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!

Support Bitcoin Saigon with a donation
The original Bitcoin community in Saigon
...post-event about 50% of the budget target got covered by community donations - we thank everyone for participating & supporting to keep the event series going & sustainable 🙏
...walk around the premises to assure everything will be in its place and our vendors & visitors have a good experience 🙏
...and we are currently still behind our budget goals, so if you have some Sats to spare - Saigon Bitcoin community highly appreciates 🙏
...by the masterful 
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!
Some impressions from the Christmas Flea Market 2024:
(...build your local pleb network & skip the global hubs: 
We would like to thank once more all our donors & supporters who helped us to make the third Satoshi Flea Market Saigon possible 🙌
We hope to be back for more around Christmas :)
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 
A special shout out also to our sponsor 
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!🙂
Our crew will recover & reassemble in the days ahead and share some more pictures soon - if you got any, feel free to share (but please respect the privacy of people who have not opted-in to be photographed :) )
