Full disclosure: I created the $1MM SegWit bounty. Now that Bitcoin has activated SegWit, this bounty is no longer needed. That's all! ??

Well, I wouldn't risk a $200MM (at that time) currency with a risky upgrade if I didn't believe in it myself.
Litecoin never had any ICO, it never had any premine, Charlie Lee never had any advantage over others to get more coins. he either mined them like others or bought them like others
how many other altcoin developers can say the same thing?
how many of them even care about their own project to "buy it"?
this is what we need in altcoin scene. developers who care about their own project at least. not more ICOs, more premines and more developers who look for a way to make more money fast.
