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

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.”
