-Miss Bitcoin
Mai Fujimoto, aka Miss Bitcoin on her social media platforms, figure-heads an attitude that seems to be crowing in the Land of the Rising Sun.

-Why the hype in Japan?
The attitude in places like China and even Korea is one of the people battling against the regulators. There is huge interest in these two nations from the citizens, but regulators have put their foot down.

-A good alternative
Bitcoin also comes at a great time for the investment-savvy Japanese as ultra-low interest rates from the deflation-battling central bank that has left investors scratching their heads for places to find returns on their cash.

Japan is known for being technologically advanced, so it's no surprise that the country as a whole embraces new technology. They know that technology must be nurtured, not feared.

People don't say it enough, but Japan's government also plays a huge role, being supportive of crypto in general. There are regulations, yes, but they're not overbearing, and they don't spout FUD like "stricter regulations will come". I'm sure it's easier to get into Bitcoin as a newbie if you don't have fears that the government will make life hell for you in the future.

The attitude in places like China and even Korea is one of the people battling against the regulators. There is huge interest in these two nations from the citizens, but regulators have put their foot down.

China’s ban on ICOs, and then exchanges, set a huge precedent in terms of the hard-nosed approach to digital currencies.

Korea also recently started taking steps towards its own style of the ban on digital currencies, however, despite that, there is still massive interest.

Japan also set its own precedent in the understanding of Bitcoin as back in April it was announced that Bitcoin was accepted as legal tender, instantly showing a positive approach from the government.

Japan also benefited greatly from China’s ban as many companies and investors crossed the Sea of Japan to set up shop on the Island.

Adoption
Japan was also the pioneer in terms of Bitcoin adoption as about six months ago there was a boom in businesses trying to integrate Bitcoin payment systems. Even salaries are starting to be paid partly in Bitcoin. A well-known commentator on the crypto-business in Japan Koji Higashi said:

“The involvement of big companies, the sense of security derived from government approval and media exposure really brought in a whole new group of people to the market.”

A good alternative
Bitcoin also comes at a great time for the investment-savvy Japanese as ultra-low interest rates from the deflation-battling central bank that has left investors scratching their heads for places to find returns on their cash.

However, some are suggesting that it is more hype and mania than savvy investing.

Higashi adds:

“Everyone else is doing it now and I heard they are making a lot of money. I have to get on it now. That’s a very Japanese way of thinking. To be honest, I am not sure if people are buying into Bitcoin based on rational decision-making. It feels more of a short-term irrational mania to me.”

Regulation as the best practice is the secret of Big Bitcoin in Japan
This knowledge-based approach also depends on the importance of a reliable regulatory framework. Mt. The bankruptcy of the Gox prompted the Japanese government to decide on how to treat Bitcoin, and was preceded by a push by local regulators to license exchanges of crypto-currencies.
In this light, Japan has become the first country to regulate the exchange of crypto-currencies at the national level. Part of the government's efforts to use financial technologies as a means of stimulating the economy.
Japan's provisions help prevent misuse of bitcoins and other crypto-conversions for illegal activities and require banks and other companies to verify identity, store reports and report suspicious transactions.

Many westerners tend to lump the east Asian economies together, but beneath the surface, there are many differences.

Here are my observations:

The Japanese economy has never really recovered from the collapse of the Japanese real estate market in 1989 - 1990, and the appreciation of the yen, also in that period (which was forced on the Japanese government by the Reagan administration through the Plaza Accord - Wikipedia) in 1985. Japan was hit by two economic punches at the same time: the banks had lots of bad loans on their books because of the collapse of real estate values, and Japanese exports became expensive. Because Japanese exports became expensive, many Japanese manufacturers started to move their factories to China, which fueled the growth of Chinese exports and the Chinese economy starting in the 1990s.
Unlike China, Japanese culture and the Japanese form of government does not allow for the rise of a single strong political leader who can make economic policy decisions. This is why Japanese banks continue to carry bad loans on their books, and this has constrained economic growth for nearly 30 years. The best analysis of this feature of Japanese society and political culture is the book The Enigma of Japanese Power - Wikipedia. This is completely different from China, which is ruled by Xi Jinping and the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, and has Five-Year Plans for the Chinese economy.
On a social structure level, Japanese society does not embrace change well. Since 1990, the lifetime job commitment to one company has eroded, but it has taken time. Japanese women, unlike women in China, very seldom make it into management, and are still expected to quit their jobs when they have a child, and stay home and raise the children while the husband works. The general absence of generally-accepted public roles for well-educated women in Japanese society means that the society does not fully utilize a valuable asset. An important factor in the rapid development of the Chinese economy is the fact that smart, ambitious, hard-working women can lead companies and assume leadership positions in Chinese society if that is what they want to do. It is much harder for Japanese women to do this in Japan, and this explains why some smart ambitious women choose to leave Japan. This is a terrible loss for Japanese society.

I think Japan's is pro bitcoin approach could be the reason why bitcoin is big in Japan people in Japan are more interested in the bitcoin because rules and regulations are not so rigid should be very flexible there and also official, that's why it is big in Japan.

Since the introduction of the bitcoin in Japan by a miner I don't remember the name, it becomes popular because of the convenience it brings to the individual. not only that they also know that bitcoin possess anonymous transaction which fundamentally adapted by Nippon.

Bitcoin really has the oppurtunity when it's at Japan - the country of technology. People are interesting about the new stuffs specially technology. What Bitcoin can give them is too much than they can expect about a technology stuff. It gave them blockchain technology, the new currency - which hard to be fake ...

Traditionally and culturally Japanese  are one of the most optimistic people if we're talking about investments. A country of excellent technology so they're  seeing bitcoin as a great opportunity which they can earn more. No wonder why its it's big in Japan.

bitcoin is big everywhere. it is a decentralized currency that people have chosen to use and invest in all around the world. it is even big in those countries that have issues with bitcoin or even banned it. like Venezuela for instance.
it is the power of bitcoin as a decentralized currency that makes it big.

it is bigger in Japan and more noticeable there because of the regulations that bitcoin has in Japan. because they adopted it as a legal way of payment with 0 taxes and that helped with the mass adoption among lots of merchants over there. so you see it more often.

Today bitcoin in Japan is a currency recognized at the legislative level. Bitcoin holders are protected by law, and its turnover is not regulated today.

Because BTC owner from japan but another country have big value too because in japan first BTC from

Hmm these kind of figureheads may be quite important for many countries to alleviate public perception and fear. Almost the whole world is currently fighting crypto fud, be it international or domestic, and we need some strong guys in crypto who can do this. Almost all the big guys I have seen so far just shill or fud or buy stuff, it seems most have no interest in it after getting rich.

I think bitcoin is big in Japan except been explained by OP above base on the source of cointelegraph is the government of Japan had been support for the bitcoin, the government of Japan is friendly to bitcoin and the people of Japan had known about the bitcoin, the benefits of information, technology of bitcoin and any other related with the bitcoin, they can open their think about the new information and technology of internet.

Japan is one of the first countries that accepted cryptocurrency. It is just a great country with people that ready for something new.

I've seen her interview on a video and on how she is very popular in Japan to be called as Miss Bitcoin. And you know what? She's cute.  ;D There's no assurance that Satoshi Nakamoto is a real Japanese, base on this account profile here in forum he's a good English Speaker and SN is like his pseudonym.

I agree on this part and may be the person from Japan only and they want to rule the world. Other countries don't trust Bitcoin or any coins since they are not banks or depends upon on the same rate So bitcoin is popular only in Japan.

because Japan is a developed country that is not concerned with politics, they just want to shoot the science that exists without the hope of political interference

Japan is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Also, the japanese are at the forefront of tech and has been very open to new ideas and things. It is no surprise that they are also one of the first to embrace bitcoin and crypto in general.

Because japan is the most high technology of the all even though a 8years old boy can know about bitcoin and bitcoin is now authorize in japan  :)

It is poignant and sweet that the one who started Bitcoin is name as a Japanese (though nobody can be sure if he/she/they can be real Japanese nonetheless the name is a a great tribute to the Japanese people). Today, Japan is one of the first country that truly embraced Bitcoin much ahead of USA which is having some doubts on how to regulate Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. We have to thank Japan for this brave act and for having a good vision of the future....a world where power is truly given back to the power to make their own destiny and where money is already in the digital form.

Yep, that is why Japan is the most hightech country in the world, there are the first ones to embrace all new things about technology, no wonder they are so tight.

Well its very expected to a first world country with technology advancements well known in the world. Also japanese are welcoming and having a positive approach towards cryptocurrency which lead to its growth on their country. Japan has a good and well manage regulations of bitcoin and holders. I think it is well develop in Japan because the creator of bitcoin named Satoshi Nakamoto which is a japanese name.

Bitcoin is so big hit in japan because its regulated in there country,people and all platform exchanges have a free will to do there transaction in investment trading or mining bitcoin without probihiting by the government.virtual currency is part of the progressing economy in japan its help a lot and done big contribution in there country that why bitcoin have a  big name in japan.

because Japanese people are smart and they always stay with good tech advancement. Also, those Japanese people seem smarter than average bubbling dummies about Bitcoin.

Maybe because the ones who created it originated from Japan. They make bitcoin the tax revenue from the tax cryptocurrency business, gain taxes from individual investors and corporations. As online reports always tell Japan wants to become the bitcoin or cryptocurrency capital in the world. Japan believe in bitcoin that even other countries withdrawn due to hacking incidents and lost millions but still believe in bitcoin potentials.

Japan is a modern country, and people in Japan like to adapt what is latest in modern day altscoin is easy to use just one tap. That's why bitcoin is big in Japan

Japan embraces not only bitcoin but its blockchain technology, which is beneficial in many especially for an independent country. Japan maintains its reputation on being technologically advanced country and adopting bitcoin can be a good opportunity.

Japan learnt a lot from the collapse of Mt Gox (which was based in Japan). They have basically had three years to carefully go over the books, find out what went wrong, and make regulations to prevent it happening again.

Most other countries are flyng blind when it comes to regulation, they are not sure what needs regulating and what needs leaving alone. As a result they're taking the easy way out and just banning it.

For sure, most countries would have slammed the Ban Hammer on all Crypto currencies, if something like Mt Gox happened

in their countries. The Japanese government investigated, found solutions and tackled the Bull by the horns. They will reap

the benefit for making bold decisions, early in the game. No technology will prosper without the government backing it in

some way.  :(

That should what every nations do, to take away the fear of those people who want to invest in bitcoin or even in other cryptocurrency. Like what Japan did to their people, they support what the people really need and that is to regulate and not totally ban the possible source of income for their people.  

Maybe because of their technology. We know that Japan rich and advance in terms of technology and Most of the Japanese are Rich. Also, Japanese are smart. Maybe they know that their money will grow if they invest in bitcoin.

Japan is country with strong econmic, i think gmans believe in tech and crypto

I'm surprised it's not BIGGER in Japan tbh.

Its nothing new. Japan is one of the most technological country, for sure they are the one's who will accept these kinds of advancements. If not because of world war II they have already built more technology than any country had.

Technically it is big in Japan because it is where it is created Satoshi Nakomoto is Japanese in my wild guess, and beside Japan is a very technological country in which they are open to possibilities in accepting any technological innovation which can help improved or developed their country.

We all know that Japanese are really advanced when it comes to technology. Bitcoin is part of investion that is related to technology which is a type of cryptocurrency. They always cope up with the advancement of technology to make their economy grow more and adapt digital financial system for the purpose of future. Also, their governmern plays a big role why bitcoin is supported in Japan. Bitcoin cannot be accepted by Japanese if their government did not support it.

The volume of bitcoin trade in Japan jumped after the enactment of laws in the country that recognize bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument.

this is because the founder of bitcoin which has a Japanese-like name and in Japan its economy is very advanced and appreciate the development of new financial technology is very big in japan. that's probably what makes bitcoin very big in japan.

Japan is strong in economic growth and known for being technologically advanced, so it's no surprise that bitcoin in Japan is big.

Apart from butcoin being originated on the country, In my own thoughts we know that Japan has a very high nurturing for technology, so much so that every year they invent a new technology that might be deemed useful in the near future, And Japan being techonologically-advanced, they think thst they must adopt bitcoin as well as the saud cryptocurrency might be useful in the near future.

because japan is the most high quality of the gadgets like computer. and japan is know to very fast internet country in the world.

As most of us here know, Japan currently is the leading country in tech and innovation (and weird TV game shows) so it's not surprising that they'd be open to accept an innovation with how people handles money, and that is bitcoin and crypto. Also, their government is very keen on finding ways to help their citizens in any way possible so as you observed, there isn't any strict regulations regarding crypto in Japan. Many of the Japs believe that bitcoin will be the future of payment and money, that's why most of them jumped ship without hesitations before everybody else could.

because it's recognized as money by local regulators. It's important milestone in crypto industry and great encouragement for Japanese people to use crypto

Maybe because the anonymous founder name of bitcoin is japaness name, Satoshi Nakamoto. if not, because of the its high tech technology.

Bitcoin is legal in Japan, and the Japanese government is very friendly to bitcoin. They have introduced a number of policies conducive to the development of bitcoin, which will be conducive to the development of bitcoin.
Bitcoin is widely accepted in Japan and many stores in Japan accept bitcoin, which can be well circulated in Japan.

Aside from the fact that Satoshi Nakamoto sounds very much a Japanese name, Japanese people are more open to new innovations, new possibilities and new discoveries. Instead of rejecting something new, they try and understand the underlying usecase of bitcoin and its technology. And one advantage of that is, they are one step ahead with most countries that fear change, their people are widely adopted to bitcoin when other countries are debating whether to ban bitcoin or tax it.

I think that because Japan is an industrialized nation and the Japanese people prefer  convenience and crypto  can do that. Simple and secure implementation is what most users need, which brings them to crypto, so does Japanese. And with the support of technology lives in Japan, crypto is becoming more powerful in Japan.

