We are by no means ignoring markets other than Japan! upon completion of the ICO we will have dedicated teams for business development who's job it is to sign on more merchants in the market you just mentioned. We know that the GATCOIN system is of use to merchants all over the world and we plan to have more merchants participating in the system by the time we launch. That being said one of the reasons we believe so strongly in this project is that we will have a large anchor client in place from the very beginning which we believe benefits early investors. Through out our dev period stay tuned for more updates on new merchants!
That partnership before ICO is certainly one of the best if not the strongest feature of your project. I cant tell you how much it means to investors if there is something tangible already present and i think this will be a decisive point.
