about

This one came to me soon after I had my first, super-detailed, explanation of how the Bitcoin blockchain works. Listeners without the benefit of such an education may like to look up what a "merkle tree" is, but knowing nothing about the technology ought not to detract from your enjoyment of the song.

lyrics

Got the blockchain blues, blockchain blues
I'm through with cryptocurrencies
Blockchain blues, blockchain blues
Cos my baby stole my private keys
My dreams of getting rich are bust as soon as I think 'em
I just can't wait for Universal Basic Income.
Got the blockchain blues, those blockchain blues
Left me here in misery,
Got no satoshi,
Left me here in misery

Got the blockchain blues, and you would too
If your baby stole your private keys
Blockchain blues, here is the news
She's messin' with my merkle trees
I shoulda got a clue, just what she was up ta
When I caught her playing D & D with Vinay Gupta
I got the blockchain blues, the blockchain blues
Baby's left me out in the rain
I ain't kidding
Bitcoin rollin' round in my brain.

I mine all night just to keep from sleeping
Sleep all day just to keep from weeping
Got the blockchain blues,the blockchain blues
Facing lifelong penury
I ain’t lying
Buddy, can you spare that NFT?
