Bitcoin in Japan with Andy, Dash, and Mike from Tokyo Citadel

Mar 30 2023 • 1hr 12m

Show Notes

Today I talk with Andy, Dash, and Mike from Tokyo Citadel. The group’s goal is is to move bitcoin adoption, use and knowledge forward in Tokyo. They run a Bitcoin podcast and organise regular meetups and events. In this episode we discuss Bitcoin in Japan and its perceptions by the public, as well as the bitcoin development and innovation that is taking place and what the current economic & political landscape is. We also talk about spending and using Bitcoin in Japan.

I previously lived in Tokyo for 5 years and it was very interesting to learn about where the Bitcoin community is at today.

great to hear how the Bitcoin scene is in Japan. maybe it’s not going to be the Citadel for the future though. I can vouch for the hospitality of the Tokyo Citadel, they’re a very welcoming group.
