Topic: My bitcoin song: He gave us change (dedicated to Satoshi Nakamoto) (Read 1612 times)

this ^^

This is more like a praise or a way to thank satosh for the change he has brought us. It's not a promotional of any kind although it has the potential to be. I personally believe Silk Road is great proof that bitcoin is the change it was made to be and that even if you don't like it, bitcoin enables such businesses to operate, and that is a very big part of the attraction and why it will become successful imo. We should embrace it.

The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts. While I don't believe Satoshi ever stated his ideology in public he initiated changes not through aggression, but rather through peaceful innovation. His creation is the ultimate tool for the liberty minded people, I believe these where the actions of an voluntarist.

He left a few clues, not enough to confirm anything, but it can perhaps add to the belief that he was/is indeed a freedom lover:
“Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.”
“Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own.”
“It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly. I'm better with code than with words though.”
“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”

The message of the song is that real change doesn't come from politicians and legislation (they've been talking about change), it comes from innovation, people who dare stand out and make something new, a difference, people like satoshi.

As for fight of his life, he created one of the most important things in human history and have to hide for the rest of his life, never revealing who is behind this beautiful creation. To make something this wonderful and never take a single credit to me shows some very strong determination/fight for true beliefs. And even though he may claim to have "moved on" I think bitcoin remains a very important part of his life.

But then again, it's just a song, something I had made for fun. You can interpret the song in any way you like. This is just my look/opinion of satoshi.

Matthew, is that you?

Didn't read the comments, but listened and have the following comments:

1) catchy tune

2) first listen, I didn't really realize it was about bitcoin (had it on background while working)

3) second listen, picked up on the fact that bitcoin was being repeated over and over later in the song (good subliminal messaging)

4) third listen, I approve; however, don't really enjoy anytime I hear silk road.  I guess we have to acknowledge Silk Road's existence, but I'd rather exclude it from promotional information (which I'm assuming is what this song is).

Is there evidence that Satoshi was a "voluntaryist"? Also as I understood, Satoshi stated that he isn't working on bitcoin anymore, and has moved to other projects, therefore Bitcoin isn't the "fight of his life".

But other than that, nice song.

Lyrics:
Just a voluntaryist guy working late in the night.
Looking for the fight of his life.

In the real time world nobody sees him at all, they all think he's crazy

Coding c and crypto to the beat of his heart, changing moments into lines.

He releases the source code and off he goes to never be seen again.

They've been talking about change
Saying things will be all fine

All the while some guy has made it on his own

He's a maniac, maniac, in this world
And he gave us change we never seen before.

He's a maniac, maniac, in this world
And he gave us change we never seen before.

(crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy)

There's a special kind of insanity in a place most never see
It's a strong belief in cryptography, the power can't fold it

You can laugh, say it's lame; an utopian dream
You are "sane" if you don't believe

It's distinct from this world but that makes it that change
that we have been waiting for.

There's alpaca socks and 'gox
silk road selling various rocks
never stop believing, freedom will shine through

He's a maniac, maniac, in this world
And he gave us change we never seen before.

He's a maniac, maniac, in this world
And he gave us change we never seen before.

bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin, coooooiiinnns
bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin, coooooiiinnns

They've been talking about change
Saying things will be all fine

All the while some guy has made it on his own

He's a maniac, maniac, in this world
And he gave us change we never seen before.

He's a maniac, maniac, in this world
And he gave us change we never seen before.
