Little Hodler goes Vietnam – special edition

The team of BitcoinVN Shop is glad to announce our newest collaboration with the team behind the well-known Bitcoin mascot “Little HODLer”, an idea brought to life by nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgx86v5h9cuc6nfqe45mr2z9r9tvc99zayr945dglksctsszdxyn0vmtwnl2 .

Since then, the adventures of Little HODLer and his friends have captured a large and sympathetic audience within the global Bitcoin community, as Little Hodler manages to accurately reflect many of the moments, feelings, and motivations that most Bitcoiners experience along their journey from fiat-enslaved normie to self-sovereign stacker of the Orange Coin.

Now Little HODLer has arrived in Vietnam – in the form of a limited special edition, with only 210 units ever produced.

Little Hodler quickly adapted to local life: shaded from the scorching tropical sun under a traditional Vietnamese nón lá, enjoying a hearty loaf of bánh mì – all the while spreading the orange gospel with his familiar mix of fun and joy.

As Lina is herself another European exilant who left the €Urozone for greener pastures and a more promising and hopeful future in Bitcoin Country, El Salvador, this partnership also represents another step in our ongoing efforts to build bridges from Vietnam to El Salvador (see also: https://bitcoinvn.io/shop/el-salvador-satscard/).

*The team of BitcoinVN Shop will donate 2.1% of the total proceeds from Little HODLer sales to community and charitable causes – split between initiatives in El Salvador and the domestic Bitcoin community in our hometown of Saigon, Vietnam.

Finding your way to buy your first Bitcoin is just the first step on the journey - getting to secure your own Bitcoin is what makes all the difference from TradFi and the broken money we've gotten far too accustomed to.

Our Quarter 3 (2024) report on the hardware wallet sales numbers in #Vietnam.

Unsurprisingly, in an environment such as Vietnam which tends to have a very "pragmatic" approach when it comes to cryptocurrency, the market is still dominated by Ledger which is the brand the "common cryptocurrency user" in Vietnam knows and trusts.

The OG's from #Trezor keep hovering around close to the 20% market share mark.

More dedicated devices to secure Bitcoin holdings for the long-term (#Coldcard by Coinkite & Blockstream Jade) remain below the 10% market share.

These numbers are well within the expectation given the "learning curve" and deeper understanding of Bitcoin in the general population at this point in time.

We've got some nice hand-made crotcheted figures in our shop - created by one of our local friends in the community in Saigon 👀

Slow & steady stacking wins the race.
