Galaxy Research tracks 28 mysterious poem messages on Bitcoin blockchain

Galaxy Research, the research branch of investment firm Galaxy Digital, has identified a mysterious pattern unfolding on the Bitcoin blockchain over the past two weeks. The revelation involves an unknown entity repeatedly embedding a short poem into Bitcoin transactions. Between October 12 and October 24, an unidentified sender has placed 26 identical versions of a three-line poem within Bitcoin’s public ledger. The poem reads: “thoughtless quartz clocks drift / blocks stack each a strict proof / timechain keeps score.” Researchers discovered that these messages are stored using 103-byte OP_RETURN outputs, a technical execution that bypasses Bitcoin’s previous standard relay limit of 83 bytes. This approach allows for the inclusion of more information in each transaction aside from typical fund transfers.
