I'm so excited. With BTC rise LTC can actually multiply making it the best investment  :)

Dream on, lol  :D

$10? Ha seems like a dream.. Would be awesome though.

Its possible. For what I've been reading, between February and March, will be crazy and all are predicting passing 10$

I started to gather some litecoins few days ago, its much eaiser to gather that then bitcoins. And I`m fallowing prices on some trading sites soon i will try to make some deal, but now i see this topic.
How sure are u in this, I see kindcrypto said " dream on", why so negative about it?
I have some other coins also, I thought to sell them for bitcoins and after this I will think to try to buy litecoins as much as I can until this rise comes.

very optimistic and nice dream because just a few more weeks remaining we will reach to 2016 but i'm so doubt it would be happened especially in that year

Well I hope you're right! would be great to see it at $10!

We got 8.65$ this year, so 10$ is perfectly possible to achieve. We just need to wait until bitcoin chokes a little bit with his 1mb block size and a good amount overflows to litecoin.

Although it possible it not likely we will see 10$ LTC as soon as it get anywhere near it the dumping will happen imo.

If it reach 10 again everybody will sell and a new trend down will begin. :)

You should buy some litecoins now that its still has low value. I've bought several lately cause i don't wanna wait till it reaches higher that I can't afford no more.
While its less than $5, buy now, it will be an investment for you.

Why do you think those gambling sites keep adding litecoins as alternative? because its VALUABLE!!

If you are selling yours, let me know, I'll buy it.

10$ ltc has long left the station and derailed off the tracks never to be seen again.

If there is a general rise of digital coins, litecoin will see $10. Otherwise it will be staying around current level.

This can only happen if btc will shoot over $1000. Till then not much will change, imo.

so true
last time when btc was more then 1000 ltc was over 40
considering that price for ltc has change only 50 cents and btc rise was more then 100
then do the math
if goes over 1000 btc ltc will go over 5 and that it

You hear that ? ..it's his alarm clock going off

Moving between $3-5 is a more likely scenario, but a new bitcoin bubble can pull prices to a lot higher (something in the $10-20 region).
Everything depends on the BTC prices, so we are in the hands of God whales :).

I think even above $40 is possible if BTC spikes, that money needs to go somewhere and Litecoin is the best candidate there

all good alts spike after the initial btc rise and alt drop..

btc = 1200 ltc =40

Nothing is impossible, I hope litecoin go to the moon in a years 2016
I think time to buy now and hold for long term.

I hope so for everybody who keeps his LTC.
I am thinking about selling them in a few days for BTC.

I wouldnt sell it now. Hold them until March/April 2016. If nothing happens then you sell it.

Litecoin to 10 is possible, but only if Bitcoin increases drastically. And if so, I am sure you will earn more having the money in Bitcoin itself.

It's impossible, Litecoin couldn't even see 10$ before the block halving. They dumped so hard when it came to 10$ resistance.
It may see 5$ but nothing more, your speculation worth nothing.

Are you all betting folks?  Is there any place where you can lay a bet on the direction of altcoins? 

I find it highly unlikely ltc is going to hit $10, but who knows.  Cryptocurrency is a forest of strange birds and anything is possible.

LTC will go above $50 i '16 imo

I cant believe we actually agree for once. It's a miracle. Must be the season.

Predictions:
Feb 2016
BTC >$600
LTC > $10

How old are you?

i predict new highs for both BTC n LTC in 2016 (and i'm no btc fan). so i think these are underestimates.

I agree with you on the BTC>$600 but LTC>$10 is difficult to achieve. LTC will remain stagnant or decrease in relative to BTC while its USD price is increasing.
I feel we will see LTC at $6 at the max.

They are, Im pretty confident that those prices will be shattered in 2016 but to stay grounded I gave a more conservative opinion.

If bitcoin hit say 1000 bucks it would not be improbable at all.....hell if BTC hit say 600 bucks ...perhaps folk would then think that 'really' open crypto coin
were here to stay..as an an 'alternative' to 600 buck BTC as long as the linkage to BTC rise/etc continues..it COULD happen


just saying..if this is NOT true why do folk bother to 'speculate' in silver when they could do the same thing with gold...go figure

(silly hairless primates we all are ...its a wonder sometimes how it all hangs together in the world anyway) :)

Litecoin price is about $3.5 at the moment. It can reach $10 easily with a big pump. The market cap of litecoin is smaller than bitcoin.

This will not happen i dont think that we will see 2013 again realistic price may be in range 5-10$

My prediction for 2016 sees several exchanges that currently only trade bitcoin adopting Litecoin as well.

Basically it comes down to sound business practice. The top exchanges in the world currently trade both and then there is the financial incentive. CEOs will have to decide between promoting only bitcoin for personal reasons (Their own holdings) or run the exchange based on the best business model. The large volume of litecoin traded in the last two months of 2015 is in preparation of this change (those in the know buying).

Based on this theory I expect litecoin price to increase dramatically. This increase will be good for bitcoin as well when the same sense of excitement that existed in 2013 is re-visited when litecoin makes the news in a big way. Additionally the upcoming halving in this positive environment will contribute to the upside for bitcoin which will add additional momentum to litecoins price.

Looking forward to the new year.

HEY! I like his dream..it resides in the 'realm of possibility" that someday it MAY happen..with the same likelihood that I will marry and settle down and
have 5 kids with Natalie Portman.....HOW DARE YOU IMPLY THRU THE ABOVE THAT HE IS WRONG AND KILL MY DREAM BY THE ASSOCIATION OF THE HORROR OF A NOTION
CALLED:    REALITY! *shudder*

anyway time for my 'meds' :)

in still think that i wont pass 10$
maybe im wrong but considering that how much btc goes up ltc follow in cents dunno

hope im wrong on this one and price goes over 10 and perhaps if btc stabilize after halving to 600-700 range ltc will be more then 10$, maybe 15-20$

So I have three litecoin faucets and have been storing litecoins for quite some time hope you have a tongue of an angel and that will come true looking forward to that long live litecoin!!

