The price of Bitcoin increased from $18,000 to $21,000 on Jan. 14 and has moved sideways since then. The prices of many other cryptocurrencies, including ETC, Aleo, Kat and ERG have also risen this month. Thien Binh, a seller of cryptocurrency mining rigs in Vietnam, said that people had been buying a lot of second-hand Asic brand rigs to mine Doge over the past week. On average, an old Asic Baikal G28 model costs VND13 million ($550.8), one-third the cost of a new machine. If the current Doge price of $0.08 remains unchanged for months, miners will break even after 9-10 months. A veteran miner said: "We are buying more rigs because mining is still easy now.

Binh Minh, who owns many rigs in the southern province of Dong Nai, said some people have heavily invested in installing big networks of rigs to mine ETC and Bitcoin.

Jungle-inspired penthouse brings the tropics indoors
A multi-generational family lives in this penthouse overlooking the Saigon River in HCMC's Thu Duc City. The apartment's west-facing exterior, however, is extremely susceptible to solar glare. The architect's solution was to build two horizontal layers of space into the apartment, filling one with foliage to create an urban rainforest that blocks the light.
