Spicy Review｜Is the "Most Emotionally Valuable" Post Here? Could STRC Be the Next LUNA?
Here is an English summary of the article (under 1500 characters):
This article from the spicy commentary series "LaPing" covers three key stories in the crypto world for the week.
First, during a sharp market downturn in June where BTC fell over 20%, a Reddit post on r/Cryptocurrency rallying against "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)" went viral. The comment section became a hub for retail traders to share memes and encouragement, with many advocating holding (HODLing) through the volatility, embodying the "be fearful when others are greedy" mantra.
Second, it examines the situation with STRG (Strategy's perpetual preferred stock), which has "de-pegged," trading around $76 vs. its $100 face value, a ~25% discount. The concern is whether Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, can sustain the $1.2 billion annual dividend payment, given its ~$1.4 billion cash reserve. While analysts note STRG is fundamentally different from the catastrophic LUNA collapse—as Saylor isn't obligated to pay the dividend—risks remain. If MicroStrategy's (MSTR) common stock investors feel their capital is being prioritized for STRG dividends, it could hurt MSTR demand.
Third, the article analyzes the online persona of "Chuan Mu," a trader famous for turning $500 into $1 million during the 2023 ORDI inscription boom and again with short positions in 2025. An analysis of his 1,828 tweets reveals his success stems from a top-down analytical framework, asking systemic questions like "Where will the bottleneck be in the AI supply chain?" rather than chasing individual pumps. His investments migrated from crypto-linked stocks to AI infrastructure plays like SK Hynix and Samsung. However, the piece also notes criticism that he has occasionally "pumped" assets and sold positions without notifying followers, creating a contradictory public image.
The weekly recap highlights themes of community sentiment during bear markets, financial instrument risks, and the complex realities of following influential online traders.
