Actually… If you think about it, a real gangster would probably just drive an incognito white Prius, why? Nobody would assume at a traffic light that somebody in a Prius is either a drug dealer, gangster, or, bank robber. In fact, even John Wick would probably just drive an all matte black Prius because it has a built-in silencer? 

Sociologically philosophically, and also… Entrepreneurially this is a super fascinating thought:

Is it better to just go with the flow, and feed into the desires of people? Or is it better to just disrupt the whole playbook?

My first idea is that it is probably more fun and interesting to swim opposite the current, this is what makes muscles.

So for example, if you just go with Tran just become another emaciated dying antelope looking CrossFit long distance runner. I have never seen a fit cross fitter.

Instead, people are telling me that I look like Cristiano Ronaldo now, with my fabulously big muscles, sharp jawline ,,, and I think one thing I appreciate about the honesty and candor of the Cambodian people is that for the most part, they have no egos; they do not value their own self-worth in comparison to you, this is what I think is a toxic eagle. A healthy ego a good ego is an ego in which your ego is self predicated, not on others but only you.

Anyways, all Cambodian tell me that I am universally handsome, which is great for my self-esteem. And they are not lying.

Anyways, how to make things cool and great again.

So the first thought is yeah I think it is wise to just like be the creator of new values. Nietzsche would have been proud of me.

So for example, people who just follow trends, they are just also like lemmings just waiting to get slaughtered. One interesting guy I met in San Jose, at a random Starbucks coffee shop, kind of told me something interesting about words, how words are so powerful.

So for example, Facebook, the feed… If you think about a slaughterhouse, they feed the cows grain, on a treadmill, before they slaughter them. When you enter your newsfeed, it is the same thing. Except, they are plumping you up on toxic news, or toxic feed.

Let me give you an example. Let us say that you have the option of feeding your child the finest Wagyu hundred percent grass fed beef, that has been hand fed the finest grass, with the maximum amount of sunshine, massaged, and can listen to Mozart and Bach. Or you could give your kid toxic chicken McNugget sludge or worse… So you infuse high fructose corn syrup. What would you feed your kid?

I think like social media feeds are like the new toxic corn syrup sludge, except, it is even worse.

I think it is like a strange like opium, it does really weird things to people. It kind of like a combination of a sedative, opioid and drug, that is both stimulating but also paralyzing?

For example, my only good goal in life is like a good night sleep, 9 to 12 hours, maximum movement during the day, maximum physical and muscular vigor, sharp mind, precise body. Even with strength, when I’m starting to realize is maybe the joy is before I lift something heavier, 552 kg is currently my record, The general idea is that like do you have the joyful audacity before the lift, ,,, And I think actually, mood and physiological vigor are tied to one another.

So for example, there is an interesting Cambodian proverb, to see the news of the heart, look at their face. What this means is that, you could really really see the physiological health being state of somebody just by looking at their face!

So what’s also great about being here in Cambodia, all the kids are like insanely happy, full of energy and vigor, running around and super happy. Same thing with young people in their university years, highschoolers, middle schoolers, and even kids in their 20s. Everyone is always smiling joyful, and I think it is a consequence of the culture of just like letting kids be kids and run around, and also, there is certainly a culture of laissez faire of children: they just let the kids be kids run around make a mess or whatever, that’s what kids do! I think in America there is this weird like anti-child ethos, in which it is OK for your dog to bark and make a mess, and poop in public or whatever, or pee in public, yet children are given no freedoms? Very strange.

Cambodian morning light hits the Mekong like a flash-bang, and Eric Kim’s Bitcoin message travels with a similar shock-wave: each tweet, blog post, or workshop detonates new pockets of orange-pilled energy across Phnom Penh, then ricochets through Southeast Asia and into the global street-photo diaspora. His “blast radius” begins with a single sat stacked and ends—potentially—with a nation of 17 million leveling up to sovereign money. Below is the anatomy of that explosion.

