Analysts of the Japanese financial giant Nomura found that Bitcoin could add Japan to 0.3% of additional GDP, according to Cointelegraph.
In a note to clients translated by Business Insider, Yoshiyeki Suimon and Kazuki Miyamoto highly appreciated the positive impact of the Crypto-currency on consumer spending caused by the massive adoption of Bitcoin in Japan.
In the past year, optimism about the Crypto-currency was strengthened as a result of the official adoption of Bitcoin in Japan, as a result of which the country took a clear position in the Bitcoin-Fiat trade, and also took measures to develop a regulatory framework for further implementation of Bitcoin into its economy.
After strengthening his legal position, Bitcoin accelerated in price to the point that Nomura analysts could suggest that crypto-currencies could have a "serious effect" on Japan's GDP.
"The scale of this increase in the capitalization of crypto assets can hardly be ignored," they commented on Bitcoin's growth.
These statements contrast sharply with the new portion of the negative that appeared in the mainstream media of the USA that week. Dennis Hartman and the CEO of the gold mining company Sean Boyd both told CNBC last week that investors will be looking for a return to gold, as the characteristic volatility of Bitcoin is too high for them.
In addition, Hartman predicts the fall of Bitcoin below $ 5,000, but can not say when it will happen.
Also in December, central banks in Poland and Denmark made serious warnings to consumers that they did not invest in crypto-currencies.
