It is surprising that Japan is not more Bitcoin friendly already.

Why is all the volume and interest coming from China?

I would have expected Korea to be more ahead as well.

Korea and Japan have a very large internet culture, I would have expected they are more ahead as well. This board does have a Korean and Japanese forum. The Korean board has 599 posts and the Japanese board only 91 posts. Chinese board has 242671 posts. Is there any reason why it is more popular in China?

Most likely it's false pride. They are probably in shock that they didn't discover Bitcoin before China.

Irrelevant. Japs have been irrelevant for a long time.

With Japan you never know.

They have enough money to spend there, and I wouldn't count them out.

Agree, unless MtGox CEO will make harakiri, Japanese will never let it go.

but most people hope the Japanese do more for the development of bitcoin,so we should give them applause when they do

If Japan starts attracting bitcoin vc because of this friendliness that would be the best antidote for the unfriendly regulation some counties/states are considering right now. And it would be even better if countries like Korea follow.

Is it still okay to make cultural epithets toward Japanese people? My PC meter broke after Obama took office.

The only part that i would like to hear is the self regulating authority made up of community members.

So that Liberal Democratic Party is the government in Japan? Can they actually pass a law/regulation?

It's a leading/ruling party. If they have majority in the parliament (of voting power) then yes.

Some good news from Japan:

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/japan-wants-bitcoin-friendly-country/

Quote

What Japan deems fit in Bitcoin’s case is to allow it to be regulated from within, without direct government influence or oversight. Japan seems to have recognized Bitcoin’s unlimited financial and technological potential, and has confidently asked Bitcoin community members to form a self-regulatory authority. It will be called the Japan Authority of Digital Assets (JADA). JADA is supported by Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP)’s IT committee. There is no proposed Japanese government regulation of JADA. Membership includes the Kraken Exchange.
