To a noob reading such an article it might not mean that much. To me, it's one of the signals that NEM is heading mainstream, when you compare the benefits NEM has over bitcoin, it's a no-brainer that NEM could possibly dethrone bitcoin as the number one crypto currency somewhere in the near future. NEM is settled in every major Japanese crypto currency platform, Japan is also the most technologically advanced country in the world, it's just a matter of time...I like how NEM takes it time to build solid fundamentals before doing marketing, coming up with fashionable designs for the wallet etc. It's just pure raw blockchain functionality in all its wonder colors and flavours. I am very much looking forward to the future of NEM  .
