A different project between a real project or what
BITCOIN ATOM is a very real project. We are going to bring extra functionality to bitcoin by implementing 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.
