A Bitcoin Protest Poem.

All words in this piece were used from @IamTheCharacter’s BLM protest video on Twitter. I’m not a poet, but I was inspired by Eric aka The Character to write this using his words.

The elites of this country
use the financial system to oppress us
With our own money,
with our dollars, they are killin us

That is absurd.

There is a new financial system
that I want to present to you.
This system is called Bitcoin.
It was created for this very purpose.

All you need is a phone
and the elites do not have control.

This system is called Bitcoin.
condolences to our dollars

It was created for this very purpose.
My condolences, to the elites, who can not bail out their friends anymore.

Bitcoin was created
for this very purpose.
Youtube my brother,
Andreas Antonopolous

Yes the system is rigged – that is absurd.

It warms my heart
and means a lot to me.
Black Lives Matter,
until we free!

These are my macro ideas.
Look Andreas up.
to get the micro details.
Antonopolous.

With Bitcoin – we will no longer let the elites kill us with our own money

With Bitcoin – they can not use the financial system to oppress

With Bitcoin – well have common goals

With Bitcoin – they can not turn on the printing press

Bitcoin was created, we all have common goals.
My condolences, to the elites, who lost control.

Another strategy of the elites is to divide us.
If we have the time, please lets volunteer
We need to not be strangers.
We need to know who each other are.

Yes the system is rigged
Their system is rigged
Their system is absurd.

This new system is called Bitcoin
It was created for this very purpose.

I got some ideas on how
we all more forward,
This system is called Bitcoin
We all have common goals

My condolences, to the elites, who lost control.

I wanna present an alternative financial solution – to everyone today
run up to me and call me coach
learn about the system
We need to not be strangers
Please lets volunteer

All you need is a phone and we can all have Bitcoin.
The system is rigged and that is absurd.
My condolences, to the elites, who lost control.
It’s the warmest feeling in the world.

like I said

Black lives matter,
until we free!

If only an hour, or 5 dollars and common goals,
a phone, Bitcoin, and the elites do not have control.

like I said

Black lives matter,
until we free!

The elites can run up to me and can call me coach.

It warms my heart
and means a lot to me.
Black Lives Matter,
until we free!

My first solution — Bitcoin is our new money.
My second point — volunteer in your community.
My third point —do not ignore the ballot box.

Black Lives Matter
and mean a lot to me.
put their feet to the fire
until we free!

Original transcript of the 2 videos:

My condolences, to all the families, who lost they love ones
I got some ideas on how we all move forward
I got 3 points I’d like to present to y’all
these are my macro ideas, we’re gonna need people for the micro ideas
to get the finer details

My first solution
I wanna present an alternative financial solution – to everyone today
The elites of this country (and globally) use the financial system to oppress us.They are killing us with our own money.

There is a new financial system that I want to present to you, that’s open to everyone.
All you need is a phone (to start usin’ it.)
I want everyone to please start learning about a new financial system.
This system is called Bitcoin.
It was created for this very purpose.
So the elites do not have control over the financial system anymore.

With Bitcoin they can not turn on the printing press & give our dollars to their friends.
For bailing them out, because they weren’t being responsible.
You can not bail people out.
The elites can not bail out their friends, anymore.

Please learn about this system.
This system is called – Bitcoin.
It was created for this very purpose.

A great resource is a man named Andreas Antonopolous.
You can look him up on Youtube.
Please learn & support this system.

You don’t have to put all your money into it.
Like my brother said earlier.
You can put weekly, $5.

We will no longer let the elites kill us with our own money.
That is absurd.

My second point.
We need to – If we aren’t already – to volunteer in our local communities.
If only an hour, at your local community center.
It means a lot to these kids to see your face, to see that they care.
I volunteered with my local youth center in echo park and I can tell you, I got more from it than they did.

It warms my heart to walk in the grocery store & kids run up to me and call me coach.
It’s the warmest feeling in the world.
So please, if we have the time, please lets volunteer.
Because another strategy of the elites is to divide us.

We all have common goals & purposes.
And we need to know who each other are
We need to not be strangers
Lets get in our community.

My third point is to not ignore the ballot box.
Yes the system is rigged.
Lets put someone in there who at least we can put their feet to the fire.
Lets not ignore the ballot box.

Black Lives Matter
Until we free!
