While after the joyous event of Bali last month we were all already looking forward to the next gathering in Southeast Asia, the organizers behind \u201cBeyond Lightning 2024\u201d<\/a> ended the week with a damper for Bitcoiners in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

The eagerly anticipated second edition of the Bitcoin purist gathering in Da Nang, which last year saw the come-together of \u201cbig name\u201d Bitcoiners from overseas such as Jimmy Song, Liz Stark and Peter Todd as well as all the regional Bitcoin key players and enthusiasts, WILL NOT TAKE PLACE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the announcement published on the Bitcoin Saigon community page<\/a>, the key reasons mentioned behind this decision were the outsized workload of organizing an event at such scale and quality while more often than not having to take a financial loss to keep the event pure from \u201cextractive shitcoinery\u201d<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Neutronpay Founder and CEO Albert Buu:<\/p>\n

\"Albert<\/p>\n

\u201cI regret to announce that we will not be able to host our much-anticipated Bitcoin Lightning Conference<\/a> in Vietnam this year. This decision, though difficult, is made with the best interests of our community and supporters in mind. However, we are excited and fully committed to making the 2025 edition of the conference a landmark event. We at Neutronpay appreciate your understanding and continuous support, and look forward to exploring the endless possibilities of Bitcoin Lightning together in 2025.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

While \u201csad news\u201d for the domestic Bitcoiners, it allows them to focus their travel resources on heading on over to the Bitcoin events in Bangkok and Bali which are both poised to take place again in 2024.<\/p>\n

The organizers ended their note with \u201cmaybe we\u2019re back for more in Vietnam by 2025\u201d – <\/i>so there remains the possibility that also Vietnam\u2019s shores will be graced once more by a proper Bitcoin event from Bitcoiners for Bitcoiners.<\/p>\n

If you missed out on Da Nang 2023 and\/or want to relive the moments, some of the Lightningcon 2023 footage can still be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
