Google translate = Compare crazy or heavenly  I would love to hear from the Japanese people themselves, and what their view is on this. How did the MtGox issue influence their governments opinion on Bitcoin? Did they change their opinion?

They have always been at the front of new IT technology, so I should think that they would embrace Bitcoin, if it was not for the MtGox scandal. They also love to gamble, and this would be the ideal platform for them to take some risks, with the Yen price declining. ^smile^
