Japan has already embraced cryptos as a legal currency. They won't be the last. As this happens, there will be geopolitical factors at play and it won't be that easy to simply "outlaw cryptocurrencies".

What does this mean? I'm in Japan right now and if anything, Japan is a cash society still and most small stores don't even take credit cards.

The Government has done the opposite of banning bitcoin. They've outright legitimized it.

No, they have not forced private businesses to accept bitcoin.