Japan is a developing country because of their technology.they sure ones who will accept these kinds of advancements.Japan is technologically advanced so they think that future economic growth will increase further by Bitcoin.Japanese government is very friendly to bitcoin.So there is a big name in Japan about Bitcoin and it will spread more and more.

Since Japan is very "IN" with technology its not a surprise seeing Japan using bitcoin as currency, its actually a bright idea to use bitcoin as currency, and I can slowly see that bitcoin may be the future of currency. Japan has embraced technology and has used it for the better of their country and economy, they can process things faster, and now that they are using bitcoin its not a doubt Japan will be greater.

As far as I know, Bitcoin is created by an individual or a Japanese organization. So, lex it is widely applied and extremely developed there. In addition, Japan is a developing country, which owns the world's leading technology. Bitcoins are widely used there, so it is very common.

Satoshi Nakamoto it is a japanese name right so maybe from the very start satoshi is backed up by japanese firm or government. So when the bitcoin start it has already a big market which is japan.

This is not the right reason, Satoshi I think is anonymous and not Japanese.
We never know who he is and may not have anything to do with the State of Japan.
Japan is a developed country, and he really values technology. it was amazing.

Bitcoin trade in Japan is big, it accounts for almost half of the global trade volume. The country is now said to be the new heart of bitcoin since it recognized bitcoin as a legal form of currency. Most of the japanese are open-minded and knew the benefits that bitcoin may give once they accept it one of their aternative currency. Many merchants are now using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their business and one company is even planning to use bitcoin as a form of salary.

Japan is all flashy and at the cutting edge of technology and entertainment so it makes sense that the Japanese are embracing bitcoin. it is the future and it is not so hard to understand that. Why would we use physical money when we trying to save on waste? For example, video games now are mostly downloaded so nothing physical, so why shouldn't money be the same and keep up with the rest of the technology.

Mai Fujimoto, aka Miss Bitcoin on her social media platforms, figure-heads an attitude that seems to be crowing in Japan.

the Japanese government supports bitcoin so that Japanese society no one is worried for investment and bitcoin transactions. when the Chinese government banned the bitcoin, the Chinese community may also switch the bitcoin transaction to japan. that's why many bitcoin users in japan.

Yes your opinion about bitcoin.
The bitcoin user's cheek from japan and china but the development of Japanese is increasing every day due to the anonymous transactions that are fundamentally adapted by Nippon so until now Japan still apply it from it very big bitcoin japan.

yes i agree with you because japan country is very concerned with technological advancement and bitcoin is one of crypto currency that use technology of financial future, and japan is country that support with bitcoin system

i think, because in japan bitcoin is legal, so many people can use bitcoin freely thus making bitcoin fast growing in japan

Bitcoin in Japan is legal and they found it easy to transaction online. I think there's alot of option that they can use bitcoin. Some merchants and shops accepts bitcoin even Big malls accepts bitcoin. Hope it continues to adopt! neighboring countries will follow.

as we know Japan is the most developed country, especially in the field of technology. the Japanese government is able to support cryptocurrency because they know the technology of blockchain is a remarkable technology capable of creating a master of books across all global banks. Japan realizes the existence of a bitcoin digital currency is able to change the economy in the country because bitcoin is able to be recognized by all developing countries.

Ironically bitcoin’s price rise has only hastened concern among regulators. Pretty much weekly, if not daily, there are calls from one corner or another of the globe to severely restrict if not outright ban digital assets. Indeed, the near seven thousand island nation has been a definitive point of success for cryptocurrencies, and especially bitcoin, which are recognized as legal in the country. The third largest world economy is a fine experiment in a sea of countries which still struggle as to what to make of decentralized currencies.

the big bitcoin in japan because of the japanese state policy that allows and legalize bitcoin in japan. this makes bitcoin market in japan country very good and stable different in country which have not officially legalize bitcoin will surely experience the price up and down because not yet too strong to be hit by issue.

if bitcoin is big and growing well in japan country, i think it's not weird and japan has good potential to be bitcoin center.

because Japan is the world's No. 1 technological country, so the Japanese country better understand about block-chain technology, and also the Japanese government can manage it well. all countries must learn from japan.

but if we ask about, why  bitcoin is big in indonesia?
and this is a very interesting question!

Japan is one of the leading country in terms of technology or in IT industry specially robotics, so this is not so sensational if they are embracing crypto currency technology or the bitcoin technology. Important thing here is the government are not against bitcoin and they all know how the importance of bitcoin works.

yes, we see today that bitcoin development in sakura country is getting better and has no problem. unlike China which is the biggest country to trade crypto, but only makes bitcoin sick and fall.

it seems because bitcoin is already adapted to japanese state, so i think japan is more appropriate to adopt bitcoin.

and I'm sure bitcoin will not only be great in japan, but it will also be a bitcoin residence.

Another reason for a Bitcoin Boom in Japan: Extra-low interest rate from deflation-battling central banks, investors are turning their heads to places to get their cash back.
Although Japanese are generally considered risk-based investors, they also exchange foreign exchange especially in the complexity of market complexity.

Japan is one of the country has a modern technology that have been many countries admit it. So naturally if bitcoin becomes one of the things that are inherent with Japanese state. because there is always very detailed research on the world of cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is supporting By Japan government and it is very positive matter for the cryptocurrency sector. japan is very prominent economically and have goodwill globally so it will help to execute Bitcoin in every transaction.

unlike regional rivals China and South Korea, whose regulators have clamped down hard on the crypto-currency, Japan has welcomed it with open arms.They know the value of bitcoin and how far it will arrive.

Japan is a large place for electronics, they like to use Bitcoins because it's the Hip method of paying for things with a smartphone.

Japan Government passed the Virtual Currency Act earlier in 2017 acknowledging formally bitcoin as a legal form of currency as a form of payment method as well. Their Bitcoin Trade accounts for about half of the global trade volume that total has actively rise and move in waves since the legalized last year. Japan on Bitcoin as legal is more popular than at any time and still one of the world’s most prosperous nations. Last year was a significant factor for investors because of impact on the demand from the time the value of Bitcoin. Asian countries must see Japan’s influence on Bitcoin.

We know that japan is a modern technology, like bitcoin they embrace the knew invention.  Good thing is that the government in Japan is not against in the bitcoin technology and Japan is one of leading bitcoin in the asia

China had defeated cryptocurrency and it can be big there because its not allowed to use it in china.
The only one reason is because in japan, people free to use bitcoin because its legal. Spreading word about bitcoin will be easier because bitcoin is legal and governmet is the backer.

these countries are known for their advanced and advanced technology, hence they embrace some renewable technologies, because the role of the Japanese government is needed to support crypto in general. There are rules, yes, but not arrogant, I'm sure it's easier to get into Bitcoin as a newbie if you have no fear that the government will make your life hell for you in the future.

This is critical the Japanese government took a look at bitcoin and understood immediately there is no chance to fight against it, so they decide the best thing they could do was to legalize it and regulate it, right now the benefits are not very obvious but as bitcoin becomes bigger and their citizens begin to earn more money with bitcoin and to use it for all kind of purchases and the government to collect more taxes, they will see they made the right move.

None of those are really a reason for an everyday person to own Bitcoins honestly. The reason they're big in Japan is because it's a tech savvy country, the government there understands that they can't stop it so they embrace it and they have very clear guidelines on spending Bitcoins and how it's taxed (or in the case of visitors spending Bitcoin, it's not taxed at all). So... It's an ideal country to spend Bitcoins.

No wonder Bitcoin is big in Japan because almost 100% of the population is proudly supporting it because Mr. Satoshi is a Japanese and they are the founder of this coin in which it is right that all good credit for Bitcoin shall be earned by the country of Japan like the most Bitcoin, the most supporting country, the most convenient to use Bitcoin and many more good credits.

In my opinion is due to the inventor of bitcoin, ie Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto is a person of Japanese citizenship. maybe when the first time bitcoin or satoshi was created only for japan country only. and from now on bitcoin has grown very rapidly around the world.

Japan is the only and one of the first country where Bitcoin is legal and is accepted anywhere without any issue. Government of Japan is in full favor of this digital currency. Japanese are always one step ahead in technology and they have adopted this digital currency technology from the beginning. The rest of the world has to follow Japan, else they will be left behind in this digital era.

I don't think it's only in Japan. Bitcoin is big in several countries well because it is now considered mainstream. But if you are asking why it is big in Japan, then I think the reason why is because Japan is technologically advanced, and that the creator of btc is a japanese. I saw a video on facebook about JPOP idols personalizing cryptocurrencies

In this tech country, bitcoin really has a chance.

People are interested in new materials, especially technology.

Bitcoin is protected by law in Japan.

Maybe yes, but we don't actually know who really is the creator of btc. Japanese people wanted to have a fast transaction and they really believe that time is really important. And also, like what you said they are technically loves technology.

With Japan being tagged as a country full of Tech-Savviness, then I think it is only favorable for Japan to really big in bitcoins. Another reason is that as far as theory goes, Bitcoins originated in Japan. So it's no surprise that Japan is the biggest country to support bitcoins let alone be the developer of such.

Japan is a very open-minded country although very solid in terms of preserving their culture and tradition. Aside from that, Japan is also very high-tech. They are so much advance in terms of new technologies. So many high quality technologies and inventions emanate from Japan. No wonder why Japan is embracing the Bitcoin innovation wholeheartedly. Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is a mystery but why he chose the Japanese name is a bigger mystery for me if he is not actually Japanese. Perhaps because he is one big fan of the Japanese advancement in technologies.

bitcoin was created by satoshi nakamoto which is a japanese,
so it is no wonder that bitcoin is known well in japan

That's because japan has legalized the use of bitcoin for transactions, so the bigger the transaction there, even south korea has also opened the gate for bitcoin transactions, because big country like japan and south korea alone dare so surely they already consider it, agreement or rules for user to avoid unwanted things.

Bitcoin is welcome in japan because the founder of this technology which is the bitcoin digital money currency is from Japan her name is Satoshi Nakamura and there government is very proud of Satoshi Nakamura that's why the government of Japan recognized bitcoin digital money currency. And there goverment passing a law that regulate bitcoin is legal in thier country.

So far I know that bitcoin is created by Japanese individuals or organizations, so it is widely applied and highly developed there. In addition, Japan is also a developed country that has the world's leading technology. Bitcoin is also widely used there and is becoming very common for various circles of people who have a business. 8)

I think here the main thing is understating , no matter what the public wants with the bitcoin , Because majority was for the non-users of the bitcoin , but still government of the Japan country understand the matter very well and they gave the descion in favour of bitcoin and also they said that they can't stop bitcoin transaction as well as they can stop people to use bitcoin Because they can ban bitcoin related sites with the ip block but they can't stop people to use VPN .
And also Japan government a better descion in the way to make better tax earnings to grow the economy of the country .
So bitcoin is big in Japan like better economical country where people are using bitcoin in every possible way for payment .

I think You`re quite right with this statment! Japan alwayswas a step or two  ahead the  other countries in terms of using and implementing the cut-edge technologies! And this time they are winning with the Bitcoin!

How do you know that? That goes up for several people here blatantly assuming he is from Japan. Satoshi Nakamoto can be someone from Switzerland as well, or Namibia. On top of that, no one knows what or who Satoshi is in terms of he/she/they. Your logic just isn't right. I have NY in capital letters at the end of my forum handle, does that mean I am from New York? Yes according to your logic, but not in reality. I am not from New York at all, the NY capitals have a different meaning. I however don't know how much actual impact the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto has in Japan in terms of Bitcoin's adoption there. I assume zero to almost nothing, but for that you have to ask Japanese people for their opinion on that.

IMO , is all on the hype Japan did gave to the coin as in China people did to the ICO's and so on with the different countries adapting to another kind of coins as well.

Another factor contributing to a bitcoin boom in Japan: ultra-low interest rates from the deflation-battling central bank that has left investors scratching their heads for places to find returns on their cash.

While Japanese are generally considered risk-averse investors, they are also well-versed in the complexities of market trading, especially in foreign exchange.

in my opinion, because it is the first time the creation of bitcoin is originated in Japan and also most of the many investors who come from there so they are have great influence in the movement of the bitcoin growth occurs because of Maybe they have high technology in extending deals in creating bitcoin for future

Japan is known in crypto currency market since they are one of those countries who gives support over bitcoin, they love the idea of digital economy and is really trying to implement it to their country. And also Japan leads the crypto market way back when it was first introduce, I really thinks this country is so much open for new technologies that can help their country improved.

The Japanese were known to be the inventors and investors of bitcoins, that's why bitcoin is so big in Japan. No wonder the mining power they have is great due to their country being one of the world's biggest technologically advanced countries that could ever support bitcoins.

I think, japan government regulation is good.
 

Bitcoin Capital of the World. No objection here. Satoshi Nakamoto is Japanese, right? One of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Not much explaining needed on how cryptocurrency works for the Japanese.

Japan is one of the pro bitcoin countries. It legalizes bitcoin (including exchange, tax treatment) and many merchants accept bitcoin. Companies in Japan started developing advanced mining chips.

BTC is primarily a japanese-american developer! The BTC transaction in Japan is not taxed!

The Japanese government has actively paid for the BTC's hope that the digital money market will bring new opportunities to Japan and restore economic growth.

Japan is a pioneer country in terms of technology and now in bitcoin too from about six months. The government of japan is showing the positive approach towards bitcoin. They have also tried to integrate bitcoin payment systems.  

