# Bitcoin Is Poetry

The first time I saw Shakespeare's sonnet's I fell in love.

I was awestruck by the smelting of English and math.

Each line's a beat box of binary iambic pentameter.

Building rhythm and rhymes out of metaphors and alliteration.

The last lines chiseled by indentation.

The first time I saw HTML, I fell in love because it reminded me of poetry.

The first time I saw how hashcash was used in #bitcoin, I fell in love with a new kind of poetry.

Shake-speare was a gematria enjoyer as well. So even more math.

His sonnets are arranged in a chiasm with multiple chiasms hidden within that chiasm.

This is so cool! I've never heard the word gematria before.

👀

From my brief Wikepedia research, it appears BIP 39 seed words are Genatria. Is that correct?

Every word has a gematria sum. Shake-speare’s works and pen name have a lot of gematria self-references and hidden clues as to the nature of the works.
