While the market is getting rocked by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and the price $BTC is reacting to geopolitical risks, the prophetic words of Charlie Lee come to mind. The creator of Litecoin recently candidly admitted: if he could give advice to his past self, he would have never created $LTC .
