Recently, Litecoin’s official account issued a clarification, stating that a statement made by founder Charlie Lee was maliciously taken out of context on social media. Influential accounts like Bitcoin Archive used fragmented clips to create a false impression that “Charlie Lee regrets creating Litecoin.”
The Truth Behind Fragmented Spread

Litecoin’s official emphasized that Charlie Lee has not been negligent but has demonstrated his commitment to Litecoin through concrete actions. He diligently advances Litecoin’s technological development daily, continuously funds ecological projects, and supports Litecoin community building across multiple dimensions. These meticulous and sustained contributions cannot be summarized by the words “regret.”
