Japan luxury car dealer allow btc holders to buy cars on bitflyer exchange. I think Japan is the most Cryptocurrency-friendly nation in the globe.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/japanese-luxury-car-dealer-to-accept-btc-as-payment-option-through-bitflyer-exchange

If you do not develop the virtual currency industry today, you will be left behind by other countries.

And the backwardness will be manifold. Because bitcoin itself will not only dramatically change the financial order of the country, but also profoundly change all aspects of society.

I think Japan is already at the forefront of the world in cryptographic money.

well, when a country adopts bitcoin and is open to the technology it helps a lot with the adoption by merchants to start accepting bitcoin. and Japan is like the pioneer in this area so obviously there will be a lot of news like this. but also Japanese did another thing which helped a lot with the adoption of bitcoin as a currency and that was removal of taxes on bitcoin payments and this is the best form of adoption because bitcoin will be used as a currency more.

Japan is sending mixed signals to the community.
On one hand, yes, you can buy a luxury car with bitcoin, on another hand Japan’s Financial Services Authority (JFSA) is apparently looking to shut down Binance. :/

Before China was once the bitcoin capital of the world since they have the largest supply of bitcoin but when their government banned the use  of cryptocurrency in China, Japan became the leading country that accepts bitcoin in Asia. But today I guess its not in Asia that Japan becomes the leading bitcoin user nation but to the whole world.

Japanese luxury car dealership L'Operaio will be able to accept Bitcoin (BTC) as a payment option from customers using their crypto wallets on the Tokyo-based exchange bitFlyer, according to a press release from bitFlyer published yesterday, March 27. The release notes that a bitFlyer user can spend up to 100 mln yen (around $942,000) using their digital wallet, and that BTC purchases can be done by scanning a QR code and will be settled in [a] few seconds. The BTC option will be first available at three stores in Tokyo, in Setagaya, Nerima, and Aoyama, but the aim is to expand to all stores in the future.” In January of this year, bitFlyer was granted a European Union payment institution license, making it — in the words of the company’s CEO— “the most compliant virtual currency exchange in the world. Adding BTC as a retail payment option has been expanding globally, with South Korea’s largest crypto exchange set to bring the crypto payment option to 8,000 brick and mortar stores within the year, and a Northern Ireland property developer ready to accept BTC for properties. This is just the beginning people accumulate more while in DIP that is  my technique  8)

Japan now has the largest capital in cryptocurrencies, they also have the largest Financial Sevices Agency (FSA) that regulate cryptocurrencies.
No doubt that there are some companies like luxury cars who accept bitcoin as a payment. It is now the biggest step on bitcoin that some countries are like this.
Meanwhile, sad to say that (JFSA) is now nearly closing five exchange. The five exchange operators that have decided to pull out of the business are all part of this latter group, as is Tokyo-based Coincheck, from which hackers stole around 58 billion yen ($532 million at the time) in the virtual currency NEM in January. Hopefully, they will fix them as much as earlier.

Japan is one of the leading country in term of technology. Developing a cryptocurrency it could be part of there agenda.
They always a century ahead with other nations.

L'Operaio is embracing Bitcoin for their cars - a real good news for Bitcoiners. And Japan seems to be a very smart and crypto friendly country.

I think it's better to collect now while the price still on the dive. Japan action could move the market and can cause a domino effect in all cryptos.

Japan getting ahead of other nation because they are open on changes and developments. Unlike the other nations they will shut-down any development if the government have no profit on it.
Now Japan open their society in Cryptocurrencies specially BTC. This is a good development after the dip.
 

If this news is true, then it is the very good news for every BTC holder because the use of bitcoin every where in future is sure and if this thing has begun in some countries like Japan and South Korea then obviously this is very good news for every one and I respect that Japan has took this initiative and helped bitcoin to reach next level and now I am waiting when each country will start accepting bitcoin.

