Wow. Amazing. This is good news! I believe that future of whole world depends on future of Asia. Such countries as China, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore and India have the strong influence on the american bitcoin market.

china 2

Bit coin finding new markets is always a good thing. And no it isn't China 2. For starters Vietnam doesn't have nearly the population of China and could never drive demand like China did. Vietnam trying to manipulate pricing would be scoffed at.

Is their much of a BTC community in Vietnam or any shops/bars etc that take it ?
Any websites that have this info regarding BTC/Vietnam or Asia in general ??
Things are starting to pick up here in Australia..... like the BTC ATM... I have issues with it.. but that's irrelevant at the moment..

Well, it surely is rather interesting to see an exchange open in Vietnam, it's probably the last place I'd expect an exchange to open in.
