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

Across the world, there are many
     Energy production sites that produce
         More energy than can be used locally.
              This is stranded or isolated energy since
                   Electricity is difficult to send over distance.
                        Therefore
                   We need a power consumer who can use
               This stranded energy anywhere on earth.
          Bitcoin is providing solutions right now
     To this problem, and here are the top
Six where Bitcoin is a working solution.    
            
Stranded Natural Gas - typically flared, Bitcoin miners use the energy, reducing methane.
Geothermal Energy - often produces more energy than a local grid can use. Bitcoin steps in.
Hydropower - seasonally variable, Bitcoin is a flexible consumer when supply is high.
Solar and Wind - intermittent, Bitcoin mining consumes surplus during high production.
Landfill Gas - produces methane, and Bitcoin captures this methane for mining.
Remote Locations - such as small hydro dams, biomass plants, or remote oil fields.

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

Millions of people, mostly women, live
     In abusive or controlling relationships.
          They aren’t “allowed” financial power
               And can’t even control their money.
                    In this way, abusers can maintain
                         Control as they deny the way out.
                              Therefore
                         We need a form of money that is
                    Open to all people, with no abuse.
               Bitcoin is permissionless and can
          Be used by any person or entity.  
     In this way, Bitcoin gives financial
Power to those who really need it.

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

Fiat money and central banking
     Bring about perverse incentives
          Such as stealing via debasement,
               Economic manipulation & distortion
                    To benefit those in power and control, &
                         Seeking unearned money (seigniorage)
                              Therefore
                         We need a system with only aligned
                     Incentives, where rewards are based
                On work and value delivered to others,
           Price signals are true and accurate, &
      Assets are assets, & money is money
  Bitcoin establishes aligned incentives
