According to this article, Japanese Budget Airlines are going to accept bitcoins this year. They declared that later this year we can now enjoy flights without bringing our wallets but our bitcoins in our smartphones. As part also of their new innovation they have installed BTMs or Bitcoin ATM on the airport for the convenience of their customers. With this we can expect an increase in tourist visits to Japan.

World richest plots own country, Japan already accepts bitcoin a legal currency to use it everywhere in their country. This next big move from Japanese government, this take the bitcoin value to big and usage around the globe also have the better chance to become a globally recognized money to every places.

It seems that japan is loving bitcoin and they are all having a good income with bitcoin and they are starting to fully implement bitcoin to their country and their airlines already accepting bitcoin. I hope that other countries will do the same just like Japan so they can also get the advantage of bitcoin and they can all boost their earnings because of the rapid growth of bitcoin.

Wow, that's a great thing for the transportation industry. The Japanese government has accepted bitcoin. I believe they will apply bitcoin more.

Good news for bitcoin as with this more people will start to know and perhaps will join bitcoin community later on. Hope my country will follow and accept bitcoin.

I was planning to take a vacation on japan and this really caught up my attention. Altho i have sadly converted my amounts into fiat rightnow. I am just curious if they have an online flight reservation

Out of curiosity, how about the confirmation which needs to arrive? Is it just accepting zero-confirmation just like some bitcoin payment gateway do?. The average confirmation needs about 15 minutes to arrive and probably some people still have some time to wait for it until the plane's landing, but, how if the fee is just not enough and the transaction get stuck?.

3 practical issues i see

1. budget airlines = people not wanting to spend too much = why would they agree to a $1+ fee and wait ~10minutes-48 hours
2. many credit cards these days (if you avoid the normal domestic (country locked) ones do not charge much
2. many credit cards these days (if you avoid the normal domestic (country locked) ones do not take ~10mins-48 hours to accept payment. its just swipe and go in seconds

segwit will not fix spam
segwit will not fix confirm delays

locking funds into an LN is like locking funds into a contract with a second party (research multisig) you might aswell just use credit cards, bcause of all the cludgy crap core have done to push people into thinking LN is the utopian savour by removing all the benefits bitcoins mainnet had over fiat/cards

Very good news, counts more companies adopt bitcoin the greater will be its value, that is that it does not need to transform bitcoin into Fiat

Yep, it doesn't matter how insignificant it may seem, every time the numbers of companies accepting bitcoin goes up it's just a start on the way to what we crave - mainstream adoption.

[staceyoh]

That is really a nice news. A lot of companies
are now adopting bitcoin! It will be great for
bitcoin because it will get more popularity.

[Vaculin]

Wow its a very good news.Maybe japanese people are already attached to bitcoin that's why they are giving bitcoin all it deserved.I hope next time it would be in our country soon.

Today airline tickets, next year pay for a moon-trip with BTC

Too much imagination tho lol. Yet things might be going there someday especially when they consider bitcoin as a legit currency to all country then bitcoin might be a fiat in a form of electronic and hopefully japan would initiates

At this point of time that method of payment using bitcoin was not yet launched. They are still on the process of making it successfully integrating it in their system. The post that I made was just an initial announcement but let us wait for the official launching of bitcoin into their system since they will announce it to the world. Just stay tune to the articles coming from Japan.

It seems the good news don’t seem to stop, I hope this becomes a trend and that all the airlines around the world begin to accept bitcoin that way we will be able to travel the world without using anything other than our bitcoin, I think this is going to be the future.

That's very interesting news since only few companies or establishments are accepting bitcoin as way of payment. Japan really treat bitcoin as a currency. Hope to see a many countries do the same. No wonder Japan will be the biggest bitcoin user in the world. Japan will take place of China because of massive adoption of Japan.

Japan seems to be at the forefront of mainstream adoption. Too bad the US blew the chance to lead the space.

Japan has legalized and regulated Bitcoin. So most of the Bitcoin-related firms, such as exchanges and gambling sites will move their operations to Japan. That nation will gain, in terms of increased tax revenue and new job creation. Unfortunately, the United States had a good chance to do all these, but they got too arrogant.
