Why has Tokyo become the place of choice for most currency circle tycoons?
Unlike many countries in the world, Japan has a completely tolerant and open attitude towards Bitcoin. Japan has currently issued a batch of digital currency trading licenses. This official tolerant attitude is probably at the forefront of the world. At the same time, the Japanese yen’s share of Bitcoin transactions has remained high.
There may be the following reasons why this encryption phenomenon occurs in Japan:
- The founder of Bitcoin is named Satoshi Nakamoto, a Japanese-American. Baidu Encyclopedia shows that Satoshi Nakamoto was born in Japan in July 1949 and later moved to the United States. The details are currently unknown. Such a piece of information is enough to deeply win the trust of the Japanese people. After all, our own people have created such a popular thing around the world, and their rejection seems to be much less radical than others.
- Japan leads the world in the acceptance and use of digital currencies. If you look back at the trading situation in the past few years, you will find that the world's earliest and most influential exchange is also called Mt. Gox (translated as Mentougou) in Japan and was established in July 2010. Before it was hacked, it had occupied more than 80% of the world's transaction share for a long time.