As we all know, Japan is the world's most friendly country for bitcoin. In Japan, where the government encourages bitcoin development and encourages people to use bitcoin, there are many stores in Japan that support bitcoin payments. There are many companies that use bitcoin to pay their salaries.

yes, Japan is a friendly country in cryptocurrency but not this only many countries are implementing the cryptocurrency. Because most of the countries are adopt the Bitcoin technology so we can pay via cryptocurrency in  all the transport and jewels shopping. But many countries are avoiding the crypto currency because it is more complex to shopping in all the stores.

Can be said japan is the most advanced country and supports bitcoin or cryptocurrency, i'm sure that japan will continue to use bitcoin so that one day many Japanese company will make bitcoin as second currency.

Japan Government is the best place for BTC  :(

I am happy for the Japanese that they have such opportunities to spend bitcoin. unfortunately in our country, nothing can be bought with bitcoin

That still doesn't change anything the cars will still be worth millions of dollars unless you are a whale or early adopter you don't have to worry about the price but all new investors who think they wouls become rich from bitcoin well that's not going to happen
But i do support this option as liquidating bitcoin is become harder so spending on cars can be one option

Sweet, global adoption and the first steps are made. Maybe BTC is not the future of digital payments but I believe we've only just begun. What if for example Wallmart or Tesco are starting to accept crypto payments by letting customers pay with their smartphone chips or crypto credit cards without the interference of Visa, Mastercard, etc.? Possibilities are endless I guess.

The topic here is not all about the price but the acceptance of BTC as payment for a car. You miss the point here.

BTC cannot be neglected nor ignore. Japan see the potential of it.  Japanese are very keen on development and improvement therefore they are so relax on crypto.

It's a business war anyway. You have to make a product that can knock other products on the same field. This thing is healthy for me so that Binance will not stop improving themselves otherwise they were left behind.

Its sounds very nice.. Because you can buy things with the use of BTC. We all hope that some other country's will follow this kind of development. Bitcoin in japan is very progressive and successful because the government and the people of japan will give their full support of cryptocurrencies. To continue growing the cryptocurrencies in their country's.

Yeah, true. Japan is always a good news for CryptoCurrency. I must say, they are already a pioneer in many fields related to Crypto. Wish, other Government would follow Japan’s footsteps.

Most likely this news is true. Japanese people are more concern on their reputation even they can bargain their life for reputation. Fake news for them is so slim.

Japan is always welcome new technology. Japanese people are so keen to it that's why BTC is not hard for Japanese Government to accept.

So only luxury car is available using cryptocurrency, so for those who are not that rich as the one who can buy cars like that then they can't use there crypto for something? or I think japan is already changing there currency into digital because bitcoin creator was a japanese thats why they wanted to be the first country to have and advance way of money.

For now yes. But for non luxury cars will follow soon.  Regarding the creator of BTC there is no evidence that Japanese created it.  It's just the name that it's a Japanese and it's a Pseudo name actually it can be a group of people or an institutions. 

Considering this adoption of bitcoin its gradually showing that bitcoin will always have some form of relevance. Now is a good time to buy and stockup as more and more alternative uses of bitcoin arises. Maybe the car dealer is looking for avenues to stock up bitcoins too.

Japan is a very open country. At present, only Japan, this country is very friendly and very supportive of Bitcoin.

Yes they are because they are more concern on their reputation than anything else. And they are always pro improvement and pro technology that's why BTC have a place on them.

Because their government always support its Citizens. So if anything that can improve the life of a Japanese, the government support it.

Japan legalized cryptocurrencies so probably people can buy things using crypto. We heard so many news about this nation when it comes to crypto and I think they truly understand the advantage of the features of Bitcoin. On the other hand, nobody really knows the true identity of Satoshi so we can't say that he/she is from Japan.

Its time for lambo! i think in future we will be able to buy not only houses and luxury cars but  bread in shop and any other small items with crypto.

Wow, that is such an amazing news! I cannot imagine how japan can be so crypto-friendly while other countries cannot! I just wish that a lot of countries would also follow the steps of japan and be more open minded with the crypto currency industry since it can really change this world with its great innovation. If this happens, I think this world will really be a better one with easier transactions online no matter how far while having great security of their funds since they are the ones that hold all their assets and not the banks alone. What the banks handle will be just fiat and provide taxes for converting to fiat.

