Builders Vs Looters - Bitcoin Poem 044

Refrain from playing the looter
Or the parasite who takes
But always remain a builder
And known as one who makes

Yes build your life, proud and true
This is the Bitcoin way 
Though looters claim we owe them
As Ayn Rand used to say

The looters count on Atlas…
That he’ll hold the world in place
But one day he will simply shrug
And the world will fall through space

Stand a maker, not a looter
Though the looters grow in size
Yes, swear by your love of life
That looting you’ll despise

Resist the urge for easy life
Prove strong as a woman or man 
For either you’re a looter 
Or you build everything you can

Our hands work and our minds conceive
And freely with others we trade
And let’s convert some looters
And end the looting charade

Money Is Power - Bitcoin Poem 001

We know that money is power
And has been all along 
But now in Bitcoin’s hour
Our money is fully strong

No inflation from dilution 
All value it retains
A useful grand solution
To safely grow our gains

Birthed by light from solar waves
Encrypted crystal backing
True ownership - its ledger saves
Every detail tracking

Bitcoin builds a “cross world” trust
Forming firm foundations 
For making, trading, holding wealth
For people, groups, and nations

Walk To the Other Side - Bitcoin Poem 004

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

War - Bitcoin Poem 047

The United States sustains their forever
   Wars because it’s easy to borrow capital 
      It’s easy to borrow as the Federal Reserve 
         Literally prints money in Quantitative Easing
            And keeps the interest rate forcibly very low
               This allows billions to flow to forever wars 
                  Therefore
               If we let the market determine interest rates
            And if we move to a hard money standard
         Such as Bitcoin, with an immutable supply
      Then unpopular or unproductive wars are
   Much harder for governments to sustain
Leading to more safety and more peace

Bitcoin Keeps On Thriving - Bitcoin Poem 050

Bitcoin’s growing every day
With fiat inflation on display 
Own your money - come what may 
As Bitcoin keeps on thriving

Officials saying “all is fine”
Printing money by design
Cutting down our bottom line
As Bitcoin keeps on thriving

You can learn it, take some time
Bitcoin’s young and in its prime
Yet every cycle it will climb
As Bitcoin keeps on thriving

Worth and value it retains
Unlike fiat money drains
The choice is very clear & plain
As Bitcoin keeps on thriving

Wealth Gap - Bitcoin Poem 046

When fiat money is printed freely
   Certain groups benefit more than others
      Wealthy people who hold assets tend to
         Reap the benefits as their assets increase
            In proportion to the new money, while those
               Who rely on fixed incomes or savings lose
                  Much of their purchasing power and wealth
                     Therefore
                  We need a money where people can trust
               That their money will retain or increase in
            Value and purchasing power.  This money
         Will help the poor save with confidence
      For themselves and also their children
   Leading to a brighter future for every
Person, when saving with Bitcoin

Bitcoin Every Day - Bitcoin Poem 052

Every single passing day
Bitcoin’s stronger, come what may 
You can join us, come along
Join the stable money throng 

Every day, transactions sent
Bitcoin saved, or bitcoin spent
Every day now, someone new
Moves to Bitcoin - could be you

Start in easy, start in slow
Once begun, you’ll see it grow
Every day, just learn some more
Bitcoin opens freedom's door

Stack your bitcoin, every day
Start right now & don’t delay
Get out from inflation’s hold
Come and join the Bitcoin fold

Orange Vs Green - Bitcoin Poem 053

Battle not for red and blue
They’re both the same machine
The real choice that’s coming up
Is orange versus green

Bitcoin holds your value well
Come join the Bitcoin scene
Skip inflation’s stealthy theft
Choose orange versus green

From Iceland to Australia 
And countries in between
People are awakening
To orange versus green

Money made by central banks
With printing that’s obscene
You can pick another way
Choose orange versus green

Break free from your assumptions
And question your routine
For everyone can benefit 
From orange over green

Money that is only made
When banksters do convene
Is money that is broken
Choose orange over green

Seigniorage - Bitcoin Poem 051 - Problems and Solutions Series 13

Seigniorage refers to the profits
   A government earns by creating and
      Issuing new currency for a nation, but
         The seigniorage benefits those in power
            Who receive the new money first via the 
               Cantillon effect. Specifically, the Federal 
                  Reserve, the US Treasury, & large banks
                     Therefore 
                  In order to foster more equality in finance
               We can move to a decentralized currency 
            In the Bitcoin network the profits earned 
         From creating new bitcoin are given out 
      To those who work maintaining and 
   Securing the network, rather than to 
Any centralized person or group

Out of Thin Air - Bitcoin Poem 054

“We are the US government”
We can print out of thin air
Mister Sherman says aloud
Which should be quite a scare

But yet he says of Bitcoin
(Amazing that he can dare)
That bitcoin isn’t valuable 
But created from thin air

Bitcoin has a cost to make
A cost that can’t compare
To fiat’s cheap and easy flow
Debasing the saver’s share

Thank you Mister Sherman
For making us all aware 
Of your Cantillon privilege 
Printing money from thin air

Study what a bitcoin costs
To make one - with work & care
And you’ll see Bitcoin’s value
Come join and get a share

Thank you Mister Sherman
For helping us to prepare 
As our dollars get debased
Since they’re printed from thin air
