I've been thinking this for some days now and this seems to confirm it:

Anyone else agree that this seems to be a blatant pump by Lee and Coinbase not to mention a conflict of interest?

Bony knees wreck shorts! It's bad when work asks you not to wear them. Lol
They are scarred up pretty good as well.

Big time, and don't forget the shills here like shelby and his god armstrong tweeting (they all bought before the news of course). I finally got my short closed, it came way to close to margin call 3 or 4 times but I stuck it out (went to bed and said fuck it if it hits .0014 I'll just take the hit), A perfect storm happened and that pump almost caught me. Took a few days for it to drop enough for me actually make a little and Luckily one of our members here handed me a lifeline if I needed it, but fortunately I didn't in the end.
You know who you are and Thank You.

Coinbase sucks more and more everyday and polo as well with those hidden bids and bad margin algorithms!
Do your own math don't trust them.

Woof... some forgotten bids just got landed on.  Wonder if I should hold on to this or take the instaprofit.

Might be a good idea to take the insta profit, considering BTC might keep pushing up, alts might take a deeper dive.

odd contrast with fluffypony telling people not to buy monero 

Yeah. I have to say that Lee has really sunk in my estimation. And Armstrong.

Really, the shit that happens in Cryptos just wouldn't be allowed to happen elsewhere.

I don't really see it that way to be honest. If Litecoin was intended to be a pump and dump, then yeah these actions would be suspect.

However in this instance, Lee just wants Litecoin to succeed, and is thus trying to encourage enthusiasm and support for the project in an environment where LTC has typically been shat on by developers who don't see the point of it. Increased trade volume has always been something of a prequisite for Coinbase adoption, so renewing speculative interest in conjunction with a long-term development strategy makes a lot of sense.  

And though he is a self-declared troll on twitter (as with fluffypony) his motivations are well intended and scam-free. (In my opinion).

Imagine a top executive of the NYSE pumping his private company on twitter and elsewhere just before, surprise surprise, the NYSE announces that they're going to list this company on their exchange.

 It wouldn't happen.

Of course Lee wants Litecoin to succeed. He probably owns a shitload of them. And, no doubt, he's worked hard and long on LTC. But, for heaven's sake, how can we expect the financial world at large to take Crypto seriously when these type of shenanigans go on?

It's not really the same thing. I understand where you're coming from, but relative to some of the more serious shenanigans that go on in the cryptospace, this isn't particularly all that meaningful. I suppose it helps to have a good understanding of some of the finer intrinsics concerning Litecoin's narrative thus far; a comedic dimension concerning Litecoin's way overdue adoption on Coinbase despite the fact that Lee works there and thus clearly has no power or insight into Armstrong's thinking. In fact the more I think about it, it was something of an awkward twitter exchange anyway, possibly Lee forcing Armstrong's hand, or the symptoms of an inside joke that is exactly the type of thing that gets misinterpreted on Twitter.

Much more of an alarm-bell was Wang Chun from f2pool (35% of LTC's hash rate) tweeting as SegWit approached 70%:-

I’ve to reconsider segwit on LTC. It makes copy code from BTC harder if LTC to activate it but BTC does else. No good news to LTC’s devel.

...before adding in a few lols, and then finally reiterating his support for SegWit after the LTC price had crashed somewhat.

I don't know, maybe you're right. Maybe everyone's just a cunt. But at least in the context of twitter it's accessible, transparent, and subject to analysis.

You can now pay any bill in Australia with Monero.

P.S. Reading reddit posts I conclude that after the multisig completion the major point of interest by Monero devs is going to be the integration in openbazaar, jaxx, exodus, coinomi etc..

[FOMOFish]

Completely closed short after reentering at 0.018 and bought some xmr spot at low 0.016.

Just need the reverse service now, so clients pay using BPay then you receive XMR

Now there's a thought...

I've been here for a quite long time.

Monero is one of the strongest coins ever. Shortly, it has a future.
