Hi Steemit community,
I haven't seen this reported on in detail, so I hope this is news to some people. Charlie Lee posted on his twitter account that many things are coming up for litecoin: including merchant processing, support for a popular online wallet, a good trading platform, and one huge unexpected surprise.

Then he implied that litecoin will be available for purchase in Mexico...

The litecoin foundation posted that the payment processor mention in Charlie's tweet is a large player...

and it has also been revealed that facebook might add support for litecoin...

The litecoin foundation also tweeted that litepay.io is on the way...

If you check out the website, it is ready to go, and it is copywrited for 2018...

and if you try to sign up, they say the site is in beta, and the full version will be ready in February 2018. What I was not expecting was a sale on litecoin today, as the price dipped to almost 200$ for a brief moment...

I dont know about you guys, but I am going to HODL.

something is up with my editor, I apologize if this is difficult to read
A good article @thescientist. I was going to post something similar, until a search found this article. I would like to say that the bullet point "Goods Trading Platform" is quite interesting. Amazon and Alibaba do not quite fit this description from my vantage. I do think it's possible to see a 4x gain in LTC by early first quarter of 2018, the combination of factors will propel LTC to a high momentum state.
