Here’s what happened: LTC price launched itself to about $92.05. That’s right, up 12% in a day. Cue dramatic zoom-in, smash cut to me staring directly into the camera like, “Did that just happen?”
The big reveal hit X (yes, Twitter, we’re still doing that) on May 7. “Terminated Rushi Manche,” the post read, like a corporate breakup text. Apparently, a new leadership is sliding into the DMs and there’ll be “governance changes.” That’s code for “Things are on fire, but please keep holding our token.”
The accompanying chart, as usual, is the hero of this story. It makes it crystal clear: a $25 weekly plunge into Bitcoin’s depths led to a stunning performance, while gold and stocks just tried to keep up, but couldn’t. Bitcoin’s curve soared like a rocket, and the others just looked at it with wide eyes, wondering where they went wrong.
