@taipeiblockchainweek 2025年度回顧：轉眼就第四年了。 TBW 第四屆正式落幕。趁著我們第一次團隊 off-site 之後，終於有一點時間，好好回顧這段旅程。 四年前開始籌辦的時候，其實我們誰都沒把握這條路能走多遠。每一年中，總會有那麼幾個瞬間，我真的懷疑這是不是最後一屆。 我們的團隊成員平時都有自己的全職工作，只能抽空處理 TBW 的事，單純是希望能讓世界看見台灣的web3潛力、價值與魅力—— 一個值得投資、參與與認識的地方。 還記得當初我們說：「如果能有 400、500 人參加就很棒了。」現在，TBW 已成為一場吸引超過 6,000 人參與的大會。 這一路真的不容易。我們的團隊雖小，但每一位都很優秀。大家也都是 perfectionists，默默承擔超出自己份內的工作，從不抱怨，常常怕麻煩到別人，選擇自己扛起 2–3 個人都做不完的雜事。 所以今天，我想好好介紹幕後的 TBW 團隊： @aphxbt — Design / Production Lead 你看到的 logo、設計、舞台視覺、創意風格，全都是他一一設計與把關的。 @ctkaren_430 — Sponsorship Lead 讓 TBW 能順利舉辦，也讓每一位贊助商都感受到我們的重視與誠意，成為長期的合作夥伴。 @eason.hu.tw — Partnerships Lead 也是 TBW 裡最大的 team，與 @vickie_mengmeng @jsp_tsai @manesh_jl @mujou0612 以及更多貢獻者協力完成KOL/貴賓邀請、簽證處理與參與者體驗規劃。 @rinniechuang — PR / Side Events Lead 處理對外 PR、財務與 Side Events，讓每一位與會者在 TBW 期間都有互動與活動參與的空間。 @ginaszieber — Operations Lead 負責管理所有自動化流程、報名系統與贊助商需求，確保活動現場順利運作。 @negaton10 — Legal Lead 守護整場大會的法律安全，確保我們的每一位來賓都能安心參與。 @6uuuci — Government Lead 協助我們這個華僑居多的團隊，爭取更多與政府合作的機會。 @joseph880726 — Social / Merch Lead 今年新加入的夥伴，負責周邊商品與社群經營，讓講者與贊助商都能被好好 spotlight 到。 除此之外，還有很多很多我來不及一一列出名字的支持者與貢獻者。 我們雖然不像其他大會有豐富的資源，但我們都很努力，用心去做，盡我們所能，為台灣打造一場最有溫度的國際級盛會。 謝謝每一位來參與、支持與鼓勵我們的人。 你們的幫忙與推廣，讓我們所有的辛苦都值得。 今年還做得不夠完美的地方，我們會持續改進，明年做得更好。 2026 年，台北見。

Last year, @aphxbt and I were thinking about how to evolve the @taipeiblockchainweek . How can we use character-driven storytelling to further our goal of making blockchain more accessible, more creative, and more relatable? That’s how BABY BLO$$OMS was born, our first TBW mascot inspired by the Taiwanese plum blossom, and a fun way to personify Web3 for a new generation. I teamed up with my little sister @izzalai , a nurse who’s always wanted to work in children’s publishing. I’ve spent the last few years building community, brands, and storytelling in crypto, and this gave us a rare opportunity to create something together. With the support of the Taipei Blockchain Week and @onboardtheworld_official , we created ABCs of Blockchain: a rhyming A–Z adventure through crypto concepts, designed for Web3 parents and curious kids alike. It’s playful, educational, and filled with Easter eggs for the crypto-native reader. If you're coming to TBW this year, you’ll find copies onsite. If you’d like to support the project, you can learn more and pre-order the book here: /abcs-of-blockchain Thanks for helping us bring blockchain to life one bedtime story at a time. 🌸

Bear-market building

Moving to Hawaii from the Bay made me rethink how I see Taiwan, tech, and community. Among local Hawaiians, identity is deeply protected and lived. There is a spiritual undercurrent rooted in ancestry, culture, and place. For a place that became a U.S. state, identity is layered and complex. As a Taiwanese American, I understand that instinct, the desire to define yourself on your own terms and preserve language, culture, and perspective. Being here reminded me that identity is lived in the food, the land, the stories, and the way people treat each other. What it means to ‘live in Aloha’ reminds me of ‘台灣人情味.’ If communities want to thrive in the age of AI and new technology, access to knowledge matters more than ever. The real opportunity is helping more people learn, build, and participate, not just consume what others create. Long-term strength comes from investing in people. When you care deeply about where you are from, you build differently. You build to protect. You build to elevate. You build to show the world what your home is capable of. If you visit Hawaii, I highly recommend volunteering at an ʻĀina Day. It’s a great experience and a chance to give back to the land while learning about Hawaii’s rich history and culture. There are many organizations doing meaningful work, like @nationofhawaii , that are helping share what it means to care for the land and preserve local history.

And just like that, the (self-imposed) sabbatical comes to an end. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to leave work behind when it takes up so much of one’s life and identity. For a few months, I got a glimpse of it — and it was wonderful. A good reminder that there’s much more to life than work. Until then, it’s time to go back to the grind.
