The past couple of weeks, our little Christmas helpers have kept busy preparing the 2nd Satoshi Christmas Flea Market Saigon - combined with our summer edition now making it the 4th event in a row, steadily turning into a regular get-together for the Bitcoin community and their friends in Saigon.

This time we anticipate an expanded vendor line-up, additional entertainment stations for the kids (our common future!), and of course your very own Satoshi Santa in full dress - always ready for a chat about his impressive family history. This year, we’ll have Photos with Santa- where kids can ask what they wish for, and adults can brag about taking a photo with Satoshi Santa.

For the juniors & the seniors - Satoshi Santa is always ready for a quick chat!
A sincere thank-you to all supporters so far - without you, this event simply wouldn’t be possible.
It lives and dies with the support of the community and its friends. Our gratitude goes out to everyone who, over the past weeks, contributed in word, deed, or Sats to bring all moving parts together for this final event in the Bitcoin event calendar in (South) East Asia.
- Date: 14th of December 2025
- Time: 01:00 PM to 06:00 PM ICT (Vietnam timezone)
- Location: Big Bếp (previously known as “Funk Factory”) in District 2
- Entrance: Free :)

To note:
This event is for people who share the Bitcoin ethos: honest money, long-term thinking, real community, and genuine value creation. If you’re here to push altcoins, quick-profit schemes, or extractive “crypto” hustle culture, this is not your space. Show up in good faith - or don’t show up at all.
Our current expected vendor line-up includes among others:
-
🎅🎂 Dresdner Christstollen (German Christmas Cake) Sophie’s Cake Heaven - Sophies Kuchenhimmel

🏢 Local and Expat Services (MyStorage - Saigon‘s leading storage service & SŨRF DÔM Vung Tau - Surf Camp Vietnam)

We expect 1–2 more vendors to join on short notice - keep an eye on our posts in the event group on Facebook, Twitter/X, and (of course) Nostr.
If you’re a potential vendor or know someone who fits the spirit of the event, please reach out. Space is getting tight and we’re close to “full house,” but if you’re genuinely committed to the cause, we’ll find a way to make room.
Booth fees are intentionally kept very low to stay accessible for people just getting started in business, hobbyists, and passion projects. We aim to encourage grassroots creators - not to gatekeep participation through high fees that only established commercial enterprises can afford.

Furthermore, we want to express our sincere gratitude to several sponsors from the wider Bitcoin ecosystem who stepped in and helped close a few remaining gaps in the budget:
Branta
We believe the best money deserves the best UX. Our mission is to build the best guardrails of all time - incorporating privacy, offering novel transparency, and staying protocol-adjacent. Branta offers a brutally simplistic, yet powerful way to push Bitcoin forward.

The exchange that does not want your money - and will guide (and consistently push) you into strengthening your self-custody game.
Also the company behind Vietnam’s locally built, sturdy, and state-of-the-art in-house Bitcoin ATMs, developed over the past five years.
Fedi
Fedimint is the first bitcoin-backed ecash protocol. Fedimint decentralizes trust across a federation of guardians, ensuring that no single guardian has complete control over user funds. Fedimint allows for various Federation configurations, each catering to a community’s specific needs and trust relationships.

Of course, we want to keep the event as community-based as possible and true to the “bottom-up” spirit of Bitcoin - peer-to-peer.
We have always aimed - and will continue to aim - to cover the majority of the budget through community donations. The broad support from local, regional, and global Bitcoiners is the key indicator if we’re on the right track and aligned with the broader orange mission.
This event is not organized “to make money,” but to strengthen the human layer of the Bitcoin Network - fostering more peer-to-peer connections between community members, vendors, service providers, growers, craftspeople, and everyone else who contributes to real, direct commerce within the community.
We thank everyone for their support so far and appreciate any further Sats coming our way to keep the event series ongoing and sustainable.
Please help us reach our goal to fully cover the event budget of 1,000,000 Sats.

Thank you for your consideration, and we hope to see you on the 14th - or, if you can’t make it this time at any of the future events in this series, should we be able to continue them!
Now spread the word so none of your orange frens in or around town miss out on the 14th! :)
