• “493 KILOGRAM RACK PULL BREAKS THE INTERNET” – Title of Eric’s May 31, 2025 blog post (and accompanying Twitter/X announcement) about his 493 kg bare-beltless lift .  This dramatic phrasing immediately cast the feat as epic, and the post vividly described “no belt, no shoes… the world lost its mind” .  The clip quickly went viral across YouTube, TikTok and X, racking up hundreds of thousands of views and shares (with hashtags like #HYPELIFTING and #GRAVITYISASUGGESTION trending) .
• “ERIC KIM: 493KG. BAREFOOT. BELTLESS. BRUTAL.” – All-caps hook from a June 2025 blog/IG post .  This punchy tagline (followed by lines like “No belt. No shoes. No music. No ego.” ) was explicitly crafted as a shareable, punch-packed caption for Instagram, TikTok and X.  By listing his raw conditions and emphasizing “brutal”, it hooked audiences seeking authenticity.  The grandiose tone (“garbage, bloody, warlord…” etc.) resonated with both fitness fans and creative followers, turning the announcement into a memeable, share-ready script .
• “BELTS ARE FOR COWARDS.” – Provocative caption Eric used on his viral lift posts .  This defiant one-liner (featured in his 493 kg post) stirred debate across communities: fitness buffs, stoics, crypto enthusiasts, and even street photographers picked it up.  For example, one note on the post observed photographers quoting him (“This guy made pain look like poetry”) when repeating this line .  Its blunt, catchy nature made it perfect meme fuel – it was widely reposted and remixed, fueling engagement and discussion .
• “Gravity just got cancelled.” – Short, witty tweet caption announcing his 498 kg rack pull (June 4, 2025) .  By humorously “cancelling” gravity, this line framed the lift as defying physics.  The quip was retweeted and liked widely (the blog notes one tweet earned ~646K impressions ), helping drive viral buzz.  The phrase underlined Eric’s larger-than-life persona and was echoed by followers across platforms.
• “513 KG / 1,131 LB RACK PULL — NEW WORLD RECORD @ 6.84× BODYWEIGHT” – Title of his June 14, 2025 YouTube video (and blog post) .  Framing it as a “new world record” at 6.84× bodyweight, the headline boldly telegraphed the extreme nature of the lift.  This ambitious hook drew viewers in; the accompanying video and blog delivered the proof.  The phrasing also connected with niche audiences (strength enthusiasts, philosophers, and even artists), as his feats were presented in mythic terms.  The sheer scale in the title helped the video soar to millions of views, cementing its reach.
• “HOW ERIC KIM BROKE SOCIAL MEDIA: Not an update. Not a post. A SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE.” – Headline of a viral June blog essay by Eric .  This dramatic banner line announces that his content shattered platform norms.  By calling the event a “systemic collapse,” Eric set an apocalyptic tone that captured readers’ attention.  The post goes on to describe how one lift post “got ripped, stitched, memed… by multiple subcultures at once,” illustrating its wide impact.  This meta-hook resonated especially with creative audiences (even street-photographers, drawn to his minimal, Stoic messaging) as evidence of his cultural influence .

Each of these hooks combined bold language and context (lift stats, defiant slogans or philosophical flair) to grab attention.  They appeared on Eric’s blog, YouTube titles, and social feeds (Instagram/TikTok captions and Twitter/X posts) and clearly fueled massive engagement – shares, comments and likes – among both street-photography fans and broader creative/fitness communities .

GO GO GO! – Dylan Le Clair

So I’ve been thinking about metaplanet a lot last year. What’s like the bitcoin digital cyber Monopoly here is that Meta planet has the ultimate tax advantage way for Japanese to get bitcoin, without capital gains taxes.

This is like the unfair advantage. I think now… The bitcoin treasury space in America is getting a little bit crowded, whereas Meta planet, the only Nippon, red.flag on the bitcoin treasuries scoreboard, is alone.

Now why this becomes interesting is once again… My heart take is that I think Meta planet will become the number two most valuable company in the world, with MSTR strategy being number one.

The simple thought is, assuming that bitcoin hits 21 million a coin, and assuming that sooner or later strategy will get a Nakamoto, a.k.a. 1 million bitcoins, I think Meta planet is not going to be far behind. Dylan Leclair, I’m not sure how old he is but 20s, he’s probably gonna live like 100 years. And he is like the mini Michael saylor, but of Asia.

So Michael Saylor laid the blueprint, but he is already 60 years old, he will chug on for another 20 years, but after that he will probably slow down a bit. Where as Dylan, go go go Dylan! I love him I think he is intelligence smart courageous, and very likable as a person.

