We would like to thank all our donors who helped us fill the Lì Xì for this years campaign - without your support, this community-driven initiative would not be possible to sustain.
Special thanks once again to
for the initial inspiration and ongoing technical support - what started in Hong Kong many years ago has swept over to our community in #Vietnam & been running now for the 5th year in a row!
Furthermore we would like to express special thanks to our sponsors who helped to fill up the funding gap for this years campaign on short notice:

Following the example set by the good folks of the Bitcoin Association Hong Kong ( https://www.bitcoin.org.hk/ ), our annual Li Xi campaign goes into it's 5th round.
The plan:
600 🧧 - filled with 1,000 Sats each.
Handed out across the city (and beyond) by our steady crew of orange frens to leave no orange-pill opportunity unseized.
To redeem the 1,000 Sats - a Lightning Wallet is required. 🙂
For many recipients it might be the first real interaction with Bitcoin.

The final budget accounting for the Satoshi Christmas Flea Market Saigon 2025
As we added some more attractions for the kids, the initial budget estimation was slightly exceeded.
As a result, the community treasury had to cover 77,070 Sats of the event costs from our remaining reserves.
We are grateful for all the support we have received from every donor and sponsor to help making this event possible!
We would like to continue our work in 2026 - so your continued support is highly appreciated!

The Bitcoin Saigon Flea Market is coming once more to town this Christmas - and we are looking for your support.
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?
- Spread the word :-)
If you know people for which this event might be an interesting fit - send'em along
- Visit!
...if you are in town by chance, come'on by and have a chat with the local Bitcoiner crew assembled!
- 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!

"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."

As we're recovering from all the hectic event orga in recent weeks, we would also would like to a give a shout out once again to all our donors who helped to make this event possible.
As we intentionally keep the booth vendor fees at a very low cost to keep the event accessible and community-based to allow also small home-based craft- & artisanal food makers to display their wares...
...we are dependent on the goodwill of the wider community to support these events to keep them sustainable as a regular gathering space for the local Bitcoin community...
...and "promising pre-coiners" who do good work for the wider community, but might not (yet) have fully taken the orange pill
To state it differently:
This whole event was made possible by anon plebs from around the world who over the previous weeks used the power of the Bitcoin & Lightning network to support the orange cause in 🇻🇳- entirely permissionless.
"wHaT cAn bItCoIn bE uSeD fOr?!?" finds an answer right here.
A real world event with real world impact made possible and powered by Bitcoin - donated by dozens of anon donors globally, from a few Sats to more sizeable amounts.
We also would like to thank the ⚡️infrastructure & service providers
&
who made it really simple to spread the awareness of the event & accept donations - the tooling build by these teams played a decent role to make the event the success it was.
A special shout out also to our sponsor
who jumped in to help fill some of the remaining budget gap - another team that is building Lightning infrastructure at the cutting edge over here in Asia
We hope to see you around for more at the Christmas Flea Market 2025 - follow along for how you can support or ideally join in in person!🙂

This week we updated our merchant list on our page.
Now with a direct integration to
- and a (severely) reduced list of "qualified merchants".
As everyone who's tried "orange-pilling merchants" knows - turnover is brutal.
Shops close, owners stop bothering... - our static merchant page essentially constantly outdated = just not a reliable guide anymore!
As the overhead of maintaining a static and reasonably accurate merchant list became too high, we rather support from here on out the efforts of BTCMap - and so you should you!
BTCMap is a free and open source project (FOSS) and fully relies on donations and sponsorship to continue.
If you like what they're doing - consider throwing them a few Sats.
We will still keep a "qualified merchant" list around for merchants which have lasted for more than two years at a minimum (which is right now rather thin!).
But better a clean short list, than a long wrong list with many outdated listings!
Thanks once more for the advice and assistance to Leo Weese and the #BTCMap team who has been dedicating the past couple of years to bring this project to the clean & professional level it is now! 🙌
Some insanely good-looking craft works on their way to the Saigon Summer Satoshi Flea Market :-)
