Factom blockchain to be implemented into Japanese social security system

If you noticed a surge in the price of Factom FCT and were wondering why, it's because of this news.
It looks like it hasn't hit mainstream yet so i thought i would share it with fellow Steemies.
This is not a copy and paste. It is written in my own words with my own research in the quest for due diligence.
I have no connection to any of the companies mentioned except for having just invested 0.2btc (it is all i had spare) in Factom on Poloniex.

Japans' Social Security system to implement Factom Blockchain.

Kaula Inc has announced that they are currently developing a blockchain solution for Japans social security system using the Factom blockchain.
The use of the Factom blockchain enables data to retain authenticity and is of benefit in providing tamper resistance of logs generated when the social security systems data is accessed, modified or deleted.
They have already completed Proof of Concept to confirm that the record management system can retain log record authenticity. Moving forward they will progress to experimental proof then applying the system to business applications.

Kaula Incorporated has partnered with Attris corporation in a joint development for this project.
Established by the founding members of Sun Microsystems Java.
In case you aren't aware, Java is on almost every pc, mobile phone, tablet, smart appliances and the majority of the internet of things is programmed in Java!

The Japanese social security implementation is the first of many possible use cases for this partnership. It seems that they intend to offer software as a service using Factom for documents and log records, loan records, securities and insurance contracts, and medical data.

Why I have picked Factom as a good long term investment

One of the strengths of Factom is it's versatility with relevance to supply chain and shipping companies like Amazon and DHL (paperless records) extending to finance and military applications. Any digitized information can be added to the block chain to provide proven authenticated records without the need for costly paper records and time consuming authentication.

Factom have already announced a partnership with HealthNautica to develop software that can prove the integrity of medical records while maintaining patient privacy. Building on this it opens a path for easily authenticated prescription services and insurance industry applications.

I'm really excited about the possibilities that Factom and other blockchain based companies present. I feel like this is definitely an industry that is leading us into a greater future.

Long term gains

Since November 2016 FCT has had gains of almost 2200% (thats an average 11% gain per day!)
Note that i haven't included the initial drop when the coin first listed.

Would love to hear some other opinions from everyone else here on steemit.
Maybe @kingscrown or @denismir0712 or one of the other crypto experts could go more in depth?
