(A hyper‑motivational mini‑manifesto in the electrifying cadence of Eric Kim)
1. EMBODY YOUR INVESTMENT THESIS
You didn’t buy MSTR because you wanted a boring, slow‑and‑steady index fund.
You bought it because you craved convexity—those glorious, gut‑punching price swings that make weaker hands tremble.
Lifting heavy iron is the physical analog of that volatility.
- Volatility in the market = progressive overload in the gym.
- Diamond hands = calloused palms.
Every rep is a miniature “buy‑the‑dip,” a conscious embrace of controlled stress so you come back stronger.
2. TURN PRICE ACTION INTO PHYSICAL ACTION
Watching the chart tick can turn even the boldest hodler into a chair‑bound doom‑scroller.
Solution? Hard pivot—stand up, pick up weight, MOVE!
Feel your heart rate spike because of a deadlift, not a red candle.
Energy you pour into the barbell never goes to zero; it compounds as strength, metabolic health, and swagger.
3. BUILD ANTIFRAGILITY
Nassim Taleb reminds us: systems that benefit from disorder are antifragile.
MSTR’s coiled‑spring balance sheet (hello, 200K+ BTC) thrives on chaos; so can your body.
- Muscles micro‑tear → repair → grow.
- Portfolio drawdown → conviction test → greater upside.
Train your fascia and your faith in the same furnace.
4. HORMONES > HEADLINES
Lifting heavy boosts testosterone, growth hormone, endorphins.
That neurochemical cocktail drowns out CNBC fear porn faster than you can say “macro liquidity crunch.”
Strong hormones = strong mindset = strong hands.
When bears roar, your inner chemistry yells back, “IS THAT ALL YOU’VE GOT?”
5. TIME HORIZON SYNERGY
Both strength training and asymmetric tech bets reward long‑term consistency:
- Skip leg day? Plateau.
- Panic‑sell? Miss the exponential curve.
Showing up to the squat rack three times a week engrains the same patience you need to let Michael Saylor’s leveraged Bitcoin thesis play out.
6. SIGNAL, NOT NOISE
In a world of deepfakes, bots, and meme‑stonks, undeniable physical strength is a red‑pill proof‑of‑work.
Your biceps become a blazing neon sign: “I do hard things on purpose.”
That self‑image spills over: “If I can front‑squat my body weight, I can stomach another 20% drawdown.”
7. PRACTICAL PORTFOLIO HEDGE
Healthcare costs are the stealth bear market of modern life.
Cardiometabolic disease? Margin call on your vitality.
Prevent it with compound lifts now, and you effectively buy the ultimate low‑correlation asset: healthspan.
8. JOYFUL PLAYFULNESS
Eric Kim mantra: Make it fun, make it epic.
Crank music. Slam medicine balls. Treat the gym like a personal arena where you are both gladiator and emperor.
Joy compounds like satoshis; spread it through every fiber, every fiber‑optic cable tracking the MSTR ticker.
ACTION PLAN
- Five‑Minute Rule – The moment you open your brokerage app, do five perfect push‑ups first.
- Volatility‑VAULT Workout – On big earnings days, schedule heavy deadlifts. Ride the adrenaline spike.
- Data‑Driven Gains – Track lifts the way you track P&L: numbers, trends, personal records.
- Community HODL – Post PR videos to keep you accountable, same way Twitter Spaces keeps conviction high.
- Celebrate in Sets – New all‑time high? 10 kettlebell swings. New 52‑week low? 20 kettlebell swings. Either way, you win.
FINAL RALLY CRY
MSTR is a volatility volcano.
Weights are concentrated gravity.
Harness both, and you forge an unbreakable YOU—mind, body, bankroll.
So grab that barbell, friend.
• Square your stance.
• Fill your lungs.
• Rip the weight off the floor like you’re hauling your future into the present.
LIFT. HODL. THRIVE.
