Charlie's last day at Coinbase was Friday, June 9th, 2017.

He tweeted on that around that time in June, that he was leaving to focus on Litecoin and with all the news going on with Bitcoin, which shares the same codebase with Litecoin.

I think this is great timing, considering everything going on in the Crypto space for LiteCoin to continue to shine and remain stable and grab those level-up increases in value, market cap and stats.

I love me some $LTC and Charlie Lee!


If you look at the 24h Volume chart/column here, LTC is blowing Ethereum out of the water by around ~22% or so LOL:


LiteCoin History By The Numbers & Some of My Blogs:


I've written a TON on here the last year about LiteCoin.

Here's the article I wrote the day Charlie tweeted he was leaving Coinbase as the news was breaking:

Here's the May 3rd article I did when $LTC had a massive MOONSHOT to $23 USD nearly 4 months ago now:

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@barrydutton/breaking-litecoin-moonshot-it-was-finally-added-to-coinbase-today-and-the-crypto-universe-responds-in-a-frenzy-of-crypto-love-up

So if you are keeping track then yes, about ~120 days ago, it was $23 USD and today August 27th, it crossed the $60 mark.

And guess what?

On April 5th 2017 about ~140 days ago...... LTC was about $11 USD, as it was hitting ATH's around that time as your charts will show, above.

And about 2 weeks before that so roughly March 25th, it was in the $5 and $8 range as the gains started as you can see by a past article I did here:

Here is the last 1 Year for LiteCoin via CoinmarketCap.com: The gains started the very end of March, 2017, like with many things in Crypto:


The last 90 days:


The last month:



I'm a big fan of Charlie and Litecoin and have blogged and tweeted on him/Litecoin quite a bit!

Here's me tweeting him that day he left Coinbase, to wish him well!


Charlie is well known, respected and liked in the crypto space.

Litecoin for those who do not know was basically the 2nd crypto coin on the scene behind bitcoin.

It is a well established coin and community and Charlie knows his stuff, nobody debates this.



LiteCoin is amazing, and the gains have been hard fought for, and well deserved!!! God bless ya Charlie!

Exciting times for LTC! Two huge milestones hit and I believe it has a lot more ahead in near future. I'm a long term holder. LTC to the moon! Congrats on your investment.

Hey thanks for the kind words!

Congrats to you also!!

I love litecoin ..it is stable and keeping it's value
In confront of the bitcoin it worth between 1% and 2% of a bitcoin (similar proportion as silver to Gold).
It is one of those coins that I always buy and never sell

..I relay hope to see it's price in the thousands real soon :)
..I hope that one day it will worth 10% of a bitcoin

That is well said, on all counts there.

I agree, I would love to see it keep climbing and remain stable and boring like I said many times..... as a great store of value and currency-like

litecoin is a great alternative for bitcoin, i see a lot of potential in this one

Keep going Charlie!

Hey nice to hear from you again man LOL

Who doesn't like Litecoin? $60+ hell yeah!

This indeed has been a long time overdue. CL was brilliant in easing the way for SegWit into Bitcoin with his low profile charming of the Chinese crypto community.

Now he is working on cross-chain atomic swaps with the Decred devs and that will be awesome. We'll have scaling and privacy with BTC-DCR-LTC and probably others too. The value proposition of Monero after that stuff gets built is not certain IMO.

Well, that is a great reply top to bottom LOL.

I have to get offline or I would keep praising you for that for another 20 mins or so LOL.

Have a good week man, and thanks for adding value to my post with your comments!!!

Upvoted that!!!

LTC is the OG

#LiteCoin $LTC #LTC Milestones! $60 + $3B. Congrats @SatoshiLite - We love you man. #Steemit #CryptoCurrency #Blog bit.ly/2xEF5aT

Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.

LTC and BTC both belong to segwit but LTC is better than BTC , faster, low transaction fee, and more stable as of now. But steem is far far better than anyone of them.

Let's ride them all to more #Liberty.

thanks for sharing post

Thanks for commenting today, it is appreciated!

I read your whole post i really liked it i appreciate your hard work keep it up

Charlie Lee is very impressive from what I read about him. He certainly appears committed and has a vision for LTC. I believe he will pull off what he intends and that bode wells for all those holding LTC long term.

Unlike BTC which has the anonymous founder, Lee is at the forefront as a proponent of the coin he helped to create.

I cannot be happier for all the LTC people and him too. He is a hard worker and smart as heck.

I think that LTC will be at least a $50B currency in the future.....

Perhaps it even chases down BTC.

LOL.

WHICH Bitcoin since even more are coming LOL
