Does anyone understand how someone can transfer money from Japanese BitCoin (like Bitflyer) to another exchange in the USA or EU? I cannot seem to find useful information on reddit or google. The problem with bitcoin is that unlike funds in a bank or brokerage you are 100% responsible for its secur...

Have you considered settting up a redirect for the time being from https://www.retirejapan.com/ to https://www.retirejapan.com/forum/index.php or the .info homepage? I keep going to the .com instead of .info version by mistake, and ending up at the placeholder page. It'll probably also help your goo...

My thinking here is that this is an asset that cost me almost nothing to acquire and is gaining value very quickly. There is no scenario where this could result in a loss.

Keeping it just in case it goes over 1 million, but not hoping too much. :) If I gave you 700,000 yen now, and you had no bitcoin, would you buy bitcoin with it? Probably not. Therefore you should probably s...

I'll confess. This is my Apple share story. Back in 2011 (I think) I bought around 50 Bitcoin. Then the price rose from $2 to $10 so I sold most of them. Now the price is around $5700. If I had held onto them, I'd have $285,000 now from my initial investment of about $150. So... yeah. That being sai...

They also have frequent campaigns. I usually pay about 3-4k + fuel for 24 hours for a basic car like a Maz...

This is true, but only inside a NISA. Any other account and they charge as normal.

If they reinvest the dividends that would be awesome. Currently reinvesting manually at the moment. I also buy Vanguard's bond ETFs, so I'll probably just stick to my current way for the time being. If I find the time to find a Japan-based (but international) bond fund that seems as good as BND / BN...
