Japan will not regulate Bitcoin ... yet

Governments don't do anything. People within governments do. We are all individuals. There are great people in government, and then there are some that are not. It is up to those governed to weed out the ones that are not.

Well considering Japan has had economic problems over the last few years this is good news for Bitcoin
Any service or good that helps develop an industry is good for their economic growth which is still fairly stagnant.
That said this is for now until they get a more developed opinion on the topic.

Lately I like the decision of the Japan Government, their decisions are wise

Looks like a smart move by the Japanse Government:

"Japan should become the world's easiest place to run Bitcoin businesses and for this reason we must avoid tying down the industry with regulation,"

No need for new / additional regulation. For those that were Goxxed, more regulation will not help. Only thorough research and forceful implementation of law that has existed for a very long time.  (THOU SHALL NOT STEAL)

Go JAPAN!

Yes, it is a smart move. I wanted to say: why to regulate bitcoin at all? Most developed countries have some sort of regulation for electronic payments, etc. If necessary for taxation purposes bitcoin can easily fall under such broad regulation.
