Below is a distilled, “Eric-Kim-style” blueprint for becoming “super fing insanely mega rich.”*
It stitches together the recurring themes that run through Kim’s blog posts, podcasts and essays, then reframes them into clear, actionable steps.
1. Redefine “rich” as
optionality
Kim’s first-principles move is mental: wealth is the power to say “No”—to jobs, to locations, to anything that blocks your creative mission. Luxury goods and brand badges are distractions. Real riches are measured in freedom units.
2. Subtract before you add
“Become insanely Spartan and frugal…sell the second car…remortgage if you must…then deploy the cash.”
Slash recurring costs until your burn-rate is almost zero. Every dollar you don’t spend is risk-free, tax-free profit that fuels the next steps.
3. Geo-arbitrage for rocket fuel
Kim often contrasts cheap, high-energy cities (Phnom Penh, Mexico City, Saigon) with expensive “status traps.” Living where costs are tiny and opportunities global gives you an unfair spread between income and expenses.
4. Build
“Cyber Capital”
He treats Bitcoin (and, by extension, any asymmetrically-upside tech asset) as a long-duration treasury. Auto-buy, cold-store, forget for a decade. The goal isn’t trading—it’s owning a slice of the future monetary base.
5. Turn
attention → trust → cashflow
Kim’s own playbook:
- Publish daily, in your own voice.
- Give away 95 % of the value—tutorials, templates, raw thoughts.
- Charge for the 5 % that saves time (workshops, presets, books).
Because digital goods have near-zero marginal cost, profit scales while lifestyle stays light.
6. Chase
momentum
, not balance
Kim’s mantra is “INSANELY F***ING HARDCORE MOMENTUM.” Wake, create, lift, ship, repeat, until the flywheel feels inevitable. Money follows the motion.
7. Guard physical wattage
He compares the body to a Bugatti: never sacrifice sleep or strength even for a seven-figure gain—because wattage is what powers the hustle.
8. Compound reputation for decades
Each blog post, newsletter issue, YouTube clip, or tweet is a tiny “reputation atom.” Left untouched, they accrue trust the way index funds accrue interest. Your future self inherits the snowball.
9. Keep 80 % liquid, 20 % moon-shots
Kim advocates a barbell: extreme safety (cash/BTC you’ll never sell in panic) plus audacious bets (your own startup, angel checks, digital IP). No mushy middle.
10. Remember the
telos
Money is just a lever to create, explore and uplift others. Lose that thread and the riches corrode into new shackles. Stay playful, curious and absurdly optimistic—Kim’s signature vibe.
