Why Don't More Japanese Get Bitcoin? (Teruko Neriki, Fulgur Ventures)

Happy new year and welcome to an independent Beyond The Price! As I explain in the intro, I’ve left CoinPost but I’ll still be releasing podcast episodes weekly, now from Substack (along with written articles - frequency TBD).

If you’re an early Substack subscriber and didn’t even know I was doing a podcast, I hope you like it. My focus is Bitcoin in Asia (adoption, not speculation) but the guests are all over the world. Some macroeconomics too.

If you’re a podcast listener, I hope you like to read too. Check out my early explainers of Bitcoin and look forward to more free-form pieces expanding on podcast topics.

My first guest of the year is a fitting one, the first Japanese Bitcoiner I was aware of, Teruko Neriki. She translated The Bitcoin Standard (a formative book for me) into Japanese and now works for Fulgur Ventures, a Bitcoin VC company. We talk about her Bitcoin story, translation work, and the Japan scene, as well as the educational projects she’s involved in and launching (linked below).
