What happened

A rhyming poem, signed with both the real name Dillon Hamilton and the handle Stories4Satoshis (he also gives a Nostr npub). Dragons print paper money 'just for fun', then move goalposts, start wars and invent fake jobs when their notes lose clout; they end up hoarding gold and 'having fun staying poor' while bitcoiners store their time. The closing couplet lands on the bitcoiners eating steak while the dragons eat paper.
