Who cares what Charlie Lee thinks?
His claim to fame was driven by:
CTRL-C
CTRL-P
And litecoin was born
He's not an innovator and apart from his mouth mouthing off, doesn't contribute that much
This gives me a feeling of "surprised, but not surprised".
2017 is going to be a huge year for Dash. Every entrenched interest is going to turn their guns on us. The semi-irrelevant schmucks like Charlie Lee are just the beginning. We are going to move from a situation where Dash is *never mentioned*, to being constantly attacked by the big names of Bitcoin. They are not going to give up the position of premier cryptocurrency easily, but the cracks in their empire are beginning to show. Just have a look at this thread:
