IOSG创始人Jocy:东方加密社区不能永远是Meme,东方社区需要一场燎原之火

最近刚好看到天行健的故事,百日维新变法历历在目,难以想象在清朝那样的朝代还有一些年轻人愿意冒着被杀头的风险追随光绪皇帝,在王朝内部推崇领先上百年的新法,师夷长技以制夷,不顾个人安危,倡导学习西方改革律法。虽然最终的结果失败了,但他们的精神和行动留下了浓墨重彩的一笔。这样的年轻人和先行者,成为了后人敬仰的榜样。

这些年轻人的精神在今天的加密世界同样重要。当前,许多从业者振臂高呼,苦“西方列强”久已,但实际上却是左手 Restaking 套娃挖矿,右手流动性池抢跑,在推特上不停的发冲 meme/土狗。每个人都知道症结所在,但是都妥协于当下的利益。东西方加密社区目前都在炒作 meme 的疯狂状态中,meme 就像鸦片,是一种西方鸦片的输入,目前 BN 头部的 meme 都来自西方。创业者和社区 builder 会因为这样的噪音而迷失,东方加密社区深陷 meme 炒作。许多创业者看到 meme 的成功之后,会开始重新怀疑自己的创业方向以及奋斗的初衷。我认为创业者应该抵制 meme,不应该把创业方向转向 meme,并且流水线作业去炒作 meme!

我们需要脚踏实地与仰望星空并重的年轻人,尤其是那些能够肩负起东方加密理想的创业者。这样的年轻人不应只在这个牛市或上个牛市做着交易相关的事情,而应专注于 infra 和协议的建设,营造更好的社区氛围。而不是让那些有志创业的开发者和年轻人,每天沉浸在各种 meme 致富的故事。

重申立场,我不反对在这个市场上推崇 meme 至上的交易者,我个人从 2013 年开始从社区得到 dogecoin,并且过去一直很喜欢这个社区,但是我不希望 meme 的交易者成为中文社区最主流的一派。自 ETF 通过之后,我明显感觉到美国和欧洲的创业者迅猛涌现,他们得到了美国基金充沛的资本支持,与此同时有些美国大牌基金在内部称不投中国的 Web3 创业者。加密时代东西方似乎从技术到社区都开始出现巨大的不同和分歧,西方技术不断涌现之际,东方加密社区却陷入 meme 炒作的热潮,这显然不是一个健康的发展趋势。

meme 炒作有一定的彩票效应,后来者中奖概率会是一直往下降,同时如鸦片般的 meme ,会让早期受益的人形成路径依赖,更多的人为 meme 在社区中代言(类似买办),社区容易不断强化这样的赚钱路径,但是这并不能让我们的技术协议和社区更加独特和强大。早期参与者或许能从中获利,但这种短视行为,这场赌博游戏,以及暴富的传说,终将让这场泡沫破灭,成为东方加密市场的灾难,重演上一个牛市周期 NFT 的故事。大多数一线的东方创业者,我始终相信他们会坚持在一线创业,在 infra 或者应用的乐高中找到属于自己的那一块积木,和西方主流的协议齐头并进甚至独领风骚。

或许加密市场不应该分东西方,这是一个去中心化运行的世界。过去几个周期我们看到了东西方创业者的众生相:西方创业者的成功是有原因的,MakerDAO 创始人 Rune Christensen 在 Web3 创业多年,成功地在美国宏观高利率和加密货币熊市环境下大幅提升了其协议收入,今年 3 月份更是推出了 Endgame 计划和多种 SubDAO,其中包括专注于借贷协议的 Spark SubDAO;EigenLayer 创始人在 ETHDenver 期间每天的会议安排都已超负荷,为了亲自与合作伙伴交流,把每个会议都精简至 15/30 分钟的单位。可以看到在这个全球化竞争市场,许多创业者都在一线冲刺;Uniswap 创始人硬件工程师出身,自学 solidity 创造五十行精简代码,引领行业 Dex AMM 创新浪潮。他们一直专注于产品设计和协议理解,追求行业内的领先地位。东方创业者是最有韧性并且强大的群体,我们也看到很多翘楚,但是他们仍然需要社区给予更多的支持和正反馈,东方社区理应更加团结和强大,花时间讨论如何师夷长技以制夷,正视如何扶持更加强大的东方神秘社区力量,当社区和创业者凝聚共识,也会让协议带来更多的正反馈。

IOSG 作为亚洲起源的基金,我们将在这个周期投资和支持更多的华人创业者,帮助他们更好的走向西方市场,成为主流。你不可能想象在这个行业三五年后,这个行业的主流仍然是 meme。当我们在加密时代的浪潮,每个人都不可避免的成为弄潮儿,在时代的注脚下每个人也很渺小,但是不要忽视所有人都在喊应该投资 meme 给中文社区带来的负面能量。

总结:我们应该更加团结一致,共同面对未来的挑战,社区需要更高的理想和远见,需要有些人为东方社区的未来挺身而出。Crypto 不是只有 meme,还有很多基础设施和应用的机会等待被挖掘和探索,这些才是真正的行业 alpha。IOSG 将通过投资和支持走在前头的年轻人,推动行业和社区的长远发展,助力东方创业者在全球市场中崭露头角。

Base Halts for Two Hours: A Single Invalid Block Reveals the Centralized Reality of L2s

Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 Rollup, experienced a two-hour network outage starting around 00:03 UTC on June 26. The halt was caused by a consensus issue that led to an invalid block being sequenced, which prevented the generation of new blocks after block 47806542. The team identified the problem, restored block sequencing by 01:51 UTC, and confirmed full recovery of ecosystem infrastructure synchronization shortly after. This incident highlights the operational reality for many L2s: while they leverage Ethereum for security and data availability, their day-to-day usability heavily depends on their sequencer and internal systems. Base employs a high-availability sequencer system with one active leader, but this setup did not prevent the outage when a consensus-level problem arose. This follows a previous 33-minute outage in August 2025 related to a faulty sequencer handover process. The downtime occurred near the scheduled activation window for the "Beryl" network upgrade, which has since been postponed. Beryl introduces the native B20 token standard, among other improvements. The incident has sparked renewed discussion about Base potentially launching its own network token in the future, shifting the conversation from mere speculation to questions about how a token might relate to sequencer decentralization, governance, and accountability in such failure scenarios.

STRC Must Re-Anchor for a BTC Bull Market to Happen

Title: STRC's Depegging Threatens MicroStrategy's Bitcoin-Buying Machine, and Thus the BTC Bull Run Summary: The sustained depegging of MicroStrategy's priority share STRC (trading ~25% below its $100 target) is severely disrupting the company's core business model and poses a major risk to Bitcoin (BTC) price support. STRC was MicroStrategy's most efficient and low-cost funding tool, designed to allow continuous capital raises near its $100 par value to fuel relentless BTC accumulation. Its depegging has effectively blocked this primary funding channel. The situation creates a severe cash flow crisis. STRC and other priority shares now obligate MicroStrategy to pay approximately $1.7 billion in annual cash dividends, while the company's cash reserves are only about $1.4 billion — insufficient to cover one year of payments. To raise cash, MicroStrategy is increasingly resorting to issuing common stock (MSTR) through ATM offerings. However, recent raises show most proceeds (around 90% in one week) are now used to bolster cash reserves rather than buy Bitcoin. This dilutes the key metric of Bitcoin per MSTR share, eroding the fundamental value proposition for equity investors. The company faces grim alternatives: issuing high-cost debt or selling its massive Bitcoin holdings. The latter, though hinted at, would likely trigger significant negative market reactions. Conclusion: As BTC's largest corporate holder and a major marginal buyer, MicroStrategy's funding woes mean reduced, and potentially reversing, institutional buy-side pressure. The company has shifted from being a guaranteed source of BTC demand to a significant overhang on the market. The article argues that without STRC re-anchoring to restore its funding engine, a sustained BTC bull market is in jeopardy.

No Bull Market for BTC Without STRC Re-pegging

Summary: The sustained de-pegging of MicroStrategy's (MSTR) Strategy Preferred Shares (STRC) poses a severe threat to Bitcoin (BTC) and could prevent a bull market. STRC, designed to trade near a $100 target, has plunged to around $75, effectively shutting down MicroStrategy's cheapest and most efficient funding channel. This channel was critical for its "raise funds, buy BTC" business model. More critically, MicroStrategy now faces a massive cash outflow from these preferred shares. With approximately $10.49 billion of STRC outstanding at an 11.5% dividend yield, the annual cash obligation exceeds $1.2 billion. Combined with other preferred shares, the total annual payout nears $1.7 billion, depleting its current ~$1.4 billion cash reserve within a year. To address this, MicroStrategy is increasingly relying on common stock (MSTR) offerings via its ATM program. However, recent sales show most raised capital is now used to bolster cash reserves rather than buy more Bitcoin. This dilutes the key metric of BTC per share for common stockholders, eroding the foundation of its premium valuation. If STRC cannot re-peg, this costly dilution may continue. Worse, if cash pressure intensifies, selling Bitcoin becomes a real risk. As the largest corporate BTC holder (~847,363 BTC), any significant sales could crash the market. Thus, MicroStrategy is transforming from BTC's most reliable institutional buyer into a major potential seller, casting a significant shadow over Bitcoin's price prospects.
