Like a tree by the waters, so are the based,

Their roots deep in the soil of what is real

Sourcing from truth nourishment for the soul.

Bitcoin opens the door,

And what begins as a search for freedom,

Or a grasp at wealth,

Becomes something far greater

For close contact with truth so pure

Cannot leave the soul untouched.

It sharpens the mind,

And clears the fog from weary eyes.

This is the alchemy of Bitcoin—

It transforms the brave Bitcoiner,

Inspiring him to cast off passive belief,

And the comfort of unexamined living.

He rises with resolve to live with intention,

Where what he thinks and what he does are one and the same.

He has become based.

The one who seeks understanding of Bitcoin

Finds himself awakened,

Pulled from the lies he didn’t know he lived under.

For in seeing truth so clear,

The heart begins to change,

And a deeper alignment inevitably ensues.

Being based is not a mindset—it is pure action.

It’s living your values,

Translating the truth in your heart

Into every step you take.

It’s the joy of getting real,

Of valuing reality over comfortable lies

And carefully maintained mental simulations

In a world full of illusion,

To be based is to be alive,

To walk with eyes wide open,

Seeing the world as it is,

Not just as it appears.

It’s the integration of yin and yang,

Of thought and action,

Of abstract and physical,

Of energetic and material,

Where what you know becomes what you do.

Bitcoin draws you into this,

Reminding you that truth is not a concept

But a way of being.

It rewards the firm, the clear, the real—

Those who refuse to bend to falsehoods.

What’s more valuable than standing firm

In a time of confusion?

To be based is to choose reality,

To plant your feet in the soil of what is true,

And to build from that place,

With courage and conviction,

Creating a life—and a world—rooted in truth.
