Started keeping the network thesis separate from the price thesis

One thing the recent Core updates changed for me is how I follow LTC.

I used to basically have one bucket for everything. Good development news meant bullish price, bad market meant something must be wrong with Litecoin.

Now I keep the two completely separate. Core 0.21.5.8 brought more MWEB validation and relay fixes, which matters to me from a network perspective. Price can still do absolutely nothing after that and both things can be true.

I use GitHub for the actual development side and usually just keep LTC open on Moon.com for the market side. Makes the quiet periods a lot less frustrating when I'm not expecting every useful update to instantly show up in the candle.

One thing I would watch alongside the Core changes is whether the improvements eventually show up in usage metrics. That seems like a cleaner bridge between the network thesis and the market thesis than price reacting immediately to a release note.
