Good news indeed. Litecoin with SegWit and Lightning Networks etc. is about to become the most technologically advanced crypto-coin. It would be a far better option than Bitcoin to be used in merchant retail payments. Massive opportunities are appearing on the horizon.

And it's still relatively cheap . . . but this just might be where the buck stops.
