The Bitcoin paper, a technical feat,
A system so new, its aim to beat.
A currency digital, decentralized and free,
A protocol so strong, for all to see.
A network of nodes, each with a role,
A consensus so hard, to keep it whole.
The blockchain, the ledger, so public and clear,
A chain of blocks, with data so near.
Each block so hashed, with a proof-of-work,
The puzzle to solve, a miner's perk.
The nonce, so random, to find the right key,
The hash so strong, for security.
While hash > target, the nonce must increase,
A miner’s quest, to solve with ease.
Hashing block and nonce, with SHA-256 twice,
The hash so strong, to protect from vice.
Transactions, inputs, and outputs to show,
A script so smart, for logic to flow.
Signatures to sign, to spend with ease,
Verification to check, to prevent a seize.
Using OP_CODES to script and spend,
A protocol so robust, with security to defend.
Hashing and signing, with keys so right,
A system so strong, for transactions so tight.
The limit was set, twenty-one million in store,
The inflation so low, a feature to adore.
Each coin so divisible, to many decimals to break,
A unit so small, a Satoshi to make.
With MAX_COINS and SATOSHIS_PER_COIN,
A system so sound, its value to enshrine.
A trustless system, so hard to hack,
A protocol so secure, for money to track.
The code so open, for all to use,
A system so transparent, with no abuse.
A protocol so strong, a story so told,
A currency digital, its place to hold.
