I think this posting by Coblee: Litecoin Does Not Need Development Right Now will go down in history final turning point and starting date of LTCs last phase of life, leading to complete project failure and price < 1Ct.

Even now, well known hardcore Litecoiners for the first time don't believe Coblee anymore, they doubt the statement and think its wrong and questioned it in public.
(People that always until this point took als words from Coblee as "undoubtedly messages from god" and NEVER questioned a word he said before and always frenetic defended other controverse statements by Coblee before.)

Except that he's right. The protocol works as intended. It doesn't have any huge bugs that need squashing. What he's saying is that you shouldn't expect them to start adding any new bells and whistles to it, in an effort to create news for some kind of short-term pump. There's no reason to add anything that could potentially break it, for questionable gain.

He isn't suggesting that Litecoin doesn't need any third party development. He's just saying that the protocol itself is solid. Look at what Warren is working on, in terms of changes. There ARE things planned for it...changes to accommodate sidechains in the future and things of that nature, which will eventually require a hard fork. But with the protocol working well and not encountering major problems, there ISN'T an urgent need for major developments. It's short attention span theater in crypto, these days...I swear.
