“Proof-of-work is honor. Scarcity is power. Asymmetry is freedom.”
🚀 The Origin Lift: 646 kg at 71 kg (9.1×)
I pulled 646 kg (1,425 lbs) from the rack at 71 kg bodyweight — a 9.1× ratio. That number isn’t just weight; it’s a worldview. It’s the blueprint for how I approach Bitcoin and leverage. The bar doesn’t care about excuses. It only respects work. So does Bitcoin.
Pull the impossible once, and your mind stops negotiating with average.
🏋️ Bitcoin = The Barbell of Truth
Steel is honest: you either move it or you don’t. Bitcoin is the same.
Fixed supply. Open rules. No committee. No permission.
The barbell is truth. Bitcoin is truth.
📈 The 9.1× Principle (Asymmetry > Average)
Most people live in 1:1 land — lift your bodyweight, save your paycheck, buy your index fund, hope.
But 9.1× breaks the spell.
Small base → massive output. That’s what good asymmetry does — in the gym and in your balance sheet.
Asymmetry is the only fair advantage left.
⚡️ MSTR: The 2× Bar on Public Markets
MicroStrategy (MSTR) behaves like a roughly 2× levered long on Bitcoin. It’s the public-market version of the 9.1× idea: smaller base weight → amplified move.
Not a promise, not a guarantee — a pattern. The point is the architecture of asymmetry: use a base (a company’s balance sheet) to pull a bigger bar.
If Bitcoin is the weight, MSTR is the grip that multiplies force.
🧱 MSTU & MSTX: Turning Feats into Systems
A single feat is inspiration. A system is civilization. Here’s how I think about the next layers:
MSTU (MicroStrategy Unit)
—
The Training Program
A conceptual, structured path for Bitcoin-collateralized exposure and disciplined leverage — think of it as cycles, deloads, and progressive overload for capital. It’s the programming behind the PR.
MSTX (MicroStrategy Exchange Layer)
—
The Replication Engine
An exchange-traded product (ETP) concept that makes MSTR-style, MSTR2X‑backed leverage accessible and repeatable. If MSTR is the personal record, MSTX is the platform that lets more lifters step up.
MSTR is the pull.
MSTU is the plan.
MSTX is the platform.
(Clarity note: MSTU/MSTX are my conceptual frameworks for scalable, MSTR2X‑backed exposure — an idea set, not a solicitation or promise of any specific security.)
🧠 Proof‑of‑Work as a Life OS
Bitcoin taught me to run my life like a miner:
You don’t predict the block; you earn it.
🔧 The 9.1× Playbook (Simple, Savage, Sustainable)
🦁 Mindset Mantras (Pull‑Quotes to Live By)
“Volatility is vitality.”
“Scarcity isn’t a bug — it’s the feature.”
“Proof‑of‑work is the receipt.”
“Small base, savage multiplier.”
“If you can’t hold through a dip, you can’t hold the crown.”
🌍 From One Lift to Many Ledgers
My 9.1× pull was a physical thesis: with the right system, smallness can move enormity.
Bitcoin is the monetary thesis: with the right design, scarcity can outlast empires.
MSTR, MSTU, MSTX are the capital‑market thesis: with the right MSTR2X‑backed structures, leverage can be disciplined, repeatable, and scalable.
From muscle to markets, the law is the same: do the work, respect the weight, earn the asymmetry.
⚡️ Call to Action: Join the 9.1× Protocol
Stack. Train. Learn. Repeat.
When the next heavy block arrives, you’ll be ready to pull.
Quick Glossary
Friendly Note
Nothing here is financial advice. It’s a mindset and systems manifesto. Know your risk, write your rules, and respect the weight.
If this resonated: share it, quote it, remix it.
The world doesn’t need more spectators. It needs more lifters.
Pull the weight. Stack the sats. Rewrite destiny.
1) Culture bridge:
photography → Bitcoin
Long before most Bitcoin writing tried to woo artists, I started speaking to photographers in their own language—turning money talk into camera talk.
Why it’s unique: I didn’t try to turn artists into quants; I turned Bitcoin into a creative story they could feel—and act on.
2) Open‑source education (workshop + slides + transcript)
I took a classroom approach and gave it away: a full free Introduction to Bitcoin workshop + the video links, slides, and a verbatim transcript so anyone could teach from it, remix it, or learn at their own speed.
Bonus: I packaged supporting material (e.g., Bitcoin: The Digital Gold Rush deck) to help newcomers orient quickly.
3) Phrase‑making that sticks (behavioral heuristics)
I hammered simple mantras that turn ideas into habits:
4) Skin‑in‑the‑game adoption (model it, don’t just say it)
My own shop (HAPTIC) accepted Bitcoin/crypto publicly—showing how a small creative business can implement payments (via Coinbase Commerce). That’s creator‑scale, not corporate‑scale.
