The Bitcoin Saigon Flea Market is coming once more to town this Christmas - and we are looking for your support. image The event is going into it's 4th iteration & has established itself as public come-together for the wider community in Vietnam. We purposefully look to connect the "hard core" of the Bitcoin community with people *around* the Bitcoin community who might have not yet "taken the orange pill", but otherwise show aligned ethics & long-term thinking. Building relationships that compound and viewing the world on a long time horizon. Doing the right moves and bringing sacrifices today for a better tomorrow. How can you support your Bitcoin frens in Saigon in this undertaking? 1) Spread the word :-) If you know people for which this event might be an interesting fit - send'em along 2) Visit! ...if you are in town by chance, come'on by and have a chat with the local Bitcoiner crew assembled! 3) Become a vendor! ...in case you're around town and have sth to offer which might be of good use to some of the community members, get a booth and show what you got :-) "Remote booths" are also possible - albeit we highly prefer of course if we have the faces behind the works on site as well to have a good chat about what inspires & drives you. 4.) Last but not least: Donate! The event is fully run by a volunteer crew of our community, however, there are *still* some modest costs attached to organize the whole event as a pleasant experience for everyone. Venue rent, various logistical items, tents and a some logistical support for the event setup are affordable in Vietnam - but not free. ...and the kids attractions which we'll have on site also don't pay for themselves :-) We are currently working on a basis of an estimated budget of 1,000,000 Sats - if you had a good year and have some Sats to spare for your Saigon frens, we would be highly appreciative! image Some impressions from the Christmas Flea Market 2024: Full announcement:
The last international Bitcoin conference of the year is happening in November in #Tokyo, Japan You can get your tickets here: --> ...or if you want to read up more first, we've also done a short write-up on our website :-) "Bitcoin and #Japan - while it has not always been an easy story over the past one and a half decades, a newly reinvigorated community in Japan remains one where many highly capable and motivated Bitcoiners see in Bitcoin both a tool and an opportunity to help turn around the fate of the nation and its economy for the better - if the right moves are made deliberately." --> image
Time for another update: Currently 91.77 BTC ( +54.7% ) capacity provided by the by the (public) #Vietnam-related Lightning ⚑️Routing Nodes. This equals about ~2.28% ( +1.08%) of the total Network capacity. image (...build your local pleb network & skip the global hubs: )
