What is strange is that Japan has a pretty low number of full nodes - currently 81 full nodes in a country with a population of more than 120 million. See bitnodes.21.co. France, for example, has only 50 million people but >450 full nodes.

So maybe the "bitcoin hype" is still only based on speculation there. But I would also like to hear the opinion of a Japanese forum member.

Bitcoin and crypto currency is slowly starting to buzz in mainstream US news, it isnt big yet but i noticed a few publications focusing on it now.

Was wondering if there was anyone in japan that could give us some idea if the "bitcoin hype" is real? Also, if so have you purchased anything with bitcoin?

Really curious
->Japan is way ahead of any other country in practical use of bitcoins.
->They've malls in japan with automated vending machines which accept bitcoins to provide variety of goods for kids as well adults.
->They have functioning bitcoin ATM's and real time conversion machines.
->Bitcoin hype is way more than you can imagine in Japan.Follow one of your favorite Japanese bitcoin businesses ,you'd know.
Sounds like an exaggeration.  Bitcoin still represents a tiny, tiny amount of actual money in Japan and around the world.

Japan is quite a technology-centered country and Bitcoin is on its way, but it'll take a long time before real adoption is happening.

Japan is perfect at producing electronics, cars, and many other advanced technological products. Since Bitcoin is a revolution in financial technology I am no surprised that Japan is the country which is the most advanced in general real everyday use of bitcoin as a currency(i.e vending machines, atms in big malls). This can only be beneficial to bitcoin in the long term.

Definitely this is something I hope to find when I go to shoping. Unhappily in my country (Brazil) this will take a while to happen. I probably move to another country before I see something like that here.

Are you kidding, the Bitcoin hype in Japan has been BUZZING! In fact, many are saying that activity from Japan is what's driving the current run up in price.


Japan's Finance Ministry just announced regulations around Bitcoin


Japan is far ahead of the US in terms of mainstream adoption of Bitcoin.

What "bitcoin hype" bitcoin has been flourishing before Japan came into the scene. It just put bitcoin into another level when Japan rode the bitcoin evolution. Well you have a good question, I will asked my friends who are in Japan to see the clearer picture on what Japan looks like in terms of its craziness about bitcoin technology.