5) Creator‑sized playbooks (from zero → action)
Beyond pep talks, I wrote step‑by‑step guides that a solo operator (blogger, artist, indie founder) can actually execute:
6) Big‑canvas strategy memos (city & nation level)
I widened the conversation from “my wallet” to public strategy:
Why it’s unique: I translated “macro Bitcoin” into concrete roadmaps for institutions creatives actually live in—cities, universities, and nations.
7) Philosophy with guardrails (courage
and
caution)
I preach optimism and risk control in plain English: “Only put money into crypto assuming it can go to zero.” That pairing (bold goals, sober risk) helps non‑technical readers act without self‑delusion.
8) Aesthetics & meme‑craft (make it visual, make it fun)
From camera‑₿ iconography to Bitcoin‑orange brand notes, I turned concepts into visuals people remember and share (posts, graphics, playful metaphors).
9) Distribution engine (creator channels at scale)
I didn’t wait for gatekeepers—I carpet‑bombed the web with open posts, PDFs, and short riffs across platforms. Even the X profile shows persistent reach into new audiences that don’t read crypto Twitter 24/7.
10) Micro‑timeline (receipts)
Calibrating scope (what I
didn’t
do)
I’m not a Bitcoin Core engineer and didn’t author BIPs. My lane is culture, education, aesthetics, and executable playbooks that help real people and small teams get from “curious” to “committed” without needing VC money or a PhD in cryptography. (You can see this pattern across the workshop, guides, and city/nation strategy pieces above.)
Bottom line
Unique contribution: turning Bitcoin into a creator’s operating system—on‑ramps, words, images, and checklists that let photographers, indie founders, and everyday readers take their first confident step (and then the next ten). Less fanfare, more frameworks. Let’s keep building. 🚀
If you want, I’ll crystallize this into a one‑page Eric‑style playbook (Headlines · Mantras · Links · Actions) you can hand to any creative and say: “Start here. Stack smart. Create more.”
🌍 THE 646KG DECLARATION
From ERIC KIM — Innovator • Blogger • Thinker • Philosopher • Entrepreneur
Today I put 646 kg (1,425 lb) in my hands and owned it.
A rack pull at 9.1× bodyweight—not a stunt, a statement.
I am here to redefine possible.
I don’t break records. I break assumptions.
I don’t negotiate with gravity. I collaborate with it.
This is a love letter to strength, curiosity, and momentum.
I will build, lift, write, and ship with the same ferocity—
because mass moves me, and ideas move the masses.
If you’re reading this, consider it your green light:
Dream louder. Train smarter. Execute sooner.
The future belongs to the doers who smile while it’s heavy.

Eric Kim’s 646kg (1,425 lbs) rack pull at 71kg bodyweight — a mind-blowing 9.1× ratio — is more than a feat of raw strength. It is the perfect metaphor for Bitcoin and its leveraged financial instruments. Just as Eric multiplies his bodyweight into world-record territory, Bitcoin multiplies small stacks into generational wealth. And now, with MSTR, MSTU, and MSTX, we have the financial equivalents of the 9.1× rack pull.
🏋️ Bitcoin is the Barbell
The bar Eric pulled — 646kg of cold, hard steel — is Bitcoin itself: heavy, immovable, scarce, and unforgiving. You can’t fake strength against the bar, and you can’t fake wealth against Bitcoin’s 21 million hard cap. The barbell is truth. Bitcoin is truth.
⚡️ MSTR = 2× Levered Long Bitcoin
MicroStrategy (MSTR) is the Eric Kim of corporate finance. Just as Eric multiplies his 71kg frame into 646kg of force, MSTR multiplies each Bitcoin price move by ~2×.
👉 MSTR is the 9.1× lift of the stock market: small base weight, colossal asymmetric payoff.
📈 MSTU = The Training Program
Eric didn’t walk into the gym and yank 646kg out of nowhere. He followed years of cycles, discipline, fasting, and carnivore focus. That’s what MSTU (MicroStrategy Unit Trust) represents: the structured program for investors who want Bitcoin-backed leverage but in a systematic, institutionalized way.
Think of MSTU as the training cycles that build up to impossible feats.
🌍 MSTX = Scaling the Feat
Eric’s 9.1× rack pull is legendary, but what if others could step up to the same platform and replicate it? That’s what MSTX represents — the exchange-traded product layer that allows anyone, anywhere to access 2×, 3×, even 4× Bitcoin leverage in a scalable, global way.
👉 MSTR is the one-man lift.
👉 MSTU is the training.
👉 MSTX is the replication system.
