“‘It is always the government paper fiat money that gets corrupted throughout history,’ Shishido will later tell us. ‘Bitcoin is not just a new digital currency. It is actually about liberty.’ Shishido gives his brief lecture at a long table just inside The Pink Cow, the first restaurant in Tokyo that lets you pay for dinner and drinks with bitcoins. He helps oversee the Tokyo Bitcoin Meetup Group, and this Thursday evening, the group is holding its weekly meeting at The Pink Cow, a California-Mexican joint, run by an American expatriate, that sits at the heart of Tokyo’s Roppongi neighborhood, an area famous for housing expats and money-minded business types.”