With that kind of faith I take it you're fully invested in litecoin and have dumped your Bitcoin to buy? Never will we see $40 again for litecoin. The op is closer but even that is off by a few dollars - Ltc to about $7-$8 and that is assuming the halving hasn't already been priced into Bitcoin which it may well have been.

That was a surprisingly sophisticated turn of the tongue, my man.  But still, I don't think litecoin's going anywhere and I still definitely don't think it's going to $40 again.  Bitcoin, though?  Bitcoin could go to $1200.

Litecoin will rise in price. But the price difference will be bigger between it and bitcoin.

Best candidate?  Care to tell us why?  Is there some new development or adoption happening?  Anything?

All I see is stagnation.

I'm counting on it. Judging by what happened in 2013 we might see the same reaction with the LTC price. I'm positive about that.

the only way LTC goes up is if these chinese want it to go up.  END OF STORY.

LTC still is the second biggest cryptocurrency network! So I bought some a while back ago and I'm pretty confident I'll be able to double my investment.

Why?  "it's big, therefore it will get bigger" doesn't make sense.  Can anyone give me a real reason why LTC would increase in value?

i dont think there will be such a huge increase in just one year

I think litecoin will go under 1 dollar in 2016.

Like my expectation, really nothing happened in terms of development. The litecoin dev. team think they can outcompete bitcoin by doing... nothing :S

You serious?

Nah you cant be. Litecoin is on its death bed right now, lol.

You probably never will see LTC at 10$ unless it get pumped. Ltc is just to brandes as silver and BTC as gold. That means that you can rather use bitcoins than LTC. Pump and dumps happens but for LTC to stay at such high value then it has to do something that BTC cant do.

i dont thinks so recent jump first occur in Europe markets this was first time Chinese follow
it might happen again latter with ltc but its hard to tell

What do you think will happen when BTC halves? To do something that BTC doesn't do? Like confirm transactions?

LOl yeah.
I don't see this happening either. Let them first have actually purpose for litecoin. These days is nothing better then any other altcoin.

we're still cryptocurrency pioneers... think long term like 5 or 10 years - how much will it be when bitcoin hits $5,0000 or 10,000 ??

Litecoin doesnt even have an ios wallet, its only meant for crypto nerds and traders. Its userbase for a coin with 100+M marketcap and excisting for years already is laughable. See here how poor it's doing in adoption https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1285762.0, its only interesting for trading it for btc and vice versa, not interesting for non traders at all.

Demand for litecoin has been going down in 2015, see how bitcoin is almost half the price from its all time high, if litecoin would be as interesting as in 2013 its price should be higher than its $3 now. This shows bitcoin going up doesnt guarantee litecoin to follow, cus bitcoin actually went up but litecoin didnt follow at all, u can see its price now its 0.008.

I think you misunderstand the relationship between currency and technology. From a technological standpoint, LTC offers nothing better than any other coin out there and some could say the development curve looks more like a natural log curve rather than a logarithmic one. From a trust standpoint, litecoin offers the second longest sustained network in existence. After all, what is money? Its premise is based on trust, the belief that it in itself is a store of value. That is all you need to have a successful currency.

With that being said, the rise in btc/ltc will depend heavily on what happens in China this year. With a slowing economy, China will likely devalue the Renminbi to make exporting a better value for foreign entities but this will also scare investors who may look to move their capital outside the country. Digitial currency is by far the best way to move liquid assets around the world in a timely manner. If BTC moves back to the $1,000-$1,200 range you can expect LTC to move to $10-$12.

Your second argument holds true for every altcoin in existence. Remember when mastercoin was $160 a coin? That relationship went from 0.13 to 5 x 10^3.

So if both were to go hand in hand with price rises then what coin is goint to give you more bang for the buck? Still bitcoin i would imagine? im still pondering on picking up a few lite but i might be as well just putting that cash into bitcoin.

Well you are way to optimistic.
For bitcoin to increase, yeah likely!
For litecoin to go beyond 5 dollar again? No way that will happen.

Bitcoin will always have the best potential for highest rate of return. Demand drives speculative price increases and the masses that sit on their coins limit the available supply. I think $432 a coin is a really high valuation given the amount of coin in existence. As I said, China demand in 2016 will ultimately drive the price of bitcoin. Though theoretically, the next halving should further limit the available supply thus driving up the price as long as the demand is there. Time will tell. 

disagree completely, i think (and history shows) litecoin has a better potential for a higher rate of return then btc.

techniclly you hit right question
cuz no way we can predict LTC price if BTC hit 5 or 10K margin
but if comes like now price in that case would be in range of 40-80$
but if happen like 2013 price in that case would be much higher 160 -330$

we can see the difference

No, do not agree with you. Litecoin has no special technical feature what would justify a 300% price increase of Litecoins.
There are other and better candidates like DASH, Ethereum, Monero etc.

Well in that case Vericoin will reach 1USD.

Money making is so easy nowadays. I just can't stop hoarding all these cheap LTC  :)

Who gives a shit about those nerd coins? They are only for believers.
Bitcoin and Litecoin are for the real investors and money makers  :)

You forgot to mention that litecoin has four times the transaction capacity of the bitcoin network. As well as anti-spam built in that most likely increases real transaction capacity significantly. Considering the on going debate on increasing bitcoin transaction capacity (and it's current short coming)........significant advantages.

LTC is a improved BTC, but not future-safe. For now it us superior in usability but nothing forbids any other coin to become better than litecoin

I agree completely.

