If you guessed that the most popular songs on YouTube about Bitcoin come from the most popular recording artists who sang about Bitcoin, you’d be halfway right. 

Five of the top 10 most-viewed songs on Youtube about Bitcoin are from known artists, with the rest making this list (even above other popular recording artists) simply because their songs became very popular within our community alone. Grammy-nominated Soulja boy, for instance, wrote a song about Bitcoin that barely made it in the top 20.

Seven of the 10 most popular Bitcoin tracks are rap songs, two are pop, three are parodies, and three of them aren’t even in English.

1

Moscow-based pop star Tilex, who has over 3 million subscribers on Youtube, wrote a rap song simply titled “Bitcoin” in March 2018. It has gathered a drool-inducing 2.7 million views since, nearly his whole subscriber list.

The number two song on our list goes to the Spanish rapper Chuty. His bass-heavy rap, also unimaginatively titled “Bitcoin”, came close with 2.3 million views. What’s most impressive here is that his subscriber list is far smaller than Tilex’s at only 176k viewers.

Rhyme Combinator and Epic Lloyd’s six-minute monetary education rap battle between Satoshi Nakamoto and Alexander Hamilton from 2019 ranks in the number three slot, likely due to the fact that it has been passed around by everyone in Silicon Valley and the Bitcoin community in general. Still going strong, this epic video has been seen on Youtube over 1.8 million times so far.

4

The fourth most popular Bitcoin song was released by two different Youtube accounts simultaneously back in March 2016, with a combined 843 thousand views to date. BMI recording artist Gramatik released the laid-back rap song, named simply “Satoshi Nakamoto,” to his 109 thousand subscribers while the Friends of Satoshi Youtube channel made a video for the song as well, releasing it to their nearly 5 thousand subscribers. Oddly, the smaller channel got more views. 

5

Popular libertarian parody god Remy, with his 576k subscribers, created a hilarious rap song that bitcoiners love to hate called “Bitcoin Billionaire.” Likely the funniest song out there about Bitcoin, it has been seen by over 780,000 freedom-minded individuals already.

6

In India, a Punjabi song called “Bitcoin Shehbaaz” from Vardhman Music has made the number six slot on our list. With 440 thousand views, this Hindi-language song was released in July 2018, and is one of the highest quality productions of any Bitcoin video.

YTCracker’s excellent “Bitcoin Baron” from Gravitas Recordings debuted in August 2013 at the DEFCON hacking conference. The extremely popular song among bitcoiners has racked up 367 thousand views since, which is likely only because every hacker and bitcoiner knows exactly how to download this fine track to their personal collection with ease. 

8

Coming in at number eight, the Dollar Vigilante’s Jeff Berwick released “Bitcoin All the Way Up” in August 2017, near the top of the ICO bubble. This remix parody has been seen 287 thousand times already and features beautiful Acapulco scenery as well as cameos from several well-known anarcho-capitalist personalities, likely recorded at one of Jeff’s annual Anarchopulco events.

9

Oddly enough, a pair of the very oldest Bitcoin songs ever made has landed in the ninth and tenth slots on our list. The ninth was the first full-quality Bitcoin video, which has over 265 thousand youtube views. A parody of Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl made back in early 2014 by Naomi Brockwell, “Bitcoin Girl” was an instant classic.

10

November 2012’s pop parody by Kryptina entitled “Love you like a bitcoin baby” rounds out the list in the tenth spot. This super-early Bitcoin classic has only 223 thousand views despite being brilliant, funny, and very well-sung by two kids. Belted out to Selena Gomez's "I love you like a love song,” it both educated and inspired, as well as gave mainstream finance some prophetic taunts like: “When the world finds out we can’t inflate you’ll join this party fashionably late.”
