A lifetime of code poured out of his mind

The nodes would all talk, the transactions be signed

The problems were beat, the byzantine was defeated

Where no one could cheat, no transaction repeated

Every fiber and chunk proved the future was here

It was cyber and punk said the proud engineer

Since the hackers and cynics attack all things as vapor

He became an academic and wrote up a White Paper

"Very promising" one said,

"Does not work" another cried

Who was this Satoshi, can't work, it's been tried!

So he sent out some files so they could all read

That Bitcoin was real and that it came from the feed

Some tweaking and fixing made it ready to sync

3 Jan set it off, it was all on the brink

Science fiction turned real, there was even a Finn

An eight-day wait all the same just to go and jack in

And from the J block arose a Home F-T-P

He looked at the clock as they went from point A to point B

Thank you pal, thank you Hal, old Satoshi did say

Then he called up his mom,

"Oh Happy Birthday”