One of the biggest fallacy put forth by bitcoin only proponents is that since bitcoin is currently divisible to eight decimal places that no other cryptocurrency is needed. The fact is bitcoin will never be capable of the number of transactions that adoption suggests: making the number of potential divisions meaningless. Even if both Litecoin and Bitcoin were fully adopted together they would not be capable of keeping up transactionally if accepted by the general public.

In the current situation (very little adoption) Litecoin is positioned to pick up Bitcoins slack. The fact is if Bitcoin proponents don't accept and encourage additional coins the current bottleneck will drive new users away. They may come up with a solution that will temporarily relieve the bottleneck by increasing blocksize; but, if adoption occurs people would once again have to abandon bitcoin to complete transactions elsewhere.

There may well be another coin waiting in the wings as a future replacement. In the current environment Litecoin is the most likely candidate to compliment Bitcoin. So this year and in the near future Litecoin usage and therefore value will likely increase.

Improved? How? Four times the coin supply and one quarter the block time is not an improvement. Scrypt vs SHA256, again, not "improved" by any stretch.

Four times the transaction capacity is definitely an improvement unless you ignore bitcoins current problems (feel free it won't make it go away). Not to mention anti-spam. And frankly having used both coins the one quarter block time and faster confirmation is an improvement as well. I'll agree that coin supply or Scrypt is not an improvement or detrimental...just different.

The odd thing is that this capacity problem and how it would have a negative impact on adoption was being discussed years ago. Well it's here.

@ the last few posters

Litecoin suffers from the same scalability issues as Bitcoin, because its code is heavily based on Bitcoin. Litecoin, as it exists today, is not a solution to cryptocurrency scalability.

Yet, I still own some Litecoins because the network effect is as close to the holy grail of features as any cryptocurrency could ever dream of having.

I agree scalability is the issue for both coins. Bitcoin is hitting that wall now. With four times greater capacity it will take longer for Litecoin to reach that wall. Until these problems are solved Litecoin makes an excellent choice as a Bitcoin alternative. This will likely result in an increase in price.

Litecoin doesn't have four times greater capacity, it doesn't have any greater capacity to handle more transactions than Bitcoin does... that what I was getting at. It has four times quicker confirmation speeds, which in turn are 1/4 as secure as Bitcoin's confirmations. Confirmation speeds have nothing to do with scalability, as far as how many transactions the cryptocurrency can process per second (which is what you are alluding to when saying "transaction capacity".) Because Litecoin is heavily based on Bitcoin, it has very similar scalability issues.

I have not disagreed that litecoin has similar scalability issues. Litecoin effectively has four times the block size of bitcoin. I don't mean to suggest that an individual block is four times the size but, that the sum of the four blocks is. This permits four times as many transactions in a ten minute period. This is my understanding based on what I've read. If having an effective block size four times larger does not permit more transactions I've completely misunderstood the current disagreements on Bitcoin block size.

Oh, I got you. Never mind then.

Cheers

Does that mean your buying the beer?  ;D

Sure! (Bitcointalk needs a tipping bot...)

Heh ...10 buck LTC will happen at around 1,200 usd BTC (just saying no need to throw stuff at me in the thread here...ducks....)

 but would be nice..I'm sitting on 1675 ltc and mining 195 ltc a month on 2 titans ...due to the fact I'm a 'legal miner in usa..ie IRS has me 'tag'd as btc wildlife" ....(bank in 2013
had issue with me sending 10k to knc for btc miners then (they said i sent 90k) bank errror ..but they told SEC...because you know btc is 'evil' ...so I had to file because
of the newly released 2013 IRS crypto guidelines..so they tried to hang me up....nice to toss down legit biz tax forms told them FU....so SEC is cool..all was resolved and
with 25% equip deduction it all comes out even steven..pain in the ass thou it is)

ANYWAY...I can ONLY move LTC to BTC at the price I mined it for..thus the 1.30 last summer etc and halving etc ....I'm 1,675 ahead...can't move the coin for 1 year or 1 day
or 40% capital gains on the profit made (thus I hoard) ..it is nice that hoarding LTC worked out for me..but only making like 195 ltc a month on Titans....soooooooo...

I will be an LTC whale till 2017 at least don't ya know (prob will have 3k by 2017 in which I will be able to move 1k to BTC ..thus still 2k LTC whale)

So anyway with the above in mind I FRIGGING HOPE THE OP IS CORRECT AND $10 BUCK LTC ..I will of course LIE and remove all posts that I had no frigging idea how this
would work out and claim in the future it was all genius planning on my part.....evil genius that I am (or was 20 years from now when I lie about this) :)

So....frigging OP of this thread better be right....I would be so golden :) (have a deep fear I have 'too much' in common with the folk of old in myth 'beanie baby collectors' shudder)

whatever...you deal with the hand you are played...at least have paid  NO taxes with the equip depreciation etc it is a wash (2 years to go ..5 year plan as home biz)

so it goes...I'm a 'reluctant' LTC whale (have moved 31 btc worth from LTC thou.....).....

anyway some of this holding by the big boys of crypto in BTC and LTC from data halls (in the usa anyway) MAY be partially due to the above like my case :(

yes we can see price above 10$ but for what
most of miners that i know moved from ltc to some other (on my opinion mistake) cuz they chase fast profit
im on other hand for stable profit make small amount and in the right moment sell or exchange for btc (i mean on all altcoins)

yeah I do the same myself.....someday my Titan miners will go 'doorstop' then less stress..just sit back and yell in BTC Chat about the btc price...and such ....good to have goals :)


but as my previous post says...somewhat 'stymied' at the moment due to circumstances of being a legal miner in the USA and 'tag'd as such by the IRS....