The next year shareholder meeting

The next year shareholder meeting for medical plan is going to be effing insane. They’re probably going to have to rent out a football stadium.

Simon the CEO is super awesome because he’s like very intelligent self spoken, and has a strong vision. And obviously he’s on team bitcoin.

The future of Japan is bright

So my prediction is… Sooner rather than later, metaplanet, 3350, well eclipse Toyota and become the number one company in Japan.

So assuming that Meta planet is like an $8 billion company right now… They’re easily going to hit 100 billion. Like saylor says, your first hundred billion is the most difficult. 

I think being an investor is like kind of more of a mindset than anything. To look at least like 1234 years ahead… Ideally 10 2030 4050, 300 years and beyond,  thinking about your kids kids kids kids kids.

So I think the first step is obviously… Plan on having a family having kids, ideally two. Ideally one boy one girl, but if that doesn’t happen that’s OK too.

Essentially you’re trying to build like an empire not just for yourself but your future family. This becomes a good and important idea because I think the problem in today’s world is everyone is just thinking about their own generation in life which then becomes too myopic and near sighted.

I suppose then the difficulty is like, what’s the point of planning for the future thinking that, it is possible that you might die today, or you might not make it into the future?

I think the simple way to barbell this is to like plan and to invest like you’re going to live 1000 years, but also, harnessing the physiological joy of today, to maximally extract the upside of today.

So for example, throw your loser iPhones into the trash, my general thought is that there is nothing more interesting on the Internet then the smile and the joy and the laughter and the curiosity of your own child, and also I think this is a big thing too, the joy of other people!

I find this very bizarre, thinking consider how antisocial the modern-day American is. Even in LA. Yet, consider how bizarre is that the average young person probably watches what like five or six hours of television media TikTok a day, which is all obviously humans interacting someway?

And it becomes really really bizarre because then once again, obviously all the entertainment is having to deal with humans and human relationships and human drama but when it comes to human interaction in the flesh, they suddenly do not know how to interact?

Why social skills are the future 

So I had this thought all the way back in Rhode Island, I think this was even during Covid time. The general idea is that no no no, the future is not about nerds for our best able to use technology, I actually think these people will fail. Why? Once again, there’s gonna be a certain inflection point in which Technology is not really going to matter that much. For example, assuming that everyone has access to the best AI, technically any technical jobs will all be outsourced to the AI, and the operators of the AI, I think it’ll be kind of like mid to low tier jobs. 

For example I’m still shocked, assuming that you go to the top university here in Cambodia, at best at best at best, the topping job might be like 800 or $1000 a month. That’s like the top job, realistically most university graduates are making some more alike $250-$500 a month,

And then it seems that what happens is that these kids, end up just working these jobs for the rest of their lives, with no real material benefits for themselves or their families who all typically live in the countryside.

My vision


So the first thought is, invest in real life human beings in the flesh, ideally aspirational and entrepreneurial young people, ideally in university, early 20s.

so assuming that my new hype lifting concept is the future, 552 kg rack pull and beyond… The simple thought is like what’s the point of it?

First, if you could become like the world’s strongest personal bodyguard, isn’t that the goal? Even John Cena, the fake poser, he has a bodyguard even bigger than he does?

Becoming your own bodyguard

So it seems that like no matter how rich powerful or whatever you are… There’s probably going to be a certain point in which you get some sort of like paranoia or fear that other people want your body. And as NASSIM TALEB says, rather than hiring a bodyguard, better that you yourself look like and become a bodyguard.

No more fear

Obviously caution wise thing like it is probably not a good idea to close your eyes and cross a busy street with AirPods on. You’re probably gonna get hit by a car and die.

similarly speaking, probably not a good idea to go bungee jumping without a cord, even if you have no fear.

So certainly prudence is a good idea, also when it comes to things… Having a backup a safety or double backup safety or even a triple back up safety is a good idea.

so with weightlifting, it’s always wise to have like double extra support and buffer. For example I just lifted 552 kg, yet… The rack I am using is probably good for at least 1000 kg, maybe even 1500 kg. So I feel safe.

similarly speaking, when you’re traveling with your devices assume that your iPhone or your iPad or your laptop is going to break, so it’s always why to have like paper back ups, because for like the 99 times you’re safe, the one time it fails, you’re going to wish that you had prepared better.

Always be prepared, the Boy Scouts motto.

Below is a step‑by‑step playbook, plus pro tips on banks, OTC counters, P2P, ATMs, taxes, and staying safe—delivered in a turbo‑charged, upbeat style to keep your crypto journey joyful!