This is new to me, Japan has been one of the leading countries in the adoption of cryptocurrencies but I forget to ask myself why. I thought this was just because the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese, and because they are knowledgeable enough to realize its worth they take advantage of that opportunity to make BTC their own pride (because the name itself is a Japanese). A useless Theory of mine. ;D

Number one: Mai Fujimoto sounds to me.
Number two: I'm hoping that our regulators here (in our country) will do the same.
Number three: Only people who are seeing its potential in the coming years will invest in crypto, I've have known many people but only few fully understand the driving force of the blockchain..

It's possible that there are so many bitcoin enthusiasts that until now we can see bitcoin populations around the world, almost so many people are using it, I think this will be the beginning of good where we can see that japan is king of all advanced technology. .

        China's ban on Bitcoin and Korea trying to bring regulations to Bitcoin became a blessing for Japan and Japan legalization of the digital currency .People began to go to Japan for business and set shops at Japan since Japan is giving a positive approach to Bitcoin.. Japan is the first to adopt Bitcoin and now Japan is trying to pay salaries in Bitcoin also. Now Japan has become the dominant ICO market in Asia and the fastest growing in the world.

Supported by technological advances that touch almost all activities. Technological developments there are very rapid. Society is open to new things and able to adapt to it. With the issue that the founder of bitcoin originating from there might also be quite affecting.

Japan is a technology based country its not a surprise that an "online money" as we call cryptocurrency is big to them. And I think they will be developing it too.

estimated in the coming months of 2018. But I hope the year 2018 will be the greatest year for all bitcoin users around the world. I hope the bitcoin value will increase and will be detected. More money to invest so the money will double. 2018 this will be good for kriptocurrency. Easy easy this will come true.

 Bitcoin is legal in Japan since Bitcoin exchanges and ICO's  is banned by china and Korea bringing regulations to Bitcoin Japan has a positive approach towards Bitcoin and they are even partially trying to give salary for the people in Bitcoin currency and Now Japan has become the first Asian country that are friendly to Bitcoin.

it's because bitcoin trading volume in Japan jumped after the enactment of the country's bitcoin legislation as a legitimate payment instrument.
Not only that, according to news.bitcoin.com, the Japanese bitcoin market is among the most centralized. Approximately 99% of BTC / JPY trade volume occurs only on three exchanges.
About 80% of JPY / BTC trades take place in the Bitflyer and Bitflyerfx exchanges. Coincheck followed the second largest bourse (15%), and Zaif as the third bourse (4%).

Japan is very adapting about technology and goverment let ICOs  while in a few county banned. Goverment support on crypto market and trade can erase fears from early investor

Bitcoin is totally promoted  by Japan and through their trading platforms and exchanges .Nearly 56% transaction are being carried out through Japanis exchanges world wide.The government is totally supporting their people to invest in bitcoin and trade the bitcoin through their exchanges.So the people of Japan is quiet safe and protected by their government to invest in bitcoin and utilize it to their day to day life. China and Korea's different attitude towards bitcoin has been timely utilized by Japan

Japan is really known in having really hard working people who really prioritize money and their works, thats really the main reason why 3 out of 10 of their population is now investing, cant you see the possibilities about the people who has really, made their efforts in having and working with bitcoin.

Because bitcoin first known in Japan so that its development so fast and widely accepted by many people

Why big bitcoin in japan because bitcoin first grown and known japan and growing rapidly so much accepted by many people

Because japan is mature country and not to mention being technological too,thats why they can relate and willing to open their door towards futuristic living,and this is what bitcoins offering the accessibility and comfort of the people is what they want,the interests of the countrymen are the first concern before anything else.

Yes, of course japan has been doing a long study so that they legalize bitcoin, and this is certainly a strong indication for bitcoin users to hold hold because if the Japanese citizens reach 15% then the price will be more stable and not too volatile.

Bitcoin is big in Japan is because the main reason that their Government supports and accept the use of Digital currency in their country as a matter if fact that many of their establishments accepts bitcoin as payment. It is also obvious that their government will allow that because Japan is a very high tech and open country when it comes to technology.

Cryptocurrency is completely legal in japan because they are using bitcoins to improve their own economy, if only other countries will think at the same way then everyone will become wealthy in the future since the value of every cryptocurrency is growing as the time goes by.

Wish every country follow the footstep of japan :)

yes that is some of the reason bitcoin is fast developing in japan country, and that is another reason bitcoin become popular because japan is a country that support digital technology and bitcoin is also a computer-based digital banking system, that is why there is no government policy that can arrange circulation bitcoin money

Japan is a country that plays a role in the development of bitcoin so naturally Japan is said to be that way, as more and more people in Japan are familiar with bitcoin so its growth is so fast there.

Bitcoin is big in Japan because they already accepted it. Japan is known for being powerful and influential countries and bitcoin is where it was created. They easily adapt technologies, especially when it comes in making the transactions easier. Another thing is that their government has their full support when it comes in crypto currencies.

Since the crypto world was born and introduces by a Japanese guy Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin as the first blockchain database. this technology shakes the entire world as the cryptocurrency. This was the reason the Japanese government adopted,regulated the laws and legalize bitcoin in the said country,  so no doubt peoples loved bitcoin became the big in Japan.

We all have known together that bitcoin was introduced in japan.because it is accepted by people and legalized by the government there that bitcoin grows  rapidly in that country.this is the main reason why bitcoin is big in japan, where people there and government support each other about bitcoin.

Japan allways research and accept new technologies. Many high technological founded by Japanese Sony company such as digital cd disk.
And now time to digital currency

Japan already accepted bitcoin, as we all know japan known for being technologically advance. Satoshi Nakamoto is a japanese who utilize blockchain technology and created bitcoin. Their government legalize and support bitcoin. I think if they are going to adopt bitcoin, it will make them independent to other countries in terms of investments, it is free from taxes and laws of other government because it is decentralized.

the biggest reason maybe that japan receive bitcoins for real-world payments, for trade, and they can buy something using bitcoin. and probably because of the established regulations of Japan...japan is also one of the developed countries, and they know that technology will grow rapidly...

Maybe because satoshi nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin was originally from japan. And miss bitcoin was also so popular all over the world was also from japan. Japan was a country that open for all possibilities. And maybe the large number of bitcoiners was from japan.

Maybe that’s because Bitcoin in created from Japan, and Alasan biggest why japan received bitcoin to the payment in the real world, to trade, and they can buy something using bitcoin, and the Japanese also has received bitcoin as a tool payment illegitimate, as we know japan is known as technological progress. Satoshi Nakamoto japan is the people who use technology blockchain and create bitcoin as a means of payment.

Japan fully embraced Bitcoin and made it a currency and accepted in any payments..It's not unsual that Japan is leading the way for Asian countries as they are known for embracing new tech. They are always one step ahead in terms of technology and people in Japan are open minded and government itself is very supportive to their citizens..

In answering why bitcoin is big in japan, someone has to know that it was introduced in 2009.After introducing this as digital currency, people there accepted and supported.Besides that the government of japan also has accepted and legalized officially. This condition makes bitcoin grow rapidly because people and government of japan support each other about bitcoin.

Japan is a country of excellent technology so they're  seeing bitcoin as a great opportunity which they can earn more. Japan is strong in economic growth and known for being technologically advanced, so it's no surprise that bitcoin in Japan is big.

Japan is famous as a very advanced country, certainly in terms of their technology is also very advanced.
Bitcoin is one result of how advanced the development of technology today.
And the other thing I know is probably because its founder came from japan, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Because they are smart and innovative. All the best and newest technologies are coming from there and Japan already figured out some real potential of Blockchain. That’s why they understand how worth it is.

Japan and innovative technology certainly go hand in hand, but I think the Japanese acceptance of Bitcoin is also a direct result of the Band of Japan hard monetary policies with negative interest rates and endless Quantitative Easing. Why pay to store you money in the bank when you can actually increase value over time with Bitcoins?

Technology adoption of Japan is advance compare to other industrial countries. That's why, it can be expected that more Japanese had joined this community. Hopefully, the other countries will also support this cause as Japan continues to be grow stronger while embracing this cryptocurrency era.

why bitcoin can be big in japan? because the bitcoiner in Japan knows how to make technology that mined bitcoin automatically, technology in japan is very advanced as well as with bitcoin mining technology.

Bitcoin is finding a safe heaven in Japan because of the technological advantage bitcoin has in Japan, we all know the love and advancement in technology in Japan, and bitcoin thrive on the wing of highly advance technology. So Japan hold the chunk of bitcoin mining farms we have in the world today and that made Japan very important to bitcoin network.

Bitcoin in japan is big because the law supports it.. Many investors are investing because of their high technology..

I think this is because of the government's strong support for bitcoin. In Japan, bitcoin is legal and people can freely trade bitcoin, and the Japanese government encourages people to participate in bitcoin. Many people use bitcoin to pay their employees' salaries. The Japanese government believes that bitcoin will bring development to the country's economy.

Reaction in the crypto community has been mixed. While official government recognition and its attendant regulations is good for building trust, there is concern that creeping legislation may stifle startups. Mostly though, token evangelists see Japan’s uniquely proactive approach to cryptocurrency regulations as a positive step towards global legitimacy. The full extent of the ramifications of this approach remain to be seen.

Bitcoin in Japan is big because the law supports it. In Japan, the value of Bitcoin is Very rise . Because it is main currency of Japan. 8)

The Japanese government supports bitcoin the progress of the country is very influential to make the bitcoin getting bigger in japan with supported technology that develop very fast there, in comparison with other countries most people there already know bitcoin.

japan is open mind with something new especially with the new technology and they are learning to know more about the technology. we know that japan is not a big country but they can respect with something that is not from their country and they can learn for this so they can grow with the new technology. from this, japan is accepting bitcoin which is a new technology and they allow people to use bitcoin and even I think they allow bitcoin to be used in real life too.

i dont know, maybe because bitcoin is founded by satoshi nakamoto ?
but i think bitcoin not only big in japan, in other countries too.

In my experience, Japanese culture has always been one of the more accepting cultures in terms of technological adoption and changes in public perception. I think it is the liberal spirit of the country that allows cryptocurrency to thrive without interruption by the government, as the country seems to be genuinely striving towards improving its societal architecture, even if that means power shifting technologies must be embraced.

It became big in Japan is because of the involvement of big companies accepting bitcoin as payment and even salary of their employees. The approval from its government making it secure, plus the media exposure which brought people to the market. A lot of Japanese are trading high levels of money on the market.

The government acknowledges the legitimacy of bitcoin. It also supports the development of bitcoin in Japan and encourages the use of bitcoin by people and businesses, which helps the development of bitcoin.

Japan is the birthplace of bitcoin. It is the cradle for bitcoin to grow and spread to the world. I think japan is a great place for bitcoin enthusiasts.

Japan is popular when it comes to technology, so there is no doubt they get involve in cryptocurrency. They see the potential of bitcoin that in can give huge amount of profit for any investors. One of them is "Miss Bitcoin" Mai Fugimoto who invested all her money in cryptocurrency, that's how she believes in bitcoins potential.

We cannot say that it is the birthplace of bitcoin just because its creator or developer is a Japanese.  But Japan is advanced compared to any other country in the world.  It has no problem adopting to technologies and at the same time keeping their culture and tradition intact.

Bitcoin is big not only in Japan but all over the world.The reason is that bitcoin is reliable.

its big there because its big everywhere

the trading volume of bitcoin in Japan jumped after the enactment of the country's law that recognizes bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument.
not only that, the bitcoin market in japan is among the most centralized. about 99% of BTC / JPY trade volume only occurred in three exchanges.
about 80% of BTC / JPY trades took place in the bitflyer and bitflyerfx exchanges, coincheck followed as the second largest Japanese stock exchange (15%) and zaif as the third exchanges (4%)

Most of technological products are created in Japan.They love technology and they are an advanced country.So, it is not surprising to me that seeing Japan accept Bitcoin and support it.

I think Bitcoin is strong in Japan because that's where it's made. In addition, their government almost agreed and considered it to be legal money. Therefore, it is used in many places in Japan, and becomes extremely powerful

As we all know, Japan is a country where technology is a top priority. It's their specialty, and bitcoin is a step-up in terms of payment and transaction method using the block chain technology. With Japan, bitcoin price will surely increase because a lot of people in Japan would surely adopt and use bitcoin for profit and convenience.

Up until now, China was the bitcoin capital of the entire world until the Chinese government made the very bad decision of banning the cryptocurrency in their country and thus dropping the value to new lows none of us wanted but it's still rising and therefore shows that China can't stop bitcoin.

Exactly they are the only country who was very focused pn technology and they are also advanced at the same time. Japanese look and see that bitcoin have a great role to every investor that will come. When it comes to technology japan was one of the popular country. In addition not becauae the creator of bitcoin was from japan taht doesnt mean that it was the reason why it was bug there.

Yes, as I know, bitcoin is legal currency in Japan. Threrefore, it is safe to use bitcoin as currency or as an asset there. If for example my government followed Japan's policy regarding bitcoin, I am sure bitcoin will be big as well, here in my country.

hey i am Bkjones !  :) as my think japan is a techonological country where japan's goverment support techonological things, there are no sudden surprise , in japan Cryto is as normal base.Thanks

Japan is a world leader not only in technology as we all know but in terms of governance and people savvy. Japan has grown and competitive to the developed nations because of their creative thinking and the ability to make creativity into real, if the nuclear bombs in Hiroshima haven't been putted there I think Japan would be ruling the world. What a tremendous country, I love their hard work and especially adopting digital technology like cryptocurrency is the example for their own marvelous country growth.

Because in japan the technology is getting more sophisticated. Let alone the first bitcoin maker comes from japan. The growth of bitcoin is very rapid. at an early age children in japan are familiar with technology. many children in japan have created cutting-edge technology. so in japan its modern technology center.

Bitcoin is the  biggest in Japan because of their advance technology. The base of technology is very strong in Japan. Other things is Japan is a developed country.

