Do you think that there is a possibility that Japan opening up to Bitcoin could help the denial about its war crime history?
For instance:Alexandra Hospital Massacre, Nanking Massacre, Palawan Massacre, Sook Ching Massacre et cetera
Now that they're opening up to foreign ideas like Bitcoin perhaps they can reconsider their denial?
I'm very interested in your opinion. Thank you in advance.
I'm not sure how you would be making a connection like this, but it is mostly unlikely that you're going to see any sort of comments on war crimes from the past just because the government is now providing a regulating framework for Bitcoin to operate within.
Other countries that open themselves up to foreign ideas or similar "westernized" concepts typically don't admit anything, really, if it isn't done within a generation or so from when it happens, unless there is an apologetic within their governing body that decides to do such a thing. For example, Turkey still denies the Armenian genocide and they likely will not be changing their opinions as Erdogan is now dictator-for-life and he has repeatedly denied it in the past. Same thing goes for the United States (although there are more apologetics from the Democrat party, typically, related to various atrocities during times of war), with the use of various unsavory weapons in wartime (or "peacekeeping") which result in damages to the population post-war. Such as the DU penetrator tank shells and the use of white phosphorus. Not as brutal as a massacre, but similar.
I personally do not believe a country should be responsible for something they did not do directly, and considering there is no longer the same Japanese empire there is little that should be done about the past. While history should be learned from, the Germans are not responsible for the Nazis today, and the Turks are not responsible for the Armenians. Admittance of wrongdoing should be noted, but there should be no further punishments, as the global community seems intent on doing to any country that admits something along those lines.
