A follow up question. Does Japan have any #Bitcoin communities? Off of the top of my head, I couldn't think of any, but I'd love to be wrong here.
Discussion
Tons
Deep work going on in Tokyo on crypto and web3 all over the placeβ¦
yikes. so no bitcoin communities then?
Tons!!! Softbank is one of the largest mining companies globally as well
I do see a bunch of places that accept bitcoin listed on BTCMaps.
loads
I want to see more business on the Lightning Network. One site I checked didn't show one business in a 25 mile range of my position. I wonder if The Strike app wouldn't be a start for some of these businesses to get comfortable?
need more marketing power
I need more education myself on Strike let's say. Then, I could go around promoting the savings you'd have by not paying Mastercard/Visa on every transaction. Of course more of the general population would need to be involved too..Like you said, more marketing..
My friend in Japan told me that the Japanese government is using blockchain technology to make digital yen, and will use blockchain technology to manage the money flow of all enterprises in the second quarter, so as to increase tax revenue. Many small businesses can make accounts to avoid taxes before, and will live more difficult in the future. Blockchain can more accurately control the financial tax, I do not know whether it is true
Yes you cannot believe how much is happening publicly and privately
Total control of the citizen. That is the global green socialist crime syndicate's goal. I hope they're ready for the carbon footprint gov't will force on them, and the move of their money to carbon credits on a gov't carbon debit card..
Lots!!
where?
My fav rare pepe from 2016 is by a Japanese artist! https://twitter.com/ayaLAN 
Might not be the Bitcoin community youβre looking for but itβs the one Iβve been following since 2016 and tons of conferences have been had since that time in Japan! Wish I couldβve gone back then ): but Iβll be happy to connect with pepe artist frens if this becomes a reality for October
But if youβre interested maybe we can purple pill a bunch of the Japanese Bitcoin artists that reside in this discord community theyβre from 2016-2018 https://discord.gg/SWmFNRmJ
i was inquiring or seeking out retails stores, restaurants, bars, etc. that take bitcoin so that we could have a similar experience as we did at Nostrica where almost everywhere we went, we could pay in bitcoin. this isn't a requirement, just a quality of life enhancement. π

One of them
From my experience, I havenβt seen any ventures that would accept Bitcoin as a payment method here. I just started myself, so could be wrong. It is definitely π― yes for me to have a gathering in Japan! Iβll help where possible, and I am sure we can find other folks on Nostr who would be willing to help! πΆπΎπ«‘
