Not sure I'll be able to join at the announced time. I'd appreciate if anyone can ask the following questions in my name. Please tag me if you do.
  • How does the Japanese Bitcoin scene today compare to the old Japanese Bitcoin scene when everything Bitcoin-related seemed to happen in Japan (Roger Ver, Mount Gox, etc)?
  • I remember you running a very active LN routing node. How are your thoughts about this experience, compared with the early days and now? How did you weather the large number of force-closes during the fee-hikes caused by Ordinal bullshit? How do you see the future of running a LN routing node for amateurs? Will it become a full-time job at some point?
  • You offer an onchain offchain swap service, don't you? How does this work under the hood in your case?
  • Do you have any contacts with the Korean bitcoin scene? How does it compare with the Japanese Bitcoin scene in your opinion?
  • What recommendation would you give to people who want to onboard other people to Bitcoin? What has worked in Japan, what doesn't?

こんばんわ@kojisan, how is the adaptation in Japan going? I heard from people who went to Japan that there is almost to no stores who accept bitcoin. I want to see that for myself so I'll go to Japan next year. Perhaps we can contact each other, and doing a meetup there with other Noderunners who will join me to Japan?
And secondly, how is the inflation? Are people feeling it?