What “Blast Radius” Means in Bitcoin Context

In security jargon, a blast radius is the maximum zone affected when something blows up — the wider it is, the bigger the impact  .

Kim flips the metaphor: replace “damage” with creative, financial, and philosophical upside, and you get the positive shock-wave of adoption that follows a high-conviction Bitcoiner’s actions.

Inner Core — Eric’s Personal Detonation

• Blog Rebrand to “₿LOG.” In 2025 he openly pegs his creative identity to Bitcoin price action and Stoic discipline  .
• Bitcoin as Ad-Free Monetization. A 2025 essay frames BTC tips as the clean alternative to surveillance ads  .
• Audience Foundation. His street-photography site has ranked #1 on Google for “street photography” for years, giving him a pre-built megaphone — millions of page views per year  .

First Ring — Media & Community Channels

Kim’s posts morph into “digital napalm”: tweets, Telegram blasts, workshops, and impromptu rack-pull live streams that tie lifting heavy to stacking sats. Each touch-point seeds new wallets and fresh conviction among followers, especially creatives who never thought of themselves as investors before.

Second Ring — Capital Vehicles & Playbooks

• Black Eagle Capital (Oct 2024). His hedge-fund launch gives larger investors a turnkey way to follow his thesis  .
• “Bitcoin Bank” Playbook (2025). A step-by-step CASP-license guide shows Cambodian founders how to build compliant BTC on-ramps, multiplying Kim’s reach through other operators  .

Third Ring — The Cambodian Fintech Petri Dish

• QR-Code Rails. ABA Bank, Cambodia’s largest by assets, keeps rolling out KHQR integrations (even in hospitals), giving Bitcoin the instant-settlement plumbing it needs  .
• Youth Demographic. Median age is just 26.2, a population born mobile-first and hungry for permissionless finance  .
• Crypto Adoption Rank. Chainalysis lists Cambodia #17 worldwide for grassroots crypto uptake in 2024  ; over two-thirds of local crypto users are 18-24  .
• Fintech Boom. E-wallet accounts jumped from 13.6 million to 19.5 million in one year, and online payments hit $272.8 billion — fertile ground for Lightning-fast Bitcoin UX  .

Fourth Ring — Policy, Perception & Narrative

Cambodia’s new CASP rules (Dec 2024) carve out space for Bitcoin businesses while keeping banks cautious, a framework Kim evangelizes to push founders toward full compliance  .

At the same time, his content reframes Cambodian crypto policy not as a hurdle but as proof the nation takes digital money seriously, nudging foreign capital to view Cambodia as “regulator-friendly” rather than “frontier-risk.”

Global Echoes

Kim’s original street-photo followers in Los Angeles, Seoul, Berlin, and Lagos now watch Cambodian fintech TikToks and ask, “Why does their bank app do instant QR but mine still ACH?” The blast radius thus loops back to pressure Western institutions, embodying Saylor’s axiom: “Bitcoin fixes endpoints.”

Forward Trajectory

If even 5 % of Cambodia’s 19.5 million e-wallet users start dollar-cost-averaging $10/week in BTC, that’s ≈$101 million in annual buy-pressure—enough to echo far beyond the Mekong. With every rack-pull video and every Khmer-language ₿-workshop, Eric Kim widens the radius.

Lift heavy, stack sats, and let the shock-wave do the rest.

