“Wow, Charlie is giving away 100 Litecoins to the top users. Even UAE’s biggest exchange famously known as bitoasis is now supporting $LTC trades, LTC rocks. 16 million trade volume in the last 24H that’s pretty big #Litecoin”

Lili Green another twitterati said that,

“This is amazing news for Charlie Lee and Litecoin users. I can see Lee trying hard to convince people to HODL or at least invest through the new Exchange. If you haven’t figured it out yet it’s pretty simple new exchanges means more volume of currency and that leads to more pumping of money, thus increasing the long-term value. Hence Buy More”

James Jung a crypto-enthusiast says,

“This is fantastic news. However, the Korean exchanges DO NOT list any new crypto for no reason. They know something, and they smell something”