1. Know the Rules (and Why They’re Your Friend)

Hong Kong’s VASP licensing regime

• Legal backdrop. Since 1 June 2023, any exchange that actively markets to Hong Kong users must hold an SFC Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) licence. Check the live list before you trade.  
• Who’s licensed today?
  
  • HashKey Exchange – Type 1 & 7 licences; retail trading went live Aug 2023.  
  • OSL Digital Securities – first to be licensed (Dec 2020) and now retail‑enabled.  
  • Four more exchanges were added in Dec 2024, bringing the total to nine as of Feb 2025, with eight applications pending.  
• Who’s out? Heavyweights such as OKX, Huobi and Gate withdrew their Hong Kong bids in 2024; if an app isn’t on the list, steer clear.  
• Why it matters. A recent JPEX scandal showed what can go wrong on unlicensed venues; always verify first.  

2. Pick Your Battlefield: Where to Buy

Route	Best For	Highlights
Licensed Exchanges	Most users	HashKey & OSL: HK‑resident KYC, HKD deposits via FPS/RTGS, low trading spreads.
Digital Banks (e.g., ZA Bank)	“All‑in‑one” investors	Buy BTC from the same app you use for HKD savings; minimum only HKD 600.
OTC Counters	Cash buyers & tourists	Walk‑in shops like One Satoshi (Tsim Sha Tsui) or OTCXpert for large deals.
P2P Marketplaces	Bargain hunters	Binance P2P often zero maker fee on HKD pairs; live prices tracked on p2p.army.
Bitcoin ATMs	Convenience & anonymity (small sums)	200+ machines city‑wide—check CoinATMRadar or CoinHero for locations.

(Tip: Mix‑and‑match—many locals stack sats on licensed exchanges, then arbitrage via P2P or OTC when spreads favour HKD cash.)

3. Step‑by‑Step: From HKD to BTC to HODL

1. Sign up & KYC
   
   • Use a licensed platform; upload HKID and proof‑of‑address. Approval usually < 15 min.
3. Fund your account
   
   • FPS/RTGS bank transfer (free, near‑instant) or HKD/HKD‑linked card. ZA Bank and major banks such as HSBC, BOCHK, Standard Chartered all support FPS deposits to exchanges.  
5. Place the order
   
   • Market order for speed; limit order if you want a tighter fill. Fees ≈ 0.1 % on HashKey/OSL.
7. Withdraw to self‑custody
   
   • Send BTC to a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) or a mobile wallet (BlueWallet, Sparrow on desktop).
9. Record the transaction
   
   • Keep screenshots of trade confirmation and wallet tx‑ID for tax evidence.

4. Payment Methods Cheat‑Sheet

Method	Speed	Cost	Typical Limit
FPS bank transfer	~1 min	Free	HKD 1 m / day
Credit / debit card	Instant	1.5–3 %	HKD 50 k
Cash at OTC shop	5 min	1–2 % spread	Up to HKD 5 m
P2P (FPS/cash)	5–15 min	Maker/taker ≤ 0.2 %	Negotiated

5. Tax & Reporting—Keep the Lion Rock’s Roar Happy 🦁

• No capital‑gains tax for personal investing in Hong Kong, but trading “in the nature of business” is taxable. DIPN 39 (2019) remains the key reference.  
• Record‑keeping: The IRD joined the OECD Crypto‑Asset Reporting Framework in Dec 2024; expect tighter information exchange after 2027.  
• Future perks? The government is exploring crypto tax breaks to lure family offices.  
• Pro tip: Keep a spreadsheet (or use Koinly, CoinTracker) that logs date, amount, cost, and wallet address.

6. Security & Best Practices

1. Verify licence on the SFC site each time—URLs can be spoofed.  
2. Enable 2‑FA (app‑based, not SMS).
3. Cold‑store long‑term holdings.
4. Avoid unlicensed “high‑yield” schemes—if it sounds too good, remember JPEX.  
5. Stay current. Reuters reports the SFC plans to green‑light derivatives and margin lending; rules evolve fast.  

7. Quick Checklist (Screenshot‑worthy ✅)

• ☐ Chosen a licensed exchange / bank / OTC counter
• ☐ Completed KYC
• ☐ Deposited HKD via FPS or cash
• ☐ Executed BTC purchase
• ☐ Withdrawn to personal wallet
• ☐ Logged TX details for taxes
• ☐ Enabled 2‑FA & backups

Stick this flow on your fridge and stack sats with confidence!

