I explain how a nation’s unlikely to survive Without a strong central government to keep it alive, When I launched the central bank, Jefferson called me ill, Now you have my face to thank on every ten dollar-bill. When America was cash-strapped, I pushed past that, Now some sicko makes crypto and our nation backtracks? [SATOSHI] Decentralized currency. Yes, I invented it. I’m sure many governments wish they had prevented it Their national cash is how they keep control, But freedom to the people was my ultimate goal. Am I a pseudonym? A group of men? It doesn’t even matter. I invented Bitcoin cause fiat is a disaster. A man from Japan or a damn hologram? I’m the reason open season on crypto began. [H] Does anybody know what this crypto-thing means? To me, sounds like the new Get Broke Quick scheme, A bunch of fools from across the land Investing in something they don’t even understand, Buying Litecoin, Dash, Bitcoin Cash, It’s all gonna crash, and be gone in a flash. All this unsupported money’s an irrational prank, And I’ll be laughing all the way to my National Bank. [S] Hahahahahah, yeah dude, super funny, As if banks these days still helped people make money. The rich get richer and we follow like we’re all sheep, The banks serve Wall Street, crypto serves all streets, The interest in crypto’s on rapid ascent What’s your current interest? Half a percent? I’m sorry, the bank’s gone past its peak But I want info encrypted, not hacked and leaked. [H] If this crypto system will be our salvation, It needs to be centralized, needs regulation. If our central database gets… how you say, “hacked?” Insurance will just make a case to get your money back. ‘Cause in fact, it’s tracked, and the money leaves a trail. Central currency is strong, cryptocurrency is frail. Untraceable money — wow, so clever. One typo in your address? Now it’s gone forever...
