That’s interesting. I’m going to Japan in a couple months and curious to see how many places accept crypto and whether it’s just btc or any other crypto. They seem to be a leader in the crypto space.

According to a survey conducted by Shin R25, a Japanese online magazine with young people as its main readers, 14% of young Japanese between the ages of 20 and 25 own digital assets.
The survey was conducted from January to March this year. More than 25% of the respondents said that this was their first experience of investing, 92% said that they had invested in digital assets of their available funds. Interest in cryptocurrencies 37.4% of respondents explained that this is fashionable, and 19.9% drew attention to cryptocurrencies due to their popularity in the media.
As for the amounts invested, 34.5% of respondents invested less than 50,000 yen (about 470 dollars) in cryptocurrency, the amount of one million yen ($9360) and more could afford only 10.2% of respondents.
Most of those who participated in the survey admitted that they purchased cryptocurrency at the peak of prices in October-December 2017. And only 15% did so after a sharp fall in early 2018.
However, 47.1% said they intend to continue actively investing in digital assets and only 35.4% are not going to do it anymore.
Analyst in the field of Finance and cryptocurrency Joseph young (Joseph Young) was very surprised by the results of the survey and commented on it on Twitter:
"This is a very high level of trust. I was expecting that the result will be less than 10% even for Japan - a country that is a leader in this market."
