One problem in traditional finance
     Is that intermediaries are needed to
          Facilitate transactions in the system.  
               These intermediaries charge fees, act
                    As points of control or censorship, and
                         Often allow chargebacks (non-finality)
                              Therefore
                         What we need is a truly peer to peer
                    Electronic cash system which allows
               Payments to be sent from one party
          To another without an intermediary.
     Such a system built for the internet
Exists here and now.  It is Bitcoin.

“Play by the rules”, we learn as youth
So all of us get to play fair
With rules made clear - solid and firm
We can play our best everywhere

But if the rules can change at all
Then most of our efforts are spent
Not on play, but on changing rules
And on who gets to circumvent

If rules can vary, why waste time
On laboring ******* the field?
Just fight to be the rule-changer
For your own advantage and yield

Bitcoin contains the steadfast rules
Immutable, strong, and precise
Nobody gets to change the code
Because they don’t want to play nice

Bitcoin gives the freedom to build
To create and produce and provide
Play by the rules, and live in peace
With our work and wealth verified

It might make sense to get some
In case it catches on
Satoshi said of Bitcoin
At Bitcoin’s earliest dawn

Yes, it just might make some sense
In case it catches on
To get some of this early tech
Before the Bitcoin’s gone

Maybe I should get some now
It seems it’s catching on
So I can gain more freedom
And not remain a pawn

It could be time - make a choice
Conclusions must be drawn
But you may just want to get some
In case it catches on

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
We can transfer funds direct
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
Let’s change the world - come along

A money system that’s built to last
Breeds long-term insights to our views
And money that inflates quite fast
Breeds short-term actions as we choose

A money system stable and sound
Gives us decades to work and build
Nurture each other - nurture the ground
As dreams and lives become fulfilled

Lasting families, lasting goals
Lasting buildings, lasting states
A lasting vision for our souls
Knowing that our wealth awaits

An unsound money kills our dreams
As every system falls apart
Hopes are torn up by the seams
And all are shaken - losing heart

The “fiat standard” rings unsound
Backed by nothing - quite unjust
A better standard we have found
The Bitcoin Standard - we can trust

Rules without rulers - here today
With money coded the Bitcoin way
Transparent - and stronger than gold
Open source - can’t be controlled

Accountable, restrained by code
Issued by work, and not bestowed
Bitcoin does not “favorites” play
No influencer can coding sway

A global money with certain supply
Which rulers can’t change or modify
Bitcoin is neutral - for all - for YOU
A verified record - transparent too

Rules without rulers - come and join
The accurate ledger, the alpha coin
Decentralized, yet governed by rules
One of humanity’s most useful tools

We can walk to the other side
One by one, our minds open wide
A better money - a better way
Walk to the other side today

Walk to the other system now
Feel the freedom it allows
Leave the distorted money scheme
And join the secure Bitcoin stream

When you walk to the other side
Help others cross - as humble guide
Pave the path and improve the way
Use patience in what you do and say

Our money will only stick around
With a money system truly sound
So walk to the other side with me
That we and our children can be free

While I’m living - I want to be blessed
Gonna use the ledger that’s the best
All my days until I die
I’m gonna use the ledger in the sky

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

Prepare yourself - you know it's a must
Gotta use the money you trust
So that you can certify
And trade and sell and HODL
With the ledger in the sky

Oh, 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
