Bitcoin Forum

Satoshi dice roll,
All my coin is gone, gone, gone.
The blockchain has grown.

I am a poor man.
Yesterday I was wealthy.
Don't send coin when drunk.

I send the bitcoin,
the address has no label,
received with no name.

.羽生へて銭がとぶ也としの暮
hane haete zeni ga tobu nari toshi no kure

my money sprouted wings
and flew away...
the year ends

  - Issa (1816)

What's new with Bitcoin?
Scams, hacks, and controversy
Yet the code endures

Lovely.


"fuck flattery success money
all I do is lie back and suck my thumb"

-Ikkyu, 15th century

my name is burntsnow
who here thinks i'm a douchebag?
please vote in my poll

Thieves, liars and crooks,
none are worth a lead penny,
not one satoshi.

I am Infidel
I sell silver and gold coins
for just the right price

An information
now monetized, transmitted.
Bet net can stay up.

the old bitcoin pool
an excited noob jumps in
the high sound of fans

( Basho inspired. gassho ) 

Newbie time is some
five hours of posting something.
This is killing time.

If you read this screed,
first to post your address gets
million satoshis.

On the way.

A Bitcoin haiku
would have been the better post
than what you did there.

his post "on the way"
was perfectly cromulent
embiggens this thread

"Cromulent" you say?
Verbosity becomes you,
forum acquaintance.

received some bitcents
i dont know who they came from...
happens all the time

Fear? Uncertainty?
And dare I even say: Doubt?
FUD found everywhere.

In the excitement
at having made connection
I lost the haiku.

Last night... I don't watch much tv but I heard it on in the other room.  The American game show Jeopardy was on ( it might've been a rerun ).
It had a category called "Pirate Haiku" ...  hmm...   coincidence or synchronicity?   :D   

Portnoy, you're not trying...
Jeopardy Pirate Haiku:
a coincidence?

count the syl-la-bles,
will you, in the word "try-ing".
proper haiku form?

   ;)


besides, proper haiku usually has references to the current season and to nature, especially as it is viewed from a Zen ( in-the-moment ) perspective.   ;D

For example I was going to get some help from Buson (1716 – 1783) to offer this timeless reply to Severian:


Short summer night.
A dewdrop
On the back of a hairy caterpillar

   ;D

I posted this before:

Hashing to defend
A network of truth that guards
Liberty my love.

Seeking quiet calm
in the recent drama storm
I miscount (facepalm)

Those strident pirates
Sailing the digital waves
Plundering our funds

Transactions echo
In unison
In the fans - dust.

Sunshine on the face
to find a haiku lover
that uses bitcoin.

: )

Haikus were a cruel way of Japanese elders to test the young. Just wanted to say that.

Dust in my pocket
Then Satoshi came along
Numbers in my head

Bitcoin ( with an attempt at a Blyth-like Zen commentary )

Above noisy street
where people fumble and fret
the orange August moon

Nature is indifferent to the shallow concerns of man but also inspires his most virtuous thoughts and invention, when he is able to look beyond 'self'.
It is possible to translate the name Satoshi Nakamoto as 'he who lives in the center of wisdom'; in touch with nature and his own true nature,
where no true separation exists. Bitcoin can be like any-thing, another cause for argument and strife. But at the same time a potential tool, like
any-thing, of, and for, freedom. Freedom isn't fought for and won (seized). One merely opens their eyes and recognizes that it has been there all
along for one's choosing.
