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?   Cheesy

Jeopardy Pirate Haiku:

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

   Wink


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.   Grin

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


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

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

Hashing to defend

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

Still around.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.

Transactions echo
In unison
In the fans - dust.

They're there, in their room.
Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.

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

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

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.
