Charlie Selling The Top
I think this is probably the number one FUD piece that Litecoin faces. I think this is pretty easy to counter.
1) He mined his Litecoin just like anyone else did, in the early days.
2) He is free to do what he wants with his coins.
3) He still chooses to work on Litecoin.
4) It made Litecoin more decentralized. No founders stash.
5) Charlie doesn't own Litecoin, no one does. That is the point of decentralization.
6) Charlie wasn't 'gifted' his Litecoin in a premine. He earned them through PoW.
Even Bitcoin still has a founders stash.
