🇻🇳 Pho, iced coffee and invisible dollars: inside Vietnam’s stablecoin economy

I spent time in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang reporting on how U.S. dollar stablecoins are being used in everyday life. From freelancers getting paid in USDT to OTC brokers moving six-figure sums over iced coffee.

Edward Snowden, speaking in 2015:

"When you say I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide, that's no different than saying I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say, or freedom of the press because I have nothing to write."

I recently concluded my time at Cryptonews, where I led the Asia desk and worked with an excellent team of journalists. I’m now exploring new opportunities across journalism, editing, and content roles in the crypto/Web3 space. DMs open.

Edward Snowden: "Both Apple and Android devices unfortunately are not especially good in protecting your privacy.

"Every phone, even when the screen is off you think it's doing nothing, but it's screaming 'Here I am'."

"They can see everything about you. They can see everything about what your device is doing, and they can do whatever they want with your device."

[Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) @internetfreedom]

Folks, we talk a lot about donations and ask you to chip in from a place of genuine need. We are truly grateful for all the love and support. Increased interest has brought in about ₹3,89,500 in donations, and over the last thirty days our total donations were just ₹5,53,547.

Do not get us wrong. It is heartening, but it still falls well short of our monthly costs. For example, in November we spent ₹8,34,169 while receiving only ₹2,70,654. This gap is often covered by fundraisers (like Krupa’s birthday fundraiser) and by larger donors through yearly gifts, but it still creates financial insecurity and makes our work harder in many ways. Some months, we also work on issues that are critical but do not get as much visibility as Sanchar Saathi.

We do a lot more than tweet (which we also take very seriously), like filing literally hundreds of RTIs, dozens of cases for strategic reforms and participating in public consultations to represent the ordinary India. Truly, to fight for our constitutional values as our world gets more digitised.

IFF needs sustainable forms of funding from Indians like you so we can grow to match the range of challenges to our digital rights. You can help by chipping in today, signing up as a member (we just have 204 right now), or setting up a monthly or a yearly mandate. Please do circulate this post and help us.

I talked to @kevinolearytv and Bitzero CEO Mohammed Bakhashwain about what's pushing the Bitcoin mining industry to go green. Link to the full interview.

[Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful @kevinolearytv]

Most people think Bitcoin mining is wasteful, I see it differently. At BitZero, we use overabundant clean energy to turn excess power into lasting value.

Mining forces efficiency, drives innovation, and makes grids cleaner. For countries that embrace it, the net benefit is clear, sustainable power and long-term returns.
