Good BOOST for monday.
The boost won't be that big. Japan still isn't the leader in trading. Also, somebody should investigate how their Bitcoin businesses are really doing.
I suspect there could be big interest in the currency but only out of curiosity and very little real use.
Last time I heard, Japanese were all over bitcoins. They were buying like hell and also that the bitcoin price in Japanese exchanges was pretty higher than the other exchanges.
I heard rumours some Chinese whale traders switched to using Japanese exchanges after the Chinese government froze withdrawals on the Chinese exchanges. If that's true the end of the 8% consumption tax could be very bullish.
