Charlie Lee – The very much respected and crypto-ecosystem key figure Litecoin (LTC) creator Charlie Lee during an interview for CNBC added the short-term price movements which could be massive corrections do not tell the state of the whole crypto-verse and its achievements. The long term state of the values truly mirrors what the ecosystem has reached and where it stands.

“In the long-term, [price] tells us the success of cryptocurrencies, but short-term it doesn’t really tell us much. For example this year, there’s been so much adoption in Bitcoin and Litecoin, but their price has dropped 60-70 percent. It’s because it’s so volatile, it’s all about speculation these days, but in the future the price will reflect the success of the currencies.”

According to Mr. Lee when the bears take over it is the best time to sit down and get things done that improve each individual network:

“I’d like to see more [talk around] Lightning Network and sidechains, ways of helping Bitcoin and Litecoin to scale. I think with the price depressed, it’s actually a good time for people to […] get stuff done. That’s what I’ve seen in the past few bear markets actually.”
