"Mercury - The world's first trustless cryptocurrency exchange"

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=946174.0;all

Bitcoiners are getting excited about Mercury which is still in alpha. Bitshares can steal their thunder and attract bitcoin investors by adding atomic cross-chain trading features into the BTS client before they do. As mentioned here this is technically possible with bitshares. This would open a big decentralized gateway allowing the flow of unlimited bitcoins into bitshares.

Bitshares is well positioned to be the first and ultimate smart wallet. But Mercury appears to also be well positioned. We can request Mercury to include BTS and bitUSD but what if they include a bitUSD competitor instead? Are we at their mercy? Of course bitshares is still first mover on cfd type bitassets so it probably will be included. But winning the smart wallet race would be imho awesome for bitshares. Bitshares should be the world's first trustless cryptocurrency exchange.