Japan was always ahead of other countries when it comes to technology. Japanese have improved automotive industries, calculators, television and so on. Japan was the first to accept Bitcoin as a currency, where other countries are still struggling and fighting cryptocurrencies. I wouldn't say it's because the person who created bitcoin is named Satoshi N.

I think it's not just japanese who already recognize bitcoin, but some big european countries too, but in terms of technology is indeed japan always be a leading country, and I think japan is very smart country utilize bitcoin, not even ban it like in other countries

Japan is a developed country, and the one that causes the country to go forward is its government that is able to see the future,
Bitcoin will be much needed in the future for transparent transactions, i think this the reason why Bitcoin so big in japan

Japan has an advance technology than others.  Japan has an own way from leaving and also revive faster.  I remember that Japan was attacked by tsunami then they survive just only one week.  I know that they can do more and can create some more because of too experiments that they do and for some advance tools.

They are a creator of this coin. So, the coin must also spread for their country first.

Japan has always been famous for its advanced technology, this country has always been ahead of the world. Sometimes I think that bitcoin was invented there, it is logical.

Other countries should take the example of Japan. Especially when you consider that this is one of the most advanced countries in the world, which is not afraid of anything new and always ahead.

Japan has always been famous for its technology, it has owned such developments, which none of the other countries have even heard of, and this trend has still been preserved. Therefore bitcoin there quite quickly became popular.

Recently, Japan legalized the crypto currency as a form of payment, and interest in Bitcoin in the country continues exponential growth. In addition, according to companies in the field of crypto currency, such as Coincheck, this year thousands of merchants will begin to accept virtual currency for payment.

I think Japan is the birth country of bitcoin. Aside from the money they can earn on bitcoin, I think they are just supporting it because it was designed and created by their fellow countrymen, Satoshi Nakamoto. Japanese are known to support their very own culture and it is only natural for them to support btc. I was told by my sister who lives in Japan for 30 years that a lot of her Japanese friends doesn't have money as assets. They converted to bitcoin and every time they have extra money, it will go to bitcoin as well.

I think the main reason is japan is the mother country of bitcoin and man of japanese believe new technology.japan is very forward about about new technology and they always believe it.even this is also a reason for huge technical developments in japan

Well, primarily I think its the reason that in all of the countries in the world, Kapan has been the most innovative and most technological embracing location in the whole world. That’s why I think that they are the forst to jump on the bitcoin wagon and start to look for ways on how to integrate it to the sectors of their country which they may deem very essential to the function of bitcoin currency

Good thinking and I'm glad to see bitcoin has a good place especially japanese with china let alone bitcoin is used there even to make transactions using bitcoin also in japan and in china, so i'm sure bitcoin already in legalkan there.

The Japanese financial regulator (FSA) stated about the need to equate Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies to ordinary fiat money. This step, according to the regulator, will contribute to the protection of consumer rights and stimulates the growth of the virtual economy.

Japan is a developed country and a country with the most advanced technology in the world, so I'm not surprised by the large bitcoin in Japan, they embrace the first bitcoin and crypto, because the Japanese government has supported bitcoin.

I think Japan people is inteligent!
They approach  BTC better any country!
 

Japan is very popular country for this topic. This country's people  approve his attitude and BTC is most popular.

Japan make Bitcoin a legally accepted form of payment . :)

Bitcoin is a big deal to Asian countries for a number a reasons.  Japan's culture has taken it much better than most.

Japan has always been advance when it comes to technology and investments, they are very intelligent race and they believe and embrace their technology and their innovation for their lives to be better. Having said that, I think that is the very reason why they accepted Bitcoin with open arms, they know and believe on what it can bring to them. Plus their government is doesn't fear new innovations as long as it is for the better of the country and its people.

When you are one of the most developed countries in the world, I can imagine that you can easily make the transition from old tech to the new tech.
Both in reality and also mentally. Because the Blockchain Revolution has to start mentally. You need to be tech friendly to accept it.

First, the Japanese government acknowledged the legal status of bitcoin in Japan. The government encourages citizens to participate in bitcoin. Domestic companies also support the development of bitcoin. Pay employees in bitcoin. Many stores in the country accept bitcoin.

Japan is pretty smart. They have always been into technology, many steps ahead of the rest of the world They understand bitcoin and they believe in it

The government of Japan began to understand that many Japanese cryptocurrency exchanges are gaining momentum. And if we consider that only in 2015 the turnover of scripts in the country amounted to 185 billion yen (1.67 billion US dollars), the prospects for this financial instrument are simply huge.

The spread of bicoin today is due to developers mostly from japan so that the developers spread the bitcoin so far the bitcoin is almost there in some countries, let alone see the japan government is very supportive with the bitcoin, so that's the bitcoin state of japan to date.

I would say maybe they use bitcoin on more
demand in those country, japan population
is huge and allot of bitcoin whales comes from
japan, so that's why bitcoin is so huge in japan.

It was a very nice idea for japan to use bitcoins because they are doing it in the right way, they allow bitcoins in their country and they are even using cryptocurrency to improve their own economy and not treating it as a bad thing.

You are talking about Japan so brother listen, they want to control the economics of the world as they have in-tensions to be the next super power of the world as this is obvious from their behaviors right now. Since the bitcoins are future currency and these Japanese came to know about this in right time, now their sole purpose is to make a huge industrial empires on bitcoins so that later they can claim to be controlling the world’s economics.

The bitcoin price in Japan continues to rise sharply because of its legal status. Bitcoin is being traded on the Japanese market at a fairly high price. The positive outlook on Bitcoin and the Japanese government's optimistic management of the electronic currency have led to the rapid growth and development of the Bitcoin industry and the Japanese market. Bitcoin in Japan did not stop there. Currently, the Bitcoin Exchange market of Japan is one of the only exchange markets that do not pay. As long as demand for Bitcoin in Japan continues to increase at this rate, Japan's Bitcoin exchange market will continue to show higher prices than other markets.

factors considered to be a positive sentiment for Japan in the world's Bitcoin exchanges, among others are the decline in market share of China, and the existence of regulations from the Japanese government through a cabinet in Japan that approved a set of rules that would legalize Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. this possibility has a strong impact on the growth of the digital currency industry, especially Bitcoin in Japan.

Maybe because of their traditional lifestyle, I mean.. those things they do that makes it possible for them to make their country one of the richest country around the globe. They have very advanced technology and usually choose to do a task with a tool to make the task easier and faster to accomplish. And bitcoin can relate to that, it makes money transactions better than the old ways.. it is also easy to grow and multiply.

Mobile payments, credit card, debit card, digital currency in many countries are in the forefront of the world, Japan now to pay means such as development of mobile payment is going to go into a long, can block chain technology to lead the world!

Bitcoin grow and big in Japan because of the bitcoin started from there and the Japanese public received it very well. In the United States, already in the bitcoin accept well. Bitcoin is just not in the received by developing countries because of the corruption and money laundering practices is very high.

Japan's contribution to cryptocurrencies is still great. Although I do not like Japan, it is undeniable that Japan is still superior to other countries in accepting new things.

The development of cryptocurrencies will be affected by the local state. When a country does not intervene to let it develop, it will make the development of cryptocurrencies more rapid and if so, in which country will cryptocurrencies go to prosperity and boost the economy of that country .

I'm in Japan as of now visiting and I did notice there were a lot of advertisements for Bitcoin use. I think it does have to do with the technological advancements and the fact that much of technology is used here. They want to make things as easy as possible for consumers. Although they are strict in other ways, the idea of making purchasing easier is something they want. I think other countries such as America, don't want to make buying easier and don't favor Bitcoin due to big banks. It is easy to see why they want Bitcoin..their country is run a bit more fairly and equally and they understand that this will be the currency of choice in the future. They are always focusing on the future.

japan is a country that is very open on technology, technology development in the country is very possible for the development of cryptocurrency. and citizens in it is very open to the progress of world of technology. so do not be surprised if the Japanese state will dominate the internet based technology industry. I think many countries have to take the example of the Japanese state for their government's support of technology.

Because Japan is one of the leading countries in terms of technology. Majority of their people are into new technology and innovation so there is no reason why they would not embrace and adopt bitcoin in their country.,

Bitcoin is very big in Japan because they saw the value of bitcoin and the importance of having it as a secondary or even a back up for their currency. Cryptocurrencies are so powerful because they are the next generation of the currency that we have right now and testing and getting used to it will help a lot of people to adjust themselves so when the time comes that the cryptocurrencies are the new type of currency in different parts of the world then it will not become a problem for people to adjust.

Japan is famous on being technologically advanced. They will always follow what's trending in technology to see opportunities. Satoshi Nakamoto, that I don't actually know whether it's pseudo name or real person, hearing of his name sounds so Japanese. japan also known as safest country in the world with almost zero criminal rate, maybe that's why the goverment make it loose in term of regulation

Although I come from the country of Indonesia I am very proud and amazed at the country of Japan. Because the country of Japan is worthy of being imitated in all countries. Japan is a country that is never afraid to accept new technology and in the end, it will grow enormously. I really salute this country. And I hope the Government of my country can imitate the Government of Japan.

Japan is technologically advanced thus majority of its population has no problem accessing bitcoin. Adoption and acceptance was not a problem because a lot embraces these new technology.

I know that bitcoin is a lot of support in japan and many people buy bitcoin in japan because it's legit them and I also know that the government has approved the bitcoin in their country and that bitcoin in japan is also one of the many hold bitcoin the japan

Well, Japan is a well known country for their advanced technology, meaning it is easy for them to innovate such thing as cryptocurrency, and in this case their top choice is bitcoin, I presume. So, it is easy for us to expect that Japan will really grab the advantages that bitcoin offers since it is easy for them.

I think Japanese are the ones who are very well aware of technology and sence the real deal of the furlture. The day from korea bringing regulations to Bitcoin Japan has a positive approach towards Bitcoin and they are even partially trying to give salary for the people in Bitcoin currency and Now Japan has become the first Asian country that are friendly to Bitcoin.

The biggest link between Bitcoin and Japan is that its developer is mainly a Japanese-American. Bitcoin can be widely used in Japan and is also mixed with Japan's expectations and concerns about the new digital currency. With the active support of the Japanese government, Japan has become a "paradise" for the development of bitcoin. Japan has also reaped a great deal of benefits with the active promotion of bitcoin.

Because japan is a country that support digital technology and bitcoin is also a computer-based digital banking system. And the crypto world was born and introduces by a Japanese guy is Satoshi Nakamot..so Bitcoin is Big in Japan.

Japan is the most popular country that have a advanced in technology and I'm no longer wondering why bitcoin is big in japan because of technology is easy to grab a opportunity from there.

Bitcoin is great in Japan than in other countries like in the Philippines because more rich people in Japan are so bigger that they invest money so bitcoin more in their country because many investors in them and us too just working here in the forum.

Japanese regulations help prevent abuse of bitcoins and other encryption for illegal activities.

It's a technically good country, so they see bitcoin as a great opportunity to make more money.

In my opinion, Japanese are very digital technology enthusiast peoples. And they also like the japan-relative name "Satoshi Nakamoto" So it should not be surprising that Bitcoin is so big in Japan.

maybe it is because bitcoin was created by japanese ?
bitcoin is believed created by satoshi nakamoto.
thats why bitcoin in japan is big.

Japan has the right approach to bitcoin it helps that their government are on board and there are many retailers that accept bitcoin as payment. This helps bitcoin to flourish as currency instead of the masses just holding for investment purposes.

Miss bitcoin was in bitcoin at the right time and has been successful people like that can be very influencing.

For the said reason they have a remarkable market of economics throughout the world. Every product of japan is being sold out and bought in every corner of world. That is reason for their success. And their behavior towards bitcoins are amazing. They welcomed bitcoins with core of their hearts and this have been shown from their performance. We must equip ourselves with such motivation.

Japan is always ahead in technology usage, acceptance and execution. The people and the governments co ordinate each other for the growth all the time, that is the key for success. In this regard, cryptocurrency acceptance and the usage shows how Japan is adopting latest technology in a mass and keep their run towards success continues.

Because Japan is very technologically oriented and a great innovator. They are more than ready to jump on anything that they see as the future and wants to become first in it.

Exactly, they have adopted bitcoin as their brainchild and this is what is making Japan so much better with cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. With time i bet the rest of the world will see the impact of bitcoin on their economy and lives of their citenzry.

At the moment only Japan is the country which has full sported the crypto currencies and now we heard that some companies are paying salaries to customers in Bitcoin. It is the best news for crypto currency lovers.

Japan has always been spearheading the implementation of some innovative techniques in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole and so it's bound to happen that it's going to get big in Japan and it was only a matter of time for the whole world to se because they seem to be the only country making the right decisions with bitcoin.

Just want to add this little information:

Why I think bitcoin is famous in Japan because it has been hypothesized that bitcoins were created in Japan. It was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto who allegedly went off the grid to get rid of all the people that keep asking him about bitcoins. I find amazing why Japan can be a beautiful home for bitcoin investors.

Another reason why bitcoin is really big in Japan is because the people and the citizens of this country already accepted and trusted bitcoin. It can even be used for transactions like payment for tuition fees and shop online. This country already proved to us that they are geniuses that can easily adapt technologies.

The Japanese people are some of the most intelligent people on earth. And that is the reason why they have legalized Bitcoin and crypto-exchanges. They have realized that Bitcoins can't be banned, and it will be more beneficial to legalize the trade.

Japan has always been in support of Crytpocurrencies. First, they made it a legal tender. Then, they setup a proper rules and regulations for auditing exchanges and ICOs for safeguarding public investments. Japan always adopt technology enthusiastically. Right now, almost all the vendors and merchants in Japan accepts bitcoin.

their goverment allow all policies bcz they know future of btc

Not only Bitcoins but cryptocurrencies are a very big hit in Japan, Its not really surprising that some people are actually dubbing it the cryptocurrency capital of the world after the China started a huge crackdown on bitcoins.

