I'm very curious to see how this plays out because I'd say that 95% of the people I know here in Japan either know nothing about Bitcoin, or they have a bad/skeptical opinion of it from some scandal that happened a few years ago. If course, I don't live in one of the major cities, but still, I find it very interesting that the infrastructure for its use is being made while much of the public seems to me to have no idea.

Yeah its very interesting ... We're about to see the first wave of blockchain-enabled product adoptions. Especially in japan their obsession with robots is formidable, why not let the robots have, mine, earn, and spend money in the economy? M2M economy
Some people in the government are making moves to fill their pockets. Plus, they're also thinking about the Olympics in 2020, I'm sure. They want to be tech-savvy and ready to be a representative of the future. Honestly, though, I really think the average person in Japan has no idea this is happening.
I find it exciting, but strange.
Once the infrastructure catches up, and the early adopters start using this daily - more and more will leave their skepticism behind.
Of course. It doesn't take more than a spark to light a fire.
