The Value of Things

*(A Journey from Physical to Digital)*

Value of an asset, divided by cost,  
In a world where wealth is constantly lost.  
Inflation creeps, deluding worth,  
Financial assets, tethered to earth.

Income tax grows with every gain,  
The more you earn, the more you sustain.  
But frustration brews, the chase grows thin,  
And people seek what lies within.

A Ferrari gleams, but costs too high,  
A house of dreams, yet funds run dry.  
For physical wealth will fade, it seems,  
As entropy drains our finest dreams.

Energy prices rising high,  
Physical assets, doomed to die.  
But what if there’s a way to flee,  
A digital path to set us free?

Satoshi saw a world of light,  
In Bitcoin’s birth, he found the fight.  
From physical chains to digital skies,  
Where wealth endures and never dies.

Infinite lifespan, beyond decay,  
Bitcoin lives where time won’t sway.  
No inflation can bring it down,  
It wears a digital crown.

Trade wisely, shift from dust to code,  
From currency to capital’s road.  
From temporary to timeless flow,  
Where wealth in Bitcoin starts to grow.

Digital capital, infinite life,  
Not bound by inflation's strife.  
Self-custody, or AI’s care,  
Bitcoin's legacy everywhere.

Trade local for global, physical for free,  
Trade what’s fleeting for eternity.  
Satoshi’s wisdom, echoed today,  
"Get some now, before it’s too late to sway."

For physical assets crumble and bend,  
But digital wealth will never end.  
The first to see, the first to rise,  
Shall win the future before our eyes.

Wealth reallocated, a nation’s prize,  
Bitcoin’s path under endless skies.  
Print paper? No—buy what’s true,  
A currency for the world, brand new.

The game has changed, a future untold,  
Trade your dollars, your gold grown old.  
For what lies ahead is clear to see—  
In Bitcoin’s realm, we are truly free.
