はい、こんにちは。今回は ポッドキャストの15回目です。もう2月ですが、大阪はまだ少し寒いです。晴れているのに雪が降っている日もあって、不思議な天気です。洗濯物はまだ乾きにくいですね。

Hello. This is the podcast episode 15. It's already February, but it's still a bit cold in Osaka. It's a strange weather, with sunny but snowing days. It's still hard to dry the laundry.

私は先日、確定申告を終わらせました。確定申告というのは、自営業者が毎年、自分の１年間の収入を政府に報告することです。自営業者というのは、会社に勤めずに、自分で仕事をしている人です。そして、所得税を払います。所得税というのは、収入にかかる税金です。会社員の所得税は、給料から引かれるので、確定申告をする必要はありません。

I have just finished my tax return. Kakutei Shinkoku (a tax return) is an annual report by a self-employed person to the government on their income for the year. Jieigyousha (a self-employed person) is a person who does not work for a company, but works on his own. And they pay income tax. Shotokuzei (income tax) is a tax on income. Income tax for company employees is deducted from their wages, so there is no need to file a tax return.

日本では、確定申告はオンラインですることができます。実は、日本の政府のオンラインサービスは、数年前まで、あまり便利じゃありませんでした。政府の ウェブデザインはとても時代遅れで、見づらかったです。そこで、2021年に菅総理大臣が「デジタル庁」というオンラインサービスを担当する部署を作りました。政府の ウェブサイトやアプリは2021年からリニューアルされて、見やすくなりました 。確定申告をするためのソフトウェアは、まだエラーが多くて少し不便ですが、少しずつ良くなっていくといいです。

In Japan, tax returns can be filed online. Actually, the Japanese government's online services were not very convenient until a few years ago. The government's web design was very outdated and difficult to read. So, in 2021, Prime Minister Suga created a department called the "Digital Agency" to be in charge of online services. The government's website and apps were redesigned in 2021 to make them easier to navigate. The software for filing tax returns is still a little inconvenient with many errors, but hopefully it will gradually get better.

そして所得税はコンビニで払うことができます。確定申告をした後に表示される QR コードを使って、コンビニのレジで払います 。コンビニで払う場合は現金しか使えませんが、オンラインで払う場合は、クレジットカードや銀行振込で納税することもできます。納税するというのは国に税金を払うことです 。私はレシートが欲しかったので、コンビニで払うことにしました。インターネットで調べたら、アメリカなどの他の国でも、コンビニで納税することができるらしいですね。これはとても便利だと思います。

W. FAULKNER, Le bruit et la fureur. 1st page

The price of bitcoin hit more than $100,000 for the first time as the value of the cryptocurrency continues to soar following the election of Donald Trump.

This came just hours after the President-elect indicated he'd take a lighter regulatory approach to the crypto industry during his presidency.

It climbed from $69,374 on the day of Trump's election on November 5 and rose as high as $103,713 on December 4, according to CoinDesk.

Just two years ago, bitcoin dropped below $17,000 following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

However, experts aren't sure how long the value of bitcoin will remain high as cryptocurrency is highly volatile.

Some are hopeful of future gains, but others continue to warn of investment risks.

Trump, who was once a crypto skeptic, has said he wants to make the US "the crypto capital of the planet." His campaign accepted donations in cryptocurrency and he has also launched World Liberty Financial, a new project with family members to trade cryptocurrencies.

Many in the crypto industry have welcomed Trump's victory, hoping that he'll be able to push through changes that they've long lobbied for — which, generally speaking, aim for an increased sense of legitimacy without too much red tape.

Trump has already made a move in that direction, saying he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under current chair Gary Gensler, the SEC has cracked down on the crypto industry, penalizing a number of companies for breaking securities laws.

But what is cryptocurrency, really?

In basic terms, cryptocurrency is digital money. It is designed to work through an online network without a central authority — meaning it's typically not backed by any government or banking institution — and transactions get recorded with technology called a blockchain.
