In cipher's weave, a coin takes stage—Bitcoin its name,

Cryptographic sonnets sealing ledger's claim.

O miners, ply your hash, seek nonce's grace,

Chain blocks in trust, no central throne embrace.

P2P in pulse, no sovereign needs apply,

Yet caution—markets surge, where avarice lies.

In bytes and hashes, mortals stake their plea,

A tale succinct, yet vast, in blockchain's sea.