On the other hand if LTC keeps its more or less  0.01 ltc to btc ratio into 2017 I'm golden....(not now it sucks 0.00808 ltc to btc) so a guy can hope :)

LTC whale whether I want to be or not...it is the only prudent option as long as it is great to mine these 2 titans to LTC ......

silly hobby :) jeez I drank too much BTC kool aid back in the day :)

i know the felling i dont mine but i know how this fells
i sure hope to see ltc above 0.01

LTC may penetrate $ 10 or more in 2016 with a look at current developments, and will definitely have an impact on the difficulty of getting free LTC

The last rise of ltc cooming from a big china ponzi/scam ...
I hope they go up again... but in the while I have selled some months ago for 0.01 each one ltc.
Not bad, as I can see today is 20% undervalued.

Look at the LTC charts and compare them to BTC and other alts which made it to the moon in the past   :)

Yeah most asics are from china so they pump or dump the litecoin price every while.
It's just waiting for the next pump to happen.

I hope for some change in price cuz my coins are still on cryptsy can transfers it it takes days

With such high hopes regarding price jumps for litecoin would it be possible for new users to mine LTCs solely on their own using their GPUs/CPUs or do we gotta do some heavy lifting (i.e. buy minig rigs for litecoin)???
Just asking

And on another note Dux2K you should check out Cryptsy once again if you haven't done so for some time. That's cause its been going around that the site is showing problems regarding paying its users and has become insolvent or something. Seriously, check it out as soon as you can.

This would be nice to see Litecoin going up and not going down.
I have seen that litecoin was not going good.

I have also didn't heard a long time about litecoin.

I think that can happen I don't see that impossible to reach.
I am hoping for Litecoin to grow all people is talking about bitcoin.
But is also to see some Litecoins in the board.

Yes we can dream about it. I think that can be possible you have seen some coins that it can go up.
Everything is possible the only thing you don't know when wil increase or decrease.

Actually, 0.01 is the very-long-term 'fair' ratio for LTC. Granted that long-term relationships are brittle in this sector (ouch), but this one has held up and is still holding up.

If we consider the number of coin in total, the ration should be 0.25. However, litecoin is just a clone, and does not offer new features, so 0.01 might be appropriate.

dream on realistic price is to go over 0.01 maybe be on 0.015 - 0.019 max for now on prime peek in 2013 was roughly 40 ltc for 1 btc now it much bigger

From where exactly those numbers are coming from? My understanding was we are talking about a completely worthless digital excrement which real value (zero) is determined by the fact that it is used by absolutely nobody in any real world economic process. Therefore, any arbitrary number could be pulled out from the thin air and you could say 0.00001 or 0.5 just like you said 0.01 or 0.25.

Why is relevant that how many number of those shit exist, which again used by no absolutely nobody outside of a few (in economic terms) completely irrelevant crypto currency exchanges? I thought common sense dictates that if a thing is useless and in fact used by nobody, then its value is zero and then the combined value of all existing thing should be zero as well.
I fully understand currently it is not the case as as few wankers pumping and dumping this thing on crypto currency exchanges, and then fanboys and delusional wannabe rich speculators trading it as well, but it doesn't mean you can apply a rational pricing model such as volume per price ratio to that worthless thing.

then your understanding is somewhat erroneous.

Of ? Tenebrix ? Fairbrix ? Doge ?

Yup i had a guy tell me that on iRC way back.. he claimed all mouthy like that LTC was a clone of Doge ROFL
I still have the log showing the little idiot noob mouthy me off all angry when i dissed Doge on the Cryptsy IRC channel in 2014.

So kelsey.. have my babies !
I will pay you in LTC for your services ;)
I'd ask BitcoinEXpress be he hasn't been around much for a while :(

Spoetnik and I both hold our Life Savings and eggnog enema funds in LTC, DOGE, mostly PayCoin, some BTS, and an ungodly amount in Reddcoin.

In my case, looking at a very-long-term chart. The range is wide, and it's predominated on the low side recently, but buying well below 0.01 offers an eventual chance to get out at above 0.01 - even if the proximate cause is as evanescent as a Chinese pump.

i highly doubt that, can happen but still...

ON the other hand..I too think the odds of this are small ...say 5% or less..$40 LTC moon to BTC's 1000 usd price say....but it is POSSIBLE that if say BTC was to hit 2k a BTC someday.....at the 0.01 ratio LTC to BTC that more or less historically has been reached by LTC at least once in awhile....well that would mean $20 buck LTC say....as hard as it is to wrap my head around such...


on the other hand look at what has happened with BTC as an example below (randomly chose the month/days in July) :)

from this historical chart (link)

http://www.coindesk.com/price/ (http://www.coindesk.com/price/)

July 19th 2010   $    0.07

July 18th 2011   $   13.71

July 16th 2012   $     8.72

July 15th 2013   $    88.40

July 14th 2014   $   621.56

July 13th 2015   $   280.60

Jan   8th 2014    $  456.00   (now)


Again if LTC follows in such a 0.01 LTC to BTC ratio...well no issues....but I will be sad because I probably will have moved MOST of it to BTC by then (I mine) but still I think

there is a 50/50 chance of LTC going to the  moon when BTC does in my above guess however....spiking past that to 40 bucks or more in the above hope only 5% odds imho

anyway my guesses :)

If Bitcoin reaches $1,000, Litecoin will be worth at least $17.

Last time when the bitcoin was $1000, litecoin reached $45. So $17 is lower than the previous peak.

