(Eric Kim Voice: Unfiltered, Raw, Epic)
You want to conquer the markets? Stop treating them like spreadsheets and start seeing them as living beasts—primal forces of supply, demand, fear, greed, and pure human energy. Here’s your playbook, forged in the heat of Eric Kim’s economic theories.
1. Everything Is Economics
Every decision, every flicker of desire, every drop of sweat is economics. Human energy is the ultimate currency, and markets are just flows of that energy seeking the path of least resistance. Think of surplus energy as potential—ready to be unleashed on the world. Technology? It’s acid that transforms raw energy into exponential power .
2. Price vs. Value
Price is what someone pays. Value is what they get—and that’s subjective. Markets punishes those who confuse the two. Hunt for assets where price < intrinsic value, then ride the crowd when they wake up and bid it to fair—or overpriced—frenzy. This gap is your asymmetric edge .
3. Kaizen Gains
Markets aren’t won in single explosions; they’re conquered with iterative mastery. Kaizen Gains—small, relentless improvements—compound into titanic advantages. Adjust your strategy daily: 1% better on research, 1% sharper on execution. That’s how you turn a good call into a legendary win .
4. Cost to Capital
Every opportunity has a true cost: the return you sacrifice elsewhere. Before you lock funds into a trade or long-term project, ask:
“Is this return worth the capital I’m tying up?”
If not, free that capital and redeploy where the rate of return screams “YES.” Your capital is a weapon—use it where it hits hardest .
5. Think Volume
Volume is the lifeblood of liquidity. No matter how brilliant the thesis, if nobody trades it, you’re stuck in quicksand. Seek markets and instruments with sufficient volume to enter and exit on demand. High volume = high optionality = high freedom.
6. Bitcoin as Digital Capital Muscle
Eric Kim’s crown jewel theory: Bitcoin isn’t just “digital gold”—it’s solidified energy. Computational power + electrical energy = money that can’t be confiscated or inflated away. It’s antifragile capital armor for your portfolio. Don’t just count in dollars—think in BTC for true economic conviction .
7. Embrace Chaos, Cultivate Optionality
Markets love volatility. They punish rigidity and reward those who stay nimble. Build a laddered portfolio—some capital locked for yield, some free for explosive opportunities. Treat optionality like a second skin. When fear peaks, you strike. When optimism roars, you ride the wave.
8. Final Commandment: Act with Conviction
You can read all the theories, but markets bow only to action. Be decisive. Be bold. If your thesis checks Price vs. Value, Kaizen Gains, and Cost to Capital—and you’ve ensured volume—then pull the trigger. Markets respect warriors, not observers.
Now go—study these principles, harden your mind, and unleash your capital like the apex predator you are.