8. Keep the Momentum—Next Steps

• Automate a “sat‑stack” plan: set weekly HKD auto‑deposits into HashKey’s recurring buy.
• Learn DeFi under regulation: HashKey just won SFC approval to offer staking; expect ETH‑staking-from‑HK soon.  
• Watch the licence race: More platforms are coming; competition = lower fees.  

Final Word of Motivation 🎉

Hong Kong is once again a front‑row seat in the global crypto arena—clear rules, deep liquidity, and a vibrant OTC scene mean you can surf the Bitcoin wave with security and style. Get verified, get funded, grab your slice of digital gold, and let the Lion Rock spirit roar! 🦁🚀

在中国上海购买比特币的全方位 2025 指南

概览：当前中国的加密货币交易环境

自 2017 年（并在 2021 年进一步强化）起，中国政府取缔了境内中心化加密交易所，境内没有任何合法、官方许可的比特币交易平台。

不过，个人持有加密资产并不违法。因此，大量中国用户仍通过 P2P、OTC、稳定币 USDT 以及香港的更宽松通道进场。

下文按章节详解一切可行方式、支付手段与安全须知，帮你在上海购买比特币。

1. 政府“默许”/合规通道（中国境内外可行的合法选项）

场景	说明	操作要点
中国大陆	无官方许可的加密交易所；国内 App 都被关停 / 出海	若遇“号称合法”的平台需格外警惕
香港合规平台	香港特区法规独立，已向 OSL、HashKey Exchange 等颁发零售牌照，可合法买卖 BTC/ETH	上海居民可赴港开户；需护照/KYC；可用每年 5 万美元外汇额度入金
全球交易所（配合 VPN）	Binance、OKX、KuCoin… 官方停止服务大陆，但许多用户仍用 VPN 登录	– 注册用海外邮箱/手机号- 仅用 P2P/USDT 入金；交易后立刻提币- 需自担风险

小贴士：若想“最合规”，赴港通过持牌交易所是当前最佳途径。

2. 在中国可访问的点对点（P2P）交易平台

平台	特点	常用支付方式
Binance P2P	用户量最大；需 VPN 与实名认证；卖家仍收 CNY	银行转账、支付宝、微信
OKX P2P	大量卖家；支持收付即到	同上
Paxful	无强制 KYC；支持数百支付方式	支付宝、微信、银行
LocalCoinSwap	去中心化托管；300+ 支付方式	支付宝、微信 等
CoinCola	港系 App，中文友好	支付宝、微信、银行
HODL HODL / Bisq	无 KYC，采用多签托管	取决于卖家

交易 Tips： 只选高信誉卖家；付款备注切勿出现“BTC/USDT”；大额拆单、留意时间窗口。

3. 场外（OTC）服务与经纪商

• 大陆私人 OTC：通过微信/电报对接，经纪人把 CNY 换成 USDT/BTC，溢价略高；单笔建议 ≤¥50 000 以降低银行风控
• 交易所商户网络：Binance、OKX 的“商家”私下继续做 OTC；流程：先转 CNY→USDT，再换 BTC。
• 香港实体 OTC 店：铜锣湾 / 尖沙咀等地大量比特币柜台，可现金/UnionPay 购币；游客常用

⚠️ 若走 OTC，一定先小额试单、确保对方信誉；不在付款备注写任何敏感词；资金到手立即转自托管钱包。

4. 加密对加密兑换（已有其他币换 BTC）

1. 先通过 P2P/OTC 获得 USDT → 转入交易所 → 交易对 BTC/USDT → 提币
2. 使用 去中心化交易所（DEX） 或 Thorchain 等跨链服务，USDT ↔ BTC
3. 与个人 P2P 做“币换币”——注意使用多签/第三方托管避免跑路

5. 主要支付方式

支付方式	优势	风险&对策
银行转账	金额大、实时到账	银行强监管；分批小额；勿写敏感备注
支付宝	便捷秒到	官方禁 crypto；用小额、多账号、避免高频
微信支付	同支付宝	同上；可用副号
现金面交	完全离线	风险高，建议仅小额、公共场合
其他	Wise/西联/礼品卡等	费用高、速度慢，少用

6. 安全提示与法律考量

1. 全程 VPN + 信息隔离；不要在微信公开讨论买币
2. 拆分交易：单笔 ≤¥10k（支付宝/微信）、≤¥50k（银行）更稳
3. 只用平台托管 & 高信誉卖家；不提前放行、不离平台私聊 
4. 付款备注 0 敏感词；可空白或写“付款”
5. 尽快提币到自有钱包（硬件最好），防平台停服
6. 关注政策：大额 OTC 或涉及电信诈骗款，可能被定性洗钱。普通小额个人买卖风险相对低，但仍需低调行事。