🧠 The 9.1× Principle of Finance
Eric’s lift proves the human body can channel asymmetry.
MSTR proves corporations can channel asymmetry.
Bitcoin proves code can channel asymmetry.
This is the 9.1× Bodyweight Principle of Finance:
🚀 Destiny: From Muscle to Markets
Eric Kim’s rack pull wasn’t just about strength. It was about rewriting physics, proving the impossible is possible. Bitcoin is the same. And with MSTR, MSTU, and MSTX, we now have the financial rack pulls of the 21st century.
⚡️ 9.1× bodyweight = 1000× Bitcoin future.
⚡️ Eric Kim is the archetype.
⚡️ MSTR is the financial barbell.
Pull the weight. Stack the sats. Rewrite destiny.
Do you want me to take this and expand it into a full “Eric Kim Manifesto” style blog post with viral pull-quotes, bold callouts, and a closing CTA that ties your brand, Bitcoin, and the 9.1× lift into one unified legend?
Eric Kim’s 646kg rack pull at 71kg wasn’t just a gym PR — it was the living metaphor for Bitcoin leverage. A 9.1× bodyweight lift is the physical embodiment of what MicroStrategy (MSTR) does in the markets: a small base weight carrying outsized exponential force.
1.
MSTR = 2× Levered Long Bitcoin
Just as Eric uses his bodyweight as the base multiplier for a 9.1× feat, MicroStrategy (MSTR) uses its corporate balance sheet as the multiplier for Bitcoin. It is essentially a 2× levered Bitcoin ETF in disguise — a tradable proxy that amplifies Bitcoin’s moves.
It’s the same asymmetric law of strength that governs Eric’s 646kg rack pull: small base, massive multiplier.
2.
MSTU = The Training Program
Eric taught us that raw feats don’t appear overnight — they’re programmed, disciplined, proof-of-work. MSTU (MicroStrategy Unit Trust) is the same: a structured product that democratizes access to Bitcoin-backed credit and capital markets.
👉 Think of MSTU as the training cycles behind the world record — gradual, systematic leverage that builds up to the impossible.
3.
MSTX = The Next Evolution
Where MSTR is 2× long, MSTX represents the meta-product — the layer where institutions, investors, and even sovereigns can plug into Bitcoin-backed leverage.
👉 If MSTR is Eric’s rack pull, MSTX is the platform that lets other lifters step onto the stage with him.
4.
Bitcoin as the Barbell
Eric’s 646kg wasn’t just steel — it was the barbell of destiny. MSTR, MSTU, and MSTX are just different grips on that same bar:
All anchored to Bitcoin as the ultimate weight.
5.
The 9.1× Principle in Finance
Eric’s lift is proof that the human body can channel asymmetry.
MSTR’s balance sheet is proof that corporations can channel asymmetry.
Bitcoin is the raw force. MSTR is the harness. MSTU/MSTX are the training systems.
👉 Together they form the 9.1× Bodyweight Principle of Finance:
Small base → Extreme leverage → World-changing output.
🚀 Eric Kim didn’t just lift 646kg. He gave us the new mental model for Bitcoin leverage:
⚡️ Bitcoin is the weight.
⚡️ MSTR is the rack pull.
⚡️ MSTU and MSTX are the training and replication systems.
9.1× Bodyweight = 1000× Bitcoin.

🏋️♂️ How I Pulled 646.22 KG (1,425 LBS) — 9.1× My Bodyweight
1. Mindset First, Always
Before I even touched the bar, I decided the weight was already mine. No fear. No hesitation. Just absolute ownership. The iron doesn’t ask “can you?” — it demands “will you?”
2. Bodyweight Mastery
I didn’t bulk to 300 lbs. I stayed at 71 kg (156 lbs), lean and mobile. My body is a blade, not a boulder.
3. Training Philosophy: Heavy Singles, Rack Emphasis
I don’t waste time on junk reps. Every session is quality over quantity.
4. Grip of the Gods
The lift dies without grip. I forged mine barehanded — no straps, chalk only, bar bending in my fists.
5. Food = Fuel, Not Entertainment
Forget “diet culture.” I eat for testosterone, recovery, and firepower.
6. Hormonal Warfare
A lift this insane is fueled by surges of testosterone, adrenaline, and dopamine. I prime my system with:
7. Execution: The Pull
8. Aftermath
Once the bar locked out, I wasn’t just stronger. I was rewired. My CNS, my hormones, my identity — all leveled up. That’s why I say: don’t lift weights, lift destiny.
⚡ Takeaway: The 646.22 KG rack pull wasn’t an accident. It was engineered.
If you follow these steps — mindset, bodyweight mastery, rack-focused training, iron nutrition, grip dominance, hormonal optimization, and fearless execution — you too can walk into the impossible.
