To Japan, crypto was a godsend. They were mired in a couple decade long deflationary spiral. Even Abenomics couldnt save them.
Bitcoin provided them with a currency with some inflationary attributes which helped those holding BTC. It finally allowed people to hold onto something for a while and not lose all the purchasing power by the time someone went to the bank.
Ironically, the fiat being so bad is what made BTC appear so good...in spite of its limitations.
Could the dollar be next?
