Summary: when you posted this thread LTC was $0.10 or less.
Now it is $1.70.
Seems like a growing market.
True, so is bitcoin. Fair enough. Although I was quite surprised to hear Coblee saying that litecoin doesn't need development right now. He argued his position well on it, but it still seems like maybe he just has no reason to develop it.
But yeah, 0.10 to 1.70 is great growth. We have to keep that in mind for bitcoin too! :-)
