What does monacoin actually do better than other coins? Nothing on the website jumps out at me as anything special.

I mean, I know it has a cute catface on the coin, but surely there is more to it than that! Happy to hear what I'm missing to explain its popularity.

Its tech is top notch with Segwit locked in and Lightning Networks on the cards.
It has a growing network in Japan as merchants are accepting it. You can buy it vs fiat there.
Japan gave cryptocurrencies legal tender status in April.

I think this is just the beginning of MONA success. It's just a matter of time before more Japanese people realize they have a great coin of their own.

Why hold a cute kitten coin from Japan? Well it is actually being used! And if a hype starts in Japan Mona would really take off.
If it works as a crypto coin vs fiat and is actually used that is better than a fancy whitepaper, at least as part of my portfolio.
