By the way, why is there no Japanese subsection? I remember wanting to post there and not finding it. I'd do translation but it's f**** boring and a lot of work (Japanese style is extremely different to most languages) I'd rather just discuss in Japanese.

There are Bitcoin seminars like this one happening all over Japan.   You will see more and more people in Japan get involved with Bitcoin over the next few weeks.

I'm guessing he organized it since his name is on the document he posted.

Top man, Roger... that's great. Used to live in Japan myself and I write and speak Japanese, just in case you need a hand.

The conferences are actually organized by a different networking group. I'm helping explain what Bitcoins are and how they work to everyone. I will be giving Bitcoin seminars almost every work day for the next few weeks all across Japan. I think this is the start of great things for Bitcoin in Japan.

If your Japanese is good enough, please help translate various Bitcoin things into Japanese. Here is a good place to start: translate.multibit.org

Here is a good place to start: translate.multibit.orgI was afraid you'd ask me that  well I hate translating, but I will contribute some when I actually try that software (context is important). Note that sentence-by-sentence translation will lead to a weirdly worded Japanese version. For the time being I've created an account.

 Nice work Roger! I wonder what are their reactions once you tell them the name and country of Bitcoin's inventor. And curious about the JPY volume.

Just WOW! How did you get that started? I'm in Chile and people politely ask about bitcoin when I mention it but then I try to slow down as I barely see real interest and don't want to annoy people with my toy. I would love to do the same here but wouldn't know how to approach it.

Just go to a major intersection dressed up in a Bitcoin suit and hand out flyers. Works every time.

Just say it's a new global international currency that will take over the world! That should get you some eye-brows. Then explain the details

How will this affect the folks in other countries? Overall, should we expect the world-wide value of bitcoins to increase when the Japanese get involved due to the increased demand over there?

No, we should expect the world-wide value to increase because of the decreased supply over here.

Where are you holding these Bitcoin seminars, Roger? Who is the audience? They look awesome! When Roger came to visit CoinLab, I had the opportunity to see his evangelism in action. He has an incredible skill for explaining the concept and getting people excited about it. My own Bitcoin evangelism skills improved just from watching him go. If Japanese interest in Bitcoin is on the rise, my bets are on him being the one to thank for it

We are actually having the meetings all over Japan, from Okinawa to Sapporo, and everywhere in between. The people attending the meetings are investors interested in new businesses and technologies. They are all excited about Bitcoin as soon as they hear about it and understand the basics. I think we will start seeing a lot of Japanese investing money into Bitcoins and starting to use Bitcoin in their existing businesses. They are particularly excited about the Bitinstant Bitcoin based credit card. Last night there was talk about being able to sell tens of thousands of them in Japan easily. I will update this thread as things progress.

+1, seconded! Any chance you'd make the lecture materials generic and release a "Birtcoin Evangelism Kit" to be leveraged by enthusiasts worldwide?