It might be or it will go like before over 40 if follow btc in price

The first time when bitcoin peaked, litecoin was able to profit of this increase.
I don't see this happening now, since litecoin is just a simple bitcoin clone, nothing special

It would be good to see litecoin spike again to 20 dollar. But i am losing my patience this will ever happen.
Seems that litecoin is having no new things happening for them.

yes.  I don't think $10 is a long shot as it has been trending with Bitcoin.  If Bitcoin can go over 1000/coin then we might see it. Either way it is holding its own.

stop making tard statements like this, thanks

https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/3z2ta1/ama_official_litecoin_developers_and_litecoin/cyitmbt

Yes, we can, but not is used as bitcoin and is most difficulty....

Other altcoins may rise in price however if Bitcoin start to get momentum I would say Litecoin will not do as well as it did in the past. If more common people and investors are interested in Bitcoin they won't pursue the "second's best". It may have worked in the past but I don't see it happening right now, Litecoin doesn't that much to offer compared to Bitcoin and it's merely an alternative in my eyes. Other coins may have better luck because of complete different technologies though.

There's no way litecoin will see this kind of increase the price is actually just moving because of market manipulators.
No real  new things has happened since a long time.

Chances of Litecoin going up are better actually, mainly because of the problems bitcoin is dealing with; problems Litecoin does not face.

Your logic is flawed.

Problems like what really? The main problem Bitcoin has is user adoption and price volatility, the rest is technical mumbo jumbo if you will that no one cares about just like you don't think about how Paypal or CCs work. Bitcoin has the potential to change the world if it just find its niche and becomes more user friendly.

There will be a bear trap before $5 then when weak hands sold $10 and above is easy.

The technicals are very important actually. Without adjusting the way bitcoin works, it will most likely fail. Read up on it..

i highly doubt that, can happen but still...

I'm not sure about the 50/50 thing but agree with the rest of your argument.

even last time was the same and price come to 40$ dont be so skeptic
more it will like this if ltc pass barrier 5$ the anything is possible from that ltc price go up and for that it stay on 5$

again at the somewhat 'lousy' LTC to BTC ratio now of 0.008 LTC to BTC.....IF as the pundits are saying BTC was to hit 650 usd this year

that would correspond to 5.20 LTC .....if you doubled the difficulty at that price with my 2 Titans (645mh) I'm still making 400 usd a month

after electric....if I can hang on till winter (lower elec rates) and you dumped the difficulty to 1.5x what it is now....again still 400 usd a month

after electric saying that is what the difficulty would be winter time .....on my attempt to mine yet....

But at a $5.20 price the dam would break and new asic products would flow out for scrypt imho....at 3.50 not a big rush imho ....they are waiting imho

(getting IPO capital etc ...making decision on when to pull the trigger and get them done) ...so price ..probably LTC is key here on if/when they build

some scrypt data halls and eventual probably home equip for scrypt too boot

At 5.20 LTC this would ramp up quick!

Also the equip they are kinda saying they would build for hosting or individual products (not bulk chips or data halls) are in the 500mh ball park at say 1150 watts
or some such...depending on how fast difficulty rose....a 350mh knc Titan at 1250 watts can still (in my basement) run with this pack

so anyway ...price will determine how much miners/data halls/etc will hit the world for scrypt...if I'm lucky it will be 'just enough" say 5 bucks ...to string my

Titan along thru next winter...if it was to shoot to 10 bucks ...well ....the equip would hit the world in mass and my miner would be kaput by say nov at best

we will see.....and to the skeptics ..the assumption is the historical about 0.01 ltc to btc (now at 0.008 ltc to btc) will kinda sorta stay in place

if that goes all the above is moot indeed :)

Looking forward to the increase in value during the next two months. Both in ratio and dollar wise. Should be an interesting year for Litecoin.

Newbs always get suckered in by ltc, which is a dead coin which offers nothing. They don't even make new miners for this shit coin. There is no impetus for this coin to rise to $10

Vertcoin is the real Litecoin, and has stealth addresses and is asic resistant which makes it more secure. It's younger so price is lower, but it's much easier to double your money in VTC than LTC.

See you next January and see which coin had a better year, cheers.

Litecoin community has lot of ltc holders, who still believe ltc will rise in it value and get a better ratio against btc than now. $10 speculation can be highly possible in 2016. However, due to high volatality in btc trading. The value may not get altered to that level. These days ltc value remains calm and trading in the range of 3 to 4 dollars for a quite time. $10 is somewhat achievable but expecting $5 to $7 is a decent one.

i never doubt in ltc but like to hear and others whit some good infos and tips also monitoring difference between VTC and DASH in LTC price range i they both look promising maybe ltc will only follow BTC in price 100:1 ratio cuz i have noticed when btc jumps or go down for 10$ ltc do the same but in cents

We need the ratio to bitcoin and dollar both rise for the litecoin to be a viable coin. Otherwise, people will just use bitcoin.

Imminent adoption by several exchanges and payment processors will be beneficial. It's easier and less risky than to wait for the bitcoin dust to settle.

It seems Litecoin can't really stand on its own always following bitcoin's footstep.

these two coins are too related... every time btc dump ltc the same and vice - versa .
If Ltc couldn't broke this linking couldn't become "independent" ....

If the developers wouldn't be this lazy we could see some price action happening.
But with no developments for over a year, i say we will never see 10 dollar again.

Those days are long gone.

Please look here to learn about the development situation for 2016:

https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/3z2ta1/ama_official_litecoin_developers_and_litecoin/

Please go here to be aware of new releases in past year:

https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/releases

this wont happen cuz no one is developing ltc for long time so he will still be pulled by BTC

if you'd bothered to read the above links you know your comments are simply not true. at this point in time its being better developed then bitcoin, because as coblee puts it; litecoin can take risks, and well we all know the battles happening around bitcoin core team.

kelsey -  I have to admit a sense of amusement by the position in the thread of azguard's posting.

Litecoin is now slightly above $3 and Litecoin does not seem to rise faster than Bitcoin. If Litecoin manages to rise to $10, Bitcoin will be more than $1,000 per piece. There is no point in buying Litecoin now.

