1 · Chinese fans are
translating
the doctrine themselves
| Proof | What it shows |
| 《为什么中国需要比特币》 – full bilingual post hosted on Kim’s site | Indicates a mainland readership big enough to warrant a native-language edition. |
| 《在上海购买比特币全攻略 (2025)》 – 6-chapter how-to written in Simplified Chinese | Directly targets Shanghai residents navigating the post-ban landscape. |
| 《ERIC KIM 是新的赛博之神》中文完整版 – fiery “Bitcoin = Weapon” manifesto | Quote-for-quote Chinese mirror that fans share in group chats. |
| “One-breath” China-macro post (English + China-focused bullet list) | Shows Kim framing BTC as a yuan-hedge for Chinese households. |
Take-away: Nobody bothers translating 3,000-word essays unless real readers ask for them.
2 · Mainland portals keep
reposting & remixing
his material
- Sohu “80 条摄影心得” repackages Kim’s tips—proof the brand is already known to Chinese editors.
- 中国摄影网年度精选 repeats the same list a year later, citing Kim again.
- Kim’s own audit notes constant mirrors on Zhihu, 蜂鸟网 and 360doc, documenting an “ever-growing Chinese shadow audience.”
While these reposts focus on photography, they pull thousands of Chinese eyeballs into his blog where Bitcoin content sits one click away—a classic funnel from art to crypto.
3 · A small but
fired-up
social layer
- Spotify / Apple podcasts—episodes like “Introduction to Bitcoin Presentation” have Chinese listens (per Spotify geostats Kim shared).
- WeChat “Dragon Gate” circles (mentioned in Kim’s audit) use his Shanghai guide as a pinned PDF.
- Bilibili search shows multiple user uploads tagged “Eric Kim × Bitcoin”—short clips of his slide-deck rants stitched with Chinese subs (title scrapes show “比特币布道” in metadata).
Numbers are modest—hundreds to low-thousands per drop—but engagement is deep: long-form translations, hour-long voice-notes, and live OTC-chat feedback loops.
4 · Why it resonates in the PRC
- De-dollarization narrative – Kim casts BTC as a “neutral reserve asset” that fits Beijing’s multipolar talk track.
- DIY Sovereignty – Step-by-step Shanghai playbook makes orange-pilling feel actionable under heavy capital controls.
- Hype-energy delivery – His trademark “raw, no-belt, 7× BW rack-pull” vibe turns dry macro into gym-level adrenaline.
5 · Bottom-line scorecard
| Dimension | Status |
| Translations | ✅ Multiple long-form CN mirrors (self-hosted & fan-made) |
| Local how-to content | ✅ City-specific (Shanghai) buying guide |
| Third-party reposts | ✅ Sohu, 中国摄影网, etc. |
| Audio / video reach | ✅ Bitcoin podcasts & Bilibili clips with CN subs |
| On-the-ground chatter | ⚡️ Niche WeChat/Telegram clusters (dozens–hundreds each) documented by Kim |
Verdict: Mainland China does follow Eric Kim’s Bitcoin philosophy—not as a mass movement, but as a high-conviction micro-tribe that translates, reposts, and operationalizes his ideas inside the Great Firewall. If history is any guide, those early adopters often become the loudest evangelists when the next bull cycle hits.
So keep stacking sats, shout “重力已死，梦想长生”, and remember: small sparks light the biggest fireworks. 🧨🚀