Bitcoin នៅកម្ពុជា មិនមែន ជាលុយ។

មិនមែន ជាទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិ។

មិនមែន សម្រាប់ “រក្សាមូលតម្លៃ” ទេ។

វាជាការចាំបាច់ដ៏អស្ចារ្យមួយសម្រាប់ការរំកិលអាណាចក្រ។

នេះមិនមែនជា Wall Street ទេ។

មិនមែនជា Silicon Valley ទេ។

នេះគឺជា PHNOM PENH, បង។

ទីកន្លែងដែលទូកម៉ូតូជិះតាមផ្លូវ, ផ្សារទំនើបបើកដំណើរការជាមួយ meme, ហើយអនាគតរត់លើ Bitcoin។

១. Bitcoin នៅកម្ពុជា គឺជា 

ការបង្កើតទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិដោយគ្មានការអនុញ្ញាត

នៅអាមេរិក អ្នកត្រូវការអាជ្ញាប័ណ្ណ ប្រព័ន្ធធនាគារ ប្រាក់ពន្ធ ការផ្ទៀងផ្ទាត់អត្តសញ្ញាណដ៏ច្រើន… ដើម្បីទិញ $១០០ ក្នុង Bitcoin?

នៅកម្ពុជា?

ចូលទៅ ABA ឬធ្វើ QR scan តែប៉ុណ្ណោះ—ផ្ទេរទាន់ហ្នឹង។

គ្មាន “credit score”

គ្មាន “Wall Street”

គ្មានគាត់ទេ។

មានតែអ្នក។

Bitcoin គឺជាអំណាចរបស់ ប្រជាជន។

អ្នកមិនត្រូវការឲ្យនរណាអនុញ្ញាតអោយអ្នកទេ។

អ្នកគ្រាន់តែ ចាប់ផ្ដើម។

២. ពលរដ្ឋក្មេងខ្មែរគិតជាសកល

ក្មេងខ្មែរ មិនគិតតិច។

ពួកគេមើល TikTok បួនភាសា។

រៀនពី YouTube, Telegram, Discord, Twitter។

ពួកគេ ឮ Eric Kim ហ៊ឺហា បាញ់ថា “BUY BITCOIN!”

ពួកគេ មិនចង់ ប្រាក់ដុល្លារ។

ពួកគេចង់បាន digital leverage។

ចង់បាន sovereign power។

ចង់ចេញសម្រស់ថា៖

“យើងមិនជាតិក្រ យើងគ្រាន់តែ មុនគេ។”

៣. កម្ពុជា 

គ្មានការចាប់ខ្លួន Bitcoin

គ្មាន SEC

គ្មាន IRS

គ្មាន Goldman Sachs

គ្មានអ្វីរាំងខ្លួនអ្នកទេ។

គ្មានអ្វី “ត្រូវដោះសោ” មុននឹងចូលប្រើ។

គ្រាន់តែចូលតែប៉ុណ្ណោះ។

→ គ្មានពន្ធ Capital Gains?

→ ABA Pay?

→ Telegram trading groups?

→ អនាគតរបស់ Bitcoin គឺនៅទីនេះ។

៤. ABA Pay + Bitcoin = កម្លាំងពិតប្រាកដ

ABA គឺជាប្រព័ន្ធធនាគារដែលប្រើបច្ចេកវិទ្យាលឿនជាងគេនៅSEA។

សូម្បីអ្នកលក់នំបញ្ចុក នៅចុងផ្លូវ ក៏មាន QR Code!

ABA ជាមួយ Bitcoin → frictionless finance.

→ QR code ថ្ងៃនេះ

→ Lightning wallet ថ្ងៃស្អែក

→ អ្នកក្លាយជា Nakamoto ខ្មែរ!

៥. ក្រុមហ៊ុន “Khmer Bitcoin Treasury”? 

មិនអាចដំណើរការ

—វាហើយហ្នឹង!

គ្រួសារ នីមួយៗ ត្រូវមាន Bitcoin treasury។

អាជីវកម្មៗទាំងអស់។

សាលារៀនទាំងអស់។

សត្វមានជីវិតទាំងអស់។

អតីតកាល៖ រក្សាទ្រព្យជាសាច់គោនិងមាស

ពេលនេះ៖ stack សាត់។

សិក្សាឥឡូវនេះ។

ធ្វើពាណិជ្ជកម្មឥឡូវនេះ។

បង្រៀនអ្នកជុំវិញអ្នកឥឡូវនេះ។

ពេលដែល Bitcoin ឡើងដល់ $1,000,000…

កម្ពុជា នឹង មិនមែនជាប្រទេសកំពុងអភិវឌ្ឍទេ។

វានឹងជាប្រទេសអធិការប្រកបដោយឯករាជ្យ។

គំនិតចុងក្រោយ៖ កម្ពុជា x Bitcoin = ការវិនិយោគកំពូល

កម្ពុជា គឺជាសញ្ញា “,”

Bitcoin គឺជា “!”

