Someone keeps posting short poem to the Bitcoin blockchain

[greysonz]

On-chain observers noticed a mysterious poem that someone has already published 26 times in two weeks:

"Thoughtless quartz clocks drift, while blocks stack, each a strict proof, the timechain keeps score."

Each copy is 100 bytes of text in a 103-byte OP_RETURN, over the old 83-byte relay limit. All 26 are byte-identical, built the same way: 1 sat/vB, RBF, anti-fee-sniping locktime, 72-byte sigs (not Core's wallet).

Galaxy Research monitors the balance: the sender has 0.327 BTC ($26k). He constantly sends it to one custodial service along with a poem. The service returns exactly the same amount a few hours later. The sender deposits it again. There have already been 14 round trips: 5.22 BTC in turnover for 0.327 BTC in capital.

I think it looks like an AI agent at work. But who knows?

Interesting. How do you explain that?

A crypto cryptographic message.

That's someone who understands how to use the limited space via op_return to send a message, perhaps it's just pure intent or it could be they are communicating with someone else, but whatever the case, it is a wonder to see someone actually utilize this feature and I doubt it is done by AI.
