the first japan bill containing virtual currencies is expected to come on april which recognizes bitcoin as a method of payment.Although,it doesnot define bitcoin as a legal currency,it is still considered as a remarkable progress for bitcoin in japan.Hope, most of tourists who would go to japan to see 2020 olympics would be able to pay in bitcoins.
Thats a great news from such a technically advanced country like japan.Previously,most of japanese lost their interest in bitcoin due to Mt.Gox shut down.Its good to see now they have started adopting bitcoins once again.Since 2020 Olympics is a world event,if bitcoin is accepted at that time,then surely it would give a big publicity to bitcoin through out the world.
I agree with you. The Olympics is a very important event. And many people will learn about bitcoin. This will make it more popular. It is a pity that the Olympics are not this year. This would help bitcoin