Hope these things could happened. And every nations have there own crypto. But if it happened the fiat is in the verge of extinction.

One of the reason why Japan is easy for them to accept it, is the culture itself. Japanese loves improvements and development. They always aim an excellent in all they do that why BTC have an easy way to their country.

A luxury car dealer in Japan, L’Operaio, partners with bitFlyer – the largest crypto exchange in Japan, to enable its customers to buy cars using Bitcoin. bitFlyer will offer the necessary tech needed to enable L’Operaio to accept payments in bitcoin from customers.

bitFlyer indicated that customers would have to use the bitFlyer’s mobile wallet app, which can be download either in iOS version or Android version, in order to buy car up to 100 mln Yen, or below $1 mln, using the most prominent and popular cryptocurrency in the world – Bitcoin.

I think japan is very friendly to bitcoin, other countries have to follow japanese because bitcoin does not harm the country because i am sure my country will be friendly with bitcoin and can accept bitcoin

Japan is a country in Asia that legitimizes bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument and is regulated by law. So do not be surprised if many companies and business entities use bitcoin as a means of payment. And companies that use bitcoin as payment must meet some stringent requirements This is done to protect consumers from fraud.

That is great when you can use bitcoin to buy luxury cars like in Japan. Because unlike using cash,when cars and motor companies are going to accept bitcoin as payment there is a big chance that more people specially who are holding and saving bitcoin can afford and buy a car even it is luxury or not. I think this will be the start of bitcoin's widen use when some big or even a small company and organization will see that even a luxury car company is already accepting bitcoin. This will be add more benefits to us because our transactions will become more smooth and convinient.

Before the company accepting BTC as payment they already figure it out what are the things need to consider. Every company cannot afford to lose million to a fraud.

Yes it is very cool to see Japan lead in Bitcoin adoption in so many areas, it is these types of purchases where it makes sense for businesses to build in processes to accept bitcoin. It can be challenging at times due to the volatility, but I believe the benefits out way the challenges.

No wonder, as always japan will always be ahead on technology and now on bitcoin. Love to see japan using the full potential of how bitcoin makes life more easier and convenient.

Japan has always proved that when it comes to technological advancement and accepting new technology they are the leaders, they make up a huge part of the crypto market and are more ethusiastic about adoption

Now not only Japan open an opportunity to BTC Arizona and Georgia State passed law for BTC as tax payment.

They are passing law because it could be there are lots of law makers are BTC holders.
Anyway whatever the purpose it a good thing to crypto.

The best thing that i like bitcoin that is cost a lot for 1 btc and you easy could buy luxury cars or houses with bitcoin or others crypto currency do not need to keep a lot of paper money to pay them.

This is an improvement in Japan. In this country, there are many areas that are acceptable for bitcoin payments, not just car purchases. Because this place is the cradle of bitcoin, bitcoin is very developed and chosen by many people to do business. Almost 88% of the population in Japan knows and uses daily bitcoins.

that nice in japan, they really implement the technology about bitocin to showing true potential of it
if we wait the development of bitcoin to it potential maybe we can buy some huge skytower building with it

Wow, this is amazing. Last time I asked my Japanese friends, some of them said that bitcoin is not that popular in Japanese eventhough there are some shops that accepts bitcoin as payment. And I see this thread. Unbelievable. Just amazing! And I'll say usoooo in Japanese, kind of surprise expression  ;D

Japan has always been the biggest and fastest when it comes to mass adoption of bitcoin and usage. the japanese make a huge part of the cryptocurrency market.

Japan is an incredibly developed country at the moment and it is a country in which the economy is incredibly developed I am sure that this is only the beginning and they will start to pay everywhere bitcoin

What to say about the country which has already made the crypto currencies completely legal. They already no the potential of the crypto currency and it was exactly one year before from now when the Japan started taking the initiative about the legalisation of the crypto currencies. They did publish the valid news and the crypto market touched ATH in no time.

In country like that, I am sure crypto currencies is not bothering thing at all but blessing for all the user in their. Apart from this they have also managed to gather financing minister from all over the globe to make it legal in their countries too.

