Tick, tock,
About every ten minutes a new block is born,
Carrying varying numbers of transactions, as a puzzle gets solved,
The voice spreads out that the new block’s been verified,
Confirmations of truth, at least 6 that we want,
Nothing as true as timechain math.
The ledger gets longer and hence more secure,
Some people still yell, “TOO MUCH ENERGY!”
Using energy, as they yell.
Yet, miners look far and wide for energy lost,
From wasteful processes,
From sustainable natural sources,
The only way to get energy at the lowest of costs.
No need to use energy at the peak of times,
No need to carry it very far,
All this talk about energy only distracts from the why:
Solving a puzzle makes math on Bitcoin Layer 1 what we trust,
No agenda, nor bias, nor power to control,
No corrupt heart to change the rules and take loot,
Bitcoin is a tool anyone could use.
As long as you HODL your keys, there’s something else you have too,
Something you can remember as the halving comes through,
Bitcoin is limited, as long as you have the keys to the source,
Only 21 million to mine, no more printer go brrr.
Tick, tock.
Tick, tock.
Proof of work, the halving has come,
We’re past the 840,000 blocks,
Another four years of proof of work.
The amount of new bitcoin to make on each block,
Has just been cut in half,
3.125, 3.125.
Transactions continue on every block,
As you and I send bitcoin across the globe.
Bull or bear, the blocks come every ten minutes or so,
PoW on a freedomchain we trust.
No more printer go brrr,
No more printer go brrr,
What is your time worth?