កុំសួរ។ កុំរង់ចាំ។ កុំសុំ។

→ Stack

→ Teach

→ Build

→ Lift

ដើម្បីអនាគតមួយ ដែល គ្មាននរណាចាប់បាន។

1 · The Numbers That Melt Minds

Athlete	Lift & Style	Body Weight	Ratio (lift ÷ BW)	Source
Eric Kim	552 kg mid-thigh rack pull	72 kg	7.6 ×
Brian Shaw	511 kg (~1,128 lb) rack pull	~200 kg (post-retirement cut)	2.5 ×
Oleksii Novikov	538 kg (1,185 lb) 18-in. partial	135 kg*	4.0 ×
Krzysztof Wierzbicki	400 kg raw floor deadlift	97 kg	4.1 ×
Lamar Gant	300 kg raw floor deadlift	60 kg	5.0 ×

*Strongman body-weights fluctuate; figure based on 2024 WSM data.

2 · Why Kim’s Ratio Turns Reality Inside-Out

2.1 Short-ROM = Monster Load

Rack pulls start at knee height, letting elite lifters hoist 10–25 % more than their full deadlift max—sometimes far more for lever-optimized outliers. That nuance is often lost on viewers, so the sheer tonnage feels “alien.” 

2.2 Visual Shock Multiplier

Low-angle cameras, slow-motion whip, and the clang of 25-kg plates hack our “heaviness heuristics,” exaggerating scale and danger. 

2.3 Algorithmic Nitro

High-arousal disbelief drives re-watch loops and comment storms—the very engagement spikes TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels reward in 2025’s ranking code. 

3 · Where Official Strength Sports Draw the Line

Metric	What It Measures	Who Rules
Wilks / DOTS score	Total squat + bench + dead vs. body-weight	Lightweight powerlifters like Sergei Fedyunin & Jessica Buettner top recent charts
IPF Raw Deadlift Ratio	Floor pull only	Lamar Gant’s 5× BW standard still unbeaten four decades later
Strongman Partial Lifts	18-inch, Hummer-tire, silver-dollar variants	Novikov & Shaw share the podium by absolute weight, not ratio

Take-away: competition federations rank full-range or standardized pulls. Kim’s mind-bending ratio simply lives in a different category—spectacular, but not (yet) sanctioned.

4 · So… Is Eric Kim Really “Strongest on Earth” Pound for Pound?

1. Rack-Pull Universe: YES. No one has posted a higher straight-bar mid-thigh pull per kilogram, on record or online.  
2. Full-Range Universe: NOT YET. Lamar Gant’s legendary 5× BW and emerging five-times-BW lifters like Nabil Lahlou (5 × BW at 155 lb) still eclipse every documented conventional deadlift ratio.
3. All-Round Strength: Depends on the yard-stick—Wilks, DOTS, Olympic totals, or maximal isometrics all crown different champs.

5 · Hype-Fueled Verdict

Eric Kim’s 7.6× BW rack pull is a planet-cracking outlier that leaves strongmen, powerlifters, and keyboard skeptics jaw-dropped. Pound for pound, nothing filmed to date moves more iron at that height. But titles like “strongest human alive” live on shifting turf—step onto the full-range platform, and new dragons await. Either way, Kim just red-lined what we thought a 72-kilo human could do, and that alone re-writes the mental physics of strength. Chalk up, dream bigger, and chase your own record-shattering moment! 💥
