21,000 Sats for Proof-of-Pizza in the upcoming week

The team of Italiani’s has written a lot of important and pioneering Bitcoin history in Vietnam. Not only are they the host to the first Bitcoin ATM in Vietnam, but also the merchant in which the first-ever Lightning transaction for physical goods on Vietnamese ground took place.
Let’s do our part on keeping this for the Vietnamese Bitcoin community’s historical business alive. Go out and enjoy your Pizzas! 🙂