Japan is a country from a long time they are supporting all crypto currencies as well as bitcoin. They know the importance of crypto currencies. And they know that bitcoin and all crypto currencies are future money. They are supporting free economy and modern world technology. World is going to change one day in sense of bitcoin and all crypto currencies.

in my opinion, the bureaucracy and regulations in japan are not complicated, if they benefit the country and their people will help develop the existing system. japan is also very open with new technology, unlike some european and american countries that just do not want new things like bitcoin in their trade and economy

The volume of bitcoin trade in Japan jumped after the enactment of laws in the country that recognize bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument.

Japan culture is different and they love technology little bit more than other countries. Satoshi Nakamoto is probably not the real name of Bitcoin creator but perfectly selected the nationality of the possible creator if that makes sense.

Hello author! Japan is amazing progressive country and in Japan living very smart people! So it the main reasons why. I forgot but somewhere  I read the more the 25% of transactions are in Japan yen. I mean 25% of CRYPT O pairs is ETH - YEN, BTC-YEN etc. Bravo Japan! Arigato

It is no surprise for me that Japan is open to the idea of Bitcoin, the Japanese people has always been futuristic and technologically advace society. They understand the value and the role of bitcoin in the future and they are now adapting to the change that is happening in our financial system. I think that all countries should adapt this kind of thinking from the Japanese.

Japan has a clear vision about the future with relation to bitcoin. This has made them adopt bitcoin in a legal manner with the support from the government itself. When we take the contribution of cryptocurrency tottering economy of the country, surely it'll be having some contribution. Considering this more countries might legalize bitcoin in the falling years.

Japan has a lot of technology that they can try to integrate Bitcoin with. If they can make that happen then they will have more investors getting their money ready for Bitcoin to pump.

We still don't know who is Satoshi Nakamoto, where do he live? and his face. It's been more than 10 years and no one could solved who is Satoshi Nakamoto. Even though, the name itself comes from Japan, who knows that just a nickname not a real one?

Japanese people are known for their prudency and good outlook of the future. They knew bitcoin would be big in the near future and so they already are buying cryptocurrencies to reserve themselves a seat once bitcoin's value reaches unbelievable amounts. Moreover, the creator of bitcoin is a Japanese so I think it's just normal for us Asians to support our fellow countrymen.

Japan is now the largest Bitcoin exchange market with 50.75 percent market share of the global Bitcoin exchange market. Vice Chairman of BitFury, George Kikvadze, did the analysis. he attributes the surge in trading volume of the Bitcoin exchange market in Japan due to China's new regulatory issue against Bitcoin

Because the best government in the country
They eccept BTC and want to public to anyone known and save it such as a asset

The reason is because of the advance technology in Japan. It is easy for them to transact. The flow of market is also good. Government also support cryptocurrencies.

Because the first time bitcoin was released in japan by satoshi nakamoto and bitcoin became one of the virtual currency that many investors use

There is no proof it was released in Japan and equally there is no proof he was actually Japanese. Nonetheless, it is a Japanese name so perhaps they can claim to be the homeland for bitcoin. We will never know until his/her/their identity is revealed - with Hal passing away I fear we will never know the answer.

Japan is a 1st world country and its very popular country in Asia. One of the best in industry of robotics. I never doubt on why is Bitcoin is popular or big in Japan.

We know that Japan is advance in technology and their government supports cryptocurrency they set rules and regulations and other laws that supports it, Japan sees the potential profit in Bitcoin they allow Bitcoin as their medium of exchange in their country they use Bitcoin as investments and as a payment in different merchants, vendors and stores and now even their bank Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, the world’s eighth-largest bank, is developing its own cryptocurrency, known as MUFG Coin. Japan is also a big help in Bitcoin not only on the price but they influence other countries to also accept bitcoin.

I think Bitcoin is strong in Japan because that's where it's made. In addition, their government almost agreed and considered it to be legal money.

The government of any country plays a vital role in regulation of the bitcoin or any other crypto coin and this is the reason why Japan is having so many investors and traders who are investing their money into it as their government id very much supportive to them and that the government of Japan is taking lot of positive steps too to regulate bitcoin in their country.

the Japanese state strongly supports its citizens who use bitcoin as an asset or tool to transact and on the basis of this support that makes very large bitcoin in Japan. By applying bitcoin as the official currency of course this makes the volume of trading exchanges in Japan very quickly. Even many investors from various countries invest bitcoin in Japan.

The creator of bitcoin satoshi nakamoto is a japanese and its visiom for btc would be an intermediary for fiat in online transaction whic is currently happening now. considering japan is one with the most advance technology they anle to use bitcoin a head ofcother countries do.

Bitcoin is quite big in Asia, Japanese businesses have started accepting payment in bitcoin so this makes it more popular, also because is getting more approval from the media.

japan is currently one of the countries that legalize bitcoin, and Japanese users can trade or trade with the support of the country, so I think that's why in japan bitcoin can be big and have big name.

I think it is because the founder of bitcoin is japanese.
but bitcoin not only big on japan, nowadays bitcoin popularity has reached many countries in the world

Japan has a very rapid technological advancement compared to other countries. the Japanese are also willing to accept technological advances include bitcoin. This gives an advantage to himself because of the bitcoin can be accepted easily there because the Japanese view the bitcoin as a future currency that is nice and one might say Japan is the home of the bitcoin.

Because the transaction volume of the Bitcoin exchange in Japan is legal, although the zero-charge system is already in place, the transaction will not increase too quickly due to machine or illegal orders.

- Japan is considered the cradle for technological development. They like to explore and science from new technologies. that is their love. They were the first countries openly open to the development of bitcoin and crypto. Soon after, the suspicion in the economic relations and the adjustment of tax laws is imperative.

That is because, Japan's financial authorities have legalized bitcoin as the official currency in the land of the sakura. "So prices in Indonesia tend to follow that in Japan alone

because the inventor of the bitcoin comes from the pseudonym Japanese satoshi, automatic bitcoin great there and no matter its popularity high in Japan.

A new reform is often easier to implement and operate in less populous countries, and Japan is relatively a relatively advanced technology country. It may be easier to explain this reform measure.

Well as we all know and as I personally know Japan is one of the most techy (technology country) in the world and bitcoin is made out of knowledge in technology.. and as for my opinion why is so hype in japan when it comes to being business minded Japanese and Chinese is the same.. well in more upgraded ways of business Japanese are more open minded that is why they make bitcoin as a legal virtual currencies and it ok for them if they people makes more money and not being taxed ..while in china (in my opinion again ) they more on making actual money  and not by any technology terms ..and its important to them get what is fot government. well that only my opinion no hates only love. 😊

yes its true, we all know that Japan is one of the advance country having  a most updated technology above all countries and it is well known of its newest technology that impresses the whole world thats why they like bitcoin so much because of its new and improve currency and the most good among all other crypto they see the goodness in bitcoin

I admire Japan's governance especially in terms of bitcoins. If I'm not mistaken, bitcoin was founded by a Japanese. I am currently teaching english to Chinese and I've learned many things about them for the past 4 years. They have a very strict system. As for Japan, they are open to changes. They have embrace bitcoin as part of advancement of their country.

Because Japan is known as a country with high level of technology. This is a good enviroment for Bitcoin to grown up.
The goverments always support Bitcoin and accept it as real money. The even have some special rules for crypto currency :).
Japanese have knowledge about bitcoin so it's easy to be popular. And a small question: Is Satoshi Nakamoto Japanese ?

Because japan is the most high technology of the all even though a 8years old boy can know about bitcoin and bitcoin is now authorize in japan  Smiley

More than nationality causes, the reason as to why bitcoin is so popular and widely-liked in Japan is because of the country's technologically advanced nature. A lot of Japanese out there are computer literate. And bitcoin being an innovative way to investing and holding a promising future to revolutionize currency, became big in Japan

Japan is a modern country, it was obvious that they are jumping on the occasion!

Japan understand the advantage of the technology and exploiting it. A lot is gotten as tax every year from investors. The recent hack will cough out $300m and they are ready to pay due to the faith in the technology. The plan is also to attract the rejected crypto initiated ideas to be the centre of the technology in coming years

bitcoin is developed in Japan because their economy is even more developed compared to other countries so much is investing them big money so their bitcoin price is high.

That is right. Japan is one of the most advanced in technology compare to the other Asian countries and they are also risk takers to try new technologies or invention to make things easier than before. Bitcoin is one of the new technology that we have and it have a lot of benefits for the people that uses it so the Japan didn't hesitate to accept it.

First and foremost bitcoin was invested by a Japanese and it all started from there. Obviously japanese people are patronizing bitcoin as their own. Of course Japan is the most advanced when it comes to its technology that is why bitcoin definitely benefited most of Japanese people.

Bitcoin is an online currency and this Bitcoin has become popular throughout the world. Bitcoin Japan is a big reason why this bitcoin is not big in all countries. The government has introduced this bitcoin in Japan.
Because there are also many countries that the government does not support the law bitcoin and they make many doctrines with this bitcoin. Anyway, my belief that Japan supports Bitcoin, the government hopes that all countries will support but need some time. Bitcoin is working fast in Japan, so Bitcoin Japan is so popular in the country.

I have no doubt in this information because Japan is truly known for its technology. I was surprised that there is a woman representing the bitcoin and I will do research about her. I don't think that they are still battling against the regulators at this moment because they are trying to make ammends for each other.

For most of the countries we all know that Japan is a place of technology , systems , strategies , good investors and many more qualities. They know everything and they keep silent about it. because of great technology they know how to use bitcoin so well, and because of that the business of bitcoin is well known , and well used in japan. and they have big economy of bitcoin.

Japan was into innovation, they already see that this blockchain can make a big progress in the future, blockchain helps us a lot to do projects if we have already an idea. It is a good thing that Japan approaches this far, that if Japan succeeds on implementation it will be based on them.

They always have good future visions

I think, japan is the most country progressive and multi-tasking job can get in japan. Japan is easy get money becauase, in japan is high value of money if convert to the value of money in our country. Many population in japan so, it is cause or possible japan is big country population.

Deflation as a result of people not investing their money and keeping for themselves may be one of the reasons as btc open new ways of investments and the majority would put their money back into circulation which eases the deflation

Since a year ago japan has legalized bitcoin so it is now the world's largest bitcoin user who beat the USA and China, without japan certainly bitcoin price is currently under $ 500 and I'm happy with the new rules in japan so make the future bitcoin more secure.

There's the fact that bitcoin started in Japan so there's more usage there. Also Japan has a very tech savvy population and they know a lot about bitcoin and how it works.

Simply because bitcoin was originated in japan as i.have read to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin related to bitcoin history. They started bitcoin so more or less people in japan would likely to know first with the innovation. This is considered as revolutionary immovation of a currency that refer to us as digital currency. It has a lot of advantage compare to fiat money. As we all.know it is so hard to carry money that may look bulky in our pocket and also it will catch the attention of the theives. So that is why aside from bring atm card this digital currency could be a lot of help. And it could be accepted in thw whole wolrd. Hopefully that it will realized and be accpeted by all the government in the world.

Bitcoin is big in Japan because it was introduced at first there. It is supported fully by people and had been accepted or legalized by the government of Japan.That is really the main reason why btc is big and growing rapidly in Japan.

exactly. That's what I'm about to say. We all know that bitcoin is made by a person in Japan and of course the crypto market comes from Japan. Bitcoin in the No. 1 position of the crypto market is very easy to understand as it is the world's first electronic currency.

Yes, bitcoin has developed best in Japan. The Japanese government accepted bitcoin very early. The government encouraged the development of bitcoin and encouraged people to participate in it, which helped the development of bitcoin. Many stores in Japan now accept bitcoin.

Bitcoin was originated and first introduced in Japan. Btc existence is fully supported by people in japan.Besides that private sector including private multi national companies also support it. The government has adopted and legalized bitcoin operation. Those are the main reasons why btc is big and growing rapidly in japan.

Since Japan is one of the countries that have received bitcoin, bitcoin is already in use by the public in japan, as a means of sale and purchase transactions and bitcoin is also in use, some companies in japan to, pay its employees with bitcoin, it is no wonder that bitcoin very big in japan.

This is a surprise. I'm under the impression that the Japanese are risk averse

Because people accept this new technology and it supported by the government so japanese people support them to the fullest and bitcoin origin is in japan that is why they adopting bitcoin so much.

Because Asians are smart and know that the blockchain tech is the future and there are money to be made.

Bitcoin is big in Japan because Govt regulated cryptocurrency and now cryptocurrencies are accepted as legal tender. That mean Every citizen in Japan can use cryptocurrency to buy goods and services instead of Cash.

That's why hype is so high for cryptocurrencies in Japan.

I think this is where the first bitcoin appears. Japan is a country with strong information technology and internet. The way to access bitcoin through the internet is very fast. Japanese people are knowledgeable and disciplined in their work. So bitcoin is very strong in Japan.

Bitcoin has earned a lot of reputation in Japan. People in Japan have a lot of fun about bitcoin. They know what these bitscan can give them. Bitcoin is very popular in Japan, so bitcoin is big in Japan.

I have heard this news last week and one of my friend told me that bitcoin has become legal currency in Japan and I become very happy because I was impatiently waiting for bitcoin to be legal, it has risen bitcoin value in the whole world, so I think soon same as  Japan in my county bitcoin will be legal currency and will see bitcoin transaction n faster than before, for now there is no kind of money transfer faster and safer as we get bitcoin, so Japan made bitcoin stronger than before with this act of legalization.

Because Japan was one of the first countries to accept bitcoin. The government encourages and accepts bitcoin, which will help people accept it. The government is actively promoting bitcoin, which will help increase the popularity of bitcoin.

