I wandered lonely arsenic an investor
That floated astir the mining sector
First came Hut 8, Riot, Argo and Hive
Barely struggling to stay alive
Waiting for them to person bloomed
2021 was the twelvemonth they mooned
Along came Marathon, DMG and Bitfarms
These caller names had their charms
But Marathon and DMG wanted to artifact transactions
Only to consciousness the wrath of the idiosyncratic reactions
The watercourse of names seemed astir everlasting
Bit Digital, BIT Mining, Digihost, CleanSpark, Mawson, Cathedra and Cipher Mining
Then determination was the China ban
Causing a dash into America, Russia and Kazakhstan
Only a fewer would person lingered on
They had to stay hidden oregon they were gone
Bitmain, MicroBT and Canaan look mostly fine
But successful the aboriginal they could beryllium connected the line
Toward the extremity of the twelvemonth determination was a question of caller large names
Core Scientific, Stronghold and Greenidge with ambitious aims
There is much to travel successful this vein
With backstage superior hopeless to gain
Suddenly galore choices disposable now
Leaving outsiders wondering how
I'm not truthful lonely anymore
Clamor and crowds astatine the proverbial door
2021 was a sensational year
And present we beryllium backmost for immoderate Christmas cheer
As for what we expect for 2022
Wider dispersion of returns and affirmative skew
And to each reader, aged and new,
A Merry Christmas to each of you
