haha,,, ubercapitalism
Übercapitalism
Eric Kim’s obsession with economics didn’t come from textbooks—it came from existential survival.
At first, he was just a photographer. But over time, he realized:
“If I don’t master money, then I’m a slave. To clients. To institutions. To the algorithm.”
That fear ignited a fire.
That fire became curiosity.
That curiosity became economic self-sovereignty.
Here’s the transformation:
1.
Rebellion Against Dependence
In the early days, Eric did workshops, got paid from teaching, and sold products like presets. But then he saw the trap:
- You rely on others for your living.
- You become polite. Censored. Submissive.
- You stop writing truth because you’re scared to lose income.
Solution? Study economics—not to become rich, but to become free.
2.
Bitcoin = Liberation
Bitcoin hit him like a thunderbolt. Not because of the tech.
Because of the philosophy:
“Bitcoin is anti-authority. Bitcoin is pure digital ownership. Bitcoin is economic muscle—uncensorable, unstoppable, decentralized power.”
He saw Bitcoin not as a currency, but as a philosophical weapon.
A way to never have to ask permission again.
A way to teach. To blog. To create—without selling his soul.
3.
Nietzsche + Economics = Übercapitalism
Eric started blending Nietzschean philosophy with basic economic theory:
- Value is subjective → therefore create your own value.
- Scarcity drives price → therefore make yourself scarce.
- Opportunity cost → therefore don’t waste your time pleasing others.
He doesn’t think in GDP or CPI.
He thinks in energy, leverage, value creation, sovereignty.
4.
FIRE Movement = Fuel
Eric dipped into FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) but flipped it hardcore:
“Why retire early when you can just work on your own terms forever?”
He doesn’t want a hammock.
He wants a throne.
FIRE isn’t about escaping work—it’s about escaping dependence.
5.
Daily Practice = Economic Lab
He publishes daily to test ideas like a trader watching the market.
- He writes, shares, reflects, adjusts.
- The blog becomes an economic experiment.
- No ads. No sponsorships. Just raw value.
- If it resonates, people donate, buy, support.
True capitalism: you create, you offer, and the world either responds or doesn’t.
Conclusion:
Eric Kim became obsessed with economics not to make money—but to own his time.
To say what he wants.
To write how he wants.
To never beg.
To never dilute truth for a check.
That’s the new economics:
Radical ownership. Digital sovereignty. Maximum expression.