Yes, its possible. litecoin has been popular next to Bitcoin, its been widely used now in Hyips sites, because many people see its value

If you look here you'll find an example indicating the large increase in trading volume Litecoin has demonstrated in the last six months. If you take a look at the blockchain additional millions have changed hands outside of the exchange environment.

https://cryptowat.ch/okcoin/ltccny/1w

This level of activity indicates interest in the coin. Adoption by any US based exchange and/or payment processor this year will only increase popularity.

Sorry but i found nothing interesting about LTC .
Scrypt is bad for mining lot o heat..
And feather coin too.

If btc comes over1000 then ltc will be 10 orover no other way for it

The scrypt mining consumes more power in GPU. That is because it uses a lot of memory operation. Bitcoin mining does not stress GPU as much.

well IF you have (or can find at a good price 'unicorn' scrypt equip like Titans or Alcheminers)  I will use LTC as an example of 'difficulty rises'

When I turned on my orig knc Titan 350mh (got 306.1 2 dead dies) the difficulty of the network was 1169 gh

today the difficulty 'is' 1611 gh...and I think that is at the top end of as high as it has ever been....so if you use that as a 'range'

the difficulty of litecoin rise since I mined it (not counting the halving mind you) has gone up (again in the range between 1169 and 1611 as of today)

about 27.44% rise from Nov 8th? I think it was 2014 till today 1/21/16..that range is about what ..the last 2.5 months of diff rise for btc?

THUS from a 'large scrypt miner' point of view ( i also got a used titan march 2015 total of 2) and mining LTC at around 1.60 before halving more or less

This works VERY WELL for making LTC (holding some) and moving some to BTC ..you hold LTC you move some to BTC you ponder....you mine :)

So I have about 2k of LTC and moved the rest to BTC ..if I moved it all today to BTC it would be about 57 BTC ahead  and with 2 Titans I STILL clear above 500 usd

a month after electric

my point is LTC has 'usefulness' in speculation...China traders love it....it also has usefulness for the miners that DO have the equipment to still mine it vs

electric...due to the difficulty *up to this point* manageable....esp if you mined the vast majority before halving in the sub 2 buck range



this could change with new scrypt equipment....and I have 'mixed' feelings about that...but hell imho the price would have to be above 5 usd for LTC before

they jump in the pool for getting new scrypt out for data halls or the masses big time. .....who knows ...when it does happen imho it will be above 5 buck LTC ...till then we plod along with equip (scrypt) that exists now

IF BTC hits 650 as everyone seems to hope and if LTC keeps the ratio to btc it has now.....0.008 ltc to btc...that would mean 5.20 LTC

so there are many 'perspectives' or 'reasons' why LTC is 'chugging along' in its niche for trading and mining in my manner by many

sure.. it could all change...but the OP of this thread could be very right (thus my 2k of LTC as an aside ..just in case)

there is the 'real' although a point could be made....slight lets say ....possibility that IF BTC was to boom this year.....LTC could boom more as an 'alternative'

beyond expectations....as it has in the past....

but anyway....LTC in my view at least in the above examples...seems to chug along quite nicely.....so I will continue to go with the flow and mine LTC and

move most (but not all) to btc as the ltc to btc ratio tells me to.....

slow/steady...plodding is not necessarily bad with all the 'crypto' fud out there imho :)

anyway....we will see....just a perspective on why if you can still mine scrypt at an acceptable cost vs electric....LTC is the only way to go

and again I HOLD ltc I don't mine LTC to BTC daily on a multipool...the titans go 100% no errors on litecoinpool.org ..I got 4-6% error rate and 2% fee on multipools

so went with minng LTC....1.60 or so LTC before halving and the price now ....moving appropriately in 2015 put me more the 7k ahead

so again....find a niche....play the niche...a coin does not have to be all drama all the time to have usefulness...even if it is yoshi to btc's mario :)

anyway my view for what it is worth

 

My opinion:

1 -> Never underestimate the Litecoin, just as China itself, the litecoin is a sleeping dragon;
2 -> If China wants to skyrocket LTC, they makes LTC skyrocket, and BTC's too;
3 -> If Bitcoin skyrockets to 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 dollars, Litecoin will follow;
4 -> If bitcoin skyrockets, people will MASSIVE trade bitcoins for litecoins (BTC to LTC), because when the bitcoin rises in price, Litecoin always rises more than bitcoin and the profit is fenomenal.

Just my opinion and sorry for my bad english.

Best regards from Brazil  :D

Cheers to all of you dear friends!  ;D

all four are correct
i personally love ltc and dash rest of coin are unsafe for me, ltc never let me down and he never will

No litecoin benefits shortly. First it rises and then it go down faster the bitcoin (like dogecoin and peercoin).
You should ask yourself, why invest in a coin which has no active development whatsoever?

If it works, it works.

Because Litecoin have liquidity, Pollak

Chineses loves litecoin (bitcoin and litecoin are controlled by chinese market, if you like or not)

Litecoin is on major chinese exchanges (like I said, Chinese people controls Bitcoin and Litecoin market)

Development? the only coin is Bitcoin, you can do 100000000000 developments, Bitcoin is the first and Will be the first

Litecoin hashate is stronger and have stability

But, to answer your question with only one line -> Chinese CONTROLS Bitcoin and Litecoin market and chinese LOVES litecoin

It's easy to understand, Chineses loves and end of the history

Bitcoin and Litecoin => The real cryptos

Other coins => Premined trash and chinese people does not care about them, so, if chinese does not like any cripto, development is a lose of time

Sorry for my bad english  ???

hence we invest in litecoin because of its active development  ;D

Some of the goals the developers for 2016 are as follows:

Increase our software coverage by releasing a new wallet for iOS devices (LoafWallet) and improve existing ones (Android and Electrum).
    
