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.
