The cryptocurrency industry,
Is it going boom or bust?
Is it just a wise investment,
Or is it Mammon’s lust?
–
Novices look for an overview,
Maybe never understood.
A crypto river quietly flowing,
The way paper never could.
–
Are we sure it’s in its infancy,
With its lack of centralization?
All that loot is securely stashed,
With understandable hesitation.
–
The power to print money is under threat
For the ether, we give thanks.
No more endless small print!
Did we ever trust the banks?
–
Is it a different kind of trade,
That is done without the frills?
Does a crypto wallet
Really let you pay your bills?
–
There’s a kind of crypto rush,
With a matching history with gold.
The miners take up their crypto tools;
Better than cash we’re told.
–
The whole mind-boggling nature of it,
May be new to some.
A turning point in world history?
We’ll know in time to come.
–
A biting of lips, as bitcoin dips.
You may well lose it all,
And you may well say you had some fun,
Should you see it stall.
–
The coin is only ever worth
Whatever a coin is worth,
Leading either to Utopia
Or a financial Hell on earth!
–
As for the overall wisdom of it,
Uncertain, it should be said,
But remember, Confucius, he say,
Bitcoin? Get in there Ned!
