Hey, @rt395, thanks for the info.

As you may know Recruit partnered with Coincheck and rolled out the POS app AirRegi for stores in Japan to accept BTC this year.

I was not aware of that, no. Impressive.

I agree with you on Steemit’s ingenuity. It will be hard to match, but as you say, with the business model ALIS is pursuing, it may not need to be matched. Not in exactly the same sense, anyway.

I would love to go to the meetup but will be in the States at that time.

I hear you’re stopping by Niigata soon. I’ll try to come out if I can get free.