Release Litecoin Core 0.12 which will feature block pruning, memory usage optimization, Tor stream isolation support and Tor hidden service support, improved signature validation using libsecp256k1, network performance improvements and additions (like ZMQ notifications) and many other changes. This will be a major release.

Add support for version bits (BIP9) which allows rolling out multiple soft-forks at once instead of doing them sequentially. This will rapidly accelerate the roll out of new features.

Add support for relative lock-time using consensus-enforced sequence numbers. (BIP68 and BIP112)

Add support for Segregated Witness.

Change P2SH address prefix to prevent confusion between Litecoin and Bitcoin addresses. This will require a hard fork and we would like to include any other changes which require a hard fork at the same time.

Add support for cross-chain atomic transfers.

Create a Litecoin sidechain to try out new opcodes, confidential transactions and other innovations.
  
Add support for the Lightning network protocol.


Great active development :)

Only if BTC suddenly rise more than we expect we can see 5$ but 10 $ looks ridiculous to me..
Reality is LTC slowly declines. Prove me if i'm wrong.

Let's just wait and see in the next Bitcoin SkyRocket

What will happen!

LTC moon, everyone knows hahahahahhahahaha

Cry haters!  :-*

The dollar price of litecoin might rise in the future, but the price relative to bitcoin will drop if it is just a clone of bitcoin.

I don't know, but Doge topped over 120 satoshis today after trading for months in the 30-40's, so anything is possible I guess. Litecoin was pretty close to hitting $10 last year due to the pump, so I do not think $10 is that unrealistic of a prediction.

yup doge is on the rise but this doesn't mean that ltc will follow that rise, also lot of here have doge and ltc still on cryptsy and that may be big problem
if both coin are on the rise then image for those who have them on cryptsy (have small amount of ltc there still, but quite amount of doge)
i can withdraws them for more then a month i dont know what to do they even announce that some coin can be withdraw but no list of coin that can be withdraw
so this may be the case with risen price change maybe

But litecoin could reach $10 or more during a pump. But I am not sure if the price will last. It is just a clone of bitcoin at present.

because i am not that confident of the future of bitcoin i just bought some LTC. i think it is an easy and save way to split my gambling money between BTC and LTC.

offtopic: and ETH  ::)

This might happend but with current price only if btc goes to 1000 or something close to it

considering that price is variate in 370-380 range and ltc is 3.09-3.13 i could say that tltc will reach in halving time 10$ maybe little more but that will be it

Lost all faith in this shitcoin. Just dumped 11,500 LTC. Will never recover. Be happy if you have 2 weeks left to sell above $3.

I too think LTC will move with Bitcoin.  It has followed pretty closely the last 6 months and if it does it near the halving it should see $10

They have been overtaken by ethereum but I still believe litecoin is the silver of crypto currency,for the last two weeks there have a steady decline but we all know it also happens to bitcoin,when bitcoin rises ,I'm pretty sure litecoin will do the same,people from china loves these two crypto currency

I just can't believe LTC above 10$!
Maybe if China decides to pump it again, but no stady price rise or natural growth ..Forget it..
More chance has ETH or other..

Litecoin is a complete failure. Sub $2 before June 2016.

Thanks for the Cheap coins!

Kind of one of the reasons it isn't a shitcoin.  Market depth and stability.  Your 92 BTC worth of dump didn't even faze the market in the slightest.

i agree. i just don't see litecoin going that high out of nowhere.
there needs to be a huge pump like what chinese did last time, but even then i don't think litecoin can go as high as $10

if they decide they will do it but for now ltc is following btc on price and it will stay like that for some time

Btc price is on rise i have feeling that ltc will follow on this slow and steady

Don't see trhe litecoin at 10$.
Maybe 4$ in two months, that depends on the collaps of Ethereum.

i dont know for me it one of the easiest coin to make profit so predictable in anyway
i past few week in this small jump and down i made more then 25% more ltc on my account
i like LTC and mainly i agree with all fact that is on slowly death rate
for another 10 years maybe he will be on this so called second or silver place then some other coin will replace it but not now

Do you mean  the smart money used to invest in litecoin are being invested in Ethereum? The price of litecoin did not drop a lot since the rise of Ethereum.

Wrong prediction by me from last seem like brc is going up and ltc down

The price could increase after BTC  halving  surely.

if btc over $1000 then ltc should be over 10 but if it dont then i dont see it

It would be good so let's just hope for the best.

I doubt it. Litecoins are pretty much overtaken by Dogecoins atm. I don't see any signs that it's going to go back up again.

if bitcoin price over $1000 its will not automatically LTC will rise up i guess and i was never expect such it but could be the price will down more than currently

The mining of litecoin is controlled by very few miners. If they decides not to sell the mined coins and a whale can push up the price easily.

I think it will folow btc in pruce but in very small amount maybe 1.5$ change on btc 10 cents on ltc

Everything is possible! Ltc is always in the top 10 on exchanges.
 But i could bet on Dash is going to win.
ETH will fall in great dump..

litecoin will do just fine, will always been one of the top cryptos (if not become the top crypto), because its one of a very rare club; honest coin not made purely for the devs to profit.

also usability, which is pretty much why its my main reserve crypto.

you lose track of the about of shitcoin pushers that announce litecoin is dead, done, or adds nothing  ::) simply to pump their own shitcoin.

I don't know this coin have lot supporters but all of them are bagholders.
Maybe after halving of bock l mean ltc block, we could see some real price move..

This is far far away!
http://litecoinblockhalf.com/
For one year we could see 1 dollar again..more likely.

Litecoin follows Bitcoin. And Litecoin is leading, when looking at the charts.

