Good day, I am a cryptocurrency investor from abroad and I am considering expanding my investments to Japan. One of the cryptocurrencies I am interested in is Bitcoin. However, I am not very familiar with the legal status of cryptocurrencies in Japan. Could you please clarify for me if Bitcoin is legal in Japan? If so, are there any specific regulations or laws that I should be aware of? Thank you for your time and assistance.
