Japan is seriously going in to Bitcoin mining
So after Russia, now Japan is being pretty serious about mining Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Earlier GMO announced that they would enter the mining business and intend to develop a chip that would be four time faster than the fastest ASIC miner at the moment. Now another company from Japan has the ambition to be in the top 3 of largest mining pools and have the ambition to be in the top 10 next year. Seems there will be a little bit more decentralization in this space now.
