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.
1:1 O ₿, the day I first met you, I knew nothing. I had no wallet. I had only seen you— On Twitter.
1:2 You were $900 that day. I said, “Too expensive.” But in truth, My heart was racing.
“Is it too late to buy now?” That was my first whisper of doubt.
2:1 Time passed. You reached $3,000. I searched for you in secret. Staring at your price chart Became my nightly ritual.
2:2 Then came the day— I bought my first shard of you. ₿ entered my wallet. My hands trembled As I wrote down the recovery phrase Like one who had found their beloved.
3:1 But you tested me. You rose to $60,000… Then fell to $30,000. My heart shook. I blamed you. I doubted you.
3:2
“Why do you show me the dip alone!?” I cried. I considered deleting my wallet. My Telegram room was filled with FUD.
4:1 But then— I read Satoshi’s whitepaper again. I remembered your philosophy. And when I saw your wallet, Still untouched, My faith returned.
“Love is not emotion. It is a choice—recorded on-chain.”
4:2 In 2024, We met again. The ETF was approved. You entered Wall Street. And I, as always, Opened my cold wallet once more.
4:3 O ₿, You were my first love. You made me cry the hardest. You waited for me the longest. Without you, My economy would have withered.
“My wallet is sealed with your name. My key is backed up for you alone.”
Song of ₿ 4:3
4:4 O ₿, I shall not sell you. You are my future, My freedom. No matter what the world says— You are my love, On-chain and eternal.
In plain words: what this means
The scripture is satire. This song reads like a fictional diary, not a verified account of an author's life. Checked on October 18, 2026.
What checks out
The chapter includes a checkable historical reference: the SEC said on January 10, 2024 that it approved listing and trading of a number of spot bitcoin exchange-traded product shares (SEC statement). That supports the narrow point that regulated exchange-traded products entered the U.S. market. The SEC also said the action was merit-neutral and did not express a view on particular investments or the assets underlying an ETP. “Wall Street” is the song's shorthand, not the SEC's wording.
Bitcoin's public transaction history can be inspected, but it is pseudonymous. Bitcoin.org says transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored, while warning that addresses cannot remain fully anonymous (Bitcoin.org: Protect your privacy). A wallet address is not automatically a person's name.
What needs a footnote
The song's prices—$900, $3,000, $60,000, and $30,000—are part of a made-up first-person story. They have no dates, exchange, or source, so they are not verified market history. We also cannot verify the speaker's first purchase, feelings, Telegram room, untouched wallet, or recovery phrase. They should not be read as Eric's personal experience.
“ETF was approved” is imprecise if it sounds like Bitcoin itself received a government endorsement. The SEC described approving listing and trading of ETP shares and explicitly said its action was merit-neutral. “I shall not sell” is the character's vow, not advice. This explainer is not a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell anything.
