it exists so that charlie lee could dump on your stupid ass and make himself rich.

litecoin is a useless copycat coin like bitcoin cash or ethereum classic, and like those other copycat coins the price will trend towards zero over time. litecoin has held up by using clever marketing lines like "silver to bitcoins gold" which is persuasive to stupid people who don't understand why silver was used in conjunction with gold historically. over time though I predict more people will catch on to how stupid that is and dump this trash

yes, i'm sure he dumped on all the bagholders at the very top so he could remain his integrity. purely for selfless reasons, no doubt

no doubt he sold his coins so he could focus entirely on developing litecoin even though litecoin is a dead project, last commit on the git repo was April 2020 and zero code contributions by Lee

There was a leaked transcript from a conference call with "The Litecoin Foundation" where he told the moneybags people who are supposedly funding its continued development that there were only three developers including himself, one quit, one ghosted, and he really doesn't give a crap any more. Basically no timeline on any future upgrades, and the """"Foundation""""" doesn't have enough cash to hire any real developers with sufficient crypto knowledge to not fuck it up. IIRC the transcript was leaked around August 2019.

He's correct, ETH kept the "ticker symbol" but ETC is running the good old "immutable ledger" code. ETH is the result of Vitalik deciding "fuck immutability" to hardfork so he could unwind the The DAO hack.

>>25099833
Immutability means a lot. Bitcoin would never hardfork to recover people's money -- that was brought up as a possible solution to unfuck the MtGox fiasco and it was correctly decided that that would destroy the fundamental principles of Bitcoin because which word of IMMUTABLE LEDGER don't you understand?

>>25100268

>Immutability means a lot.
clearly it doesn't because ETC the supposed immutable coin is worth less than 1% of ETH. The DAO rollback happened in the early days of ETH and something like that will probably never happen again. They didn't rollback the chain because of the Parity bug for instance.

Don't forget that in the earliest days of Bitcoin there was a chain rollback to fix an inflation bug. bitcoin wasn't an "immutable ledger" back then but that didn't do anything to stop its growth
