Founder - Oh Taemin
He is a prominent expert in cryptocurrency, dedicated to sharing his knowledge and insights. In 1993, he published The Order of Margin, which predicted a new social structure driven by networks and decentralized systems. After discovering Bitcoin in 2014, he released Bitcoin Is Strong just two months later and has spent over a decade writing and lecturing on the topic. In 2015, he founded the Bitstone Project to advocate for cryptocurrency adoption among enterprises. In 2022, he launched the BTCMobick project, aimed at educating and engaging the general public about cryptocurrency.
Korea’s First-Generation Bitcoiner & Bitcoin Philosopher
Oh Taemin is widely regarded as one of South Korea’s earliest and most influential Bitcoin thinkers. Since encountering Bitcoin during the Mt. Gox hack in 2014, he has pioneered the public discourse on its monetary and philosophical implications in Korea.
Unlike many who approach Bitcoin purely as a technological innovation, Oh frames it as a profound monetary phenomenon—one that reshapes individuals, nations, and civilizations alike.
“When viewed through a humanistic and geopolitical lens, Bitcoin reveals not just its philosophical depth but also its practical inevitability.”

The Founder Who Owns Zero BTCMobick
While many crypto projects rely on founder-held tokens and VC-backed dumping schemes, Oh took a radically different path. He publicly declared that he owns—and will never own—even a single unit of BTCMobick.
Out of the 21 million total supply, 70% was allocated as public goods, with the remainder distributed only to those who completed mission-based airdrops. No VC allocations, no early investor privileges.
BTCMobick is the world’s first blockchain project fundamentally immune to founder-led dumping risks.
The true mystery of Bitcoin isn’t that it surpassed $100,000—but that it ever surpassed $1.
