Indeed, not the usual way of educating. And introducing the song as "a story to tell about a crypto investment" might not be the best way to present Bitcoin. As a matter of fact, that's actually a challenge as far as Bitcoin education is concerned. Many of those who recently joined the community are probably treating Bitcoin as a mere investment and nothing else.

Bitcoin has many utility, more than investment but education on Bitcoin can be about many thing, including investment.

Two educational resources to start
The bullish case for Bitcoin
Bitcoin for everybody

Also, Bitcoin isn't free.

There is no free lunch and it makes sense that there is no free bitcoin when its adoption is already big enough. There were Bitcoin faucets to claim bitcoin for free with big amount, but now that time gone.

Although there was an 70 years old man release few raps about Bitcoin, but the viewers are less than 100K https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinMusic

I like that video made with AI, the image transitions are really smooth, but the rap wasn't my favorite, i understand OP's point, this is another way to explain Bitcoin to the world, but i don't feel like people will save this song and play it again and again.

There is a lot to teach and you can't put all that information in a single song, maybe a full album called cryptos would do the magic Wink

This is dope @OP, I really like the lyric and the beat.

We just lack of a popular rapper that want to cover the song, because you know, Bitcoin isn't a business which can fund someone to grow their brands.

It's quite catchy, got me hooked up to see how it ends.
Though there's no way a few minutes video can really educate one, It does highlights some important basics.

A few minutes audio or video can make you research about it if it's catchy.
There are things or phrases I've heard in music or movies/videos that have made me research about it and has led me to know more about it. Some historical people I know about, I heard about they first in song, but I researcher and knew more. So a few minutes of video might not give you the full details, but all it needs to do is to be catchy and the person might be interested to know about it and he'll ask questions.
Ads are about 30 seconds to 1 minute long, but they have major impact. All that is needed is for the key features of the stuff to be mentioned and get the interest of the target audience.

Hey everyone! You’ve probably seen Michael Saylor’s awesome presentation, "Bitcoin: There Is No Second Best". Ever thought about how that kind of content would vibe as a hip-hop track (East Coast style)? Well, wonder no more...

It's not the usual way of educating about BTC by smart heads talking for hours. What do you think?

I don't know but I think we have heard songs about Bitcoin many times already, including rap.

But I do like the lyrics though, it's catchy and perhaps the song writer is really into Bitcoin and then he blend it with a full hip hop melody and that's it. I will try to search for more songs about BTC though and see how long it has been.

It might not be the usual way of educating about Bitcoin, but still it's very short and we can understand it very clearly.

It sounds cool, but nobody is going to take it as investment advice when someone is rapping it. They just enjoy the music. And I think that's better that way.

Now let's rub our hands together and wait for the next generation of rappers to diss other rappers because they didn't buy any crypto during the Golden Age of Bull Runs (aka. 2014 - 2024).

The rappers can brag with how many bitcoins is in their wallet soon just like they talk about their cars and flamboyant lifestyles. Because down here in my country our local musicians are already using it to tell us how wealthy they are.

Bitcoin will soon be on the lips of a lot of people who didn't invest in it because they can resist to say it.

Michael Saylor in some interviews, in 2024, said that "Bitcoin is the end game". I can not find his original tweets or interviews, but let's see this one first.

Bitcoin Magazine quoted his saying

Quote

Michael Saylor after buying over 200,000 $BTC:

"The endgame is to acquire more #Bitcoin. Whoever gets the most Bitcoin wins." 👏

It is another version of what you shared "Bitcoin: there is no second best". There is one end game, it's Bitcoin.

Funny how people practice what they listen to especially youths.
So who knows, if it becomes something people talk about like sex and drugs.
