value for a future day

One of the historical challenges
     Of money is transacting across the
          Borders of our world’s many nations.
               Money in one nation or area is often
                    Not accepted in another nation, and
                         Requires expensive (and controlled)
                              Exchanges in order to transfer value
                                   Therefore
                              We need a digitally native, borderless
                        Money permitting near-instantaneous
                   Global transfers of value. This peer to
               Peer electronic cash system is now
          Operating successfully, started in
     2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. This
Is the truly open Bitcoin Network.

Debasing money is not just wrong
And generally suspicious
It’s personally destructive
It’s insulting and malicious

For those who store their value
The hard working and ambitious
To have their value stolen
Is insulting and malicious

Whether it happens quickly
Or slow and surreptitious
It’s pure and blatant theft
It’s insulting and malicious

For those who don’t have assets
It’s particularly vicious
But for ALL who use the fiat
It’s insulting and malicious

That dollars can store value
Over time, is quite fictitious
In not much time, the value melts
It’s insulting and malicious

With Bitcoin, we have a choice
It’s purpose quite auspicious
You can choose between the two
I hope you’ll be judicious

Millions are flowing to Bitcoin
And joining this stable ship
But almost none are flowing out
As Bitcoin is a one way trip

Many are coming for safety
From debasement’s steady drip
They stay as their value grows
Thus Bitcoin is a one way trip

Some flow to bitcoin for freedom
From the tyrant’s desperate grip
And then grow more committed
As Bitcoin is a one way trip

Sometimes the price will bore you
And sometimes the price will rip
But over years, the value soars
For Bitcoin is a one way trip

It’s a one way trip for people
So far, a one way trip for price
Make the trip over to bitcoin
You won’t need to make it twice
