You are very optimistic! I converted my tiny amount of bitcoins to litecoins after knowing Charlie Lee is back on the project.. watched a few of his videos, he has some good vision. Of course, if any project is heavily influenced/controlled by one particular person, it could be a weakness too. But he was away for a long time working for Coinbase, and yet Litecoin turned out fine. Means something is working, right? :D