I am putting all those positive things about the Japan because thats the thing which is making it possible for the dealers in the country to make such great deals. Who knows tomorrow they might just be able to buy the houses as well.

Very good in bitcoin japan has become a tool to buy and sell transactions anything can even buy using bitcoin, I hope in some countries other than in japan may bitcoin can be like that.

That is because the Japanese has legalized bitcoin and they now see it as real investment that will improve their economy and business transactions with bitcoin are accepted with in the country.

It could be possible that Japan will be the first to cryptonize their currency. It's a common knowledge that in term of technology always leads the way.
In virtual currency they could be lead then.

well that's great ... here in my country 9 out of 10 people will not even know what is bitcoin if you ask them but I hope that this change as soon as possible .

there are some car dealers and constriction companies in the US who are willing to accept Bitcoin

I very like countrys and their goverments like Japan because they approve bitcoin very easy - yes with big tax from income for traders and etc but they did  that without any problems , why others county couldnot do the same ?

Good that they are willing. But willingness cannot guarantee that they will accept BTC if you buy property.
There are a lot willing actually but they want to take a risk.

i'm not surprising for this news that if i'm not mistaken several months ago Japan declare to accept cryptocurrencies and this is makes japan are friendly country for those who have bitcoin because you can spend your bitcoin through this country without any problem or against the law

I really admire the country of Japan because of its open-mindedness to new technology thats why its one of the most modernized country in the world accepting and legalising btc is a very good  choice and I really dont understand why china and usa are banning cryptocurrencies meanwhile in Japan are adopting it. 

Oh really!? You just like Japan because Japan approved BTC? Japan have more on that, their culture and discipline is far from other country.
BTC is approved because Japan is always a pro-technology and development.  

The 88% is huge. It's a proof that most of them are crypto literate. Therefore companies like car dealers can put their confident on BTC in Japan.

I think USA they are not banning BTC. In fact there are state (Arizona and Georgia) accepting BTC as tax payment. It's ironic that you ban BTC then accept is as tax payment.

China is more on political. They want their own crypto supported by their own citizens.

Yes, indeed. I really love Japanese people and how they are adaptable to the new changes. They do not have the dogmatic minds like other countries. They are hard workers and smart. They rebuilt their country after 50 years after the world war two. All these things are making Japan a great nation. I would love to go and live there since I am fond of anime and Japanese women.

I think it's the government per se not the people. Many people around the globe want btc to be accepted in goods or other products but the government hinder it.

it takes more bitcoin to pay a luxury car only bigwhales can buy cars in that country. but if this already happening it will be great because the demand of bitcoin will be increase and it boost also the community to accept bitcoin as payment.

Good news for CryptoCurrency!

I think this will be the start of bitcoin's widen use when some big or even a small company and organization will see that even a luxury car company is already accepting bitcoin. This will be add more benefits to us because our transactions will become more smooth and convinient.

Yes, the government has long accepted bitcoin as the most friendly country to treat bitcoin, and has actively promoted the use of cryptographic currency, which has helped to encrypt the currency's development in Japan. In Japan, many stores accept bitcoins, so it's not surprising that BTC holders buy cars at bitflyer.

yes, but there were limits about $2500 to spend in bitcoin for purchase and now you can spend big money - up to $1 million in bitcoin.

It is nice to be able to buy a car with Bitcoin. I hope my country will adopt Bitcoin just like Japan, and I am able to see Bitcoin as a payment method in shopping malls.

So a luxury car dealer allows the buyer to use bitcoin.
No wonder, bitcoin are accepted on japan as currency for transaction. and it seems bitcoin adoptions in japan has started by some merchants.

yes because in japan bitcoin already in the tool for sale and purchase transactions, do not be surprised if the country of japan will be the center of bitcoin country. japan is the country most people use bitcoin.

