Can you explain Bitcoin concisely enough to fit in a limerick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry)) (5, 10, or 15 lines...the shorter the better)?

Here's my first attempt. I'm happy with it except that the last line doesn't fit the required AABBA rhyme (but it tries!).

Bitcoins are digital cash  
Transferred worldwide in a flash  
  Just don't lose your keys  
  Or they're gone in the breeze  
'Cause they're controlled by all of us[h]

Edit: at first, I had
Bitcoin is digital cash  
Transferred worldwide in a flash  
  Just don't lose your keys  
  Or it's gone in the breeze  
For it's controlled by all (or none, depending on your view)

"Bitcoin" instead of "A Bitcoin" could mean plural.  Change the "it's" to "they're"  ?

(no suggestions for your last line, sorry)

Here's my take:

There once was a man named Satoshi
He made some bits you could host free
So pass them around, all over town,
and now you've got a new form of money.

I carefully backed up my keys
To ensure I could pay for the freeze.
  Cryogenics it's true!
  To the future I flew!
That'll be thirty million doge please. :(

Bitcoin is going to shoot to the moon
It is going to do that very soon
All the bear whales who try to push the price down
Will end up looking like digital clowns.

For it's controlled by nobody... (just my view)

In Bitcoin world
It's common for price up ten fold
Truth be told
It is good as gold
Makes the paper money feel cold

How's that? Lol

Barking at the Bar King

A dog was barking
at the Bar King
There was no bitcoin
at that time
A man was talking
about banking
And the King was biting
his gold coins.
Then bitcoin was invented
and the dog bit its tail!
