About Execution
The interesting thing about monacoin is that the adoption in Japan. This coin mostly traded on JPY pair, there are ATM's that accept monacoin on Japan. Websites like monappy and aksmona give coin holders market place to spend. Some of the large online retail stores accept the use of monacoin.
Editor's note

It seems like the success of monacoin was driven by Japan's desire to create its own version of cryptocurrency. Usage of the coin might grow and with the more professional approach on monacoin foundation it might become much better than it is. However, there are already better and growing products out on the market. While we beileve monacoin is here to stay, we find it cute and speculative.
