nothing against you devs of atomo but this is so bullshit behaviour of going to help bitcoin reach new heights of price ath by announcing forks over forks...
how many forks are we going to see in 2018? 123120312030k
i really start to think that many dev teams are only planning to hop on the hypetrain of forks to get their own momentum and die... like bitcoin diamond or hot bitcoin or now even super bitcoin... it is not understandable...
the bubble is rising.../facepalm.
Truth to be told, Bitcoin Atom is not just another fork. We believe that as long as there is a real innovation behind the fork, it makes perfect sense to fork the Bitcoin. The only way how progress is made is by improving existing systems or products. If everyone would decide today the current Status Quo of all technology is so good we don't need to make it better, there would be no progress at all. If Satoshi Nakamoto would have decided that the payment systems were good enough back in 2009, he would have never created Bitcoin.
BITCOIN ATOM implements core fundamentals that Satoshi Nakamoto outlined in his white paper. Such as decentralization and removal of dependency on any one party or system. While cryptocurrencies can be exchanged P2P and on exchanges, it is inefficient, costly, and subject to hacks, and credit risk -- in general anything which is centralized could be compromised, and should be avoided if possible.
We believe that with crypto becoming an asset class, Atomic Swaps are the future of trading and exchanging value. We feel that BITCOIN ATOM is the future of Bitcoin as it is the only implementation of atomic swaps embedded in Bitcoin.
