Jarosław Wasiński

Editor-in-chief · Crypto, forex & macro market analyst

Cryptocurrency market participant since 2014. Previously covered forex markets at ForexMechanics.com (140+ data-driven articles on institutional-grade forex education). Focused on Litecoin on-chain analysis, market microstructure, and the intersection of crypto regulation with trading practice.

Areas of expertise: cryptocurrency exchange rate mechanics, on-chain analytics (NVT, MVRV, whale flow), Litecoin protocol development (MWEB, LitVM), crypto taxation across US/UK/EU jurisdictions, risk management and position sizing.

Philosophy: every article must include what could go wrong. No "to the moon" language. No hopium. Data first, opinion second, disclaimer always.

Editorial standards

Every article published on litecoin.watch adheres to these principles:

  • Accuracy over speed: we verify data against primary sources (block explorers, SEC filings, CoinGecko, Glassnode) before publishing. When we estimate, we say so explicitly
  • Risk disclosure is mandatory: every guide, analysis, and news article includes what could go wrong. We do not downplay drawdowns, regulatory risks, or protocol vulnerabilities
  • No financial advice: we provide information and analysis, not buy/sell recommendations. Readers make their own decisions. We are not licensed financial advisors
  • Source transparency: we cite our data sources. When on-chain data comes from Glassnode, we say Glassnode. When exchange data comes from CoinGecko, we say CoinGecko. No anonymous "sources say"
  • Corrections policy: if we publish an error, we correct it with a visible update note. We do not silently edit articles. Readers deserve to know what changed
  • Triple audit process: major articles are reviewed by multiple AI models (for factual accuracy and bias detection) and human editors (for tone, context, and experience validation) before publication

Data sources

Exchange rates are aggregated from multiple sources including major centralized exchanges and OTC desks. On-chain data comes from the Litecoin blockchain via Blockchair and our own node infrastructure. We cross-reference with data from Glassnode, IntoTheBlock, CoinMetrics, and BitInfoCharts. Network statistics (hashrate, difficulty, mempool) are sourced from Blockchair's Litecoin API.

Independence

litecoin.watch is not affiliated with the Litecoin Foundation, any exchange, broker, or financial institution. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. Our revenue comes from data services and organic traffic. This independence allows us to be honest about both Litecoin's strengths and its weaknesses — including the April 2026 MWEB exploit, the persistent LTC/BTC ratio decline, and the existential risks the network faces.

History

litecoin.watch has been tracking Litecoin market data since 2014 — through two full market cycles, three halvings, the 2017 bull run, the 2018-2019 bear market, the COVID crash, the 2021 rally, the FTX collapse, and the emergence of institutional products like the LTCC ETF in 2025. We are not newcomers chasing trends. We have been here through every cycle, and we will be here for the next one.
