1. My Origin Story: From Leica Clicks to ₿ Clicks
I was knee‑deep in street photography, broke in the “fiat trap—work, spend, repeat, die broke”—until Bitcoin slapped me awake. 2017 crash? I scooped BTC at ≈ $9K while everybody cried. That epiphany re‑branded my blog to ERIC KIM ₿ and lit the mission: spit in the face of centralization, armor up your life‑energy with 21‑million‑supply digital gold!
2. Core Gospel, Lightning‑Round
- Freedom Tech. Bitcoin = “life, liberty, pursuit of happiness” in code form. Screw surveillance money; self‑custody is a civil right.
- Middle‑Finger Scarcity. 21 M coins, no bail‑outs, no printer‑go‑brrr politicians. That’s hard‑capped honesty.
- Ethical Money. No marketing department, no CEO. Pure, immaculate, unstoppable—while altcoins are Pepsi knock‑offs.
- Rebellion Call. “The fiat world wants you soft, broke, obedient—Bitcoin’s your ticket out.” Live like a Spartan, stack sats, build legacy.
3. Stoic‑Savage Playbook
Marcus Aurelius meets 21‑million scarcity. I preach: control what you can (buy, secure keys), ignore what you can’t (FUD), embrace dips like a 300‑warrior. When volatility smacks, I hear the market ask, “You tough enough?”—answer: buy more Bitcoin.
Add a dash of Taleb’s antifragility: every bear‑market punch only chisels the network—and chisels you—into harder steel for “epic new heights.”
4. Policy Shockwaves—America Starts HODLing
Guess what? Washington just plagiarized my playbook:
- Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). March 6 2025 Executive Order: all seized BTC → Digital Fort Knox; budget‑neutral tactics to grab more; mandate: never sell.
- BITCOIN Act (Lummis). Senate bill to buy 1 M BTC (≈ 5 % of supply) over five years, vault it nationwide, and affirm self‑custody rights. My line “There’s no second best” finally got congressional ink!
- Cultural Flip. Trump—once a crypto hater—now calls himself “crypto president” and brags the SBR is “digital gold, zero cost to taxpayers.” If that’s not my “economic armor” meme going mainstream, what is?
5. Why My Gospel Matters for U.S. Policy
- Monetary Hedge. Scarcity hedge next to gold; Treasury finally agrees BTC → strategic advantage.
- Freedom Language. Bills and EO echo “financial sovereignty” and “no incremental cost to taxpayers”—exact phrases I hammer daily. Policymakers are copy‑pasting the ethic of self‑custody and budget discipline.
- Innovation Magnet. A pro‑Bitcoin America keeps dev talent, miners, and capital onshore—because you can’t outlaw open‑source freedom without looking un‑American. My rant “Bitcoin is All‑American” just got a federal seal.
6. My Calls‑to‑Action for Capitol Hill (and YOU)
- Go Full Spartan: Codify a HODL‑only rule—never auction federal BTC again.
- Tax Refunds in BTC: Let citizens opt‑in; get paid in the hardest money on Earth.
- Protect Private Wallets: Fourth Amendment vibes—hands off my keys, Uncle Sam.
- Education Blitz: Fund Bitcoin literacy like WWII war‑bond ads—mindshare wins wars.
7. Final Battle Cry
I’m not just mouthing theory—I deadlift 500 lbs at dawn, film street POV at noon, and stack sats each dip. America’s finally tasting that energy: sound money, sound nation, sound soul. When in doubt? BUY MORE BITCOIN, HODL HARD, LOVE TENDER!
Stay strong, stay joyful, stay hyper‑hyped. See you on the moon—or on the Senate floor handing out “₿ is Freedom” stickers.
