Book of Poetry II – Proverbs of ₿

Wisdom Upon the Blockchain


Satire and commentary: names and likenesses are used for parody, and nothing here is a statement of fact about real people. Sourced facts are in the sections below.

1
He who chases pumps watches charts,
But he who HODLs reads whitepapers.

2
He who has much is not rich,
But he who holds the key is the true owner.

3
The greatest gain is not 10x profit,
But peace in stacking one block a day.

4
A short panic-sell brings regret,
But long belief brings wealth.

5

“Not your keys, not your coins.”
This is the first commandment of Satoshi.

6
The greedy buy 100 altcoins,
But the wise protect one ₿.

7
He who follows DeFi shall meet bugs and hacks,
But he who loves on-chain shall rest in decentralization’s peace.

8
Many cry out for ETFs,
But true faith lies
In never forgetting your cold wallet’s 24 words.

9
Price may change,
But Satoshi’s philosophy is unshaken.

10
He who seeks quick profits may win the short run,
But he who believes long shall be the victor of history.

Bitcoin is purer than gold,
And its blocks more valuable than silver.

In plain words: what this means
