Thanks for the update and this news! Litecoin's price is not affected by this news.
I never understood why devs and marketers are so often miles apart and that seems to be the case with LTC too.
The problem is that litecoin doesn't do anything that other coins don't do. If you want segwit, you can use bitcoin. If you want big blocks you can use bitcoincash. If you want fast confirmations you can use steem, if you want smart contracts you can use ether, if you want inflation, you can use doge.
What does litecoin offer than no other coin offers?
