It is also worth noting that other projects are in development, but instead of "doing a BFL" by creating hype way before anything is even ready to be beta tested. It is best to ensure the projects are in a good enough working order before creating hype.

That way when they do get released, its ready to use. Which is best for the long term, instead of spoon feeding info now and again to cause pumps and dumps before anything is finalised.

The litecoin community learns all the great things bitcoin has brought to crypto community, and also litecoin will learn from bitcoins mistakes to make sure litecoin does not follow it like a deaf sheep.

As for bitcoins gold standard people keep giving it. Crypto-currencies are not a commodity, you cant make anything out of it, you cant eat it or drink it.

Crypto currencies are technically an Asset, much like a piece of art.

So its better to think of bitcoin as a Van Gogh and litecoin as a Picasso. Van Gogh will paint 21 million paintings and Picasso will paint over 80 million.
Just remember Van Gogh can be a little selfish and deaf when it comes to listening to his patrons requests, just like the bitcoin foundation. But Picasso is a totally different attitude, although some patrons will at first say it does not look like fine art at first glance with its crazy implementation, it does have an elegant beauty that will stand the test of time, and like the developers. Not afraid to learn new ways of doing things for the benefit of the patrons.

+84,000,000 LTC

Except most of the "other projects in development" are going to help Bitcoin and barely Litecoin.

And I'm sure you are all knowing of what is in development for Litecoin right?

I don't claim to be aware of everything, but there is definitely a massive "It is also worth noting that other projects are in development, but instead of "doing a BFL" by creating hype way before anything is even ready to be beta tested. It is best to ensure the projects are in a good enough working order before creating hype." project with tons of work put in it, and something *different* from blockchain/mining/etc

A coinbase isn't just about the blockchain or mining - in my mind, what makes a coinbase successful, is the community around it. Having a diverse group of people interested in it, building projects, large or small, to use it or exploring how it can be applied to their own interests.
There are a few large scale projects being developed at the moment, there are lots of smaller projects being worked on - no one project will turn it around overnight - infact I hope there isn't one project that can make or break any coin. Over reliance on one single entity is a path to failure in my mind.

On litecoin we've been working on a number of things in parallel:
We're working with the community to find out how they see it and what they'd like to see - not just with the blockchain and the client, but with the infrastructure around it.
Do they get the support they need, are they seeing the projects & services around it that they want?
Where they see it today and what they'd like to see from it tomorrow. Are there the right kind of hooks - that allow them to try out their own ideas with it?
Meanwhile we've been building some of the things we feel are missing for the coin and building some components that allow others to integrate with it a little easier.

As a community - we're not going to get these things right all of the time - but we're trying to build things up in the right kind of way that we (a) have a measurable goal, (b) measure the effect of that goal, (c) learn from it.

The OP has his own agenda - which is cool and I respect his passion in trying to bring TRC mainstream. What I object to is building contrived arguments against other coins just to further his own goals. You don't build a good solid coin or a community behind it by throwing mud - you do it by being better.