After banning Bitcoin in China ,Japan has taken the leading role to control Bitcoin. It's nice,I do appreciate with you. Japan has become the most cryptocurrency friendly nation in the whole world. Still I'm confused about Japan .They always want to be a competitive of China .I don't want to go more inside to this topic. The main thing is I am neither Chinese nor Japanese. In my country Bitcoin is prohibited, we cannot use  Bitcoin inside of a country .So I am unlucky, indeed.

I'm not surprised at all. Right now, most of Bitcoin trading volume is from South Korea and Japan. These countries are leading in technological progress. It's no wonder why people want to sell their good for BTC. It is because they understand that Bitcoin will be important in the future. It might be interesting because credit and debit cards aren't that much popular in Japan. Did they choose Bitcoin because they understand why it's superior to other digital money?

One of the largest Japanese groups engaged in the sale of used cars, has started cooperation with Bitflyer crypto-exchange for receiving payments in bitcoins.

Interestingly, the car group L'operaio also decided to accept payment from clients in the crypto currency. L'operaio was founded back in 1992, it specializes in importing European luxury cars.

In my opinion bitcoin is very much suitable for large transactions like buying home, real estate or car. It is convenient to transfer and involves no use of banks.

a good news, and it's amazing. hopefully in time to come I can have a big bike with bitcoin that I have. just like someone who has a luxury car with bitcoin.

Because bitcoin has a tremendous value and goes up over time, it's incredibly reasonable to use bitcoin to pay for goods and services. Japan is always one of the world's top technology-receiving and developing countries and cryptocurrency is the same, Japan is always the trusted address for bitcoin and cryptocurrency investors.

Yes, it should be with bitcoin now we can have whatever we want, as long as the amount of bitcoin we have match or worth the price of the object we want. I think in the future there will be such a moment for bitcoin in the world today.

Certainly! After all, bitcoin itself comes from Japan. Therefore, I am not surprised that Japan is ahead of many countries in terms of development in the cryptosphere.

Everyday technology grow rapidly, including in terms of payment, and bitcoin is one of many payment method. Bitcoin makes easy for transactions, and i think If the company wants to grow he must up to date with techonlogy, Japan already do that. Maybe now only in japan but next few year many country will follow it

Japan is showing the world that they are the first to adapt bitcoin and the new technology and they are always on top when it comes to technology, hopefully we will see more countries and merchants accepting bitcoin in the future, we are seeing some interesting projects in the past few years and hopefully we will see a complete change in international trade.

I think Japan has the highest percentage of adoptors and merchants that positively accept bitcoin as a mode of payment in their country.Japanese was known and had already gone to the world of high technology that consistently supplies best and leading products for their costumers.They were known as the producer of those high tech gadgets and now they already conquer the world of digital technologies which is the newest trend of digital currency used as a mode of payment, the bitcoin.These seems to be a great news for crypto users and the good thing is people in different countries might immitate on how Japan has accepted bitcoin and an additional assets of their productive country,pretty sure this would have a good impact on bitcoins growth of popularity.

Japan has always been the most advanced and modern country in the world! I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese Government will soon begin using blockchain.

Japan is advance because of their discipline. Their mindset reputation is far better than wealth. In term of technology everyone is supportive on it that why any changes for development they are easy to adopt. It might be Japan considering right now the use of blockchain.

Japan always think ahead and take a good chance to go forward. They are also always innovative in technology. I think Japan is a unique country.

It is the best form of adoption if bitcoin will be used as a currency more. Japan is a development country and It decision help the merchants to approval BTC, it also help to removal of taxes. I respect that Japan has took this initiative and helped bitcoin to reach next level and now I am waiting when each country will start accepting bitcoin.

Yes. It could be an eye opener for other car dealers too. BTC cannot be neglected though.

They always. It's part of their culture already. It's taught on their school. That's any technology changes they open to it.

This is a very big news for bitcoin holders that they can even buy a car from their btc holding but that is only possible in some countries where bitcoin is approved as a payment option and japan approved it as a legal currency in their country.

that's great Japan, big country that can accept the existence of Cryptocurrency well. if only there was a chance, I want to live in Japan, because there I can use my Bitcoin freely. my ability to go shopping, do not have to carry a thick wallet containing money. but just bring Smartphone only. we are free to buy anything with Bitcoin. because it has many markets, Mall stores, and others who have received Bitcoin as a means of payment.

this is great scope for bitcoin holders to buy car using bitcoin. This really really proves the value and demand of bitcoin in today's world.This news also proves that Japan is the crypto friendly country certainly.

