Thank you @davebrewer for posting this. I am a huge Charlie Lee fan viewing him in the same light as Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. He has the incredible ability to take his vision and bring it to fruition. His goal always was to be the silver to BTC gold. I believe he will achieve this.

One thing that you missed in your write up which is crucial, although I am not sure it will be in by the 4/2018 time frame you set up, is the vault. Lee is working to secure people's coins in a vault with a system that enables reversal of transactions where people's coins are hacked. Somehow he is seeking to be able to put a time period, like two days, for this to be done. He views securing coins as one of the most important steps needed to move the crypto world forward.
