Moonlight, Connection, and Community: HiBT’s Mid-Autumn Celebration in Vietnam

Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam is a season of lanterns, mooncakes, and reunion. Families gather, children parade with bright paper lanterns, and the moon becomes a symbol of completeness and gratitude.

This year, the celebration took an unexpected shape when HiBT, a blockchain-focused company, organized a Mid-Autumn gathering that blended tradition with community care.

A Celebration of Connection, Not Technology

On October 2, 2025, HiBT hosted a Mid-Autumn Festival event in Ho Chi Minh City under the theme “Connection and Sharing.”

The gathering took place aboard the Bến Thành Princess, a cruise boat gliding along the Saigon River. More than 100 attendees — creators, partners, and long-time users — came together to share dinner and stories under the night sky.

The remarkable part of the evening wasn’t the venue or the number of guests.

It was what wasn’t there.

No charts.

No screens.

No performance slides.

Instead, conversations began with simple questions like “What brought you here?” or “What does Mid-Autumn mean to you?” People discussed life, family traditions, personal goals, and even fears about how fast the digital world is moving.

At one moment, a HiBT representative shared a line that set the tone for the evening:

“Technology connects us, but kindness makes us grow together.”

It was a reminder that innovation is impressive, but connection is meaningful.

Sharing the Light: A Charity Gesture Beyond the Celebration

For HiBT, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not only about gathering — it was also about giving.

In the days surrounding the event, volunteers visited families and children in Ho Chi Minh City, delivering mooncakes and gift sets. Each package carried a simple message of care:

You are seen. You are remembered.

The gifts weren’t luxurious or extravagant. But they were personal — especially for the children who may not have expected a celebration at all.

A team member explained:

“Innovation pushes us forward, but responsibility brings us closer.”

This gesture is part of a wider pattern. Throughout the year, HiBT teams and volunteers travel to communities in Hà Giang, Quảng Ngãi, Ninh Thuận, and Cà Mau, offering support through scholarships, food donations, and elderly care.

The idea isn’t charity for publicity — it is consistency through action.

Their philosophy could be summarized as:

technology with a heart.

Conversations About Safety and Trust in the Crypto Space

During the cruise, discussions naturally shifted toward personal experiences with technology. Vietnam has one of the fastest-growing digital asset communities in Asia, and many attendees shared stories about navigating this new landscape.

Instead of promoting any specific platform, participants exchanged practical insights on how to choose a safe crypto exchange — especially important in a market with endless new platforms.

Here are the thoughtful considerations that surfaced from those conversations:

• Verify legitimacy.

Choose platforms with clear registrations and regulatory oversight.

• Prioritize security.

Look for features like cold-wallet fund storage and multi-signature protection.

• Check community experience.

A platform that invests in education and user support tends to build trust.

• Avoid hype.

Reputation isn’t built through marketing — it’s built through action and consistency.

These weren’t investment instructions.

They were reflections from real people who have learned through experience.

HiBT’s Human-Centered Approach

While HiBT operates in the digital asset and blockchain space, the event revealed something deeper about the organization. The evening on the river showed that for them, technology is a tool, not the destination.

HiBT continues to participate in tech gatherings, workshops, and blockchain events across Vietnam, but the Mid-Autumn celebration demonstrated that progress does not have to disconnect us from humanity.

At its core, their message was simple:

• Technology builds systems.
• People build community.

A Final Reflection Under the Moonlight

Mid-Autumn Festival reminds us that even in a world driven by information and digital acceleration, the human need for connection never changes.

On that evening, lanterns floated on the river, mooncakes were shared hand-to-hand, and strangers became part of a temporary family. The night wasn’t about innovation — it was about intention.

And sometimes, the most meaningful impact technology can have

is when it steps back and lets people simply be together.
