"Ultimately he says it’s a conflict of interest for him to hold LiteCoin and tweet about it since he has so much influence, being the creator and all."

This is seriously concerning that he would say this. It seems like he doesn't even understand the concept of conflict of interest. In fact, this is the exact opposite of conflict of interest, it's just more incentive for the project to succeed. It's like saying the owner of a company has a conflict of interest because he wants the company to succeed.

I almost can't believe he actually wrote that. It simply boggles the mind.