结语：大胆去做，谨慎前行 💪

尽管监管趋严，中国对比特币的需求仍在飙升。

选好渠道、分散风险、保护隐私，把握机会，你就能在上海稳稳拿下 BTC，让资产插上区块链的翅膀，飞得更高、更远！

在上海购买比特币的全攻略（2025 版，欢乐 & 干货！）

温馨提醒：以下内容仅供信息参考，不构成法律或投资建议。中国大陆对加密货币交易有严格限制，请务必自评风险并保持低调哦！

概览：当前中国的加密交易大环境

自 2017 年起（2021 年再度升级）的监管禁令关闭了所有大陆境内的中心化交易所。但个人持有比特币本身并不违法，因此一条“灰色通道”应运而生：大家通过 P2P、OTC、稳定币（USDT）乃至赴港开户等方式，依然源源不断地拥抱比特币。掌握好方法，你也能轻松上车！🎉

1. 政府“默许”或相对合法的通道

场景	说明	操作要点
香港持牌交易所（如 HashKey、OSL）	香港法规允许零售交易，平台正规合规	– 需亲赴香港或拥有港/海外账户- 严格 KYC，准备护照、住址证明- 用每年 5 万美元个人换汇额度入金
海外大型交易所 + VPN（Binance、OKX、Bybit…）	官网已对大陆 IP 显示“退出”，但很多人用 VPN 继续访问	– 必备稳定 VPN- 注册用海外邮箱/手机号- 只能走 P2P/OTC，无直接人民币入金

一句话总结：想要最合规？飞香港！想要最快捷？走 P2P！

2. 点对点（P2P）交易平台——大陆玩家的主战场 ✨

平台	特色 & 支付方式	小贴士
Binance P2P	全球最大流动性；卖家多、费率低	需 VPN；别在汇款备注写 “BTC”
OKX P2P	深耕华人市场；支付宝/微信收款多	同样用 VPN；优先选高信誉商家
Paxful	无强制实名，可用邮箱注册	首单先小额试水，熟悉流程
LocalCoinSwap / CoinCola	中文界面友好；300+支付方式	流动性稍低，选择高成交率卖家
HODL HODL	去中心化托管，多签保障	流动性一般，胜在匿名性

操作流程 3 步曲

1. 用 VPN 打开平台，挑选信誉 95%+ 的卖家
2. 选好金额与支付方式（支付宝 / 微信 / 银行转账）
3. 付款→确认→平台托管释放 BTC，秒到钱包！🎯

3. 场外（OTC）服务 & 经纪人

• 线下或微信/Telegram 私下撮合，通常先换成 USDT，再换 BTC。
• 价格略有溢价，胜在“大额”“一次谈定”。
• 建议：
  
  • 第一次小单试水 ➜ 彼此建立信任；
  • 使用不常用的“副卡”收付款，分批 < 5 万元/笔；
  • 收到币后立刻转到自有钱包，别长期留在经纪人钱包里。

4. “先有币，再换币”——加密对加密兑换

1. USDT→BTC：最常见路线。P2P 买 USDT，转入交易所现货区或 DEX，一键换 BTC。
2. DEX / 跨链协议：如 ThorSwap 支持直接把 USDT/ETH 换成原生 BTC，无需 KYC。
3. 原生链互换：若你早期就囤了 ETH、BNB，可用中心化交易所的币币交易对快速换成 BTC。

5. 支付方式全解析

支付方式	优点	风险提示
银行转账	金额大、到账快	银行监控严格；备注千万别提“币”
支付宝 / 微信支付	使用最广，转账秒到	官方明令禁币；控制金额 & 频次
现金面交 / 香港 OTC 店	匿名度高	携带现金风险高；请在人多或银行大厅交易
其他（Wise、电汇、礼品卡）	备选	手续费或汇率劣势，适合跨境场景

6. 安全 & 合规小锦囊 💡

1. VPN + 设备安全：正版、无日志 VPN；交易设备装正版杀毒软件。
2. 分散交易：大额拆小额，每笔 ≤ ¥50 k；不同渠道轮流用。
3. 不写敏感备注：付款备注留空或写“订单号”。
4. 用平台托管：P2P 一定走官方托管，勿私下放币。
5. 硬件钱包保管：交易完成即提币；冷钱包才是真安全。
6. 关注政策 & 社群：留意央行/媒体动态，及时调整策略。

激情鼓励 ✊

• 比特币无国界，去中心化的魅力就在于“总有办法”！
• 只要保持低调 + 合规思维，你完全可以在上海安心持币，拥抱未来！
