TL;DR<p>These developers are working on a way to create another blockchain that is separate from the Bitcoin blockchain but allows you to move Bitcoins back and forth in a safe way. The name for the second blockchain is &quot;Elements&quot;. By doing this, they can add features to Bitcoin that Bitcoin itself doesn&#x27;t support, but you can still use standard Bitcoins.<p>Unfortunately, for &quot;Elements&quot; to be fully functional, it needs some programming tweaks in the main Bitcoin software, so right now it isn&#x27;t 100% working the way it needs to (they have to use central servers as a shimmy).<p>I highly recommend the video on the page, it covers a wide number of interesting Bitcoin stuff and is totally free of fluff (very refreshing for what is ostensibly a marketing video)
