Ep 13 - Charlie Lee - Litecoin

Episode 13 of Sharing Secrets is an interview with Charlie Lee, the creator of Litecoin. Tor asks Charlie: What secrets has he learned as the creator of one of the most successful cryptocurrencies in the world? What has he timed well - or timed poorly? How is Litecoin implementing privacy, and why was that decision made? Why is privacy important for users and for fungibility? Why does he think we’re about to see a massive surge in cryptocurrency adoption? And crucially, what will make it be sustainable?