Related to the creator of bitcoin, whether it is just speculation or indeed reality, cryptocurrency is very developed in Japan because the level of progress and acceptance of technology there is very good. Society and government are very open to the development of technology.

We all know that japan is a rich country and has a highly progressive technology that they can use to work anytime, anywhere. They also know that working with bitcoin can really do help to them, and especially their government know this and I think accepted this wholely because some other people bitcoin is the source of their money. They have a unity and cooperation and they are willing to understand everything thats why bitcoin is big in japan.

Now it makes some sense,i mean the deflation in the Japanese economy.Also I like the japanese,there are tech-sauvy and will always welcome innovative technology.bitcoin is no exception.

We all know that japan is a rich country and has a highly progressive technology that they can use to work anytime, anywhere. Bitcoin is such a great job to anyone and can realky do help for the living. They also know that working with bitcoin can reall do change lives forever and especially their government know this and I think accepted this wholely because some other people working with bitcoin and gaining through this is the source of their money. They have a unity and cooperation and they are willing to understand everything thats why bitcoin is big in japan.

Exactly,there are research findings that crypto-currency has increased the GDP of the Japanese economy.I wish the crypto 'hostile' countries of the world will learn that cryptocurrencies will actually benefit both its citizens and government-by way of taxation

No wonder why it's big in Japan. A country with excellent technology so they see bitcoin as a great opportunity that they can generate more.
Traditionally and Japanese culture is one of the most optimistic people if we talk about investment.

Japan is a country with a developed economy and infrastructure, the only country in the world that owns advanced technologies and looks to the future. it is not surprising that their attention is drawn to the crypto currency, as this is the currency of the future. In April, Japan passed a law recognizing the bitcoin and other virtual currencies as well as the need for transparency and financial stability.

Japan is actually planning to become the center of cryptocurrency but suddenly this days there is a news where a huge amount of cryptocurrency has been stolen from japan and that's the reason why the prices in the market today is decreasing massively.

I'm not surprised if bitcoin can be big in japan, because as far as I know japanese society has more interest in something new, therefore many japanese people use or accept bitcoin. With so many people using a product for example, it will obviously boost the product itself to be huge.

in my opinion because the Japanese state already recognizes bitcoin as a legitimate payment tool. bitcoin-related laws have also been created. This has caused most bitcoin transactions done in the Japanese market. This is what makes the big bitcoin in Japan

Traditionally and culturally Japanese  are one of the most optimistic people if we're talking about investments. A country of excellent technology so they're  seeing bitcoin as a great opportunity which they can earn more. No wonder why its it's big in Japan.

I will have to agree in everything you have said. Japan is known for being high tech and advanced that makes it very adaptable to bitcoin
Japanese are very lucky to have a government that truly supports its existence and that partakes for the continuous improvement of advancement for bitcoin.

Japan is the country that gave birth to bitcoin. The development of bitcoin in the country of his birth would be interesting for people in the world to see many other countries that prohibit the circulation of digital currency.Japan as a country that pioneered the use of bitcoin continues to make improvements so bitcoin can be accepted and used as a means of payment legitimate. Bitcoin is also being developed so that the deficiencies of bitcoin can be eliminated and countries that prohibit the circulation of bitcoin because of future risks are expected to use bitcoin when bitcoin stability can be done.

Japan is a economic country and i think that they know the importance of crytpo currencies therefore they are giving more preference to online currencies, they are the first who have taken the step and i think that other countries will very soon follow them, because in modern time the importance of crypto currencies cannot be ignore.

I think it's big there because they accept and embrace bitcoins. A nation that is exceptionally advance in
technology and innovation like japan will always be in the forefront of newer solutions. They are so well
adaptive in utilizing and circulation of cryptocurrency and is so open minded with bitcoin's block chain technology.
It's a really big advantage for nations that can adapt and somehow innovate at the same time with new trends
in the market. They are a model nation that seems to be the hub of new technologies and cryptocurrency
is a part of that.

This might have to do with the fact that bitcoin originated in Japan. The name satoshi Nakamoto is japanese too. Also Japan has one of the most tech savvy population in the world, they're are good with computers and techs and so things like cryptocurrencies is not hard for them to adapt to as they already know how it works and how to handle things like it.

Bitcoin in Japan was already regulated to this country anyway. That is not astonishing actually why it is big in Japan. Also as we all know Japan is the nation where the technology is always updated and giving us a new innovative technology especially in this kind of industry in digital currency. Which is the reason why most of the businesses in Japan are bitcoin accepted as payment.

The Japanese are interested in investing in new things. They like the new way of investing, and the BTC is very profitable. They like it.

A good opinion and I like your opinion.
Bitcoin has a big Japanese name because one thing is bitcoin inaugurated Japanese so many people can use it, let alone bitcoin is very influential on everyone so many people who want to use it.

Japan made bitcoin as their way of payments maybe because the one who created it was a Japanese named Satoshi Nakamoto,eventhough he remains anonymous up to this very moment but people became satisfied on its concept of making transactions anonymously.Japan plans to hold bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and lead the way for more improvements and to spread the bitcoins platforms and goals.Many people that bitcoin had been able  to help in lifting up ones living and this is such a rare opportunity that we have nowadays.People will find some ways to be a part of our community and contributed alot on the increasing demands of bitcoin in the market.

Maybe the reason is because Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of bitcoin lives in japan. Aside from that Japan is the most advance when it terms of technology in the whole world so its no wonder that bitcoin is popular in Japan. It's is one factor of having a advance technology to make bitcoin more popular in Japan that's why a lot people there maybe are bitcoin earners.

Firstly, unlike regional rivals China and South Korea, whose regulators have clamped down hard on the crypto-currency, Japan has welcomed it with open arms. In April, japan passed a law recognising bitcoin and other virtual currencies as legal tender -- while also stressing the need for transparency and financial stability. Many well known japanese businesses have started accepting payment in bitcoin and one firm made waves when it said it would pay part of its employees' salaries in the currency if they wish. And furthermore the involvement of big companies, the sense of security derived from government approval and media exposure really brought in a whole new group of people to the market.

It's because Japanese are the pioneers of technology. They are the one who understand well the technology behind bitcoin, the blockchain technology. And because have not banned bitcoin unlike in other countries. They are legalizing bitcoin in Japan. Also, people say that the inventor of bitcoin is a Japanese.

Japan was one of the first countries to accept bitcoin. People in the government accept bitcoin, so bitcoin is highly regarded in Japan. Many stores accept bitcoin, and some companies use it to pay their salaries.

Japan is well known in technology adaptation :) so no wonder they could not missed the revolutionary blockchain, and knowing satoshi nakamoto is a japanese name.lol

Bitcoin isn't a scam its legit guys, a cryptocurrency to be exact. It becomes a scam if people play you in their dirty game and that what Japan has seen and make this thing as a great opportunity in their country, am glad that although it is not yet big here in our country but still we are seeing this as a potential and hope we will be one of the top holders of bitcoin as well.

Bitcoin is like a magnet that always attracts the attention of many people including Japanese people themselves so the government also allows the existence of bitcoin because bitcoin is very profitable.

Japan is famous on being technologically advanced. They will always follow what's trending in technology to see opportunities. Satoshi Nakamoto, that I don't actually know whether it's pseudo name or real person, hearing of his name sounds so Japanese. japan also known as safest country in the world with almost zero criminal rate, maybe that's why the goverment make it loose in term of regulation

Japan is one of the most advanced country and it is one of the best country in the asia. They are also risk takers because grabbed the opportunity from bitcoin and they are slowly implementing the system of the cryptocurrencies to their citizens and it is very effective because it is already a lot of months that passed but japan is still with bitcoin.

The Japanese are one of three developed country in Asia, which is not a coincidence. The robots, the technologies they do, are not even made in America at this time. I think you should think about it and you should give this question to yourself again.

Progressive country that does what is best for its people.

The main reason behind so much hype of Bitcoin in the Japanese Market is because of the mentality of their Country Citizens and the Government.
The Government of Japan is always working to improve the efficiency and life of their citizens by adapting to new technologies which are beneficial for the market even in the terms of Economy, while people of Japan are always curious behind the technology and utilising it in their day to day life.

But in all other Countries such as India, China, Japan etc are very setting boundaries for their citizens by not allowing them to use the new technology claiming it as an Axe for the Society.

Japan is a country with a high bitcoin trade because of the increasing demand for Bitcoin and virtual currency related services in Japan. Japan's support for digital money is extremely strong, and they recognize bitcoin as a smart internet money under Blockchain technology.

 Japan is a very advanced country and its technology is global, and in japanese state of sleep is very little, this is what makes the country japan in the know the technology, and not surprising that the first known bitcoin in the world comes from japanese named Satoshi Nakamoto.

The Japanese are very intelligent people and love new technology. Usually, what is popular in Japan is becoming popular in the world

I do not really understand why the bitcoin is so big, if I think big bitcoin because the Japanese people who founded bitcoin and the name of the Japanese is Satoshi Nakamoto.

because of bitcoin is very easy to use of her countries. bitcoin is big way to improve there countries for big profit and quikly income. and the name who created of bitcoin satoshi nakamoto is from japan. so many people of there countries accept this because of satoshi nakamoto and the bitcoin was so succesful of there countries.hoping that all countries in the world we have bitcoin to improve also my countries.

The attitude in places like China and even Korea is one of the people battling against the regulators. There is huge interest in these two nations from the citizens, but regulators have put their foot down.
China’s ban on ICOs, and then exchanges, set a huge precedent in terms of the hard-nosed approach to digital currencies.
Korea also recently started taking steps towards its own style of the ban on digital currencies , however, despite that, there is still massive interest.

Japan was also the pioneer in terms of Bitcoin adoption as about six months ago there was a boom in businesses trying to integrate Bitcoin payment systems . Even salaries are starting to be paid partly in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin also comes at a great time for the investment-savvy Japanese as ultra-low interest rates from the deflation-battling central bank that has left investors scratching their heads for places to find returns on their cash.
However, some are suggesting that it is more hype and mania than savvy investing.

because many Japanese understand bitcoin and invest in bitcoin, the majority of japanese people work by using robots / sophisticated tools controlled by humans. Japan also includes the most centralized bitcoin market, about 99% of BTC trade volume occurs only on three exchanges.volume this trade soared after the enactment of a law in japan that acknowledged bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument.

Bitcoin is really big and hype in japan because it is where it originates. Because of the advanced technology of Japan even their money they want it to be more secure and modernized. When bitcoin was made, Japanese government supported the bitcoin community and promote it to their citizens thats because they will benefit on it by increasing their financial economy.

Because satoshi nakamoto is originated in japan. And i think bitcoin is big in japan because japanese is open minded in any kind of thing and i know that japan can handle any kind of things because of the people itself, because they do so much value on discipline. Because if you have discipline, you can do all the thing even it was so hard to do. Thats the reason why japan is a rich country.

Because the Japanese bitcoin market is among the most centralized. Approximately 99% of BTC / JPY trade volume occurs only on three exchanges.
The volume of bitcoin trade in Japan jumped after the enactment of laws in the country that recognize bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument.
I will be very happy, and always hope in my country will endorse with 100% growth of bitcoin.

In the process of Internet development, Japan was the first to enter the era of mobile Internet, which is already familiar to all. But there is a big chance that Japan will be the first to enter the era of bitcoin applications, and many may not be aware of it.

Japan's enthusiasm for learning new things is always so full, it's traditional. The ancient study of the han and tang dynasties, the recent study of Europe and the United States, this change from the Japanese text can be clearly seen. In the han dynasty, a large number of Chinese characters were used. Modern Europe and the United States, using a large number of pseudonyms. Now, with such liberal support for bitcoin, Japan is finally leading the world in the currency area.

because the creator of bitcoin is a japanese? hahah im not sure maybe, after all the name satoshi nakamoto is a japanese name.

This depends on the attitude of the local government. Japan’s attitude toward Bitcoin is relatively supportive. It is easy to develop. This is why Bitcoin is accepted by most people in Japan.

Most scientist are fluent in English speaking so it's still a possibility that Satoshi was a Japanese. I strongly believed that he is even though I do not have solid evidences.

Bitcoin is big in Japan but there is a possibility that it will also crumble if you heard the news that bitcoins regulation in Japan became more stricter. This new regulations can no longer be complied by bitcoin exchanges and thus they have no choice but to shutdown. It was more than 1 exchange but if even 1 exchange can comply with the requirements bitcoin will still blossom in Japan.

JAPAN plans to become the Bitcoin capital of the world as the Asian country continues to welcome cryptocurrency investment despite several high profile hacking attacks, according to investment experts. The Tokyo Government is hoping the capitalise on the growth in interest for cryptocurrencies as their opportunity to improve the Japanese economy.

I agree. Japanese technology is very good that makes their development increase dramatically. However I have asked some Japanese friends about bitcoin. One of them said that a famous businessman of Japanese stated that those who hold bitcoin will be rich. However, there aren't many Japanese hold or collect bitcoin. My Japanese friends even said that they don't own bitcoin. They prefer office jobs.

Well there is the fact that bitcoin started in Japan and also Japan is a very tech savvy country and they are very good with technology s adoption isn't hard there.

The volume of bitcoin trade in Japan jumped after the enactment of laws in the country that recognize bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument.

maybe Japan is open for a new technology and they think that not all of the new technology is bad for the human so they accept bitcoin in Japan and this makes bitcoin become big in Japan. and if other countries do the same, I think bitcoin will bigger again so the spreading of bitcoin could be in all country and more people will come and use bitcoin too.

Japan missed the age of the Internet and was reluctant to miss the block chain, so the Japanese government strongly supports bitcoin's development, even though it considers it risky. Last October, for example, the FSA, the financial services authority, issued a virtual currency exchange licence, recognising the legal status of bitcoin in Japan. The BTC is the ultimate belief in all cryptographic virtual currencies, and the recognition that bitcoin is the equivalent of giving the green light to other encryption.

