Bitcoin Power and the Uncensorable Cloud – A New Ode to Crypto Predicts the Return of Retail Investors in 2019
In an epic ode to crypto, Ben from Los Angeles penned a glittering summation of the state of the market in verse, with plenty of wordplay and analysis of market psychology, the behavior of traders, the future of adoption and the strength of Bitcoin.
He made the submission to Laura Shin for her weekly podcast Unchained which covers trends, insights and interviews on blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Published on New Year’s Day 2019, Ben delivers a telling narrative.
Bitcoin Power and the Uncensorable Cloud
Ben from Los Angeles, I amA devout fan of the great Laura Shin
Amid the hype of Wall Street shillsAnd the FUDing officials of Capitol HillYou’ve kept your listeners abundantly thrilled
Pedaling through toxic, masculine ego sludgeYou help educate us all to be our own judge
Of all the characters and clownsWhose pissing contests make the charts go up and downYour sober and unwavering commitment to the techProvides a calm and meditative effect
It’s like a yoga class for my earsHearing you describe the sprockets and gears
Decoding the elaborate mysteries of the crypto spaceEnlightening us to every legitimate use case
Never too timid to stick it to the ManAlways open-minded to the crypto-anarchist revolution
Critiques rooted in deep financial wisdomEmbodying the truth and fairness of the Divine Feminine
I’m code illiterate and only a wannabee geekBut your podcasts are still the highlights of my week
Hashtag #notinvestmentadviceBut I tell friends and acquaintances alikeIf you want the best scoop on What’s What and Who’s WhoInvest your time getting schooled
With Unconfirmed and UnchainedI promise you won’t be fooled
As for what I expect in 2019I’ll bet a lot of bad actors will be forced to come clean
Weak hands and bleak scams will be shaken outIn bankruptcy courts, many a startup CEO will pout
Side chains, state channels and lightning networks will flowSecurity tokens, in-game assets and virtual worlds will grow
Heroic dark web warriors will dissolve digital bordersPrivacy coins will protect journalists and dissidentsFrom the tyranny of corporate, fascist iron fists
Retail investors will once again stampedeFrenzied by the fear of missing out and greed
Institutional money will buy bigger slices of the pieA new one percent will bribe regulators to comply
Maximalists will bet on which chains might fallTraders will get wrecked in short squeezes and margin calls
Math-archist uprisings will bring corrupt nation states to their kneesRioting protestors will post QR codes, selfies
If you ask me what really matters mostIs honoring what may be our dear beloved Sathoshi’s ghost
I’ll keep fighting to make her proudBy sending peer-to-peer transactions through the uncensorable cloud
Using electronic cash that will always be trustworthy and sound
