Eric Kim’s Key Ideas on Bitcoin and Life:
1. Heat and Thermodynamics
• Your body doesn’t create heat; it preserves it. Jackets, homes, and insulation are about minimizing heat loss, not generating warmth.
• The best way to stay warm? Seal the drafts, layer up with Uniqlo HeatTech and merino wool, and focus on preserving what you already have.
2. Life is About Delegation
• Focus on what you’re insanely good at—your Archimedes lever.
• Don’t waste time fixing houses or on maintenance. Outsource it. Let others do what they’re good at while you stay in your zone of genius.
3. Bitcoin is Ethical Money
• Bitcoin doesn’t need PR teams, leaders, or marketing—it’s pure, decentralized, and immaculate.
• Unlike Dogecoin or Ethereum, it doesn’t rely on celebrity hype or false prophets. Bitcoin is the Tesla of money: innovative and unstoppable.
4. Bitcoin is the New iPhone
• In the early iPhone days, no one knew its potential. Same with Bitcoin now. It’s the beginning of a massive aftermarket boom, like iPhone accessories but for finance.
5. There’s No Second Best
• In crypto, it’s Bitcoin or nothing. Ethereum, Dogecoin, or any altcoin? They’re like Pepsi or Burger King—nobody really wants them. Bitcoin is Coca-Cola, Nike, McDonald’s.
6. Bitcoin Equals Financial Freedom
• Growing up poor, financial independence became the ultimate virtue. Bitcoin is a tool for liberation.
• Just like clean water and fresh air, Bitcoin represents access to true economic health.
7. Bitcoin as Property and Cash
• Owning Bitcoin is like owning a single-family home in Culver City but infinitely scalable.
• It’s digital property and liquid cash at the same time—unmatched in versatility.
8. Exponential Growth is Unstoppable
• You can’t stop Bitcoin’s rise—it’s like early Facebook or Tesla’s ascent.
• BlackRock and ETFs are pouring in. Governments are noticing. This is the beginning of a financial paradigm shift.
9. Revolutionizing Society
• Imagine living in the back of the train eating bugs, or moving to the front for ribeye and sushi—that’s Bitcoin.
• It’s a chance to move from economic slavery to freedom, from drinking sewer water to fresh springs.
10. Why Bitcoin Matters
• It’s the antidote to poverty, financial despair, and economic inequality.
• Bitcoin is not just money; it’s ethics, philosophy, and the foundation for a better future.
This is the Year Zero of Bitcoin. We’re witnessing history in real time, and it’s only the beginning. Stay focused. Stay strong. Bitcoin is life.
