‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the Twittersphere<\/p>\n
Not a troll was stirring, not even a financier;<\/p>\n
The crypto was HODLed in cold storage with care,<\/p>\n
In hopes that Satoshi would soon reappear;<\/p>\n
The newbies avoided FUD and slept in their beds,<\/p>\n
While visions of lambos danc’d in their heads. <\/p>\n
And Pomp being occupied, and Schiff spewing crap,<\/p>\n
Weren\u2019t calling attention to traders stacking sats.<\/p>\n
When in the trends came mentions of Nakamoto,<\/p>\n
I had to be sure it wasn\u2019t just FOMO.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Away to my portfolio my fingers did fly,<\/p>\n
And checked on the prices \u2014 man, were they high!<\/p>\n
Then, for a moment, I thought I was wrong.<\/p>\n
But no \u2014 a huge bull run, and eight altcoins going along.<\/p>\n
Who could have done this? Who answered my prayer?<\/p>\n
I knew in an instant the answer: Michael Saylor.<\/p>\n
A purchase so massive that all tokens mooned,<\/p>\n
Out of character he tweeted, and shouted, all to CT he crooned: <\/p>\n
“Now! Ether, now! Maker, now! Luna, and Solana,<\/p>\n
“On! Matic, on! Litecoin, on! Doge and Shiba;<\/p>\n
“To the top of the charts! To new all-time highs!<\/p>\n
“Now to the moon! Let the whales make the buys!\u201d<\/p>\n
And then in a twinkling, I thought more than once,<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe this is the time to cash out, after months?\u201d<\/p>\n
So on the sell button my cursor did hover,<\/p>\n
As I drew in a breath, and heard myself mutter:<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe,\u201d I said, \u201cCrypto has other plans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maybe, perhaps, Christmas is the time for diamond hands.<\/p>\n
I nodded to Saylor, and turned off my monitors,<\/p>\n
Even as users flew in from all corners,<\/p>\n
The tokens went wild, but I was content,<\/p>\n
Holding my Bitcoin, no matter where the price went.<\/p>\n
My message before signing off, bracing for a fight?<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy Christmas to all, and to all HODL tight.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
