RE: Singapore To Launch National Token On Ethereum Blockchain!
That's so interesting that you can experience the crypto-movement in Japan first hand. do you feel like the people are accepting it and LIKE to use bitcoin, or that they'd rather not, or that they just don't care very much?
I live in what Japanese people call "the countryside"," a small city of 80,000 people or so. I have one student at my ESL school who is into crypto hardcore, but the rest are still clueless. I was explaining Steemit to one of my students, an older guy who's an engineer at a major electronic component manufacturer. His eyes glazed over as I demonstrated a vote on Steemit and explained that I'd just effortlessly sent a micropayment to someone in Africa. He has no frame of reference for this technology, and no interest in understanding it, so he won't. And I believe that is still the majority. And that's a good thing, because it means that even with all the recent hype and increasing crypto prices there is still a ton of room for growth.