Thats a great news.Many bitcoiner will be happy on that specially to those bitcoiner who live in japan.They can instantly buy expensive cars using their bitcoins.I hope that  it will happen in other countries as well.

I think you can bought luxury cars in other country just exchange your bitcoin into fiat and ofcourse converting your bitcoin into fiat have an fee unless in japan they have no interest in buying their luxury thru bitcoin.

You can buy a building in Japan too  ;D I don't speak Japanese and can't check the local ad listings for real estate but I am pretty sure you could buy a flat for Bitcoin right now somewhere. Or a garage or a farm etc. Here's the article: https://segmentnext.com/2018/01/30/bitcoin-can-buy-house-japan/ 

In Japan bitcoin is much knowned throughout the country, and I won't be surprised if these things happen there, the government has legalized bitcoin for almost 5 or 6 months now and it is actually a big help for the economy, a country which has a good economical stansaes has climbed up and will continue to improve as they areaking right decisions, salute to this country, I just hope third-world countries would also start to know bitcoin and hopefully know more about cryptocurrency as it can be a bug help to their economy.

it is only a matter of time before the entire world starts using bitcoin in exchange for the regular cash transactions we do on daily basis. that japan has started it is only giving credits to the blockchain technology and also helping the publicity also. the world will soon embrace the technology with open arms. this am very sure of. thanks

Japan has always ahead in term of technology. They are already enjoying the technology while the other just started.

This is one one good news I have heard in a long time,  all I have been hearing is China ban BTC,  google ban BTC ad,  twitter ban BTC ad,  facebook ban BTC ad, am not a citizen of Japan and might never visit Japan,  but am just happy that I can here a goods news about companies that are still adopting bitcoin despite the downthread we have been seeing in the year 2018.

Japan is a country for people with very high IQ. They have incorporated modern technology and have embraced innovation. So for me, Japan is the most powerful country in the world

Japan is always pro-development and improvement. Their mindset has been fixed to that. Unlike other nation's government allow only if they have shares. BTC status development in Japan is incredible.

I think is all about High IQ. It a culture. In Japan School academic is just second they focus on trait (EQ).
That's why many of them are easy to adopt on development.

many things could be bought there though, i wish i lived there.

I've always found it a little strange that more exchanges don't have marketplaces tacked on too. They're heaving with money and a lot of was effectively free. They could have a huge sideline selling tat. Cryptopia has one but it seems to be pretty dead.

People in their country is very lucky because their government is not strict about cryptocurrency but maybe in the future, the entire nation will slowly accept cryptocurrency due to its high demand today on different countries.

Yes Japan is the best place to use bitcoin as if you live in Japan you will be very happy because it will be very easy for you to buy a lot of thing with the help of bitcoin, I always suggest my friends to move to Japan who want to make bitcoin a business, Japan is a well-developed country which is actively contributing in the development of the bitcoin so for me bitcoin is the good currency I want the same place of bitcoin in my country as well, same as Japan.

Other countries should follow Japan in the acceptance of crypto. It's a bit wise to promote crypto and be open to it. It is an innovation that we should adapt. Japan is open to change that this could bring and they are looking for a way that can maximize their use for bitcoin. I hope my country is as open as Japanese people are, they are not seeing this as a threat instead a factor that could bring more opportunity and convenience for the people.

You can really see how Japanese people have embraced bitcoin and the blockchain technology. Of course, they are one of the countries leading in technology. Until now, i keep on asking myself i why can't other countries be like Japan?

This is one one good news I have heard in a long time,  all I have been hearing is China ban BTC,  google ban BTC ad,  twitter ban BTC ad,  facebook ban BTC ad, am not a citizen of Japan and might never visit Japan,  but am just happy that I can here a goods news about companies that are still adopting bitcoin despite the downthread we have been seeing in the year 2018.
