Going to check that out, and your position in crypto sounds a lot like mine, its a store of value, that can actually increase over time. The privacy coins do indeed have some challenges, but they represent what i initially thought that Bitcoin was going to be, untill i did the research, and i just hope that they will (w/f)ork out their problems. ;)
The things i'm seeing around me today, with crypto, are the things that i always hoped i would see, and sometimes i still have to pinch myself to see if this i all truly happening.
Going to check that article you mentioned.
Personally I am a big believer in Charlie Lee. He reminds me of Jobs and Musk. He has a vision and he is implementing it. His goal is to have LTC being the money where BTC is the store of value. With atomic swaps, he wants people to be able to seamlessly switch from BTC to LTC (and ultimately to any currency). So if you have BTC in your account and need to pay for something you simply do it and it is converted to LTC on the fly.
That sounds like a killer-app for litecoin ! I think a lot of people are waiting for something like this, easy to use and understand for anyone, and the integration would benefit both parties. I hold some LTC as they seem like very underappreciated at its current price.
Here is a good interview with Lee.
Great interview !! Here really explains well, it was an easy listen. Going to look into increasing my LTC exposure, this sounds great. :D
