woow .. this is a very good breakthrough, worthy in example by other country. If all countries adopt bitcoin as a means of transaction then it is very helpful and makes bitcoin users easy to make transactions for daily needs.

Just a friendly tip: in future try not to put a space between each line, it makes it very hard to read and follow.


It's not surprising to see large corporations in Japan accepting bitcoin as they are by far the most forward thinking country when it comes to bitcoin acceptance.  It's a shame that there's a limit on purchases of only $2760, this does not seem like that much but I guess it's with AML in mind.

It announced that it would be the first to pilot bitcoin payments in two direct stores since January 27. It is reported that yamada motor this time trial bitcoin payment with the previous Bic.
