Title: Re: Spreading Bitcoin to....JAPAN??? Post by: MoonShadow on November 24, 2010, 04:33:13 PM If bitcoin was invented in Japan, maybe it should be popular in Japan? Why does everyone assume this? His name is Japanese, his race likely, but there is no reason to assume that his nationality is still Japanese even if it ever was. He is a very private person, with a much higher than average proficiency at English. Maybe Bitcoin isn't big in Japan because Satoshi doesn't care about Japan?

Still, it would be nice if the bitcoin website had a japanese translation. Title: Re: Spreading Bitcoin to....JAPAN??? Post by: MemoryDealers on July 14, 2011, 07:40:09 AM I put up the Japanese Language website at www.bitcoin.co.jp (http://www.bitcoin.co.jp)
The Japanese Language Forum is here: http://bitcoin.co.jp/forum/index.php (http://bitcoin.co.jp/forum/index.php) I would love to get some people to help contribute content. Any takers? Kiba...? anyone....? Title: Re: Spreading Bitcoin to....JAPAN??? Post by: Jaime Frontero on July 14, 2011, 07:53:45 AM Bitcoin should be popular in japan. and it's got nothing to do with Satoshi.
it should be popular because the japanese are always at the bleeding edge of tech. especially phone (Bitcoin for android...) tech. Title: Re: Spreading Bitcoin to....JAPAN???

I think that because they are on the edge of technology, they actually have several more realized alternatives. In the long run, bitcoin is a better system. In the short run, they have simpler methods of doing similar things. Like simple bank account to bank account transfers, and phone payment systems. I think bitcoin will beat these alternatives, but only when more fully formed. Title: Re: Spreading Bitcoin to....JAPAN???
