Nice to see the same concerns from a veteran trader. I hold Litecoin and Monero, some trading here and there but mostly with a view to accumulate, and yeah, I thought it really strange to see things like these coins mentioned in the same line (in fact behind) coins like Ripple (and Tron). I'm not one to pour scorn on other coins but haven't we seen enough nonsense and meddling from Ripple (I haven't forgotten IOTA's retraction of their partnership claims either).
