Japan Wants to be the Most Bitcoin Friendly Country

Depends on who you talk to I'd say, certainly the older generation stresses all that obedience bullshit, but the younger people are generally a lot more relaxed from what I know, it's just like any other country, it's usually the old people that are trying to oppress the younger generation which is why they do everything they can to limit the younger generations' political power.
