Five awesomely bad songs inspired by Bitcoin

Libertarians, investors, techies, policymakers, and bankers all have differing reactions to the computer-science marvel that is Bitcoin.

For some people, the possibilities of the digital more-than-a-currency are too much; they have to sing its praises or follies out loud.

Here's five Bitcoin-inspired music videos that—depending on your taste and point of view—are either amazing or awful.

1. Holding

Original song: "The Longest Time" by Billy Joel

2. Blame It on Mt. Gox

Original song: "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele

3. Love You Like a Bitcoin

Original song: "Love You Like a Love Song" by Selena Gomez & the Scene

4. Bitcoin Is a Bubble

Original song: "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys

5. End of Silk Road

Original song: "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men

Bonus: Bitcoin Barbarians

This last song isn't a parody. It's an original song by Elaine Diane Taylor, a Vancouver singer-songwriter and Bitcoin enthusiast.
