An Intellectual Trajectory Since 1993
Professor Oh Taemin is a renowned expert in the cryptocurrency field, dedicated to sharing his knowledge and insights with a broad audience. As early as 1993, he published Order of the Margin, anticipating a new social structure driven by networks and distributed systems.
After encountering Bitcoin in 2014, he released Bitcoin Was Strong within just two months, and has continued writing and lecturing on Bitcoin for over a decade.
In 2015, he founded the Bitstone Project to accelerate enterprise adoption of cryptocurrency. In 2022, he launched the Mobick Project to help the broader public understand and participate in cryptocurrency.
A First-Generation Korean Bitcoiner and Bitcoin Philosopher
Oh Taemin is one of Korea's earliest Bitcoin thinkers, widely recognized for his humanistic interpretation of Bitcoin and his broad influence on the domestic crypto discourse.
After encountering Bitcoin through the 2014 Mt. Gox hack, he moved far beyond a purely technical view and has led Korea's public conversation on Bitcoin's economic and philosophical meaning.
While many see Bitcoin as a mere technical innovation, he interprets it as a profound "monetary phenomenon", one that restructures individuals, nations, and civilization itself.
"From a humanistic and geopolitical perspective, Bitcoin carries not only philosophical depth but also practical inevitability."
A Founder Who Owns Zero Mobick
While most crypto projects rely on founder allocations and VC-driven sell structures, Oh Taemin chose a fundamentally different path.
He has publicly declared that he does not, and will never, own a single Mobick.
Of the 21 million total supply, approximately 15.9 million have been allocated to public goods, and the remainder was distributed only to participants who completed the mission-based airdrop. There is no VC allocation and no early-investor privilege.
Mobick is structurally free from founder-led sell-off risk, a defining characteristic of the project.