I think Japan's is pro bitcoin approach could be the reason why bitcoin is big in Japan people in Japan are more interested in the bitcoin because rules and regulations are not so rigid should be very flexible there and also official, that's why it is big in Japan.

For so long years past japan is very well known not just of their economy, but also the descipline they have practice always. That's why more of their people prefered to choose bitcoin, and as good results of hardworks they adapt digital currency. As a growing country, the demand of bitcoin is now highly recognized in Japan so they now became famous worldwide. More other countries now is getting interested with how great this bitcoin asset has become to be, most of them think that profit is with bitcoin even though its volatile.

Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto has something to do with it  :P
If Satoshi is a real man and its not just a nickname, he is definitely japonese

I think because japan is the most trust to bitcoin and the technology there supports huge bitcoin mining so much success is also due to bitcoin

All in all, I believe that Japan is always several steps ahead of other countries in terms of technology and its adoption. While others are still pulled back to the old and conventional norm, Japan is looking forward to the next innovation in technology. The world is dominated by countries that are badly stuck in the obsolete systems, of practices that are considered archaic. Japan is not this kind of country. Although the culture is kept very much strong and alive in their lives and day to day practices, the technological setting is pretty advanced.

Why bitcoin is big in Japan
Because bitcoin comes from japan, bitcoin is grown to this day. So do not be surprised if the big bitcoin in japan.

As we all know bitcoin started in Japan (claimed), by Satoshi Nakamoto (claimed) which started in 2009. Of course it started to be popular in Japan, for we all know Japan is an advance country, including the ways of business. and so the group who discovered a way to spread and shout their name for the people top be informed about their company. Actually in Asia, Japan is only the second biggest number of people using bitcoin, South Korea ranked first with the most numbered bitcoin users in Asia. I think that the reason bitcoin is famous in Japan is because, this is where bitcoin came from and also because of the advancement of how they introduce their business.

Yes Japan has lot of new technologies and bitcoin is one of them so they know very well that how they can make their economy bright and good using new technologies so they are using bitcoin for the betterment of their country they are not putting any restrictions on bitcoin to be use, people are openly using bitcoin, and truest me bitcoin is almost legal in Japan and in south Korea as well, so they are well developed which made the value of bitcoin higher over there.

There may be two reasons
a. Japan’s policy is very friendly to Bitcoin. Japan is the only country in Asia that declares legal Bitcoin. The Japanese exchange is legally protected by the Japanese government.
b, China's ban. China’s ban has caused Chinese people to seek new trading locations overseas. Japan is a very good choice. A large number of transactions have shifted Japan and brought Japan a large number of trading users.

bitcoin is great in japan because people there are rich in their money so much money is so expensive bitcoin in their country and you are growing.

Because Japan is probably the first country to develop bitcoin and has been recognized by some other countries about bitcoin.

In your joke I think there is truth! A European or an American would not choose such a nickname! So that full of vzmozhno that a man from Japan. And in general, the Japanese are very reasonable and would not be surprised if this is true!

Maybe because Japan is a source of technology in the world. Bitcoin is work by technology. So the Japan see that bitcoin will give them good effect to their subordinate. And bitcoin is made by a Japanese, remember?

coz the bitcoin is beggining or the first holder of bitcoin is japan.

Bitcoin started in Japan which is an obvious reason why it is so big there and they love anything that has to do with tech as they are very tech savvy

japan has no commercial natural resources so they embrace technology and innovation ,so this makes them compete in global markets

I think if why bitcoin is big in japan because, japan is a big at wealth country so, possible happen is many users in japan use bitcoin. In japan is muli-tasking work to get a lot of money and time is must be always in front. Japan is a progressive country in our world so, it is the reason if why Bitcoin is big in Japan.

Japan also set its own precedent in the understanding of Bitcoin as back in April it was announced that Bitcoin was accepted as legal tender, instantly showing a positive approach from the government.

Japan is a country that has a very advanced technological development. and of course bitcoin is perfect for them. what's more, their progress is very fast. even the name of the inventor of bitcoin, is the name of the Japanese.

Because Japan government regulate bitcoin.
Japan have most advance technology and he know power of blockchain.

Because japan have a very large population and they almost all use bitcoin. there own bitcoin is legal. I am sure that people already understand that the country is very advanced in technology. like today's bitcoin and blockchain

Because the first bitcoin out in Japan or the manufacture of bitcoin was made by a Japanese named Satoshi Nakamoto. So reasonable if the bitcoin is great in japan.
 

Bitcoin is big in Japan because Japan is one of the most advanced countries. Starting from the technology and other developments that exist in the country. Japan is a country that has no doubt and Japan is very fast to accept new technologies such as Bitcoin. Hence until now, Bitcoin can be big in Japan. Other countries should be able to imitate the attitude of the Government of Japan.

The BTC's advanced concept of payment is approved by the Japanese government.

Japan has a shortage of resources, and a lot of BTC can be used in exchange for corresponding mineral resources!

Its large bitcoin in a country like Japan because of its government support does not prohibit its community to use bitcoin, on the other hand some places in japan receive bitcoin as a means of payment of shopping transactions.

These countries are lovers of technology and they found bitcoin technology as one of the most beautiful and interesting one which is not to be left behind and they take advantage of it to improve their economic

these sort of nonentities might be very imperative for some, nations to lighten open observation and dread. Nearly the entire world is as of now battling crypto fud, be it universal or residential, and we require some solid folks in crypto who can do this. All the huge folks I have seen so far simply shill or fud or purchase stuff, it appears to be most have no enthusiasm for it subsequent to getting rich.

Strong legalization campaign and people being interested in technology as well

The main reason for all this is that Government of Japan has legally accepted the Bitcoins. When the government is giving such good response to bitcoins, then general public of those countries can easily use bitcoins in all the walk of life. And of course they will be those who will be the benefices.

Bitcoin is founded by Japanese people and in Japan is also allowed the transaction bitcoin. so bitcoin is increasingly used by other countries and there are also some countries that prohibit.

Bitcoin big in Japan is because Japan recognize and support Bitcoin and the advance technologies that bitcoin have also appreciate by Japan because Japan is the tech Support country, thus Bitcoin is big in Japan.

First of all the founding father of bitcoin is a Japanese named Satoshi Nakamoto. Japanese are supportive of the invention of their own citizen. Other than that we know that Japan is a high technology country and they're just making used of what they have. They found bitcoin helpful in everyday life so they stuck with it.

Because Japan is support cryptocurrency. They intend to make cryptocurrency a replacement for the current financial system.

What I do know is that Japan loves technology and even there is very fast developing technology, and even had news that the Japanese government has started to formalize Bitcoin as payment, I hope the big country out there can imitate the Japanese country ...

if my knowledge of japan had taken over bitcoin in china country, because china it has banned bitcoin transaction in their country and this opportunity japan to raise bitcoin. so now this is the biggest country that hold bitcoin yes is in japan and its government is also very support bitcoin in japan

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are another way to take advantage, because science and advanced technology often mean a lot, so why not take the risk?

Bitcoin is big in Japan because the Japanese are investors and they love technology, bitcoin is a new innovation to man especially the blockchain.  And we know China and Japan for their great inventions,  also they have high policy of how their money can be spent , so investing in bitcoin opens them to more people and more business.

It is true. While most governments are worried about the bad effects of bitcoin, Japan has accepted and adapted well to the lives of its people. So the development of cryptocurrency in there is very good, reciprocity between the legality of government and the belief of the community strongly support the development of cryptocurrency.

I really admire Japan because it is also known as a country with high level of technology. Japanese goverments always support bitcoin and accept it even if they have some special rules for crypto currency.

I don't doubt about the japan is big in bitcoin becausewe know, the japan is one of the countries that have a modern technology, so there's no reason that they don't want it.also, the japan is a good country they want to take a risk and they know what it is good in their country. They don't think about the risk because risk is always here

I think Japan's economic development is affected by manufacturing from China. If Japan wants to change its current economic status, it must seek new growth points. The activity of Bitcoin transactions has attracted the attention of the government, especially when the Chinese government announced the implementation of regulatory policies on Bitcoin exchanges, while the Japanese government announced the legalization of Bitcoin, and issued legal licenses to virtual currency exchanges. Some netizens have reported that Bitcoin can bring a lot of tax revenue to the Japanese government, which will drive an annual increase of 0.1% of GDP.

What I know is that Japan is very open with bitcoin and japan strongly supports the use of digital currency. This is a very positive and extraordinary thing because not many countries are making that decision. I am very happy with the market conditions in japan, they have a cautious view of crypto. Other countries must learn from Japan and start implementing Bitcoin's financial system. This is an indispensable thing and should be made a regulation immediately if it is to apply it to a country.

Japan does not want to be left behind in the financial technology revolution, and the bitcoin inauguration is the first step for Japan to achieve its goal of making the economy in this country better

Japan is a country which always adopt technology first even though other countries are thinking or yet to decide, that is the reason Japan is the HUB for technology and technology innovation. The government and people always coordinate for such technological revolution which other country or governments don't have.

Japan is one of the countries that first embraced bitcoin and legalized it. its more of a safe haven for Bitcoin and bitcoin users as all transactions can be freely made.

japan a step ahead of the whole planet. :)

Bitcoin grow and big in Japan because of the bitcoin started from there and the Japanese public received it very well. In the United States, already in the bitcoin accept well.

Bitcoin is big in Japan because we all know that japan is the one leading country in terms of advanced technology,and Japan is one of the big number of users of bitcoin in the world.

I have watched who's that Miss Bitcoin and she's attractive and beautiful, I want to meet her in personal. <3

They are ahead in technology and this is why they are embracing new technology like bitcoin which is helpful to their payments.

Let say technology is their part of life, they derive pleasure in creating new technologies and bitcoin is one which they have embraced for the growth their ecnomy, they is why they have the largest investors.

Bitcoin in Japan is big because the law supports it. Many investors are investing because of their high technology

Japan is a kind of responsible country they know when it is right or not, they know the limitations on how they use the things
people are well educated, the government support their needs. They use it in a good way for them to earn more, also to help their parents as
a students they want to be proud of us.

Bitcoin is really big and hype in japan because it is where it originates. Because of the advanced technology of Japan even their money they want it to be more secure and modernized. When bitcoin was made, Japanese government supported the bitcoin community and promote it to their citizens thats because they will benefit on it by increasing their financial economy.

i am very supportive of btc and i am sure btc is a future investment and btc is very useful for me, btc is future inveatasi and btc digital money is very useful for me. japan is the biggest btc city and in japan i am sure btc will be no1 in the world

I think if you look at japans relationship to tech and you will see that they are the first on to pretty much everything. Its ingrained in the culture now. There is a reason its the most sexless society with one of the worlds lowest birthrates, they're all distracted

Japan embraces innovations more than any other country in my opinion that is why bitcoin and the cryptocurrency family itself is in the spotlight of the country's economical relation to the world. The online market in Japan offers good field for crypto business. Their government promotes good business relation and willing to try the trending and popular demands in the market currently

we all recognize that Japan is a country that applies technology in people's lives and is supported by the government, and it is not surprising that Bitcoin goes to Japan, everyone in Japan is interested in bitcoin with all its advantages, and it is certain that bitcoin will flourish in Japan..

Why bitcoin is big in Japan
Because bitcoin comes from japan, bitcoin is grown to this day. So do not be surprised if the big bitcoin in japan.

Japan is a developed country and the most technologically advanced country in the world so I'm not surprised that the big bitcoin is in Japan. Japan first embraced bitcoin and other crypto because the Japanese government has supported bitcoin.

Because the creator of bitcoin is originated from japan. Japan are known for technology so that they accept all the new technology and make it great. Japan accept bitcoin because they see that bitcoin have potential, and it can help their countrymen to earn money from bitcoin. Japan government do what will be good for their country, and for their people. Thats why bitcoin is big in japan.

Because the Japanese understand the potential of bitcoin in the future, and according to my knowledge Japan is the first country to bake bitcoin for the first time, from there it seems that they are really serious about bitcoin.

Bitcoin is one of the greatest innovation in my opinion so I am not surprise that Japan, a country whose government's support new technology and futuristic views will accept bitcoin with open arms. Japan has the reputation to engage and be competitive with other "rich" countries in the West. Their economy is already amazing and I hope crptocurrency will continue to lead its growth.

japan always develops the latest technologies, and bitcoin is one of them. probably a Japanese researcher, is interested in developing bitcoin as a fast, instantaneous transaction tool. we can see it later.

This is because Japan is the place where bitcoins are produced. The Japanese government allows bitcoin to operate. They encourage people to use copper bitcoin. The Japanese government is planning to build a bitcoin capital center. There are many Japanese who invest in bitcoin. Many banks in Japan accept bitcoin payments. The bitcoin market in Japan is booming.

Because Japan is one of the leading countries in terms of technology. Majority of their people are into new technology and innovation so there is no reason why they would not embrace and adopt bitcoin in their country.,

I think Japan is a developed country. Information technology in Japan is highly developed. This is advantageous for bitcoin operations. The Japanese are very hardworking and persistent. They like to invest in bitcoin. The Japanese government accepts for bitcoin activities and encourages people to use bitcoin.

Despite all these years, where many countries completely or partially stopped the usage of Bitcoin Japan is always the one supporting Bitcoin and crypto in their country. This clearly is making them ahead in technology, they  have also integrated Bitcoin transactions into number of things. Moreover, the shift of companies from China to Japan when last year China banned ICO also helped to boast Bitcoin in Japan. These all things clearly indicate that Bitcoin will have a great future in Japan.

Because Japan is the most developed country in the world, in my opinion. And by the way, it is possible that bitcoin was born there.

