2014 flyer from one of the very first Bitcoin meetups in Saigon
Officience & Bitcoin Vietnam ("BitcoinVN") are still around, just UBER has left the scene in Vietnam many years ago after losing the local market to South-East Asian competitors.

#BitcoinTokyo2024 is a wrap.
The event was certainly the most technical-oriented Bitcoin conference in Asia this year - all the way from various scaling proposals to make your Sats move super-fast & private up to the current best practices on key management to keep your stack lasting for generations.
The #Lightningmarche next to the main stage was a special highlight.
Now, that the travels are over - our crew will re-focus to bring about the next Satoshi Flea Market Saigon soon 👀

After adding up all costs and the income shared by the vendors, the organization of the inaugural Satoshi Flea Market ended with a loss of ~ - 98,000 Sats. 🧮✍️🫡
While we will be able to handle it out of the Community Treasury thanks to past donations:
If you would like to send a few Sats over to help us keep making these events happening, it is highly appreciated :)
