Good BOOST for monday.

I agree with you there, its great for remittance and sending coins since it reduces the friction aka the 8% tax to crypto.
Seeing how large Japan is economic wise and the increasing growth this is a nice sign.

The boost won't be that big. Japan still isn't the leader in trading. Also, somebody should investigate how their Bitcoin businesses are really doing.
I suspect there could be big interest in the currency but only out of curiosity and very little real use.

Last time I heard, Japanese were all over bitcoins. They were buying like hell and also that the bitcoin price in Japanese exchanges was pretty higher than the other exchanges.

I heard rumours some Chinese whale traders switched to using Japanese exchanges after the Chinese government froze withdrawals on the Chinese exchanges. If that's true the end of the 8% consumption tax could be very bullish.

As I understand the Chinese exchanges have already resumed withdrawals on May 31, so those rumors might only be that, just rumors.

On the removal of the 8% consumption tax, it could encourage more people to use Bitcoin but I do not think we will see a big boost in the market immediately in my opinion. The market sentiment is still mixed right now in anticipation of BIP148 and Segwit2x.

beware of your keys.

what? Japan has already exempted the 8% tax about bitcoin payment? that's another step towards total bitcoin legalisation. probably bitcoin pricing will surge based on Japanese exchange including mining behaviour. (?) i mean, if those bitcoin exchanges goes up 24/7 i would have seen bitcoin price to $2700+ IMO

Guys, this news is a day late. July 1st in Japan started at 8am on June 30th, West Coast time in the USA. I positioned myself for this in Japan, and have seen Bitcoin continue to fall. In fact, it fell faster after the tax ended.

It may have made a difference a month ago, and probably will make a difference in the future. But right now bitcoin is too bearish for this change to help.

The change came into effect on Saturday morning, so I suppose there is still the outside chance that trading may pick up on Monday (that's Sunday evening to you people in the States). At this point, I am not expecting much though.

I suspect the same. I don't think actual mainstream BTC usage is really there yet. Either way it's a step in the right direction.

At least Japan has taken a step further than any other countries, because it is a good idea to eliminate the 8% consumption tax on bitcoin transactions and will encourage people in Japan to invest/use bitcoin for various purposes such as remittance service to send bitcoin all over the world "without paying a price gap". Since Japan applied taxes to purchases bitcoin before this decision which make people should pay more to acquire bitcoin, now it has been abolished and we expect more adopters join in bitcoin community.

Not only the Japanese exchanges sites But the Korean's exchange sites already crowded with the chinese whales. The chinese exchanges are not giving convenience trade to the chinese users itself.

The more good news will make those whales try to find the convenient place to exchange their money.

But I believe over 80% the answer for the latest Japanese news about 8% consumption tax to be real.

On Saturday, July 1, the revised consumption tax law went into effect throughout Japan, and bitcoin transactions no longer incur consumption tax of 8%.

On the same day, Australia also ended bitcoin double taxation.

Where did you read this? I also had never heard that they paid 8% tax in the first place so where did you see any of this information at all?