Japan has always been ahead of the world with its technology. And in the case of bitcoin, this country is also not lagging behind and this confirms the status of the advanced state.

Japan is always open to innovation and technology. When various countries in asia commit bitcoin offenses, japan actually accepts bitcoin and relieves it.

Japan as a country that pioneered the use of bitcoin continue to make improvements so bitcoin can be accepted and used as a means of payment legitimate. Bitcoin is also being developed so that the deficiencies of bitcoin can be eliminated.

The development of modern technologies is the main factor in the development of the country as a whole. And Japan understands this like no other country. Therefore, bitcoin is developing so well there.

Because supposedly the creator of bitcoin originated from Japan. Japan is also a developed country and Japanese citizens are very open-minded with technology so can easily accept bitcoin.

I don't know what bitcoin would have been like if Japan hadn't taken it that way. Support of advanced countries for developing cryptocurrencies is very important.

Because they are always a step ahead from other countries in technology.

Revolutions have always found resistance. It would be surprising if governments were happy to meet cryptocurrencies.this is an absolutely normal process. Your bride, too, is unlikely to immediately agree to marry you

the most reason why bitcoin in japan is simply means that japan has major investors and bitcoin miner over there country with high commitment towards the business and every investors carry them self along, than other countries. when it come in time of investment.

I think the digitized bitcoin digital currencies are very big in Japan because in japan country very appreciate and have high integrity about technological progress which means japan receive all technology that can make its country become state developed and sophisticated. look at how bitcoin economic conditions are currently very good and growing.

japan always develops the latest technologies, Japan is The best devolved country in the world. Japan accept bitcoin because they see that bitcoin have potential.
Japan is always the one supporting Bitcoin and crypto in their country.

Firstly, unlike regional rivals China and South Korea, whose regulators have clamped down hard on the crypto-currency, Japan has welcomed it with open arms.

In April, Japan passed a law recognising bitcoin and other virtual currencies as legal tender -- while also stressing the need for transparency and financial stability.

Bitcoin is big in Japan because they are legally adopt Bitcoin. The government introduce Bitcoin to thier community although fiat is present in thier daily uses. Also Japan is planning to be the center of Bitcoin, and Japan also known as the technology innovator.

Hey, mate are you sure on what you've been talking? Well, actually bitcoin didn't originated in japan since before bitcoin didn't know where came from and the one who was invented is still unknown in which satoshi nakamoto is just a code name. On my opinion, regarding bitcoin is big in japan, to make it clear the value of bitcoin is just the same throughout the world maybe the point is the bitcoin in japan is very demand as it is very useful in terms of payment transaction as the bitcoin really support their government which also help the economic growth in their country.

Japan is the base of technology Asia, japan will not want to be left behind in terms of technology, Japanese public interest like novelty is very high and regular than other countries in Asian. Let alone crypto for japan is not new.
Although recently the Japanese authorities have made a new regulation on crypto trading that affects the two crypto trading companies to go bankrupt but this doesn't make the price of crypto in Japan decreased

because Japan is a country with a highly developed technology. and it is rumored that the inventor of the blockchain itself is Japanese, I do not mention the name because it is just a rumor. ??? ???

we all know if japan is a country that has legalized bitcoin, japan has now seen if the potential of cryptocurrency is very good and japan has a favorable action. so I think japan is right to make a big bitcoin in that country.

Agree, no wonder why Japan usually is in the top 3 country that has the best technology in the world. Because they know and they can see the potiental from things that others can't see like Bitcoin.
They applied it into their daily life, normal life and that could be a huge move that change everything.

In my opinion because indeed the Japanese state has a very advanced society in their mindset. Secondly, the founder of Bitcoin himself called from Japan influenced the mobility of Bitcoin development in the country, which then enthusiastically Japanese citizens with digital currency is very good because the country many people who have various ideas for development affairs in the country.

That is correct that they know the importance of bitcoin for the future, and therefore they have taken the step, i am sure that very soon other countries will also realize the importance of bitcoin and hope that they will also legalize bitcoin in their country, i am also expecting that my government will also take a very positive step about bitcoin and will consider bitcoin as legal currency.

Bitcoin is already lealize on most countries and i think there were only few left who still dont have legalize it but i believe sooner or later , those countries will surely follow the trend soon.

Bitcoin is big in japan because of the population of it . We all know that japan is a big country with a big population , japan is also a fast moving country that evolves faster when it comes to technology , that is why they instantly embrace bitcoin because bitcoin is the most latest currency that has advance features.

Recently, Japan legalized the crypto currency as a form of payment, and interest in Bitcoin in the country continues exponential growth. In addition, according to companies in the field of crypto currency, such as Coincheck, this year thousands of merchants will begin to accept virtual currency for payment.

because japan is a country that supports the development of crypto, and bitcoin comes from japan. therefore the price of crypto is very high in japan. and the Japanese government legalized transactions with crypto. for example like xrp which will be used by japan banks

Japanese people are always good with technology and they are well educated people they can see the huge potential in Bitcoin and Blockchain.

Japan recognized bitcoin as a legal form of payment last year. There's already more than 4,500 stores in Japan that allow payments with bitcoin, and some sources say that number may increase five times by the end of this year.

Japan is  dominant ICO market in Asia, and one of the fastest-growing in the world. Internet and IT behemoth GMO recently announced a token sale.
 Financial services firm SBI Group announced no fewer than eight new cryptocurrency-based businesses.
, the country’s continental neighbors, dogged by blanket bans and restrictive legislation, are flocking to move their ICOs,
with Coincheck claiming to have received “hundreds of requests from Chinese startups” requesting to list their tokens.
Even local municipalities governing a few hundred people are getting in on the act

i hoe that other country will use bitcoin like japan, because we all know that japan is the one country that accept new technology and they don't block and banned the new technology in the public, i think if all of country like japan i think the new technology especially bitcoin will grow up in this world

Japan is an advanced country. Japan is also very much open-minded in terms of the latest technologies. After all, the country is one of the most active in terms of producing the latest advancements in technologies. Unlike China that appears to be ahead in terms of economy but is actually very backward in terms of open-mindedness, Japan has openly accepted future technologies such as Bitcoin. Obviously, it has become the cryptocurrency hub in Asia. 

Japan has any infrastructures to that required to apply bitcoin as payment methode and all people there are also very usual with technology. Japan is good environment for bitcoin users. Actually there are also other countries that begin to accept bitcoin.

Bitcion is big in Japan it is because people in Japan  had already the high technology an they can easily adapt what's new specially in bitcoin.they are not easily give up even if the value of btc is low they invest more.

Everyone else is doing it now and I heard they are making a lot of money. I have to get on it now. That’s a very Japanese way of thinking. To be honest, I am not sure if people are buying into Bitcoin based on rational decision-making. It feels more of a short-term irrational mania to me.  :) :) :) :) :) :)

The volume of bitcoin trade in Japan jumped after the enactment of laws in the country that recognize bitcoin as a legitimate payment instrument. even the Japanese bitcoin market is among the most centralized. Approximately 99% of BTC / JPY trade volume occurs only on three exchanges. About 80% of JPY / BTC trades take place at Bitflyer and Bitflyerfx exchanges. Coincheck followed as the second largest Japanese stock exchange (15%), and Zaif as the third exchange (4%).

the factor of the law in Japan that makes bitcoin higher and big in japan, the government gives freedom to traders and the public to have bitcoin and can be used as income.

There are some reasons why bitcoin is big in japan. First, bitcoin was introduced in japan in 2009. The second , it is accepted and legalized by the government. That is why it can grow well because people and all users also supported strongly.

Japan's reasonable and effective regulatory policies, including KYC regulations and ICO guidelines. Under the premise of protecting citizens' rights and interests, the Japanese government has made the domestic encryption money market prosperous and developed, which is worthy of learning and learning from all countries.

It is never a surprise that Japan would be very much open and adaptive to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a great innovative technology that would be a huge help on our financial systems so Japan knows a great technology once they see one. They are known as a technologically advanced nation plus the fact that they have investment savvy people that is why they are very excited, supportive and adaptive to Bitcoin and they want to maximize the good things that they can get out of it.

Bitcoin became very large in Japan because the first of course bitcoin has full support provided by the Japanese government and this will certainly be many investors from various countries who go to Japan to conduct investment activities in the country. I think that's some of the reasons why bitcoin grows in Japan and one of the reasons is as I said that government support will be one of the bitcoin growth factors.

The government has accepted virtual currency and some restaurants, cafes, banks have traded bitcoins and the government has set policies to make bitcoin more stable. So bitcoin is in place for Japan

The first major Bitcoin scandal occurred in Japan (remember the Mt Gox robbery?). That probably prompted them to apply strict regulations and guidelines for crypto-trading. But for their credit, they have never tried to discourage or ban crypto-trading.

We know that Japan is one the most progressive country in Asia. That's why it is not surprisingly why bitcoin was big in Japan. Japanese people are so very intelegent so that they use their knowledge to create new things tha lead to their modernization and advancement in the technology.  

Maybe because Their one of the leading high tech country and the japanese saw a lot of potencials that Btc has to offer for their nation.. Their also one of the big supporters of crypto currencies.. Btc is acceptable to their goverment as well..

Japan is known as a financial power in the financial world, so I'm not too optimistic about your views. In particular, Japan accepts Bitcoin and Crypto as legitimate, and I've seen a topic in this forum in the past that posted a picture of a Bitcoin advertisement hanging on a high rise building in Japan.

Yeah I would agree.They really know how bitcoin and crypto currency grow to be more successfully of an income that creates a big value to all people in this world.

because japan has legalized bitcoin as a valid payment instrument. the youth of the community welcomed bitcoin positively even they believed that bitcoin encouraged their economic growth, japan accounted for nearly half of all total trade cryptocurrency. bitcoin also encourages the purchasing power of the Japanese people.

Why Bitcoin is Big in Japan ??
I think Japan is a very advanced country, they use technology to facilitate everyday life.
No exception Bitcoin, Bitcoin is considered the latest technological result as a digital currency that facilitates transactions that the Japanese do. Many of the benefits gained from managing investments with Bitcoin.
Every country people use the technology so that many Japanese people who use Bitcoin and the Government of Japan strongly supports the existence of Bitcoin.

because a lot of Japanese influence on the main development is the founder of Bitcoin originating from Japan and also due to the enthusiasm of Japanese society with Bitcoin is very high therefore Japan can be said to be a base Bitcoin from around the world that has a very rapid development.

It may be explained that Japan has more advanced ideas and Bitcoin will bring more convenience to them, so people in Japan are more interested in Bitcoin.

Japan is also one of the sources of high-technology uses to many people spread out throughout the world that's why we are not wondering why Japanese country is a large volume of users of BITCOIN and they are not making a bad intention to be a Bitcoin crackdown because they know that Bitcoin is a big help for every individual.

I personally think that the final point in the original post probably has the biggest influence in the equation. The Japanese have had to endure Zero or even negative interest rates since 2011 that is 7 years without any yield and of course negative in real terms against inflation. People want to put their money somewhere and get a return so Bitcoin was a simple choice.

In Japan, the government's favorable attitude toward the crypto-currency. There, bitcoin has been recognized as an official means of payment since April last year. The acceptable rules for the circulation of crypto currency and its taxation have been established. Crypto currency yields to the state, gross domestic income in Japan over the past year due to the introduction of the crypto currency increased by 0.3 percent. Citizens earn money on the crypt. Therefore, there is a common interest of citizens in the crypto currency. Even if about 20-30 percent of the population know about the crypto currency, in Japan this percentage of awareness reaches 80.

The volume of bitcoin trade in Japan jumped after the enactment of the law in the country which recognizes bitcoin as a legal means of payment. Now about 60% of bitcoin trade takes place through the Japanese market including the most centralized. About 80% of JPY / BTC trades take place at Bitflyer and Bitflyerfx exchanges. Coincheck followed as the second largest Japanese stock exchange (15%), and Zaif as the third bourse (4%).

Japan is a great nation that understands since very early the importance of science and technology, being as highly educated as it is, it's no surprise that they've embraced cryptocurrency so quickly! I remember the bank of Tokyo being one of the first government companies in the world to address and legalize cryptocurrency, cheer for Japan!

In terms of modern technology, japan are included in here. Becayse japan are good in modern technology and i think they allowed it to enter in their country because bitcoin is like a modern money that's why they allowed it to use free in their country. Also, they see the advantage of the bitcoin that others can't see.

I think it's because bitcoin is "born" from Japan, so no wonder if bitcoin is big in its own country, ie Japan. Other than that Japanese society is aware of technology, so bitcoin can easily be accepted by various circles of Japan society.

Probably, it's because Japan is most open minded and have prepared and are preparing for the upcoming challenges.

In Japan, most of the people are aware to what is bitcoin. They are the first country who fully legalized the bitcoin. There are many big companies in Japan that are paying their employees through the use of bitcoins.

Big Bitcoin Secrets in Japan This knowledge-based approach also depends on the importance of a reliable regulatory framework. The bankruptcy of Mt.Gox prompted the Japanese government to decide how to treat Bitcoin and was preceded by a push by local regulators to license cryptocurrancy exchange. Decentralization is chosen for people to use and invest worldwide. it's even big in countries that have problems with Bitcoin or even ban it, like Venezuela.

Japan is a crypto-friendly government. The Japanese government is very supportive of crypto. I think that because Japan is a country with few mineral resources, cough will choose to develop digital assets such as crypto

Japan is a crypto friendly currency that is why bitcoin in japan has a big value.The japanese givernment is very supportive.Most of the people live in japan is open minded and have prepared what the bitcoin going to happen.

because the first time it has a bitcoin in Japan and that Japanese bitcoin why bitcoin big there.

I think it's entirely human.
Technology is very advanced in Japan. That's why people are one step ahead of the whole world.
The Crypto market is more important in Japan.
