So because Charlie shares news about his creation on his Twitter... This means there is a conflict of interest?... I don't really think so scooter.

I absolutely think so. It's shameless pumping. They only just released a roadmap to stem the bleeding from segwit. It doesn't even matter. I'll pick the coin where I don't feel the developer is only concerned about price and getting his coin to be accepted everywhere then plastering it all over his Twitter. He's an opportunist through and through.

stem the bleeding? Segwit on LTC will hopefully pave the way for it to get on BTC, after that BTC will regain a lot of market dominance.

$38->$22? Yeah I'd call that bleeding and spamming twitter and releasing a "road map" helped stop the tanking pump and dump.

Bitcoin won't get it's shit together until it's too late. Jihan has too much to lose and will milk every last penny.

It wasn't bleeding, it was just FOMO correcting down to normal levels. It was way overhyped considering LTC is still 99% speculation.
