I have been in the Telegram group since the beginning, and they don't kickban people for asking tough questions. They had some chick in there the other day telling them they had to fork the coin again "for good press," and they didn't kick that fool out. Maybe Tom kicked you out for being a blustering dickhead. "I am a IT." There are a few people in there spreading rumors about a BCA project collapse, and coincidentally all those people are BUYING. Are you buying BCA?

Their withdrawal fees are already high, so if they inflate the coin to ten times its value, they can inflate the withdrawal fee ten times, too. Yes, this coin is on course and the most undervalued coin out there.

Totally time to buy. Project is just as great as ever and on-schedule, but a bunch of noobs are panic selling on Exrates. It's a sh*t exchange, but it works okay for me. I just buy and send to my Coinomi wallet. There is also a BCA native wallet now.

Nothing is dead. A bunch of noobs panicked. Project is still same as ever. Command line atomic swaps work right now, and they just announced the atomic swap toolkit will be releases within a month, and lightning network after that. Go read the roadmap on their site. They are right on track. You should probably take advantage of the low prices on Exrates and spend some of that shitcoin you're holding on BCA.

BCA wallet is released. You can also use Coinomi. Exrates is selling BCA. VICex beta will list it in less than a week. All the bounty questions should go to the BCA bounty Telegram group. Nothing is dying. Devs are working at steady pace. Devs announced atomic swap toolkit will release within 30 days.

It's about power to the user. Exchanges, however, have made what was supposed to be decentralized into something centralized. I'm into Bitcoin Atom (BCA) which has already implemented atomic swaps so you can trade it with the major coins without an exchange involved. Also it is segwit enabled, has a new hybrid consensus model, and lighting network is coming soon. OTC prices are a lot better than Yobit, which is the only exchange so far, and Coinomi is the only wallet. Next week the GUI wallet with GUI atomic swaps is set to come out. It's about the Satoshi spirit.

I don't know how many people have heard about Bitcoin Atom, but it's kind of a restoration of what Satoshi intended as a decentralized currency. BCA atomic swaps allow you to trade between other major coins without an exchange, so you don't have to worry about their getting hacked or otherwise making your funds disappear.I've been following the Telegram chat since the beginning, and the problem so far is the team is very small, all about developing, and doesn't understand or care about what people are saying about BCA. I think they are just really confident, but they offered a 1:1 BTC to BCA swap at the hard fork, and anyone who took advantage of that pretty much got totally rekt. That was mistake number 1.

Another problem is Yobit is the only exchange that has BCA, but it is only token/futures. Their BCA wallets are in "maintenance" and probably will stay that way. Their price for futures has hovered around $15 for a few weeks, but OTC trading is at about $4-$5 right now. There is talk of other exchanges listing it, but just talk so far. This is probably because BCA stands to become a defacto exchange of its own that lets you sidestep exchanges when trading between different coins and avoid excessive fees, delays, and security worries.

The anonymous team is very small and seems to be taking its time to get it right. This also makes it the perfect time to buy BCA. GUI atomic swaps were supposed to happen this week, but didn't. Lots of fud, but the devs say they are just trying to get the GUI perfect. There's not really much reason for fud because atomic swaps are confirmed already working and bulletproof. There just isn't a GUI for atomic swaps out yet, so it's not like there's any fundamental problem, just too few devs working on it. This is awesome for buyers because the miners are getting screwed. With no exchanges yet, and the GUI delayed, the volume is too low to pay their electric bills, and they are selling dirt cheap. Coinomi wallet is the ONLY wallet. GUI wallets should be out soon though.

When the GUI wallets go live and people see they can buy Etherium or Litecoin without messing with an exchange and all the drawbacks they entail, I can't imagine this coin will not multiply its value multiple times very quickly, considering the starting price. From there, yeah, I think it will go to the moon at some point and maybe not too far in the future. For me, the question is how much do exchanges worry about it?

Atomic swaps are really only the first stage. It's Segwit enabled, and lightning network is I believe the next thing the devs are turning their attention toward once GUI atomic swaps go live. Lightning network will allow people who trade once together to then trade in a trustless environment back and forth off-chain from then on, so this is going to be really fast between the two parties and not bog down the already faster network with their trades, either.

Maybe the most revolutionary thing about BCA is its hybrid consensus model. The tech is disruptive, but by the numbers it's going to look like sh*tcoin to a lot of investors at this point, but the devs don't seem to care about the talk and are taking their time to build something that will be able to slug it out with the other major coins. The whole point of Bitcoin in the first place was to give the power to the user and avoid the perils of centralization, which we're seeing with exchanges. Exchanges are also vulnerable to being influenced and regulated by governments, so BCA pretty much takes cryptocurrency back to the roots of its true value. It may in fact be a good thing that it has a low profile so far because it is disruptive tech, and a lot of people don't want to be disrupted. Also, it gives small investors like me a chance to get in while it costs next to nothing.
