Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
Interesting interview.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know cash was so widely used in Japan. And more importantly, that credit cards were used so little. That's really something.
I would have thought credit cards would be used even more in Japan than most places. It's almost bizarre.
Anyway, when rates go up people won't be as impacted as was the case when the housing bubble crashed in the unitedstate.
That's a small silver lining.
Also, so funny, the way you described the guy who answered the phone at Mt. Gox's parent company.
