Excellent progress if bank from Japanese seeks to engage in bitcoin market. I hope Japan can build a lot of quality local exchanges such as China, all players bitcoin worldwide welcomed this good news.

Japan is a country that is very transparent in financial matters. Differences with system in China, the Japanese are more concerned with quality than quantity.

which means Japan can be one the factors to make bitcoin become more higher, it will also give an impact for the local exchange especially for the bitcoin community in crypto world. If that so, it is real a goods news for us here.

Day after day there is an article that states that some big investor is investing money into a Blockchain project and the amount of money is around the multi-million dollar range. I don’t know where all that money goes, the money could be used to pump Bitcoin up though I am pretty sure that they aren’t that interested in the project because if the price goes up then more people would get involved to work on Bitcoin and the whole Blockchain of Bitcoin.

This only means one thing.  Bitcoin is going mainstream.  With the acceptance of several country, bitcoin is now more popular then ever.  Prices would likely to soar more as more company and investors come in.  Many believe that today trend is cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is "hot money" meaning it is a good investment.

Very likely neighboring countries will follow japan. Government policy determines whether or not bitcoin develops in a country. The more countries that use bitcoin, it is not impossible that bitcoin will change the economy of the people ..

Asians are smarter than Americans plus Americans are too anal retentive. Hey New York!

They are working with Digital Payment technology so I am pretty sure that the people in Japan will find a use for Bitcoin and bring the price of Bitcoin up. There is not much progress going on with Bitcoins Blockchain, I think that they people that are receiving the money to get blockchain research funded are using it to do something other than putting it into Blockchain researching. I mean millions of dollars in funding though the price of Bitcoin is only in the 2 grand area?

Of course Japan stands to benefit that's why their government is ensuring all these advancements in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. I'm hopeful many world superpowers will follow what Japan is doing in the near future.

You really do not need the best internet connection to be involved in bitcoin,yes they took a proactive step towards bitcoin and we have big investors in bitcoin and that reflects in the price growth we see now,everyone knows the potential because of the constant growth it has achieved and it will thrive better with time.

Japan is taking the lead and looks like others countries will miss the gold opportunity, bitcoin into some years will double and even reach 20000 dollars unit, soo its 8x the current investment nowadays. It always good to see big companies starting investing over crypto, i believe they will make their own crypto coin as well.

Japanese people were always good at finding a way of technological progress.
I was wondering why they didn't hop on bitcoin hype train much earlier and instead of Japan, China took the advantage as the number 1 nation behind cryptocurrency.
It all changed with Japan legalisation of Bitcoin in Japan, trading volume shifted and now we can see than Janapense exchanges have the highest volume.

Since everyone is creating a coin why not. Let a company from Japan start a project and start attracting people and i am sure people will flock in and throw money at it as we are seeing with all the projects which is insane ,Japan is doing the right thing, understanding what bitcoin is all about and how it can attract more entrepreneur in this which in turn is a positive thing as they create more opportunities.

Hopefully this step is imitated many other large companies, not just in japan but around the world, so that the world more and more to know the benefits of bitcoin, and not only see it from the negative side
