What should be one of the news, in my opinion, more important in the world of crypto-currencies right now, is really going more than unnoticed.
The first cross-chain atomic swap between BTC and LTC has just been made.
On September 19, the first cross-chain atomic swap was made between Litecoin and Decred. The link will take you to a publication where you can learn more about this technology. But basically what happened yesterday will allow that wherever Bitcoin is accepted as payment you can also use Litecoin to pay. A truly decentralized exchange without the need for an intermediary.
You send Litecoins and the other part will receive Bitcoins.

But of course, it is more important to spend time and money chasing surealists ICOs of ghost projects that are not going to get anywhere.
