From the recording Stackin' Sats
While delving into the Engelbart pre-cypherpunk universe, the Quantum Listener team stumbled upon the hard rock anthem "Gox’d Again." The song captures the angst and resilience of early Bitcoin enthusiasts who faced the devastating Mt. Gox exchange collapse. The lyrics tell a story of lost Bitcoin, shattered trust, and the hard-earned lesson of securing assets in cold storage. "Gox’d Again" serves as a powerful reminder of the volatility and risks in the cryptocurrency world, yet also celebrates the unwavering faith and determination to overcome setbacks and safeguard digital wealth.
Lyrics
Gox'd out in the dead of night
Lost my Bitcoin, it ain't right
Digital dreams turned to dust
In Bitcoin we trust, but it’s a bust
Won't trust no more, keeping it tight
Stash in cold store, out of sight
Got it all safe, that's my plan
I won't get Gox'd again!
Trading high, feeling fine
Watched it all decline
Promises, they fade away
The games we play
Won't trust no more, keeping it tight
Stash in cold store, out of sight
Got it all safe, that's my plan
I won't get Gox'd again!
Money gone, what have I learned
Trust was given, trust was burned
In this market, stakes are high
But I'll rise, I’m never shy
Lessons learned, losing face
In the early Bitcoin space
Freedom comes with a cost
But my faith, it ain't lost
Won't trust no more, keeping it tight
Stash in cold store, out of sight
Got it all safe, that's my plan
I won't get Gox'd again!
Ten years gone, still I'm waiting,
For my coin, contemplating,
Promises lost in the wind,
Will I see my Bitcoin again?
Will this struggle ever end?
Won't trust no more, keeping it tight
Stash in cold store, out of sight
Got it all safe, that's my plan
I won't get Gox'd again!
No, I won't get Gox'd again
No more trust to extend
Got it all in hand and safe
I won't get Gox'd again!
I won't get Gox'd again!