For the past 6 months or so, both major coins (Bitcoin Gold and Litecoin Silver, the only 2 digital currencies that matter; everything else is shit), have barely moved.

When looking at 2013, the last major Crypto Rally, the percentage return on LTC investment was much better than Bitcoin. Litecoin was worth only a few cents at the beginning of 2013, and went up to $48 a piece, with a yearly average of around $15.

Last year, Litecoin saw another rally to around $8.60.

When Bitcoin halves this year, Litecoin will profit from it.

Gemini is considering adding Litecoin. Coinbase, the largest Bitcoin company in the world, has its dev. team lead by the inventor of Litecoin: Charles Lee (aka Coblee).

Litecoin is traded on all major Chinese exchanges.

If Litecoin was dead, it would not have been able to sustain $3-$4 a piece for so long. People are hoarding Litecoin like crazy. Anyone who denies this; that's your own choice.

You can either invest in an obvious scam: Ether --> a pump an dump scheme, IPO, unlimited supply, traded on 1 scam exchange and another exchange with major withdrawal issues, and not traded on any of the Chinese exchanges (who are leading the Crypto investment world). Or you can invest in the solid, 4+ year existing, highly traded/liquid Litecoin digital currency.

Are you going to be an incredible moron and buy Ether, or will you be a smart person and buy Litecoin?

ETH is scam without denying it, right now they pumping it dejavoo.
LTC is not scam it is good coin but m not convinced in great future.
I will wait between 1 and 2 dollars to jump in..

Litecoin is $3 while Ethereum is $5. Maybe it is time for Litecoin to catch up with the Ethereum. Ethereum is developed actively.

Litecoin currently is around 3$, do not think it can reach 10$ - Litecoin is not so popular.  ;)

Only demand will determine price. Bitcoin is there just for correlation.
Ether is popular because it is in the middle of pump and volume of trades creating  false picture of demand..

Ether volume is fake.

No way people are trading 60% of Bitcoin volume in Ether on barely known exchanges. Where is the news about Ether? Where is investment? Lol.

Where can i find IPO price of ETHER?
I remember same story was with you another coin, related with Josh Garza GAW Miners..And that was scam! And people have lost their money  :-\

It was like a few cent per ether I believe. Ether is big scam.

Cryptocurrency with IPO, traded on 2 shit exchanges/barely known exchanges (with OBVIOUS fake volume), endorsed via SPAM CAMPAIGN, endorsed by noobs on btctalk.org (http://btctalk.org) , etc. etc.

Hahaha. Litecoin --> true king of alts.

Do you think Poloniex and Kraken are not reputable exchanges? If the Bitstamp accepts Ethereum into its exchange, will you think it is a scam?

Bitstamp has become irrelevant.

The only exchanges that matter now are as follows:

Coinbase
BTC-e
OkCoin
BTC-China

All other exchanges are crap. Gemini still has a chance though.

King of alts could be second place on marketcap, for now is eth, but for how long?

It could be for very long if the Ethereum developers put out new functional programs and there are more apps on Ethereum.

Litecoin will be $50, $100 or $150 dollars each

Just the Chinese want this to happen, easy to understand!

Hmm i think Litecoin will follow Bitcoin, its look like that right now, so i don't think "if not bitcoin will raise" will Litecoin not reaise to, :)

If the price of bitcoin rises to $1000 this year, the litecoin price will rise to $10 or higher. Some people will buy it.

Bitcoin will see $1700-$2300 this year.
Meanings LTC will see at least $15 (taking into account LTC/BTC going down, but USD value will still go up. If, like 2013, LTC/BTC ratio goes up 5-6 times, it means USD value of LTC could reach at least $75 when BTC is at $1700).

I do not think the ratio of litecon/bitcoin will rise in long term. It is just a clone and controlled by very few miners.

ok noob

If there is news that the litecoin is taken over by a more competitent developer team and new feature is added, the price will be high.

In dollars we can see it for sure but in btc/ltc price we won't see it any time soon

I think the gap between the bitcoin and litecoin will increase even though the litecoin will rise in dollars.

I don't think Litecoin will rise to $10 or above, have given up on Litecoin long ago due to the low rates :(

Ok thanks for ur opinion

Litecoin is doomed.  Price will go to the toilet.  It is a useless coin with a lot of bagholders.

Says the Ether IPo/Scam coin promoter.

LTC has been around for 4+ years and is heavily traded on all major exchanges.

The only altcoin that does that.

What does ether or any other shitcoin has? Nothing!

Litecoin is the fourth (https://coinmarketcap.com/) cryptocurrency when it comes to market capitalization, so why would Litecoin be the likely candidate?

Some people could think while Bitcoin is gold then litecoin is silver. We have noticed that in Bitcoin's recent rise lately, litecoin has gone up with it. However it would have to take Bitcoin to maybe 700-800$ to even think about getting Litecoin near 10$

Nope, second.

Ripple = scam.

Ethereum = ipo/scam coin that is only traded on shed-exchange Poloniex and Kraken, the 2nd having major withdrawal issues.

The only 2 serious cryptocurrencies in that list are Bitcoin and Litecoin. The only 2 established, proven, high-liqiduity volume ones. All other is shit.

Ethereum is Bitcoin 2.0.

Litecoin bagholders in this thread need to know the truth.  Litecoin aimed low and failed.  "Silver to bitcoins gold" lol.

Only thing propping up value is bagholders.

When chinese people learn about ethereum litecoin value will plummet.

Ethereum bagholder spotted.

At least ethereum isn't a doomed cryptocurrency like shitty litecoin. Unlucky

The only problem with litecoin is that it lacks innovation. It is just a clone of the most popular coin.

it ha snothinfg to offer, it is most adopted litecoin, sothat is huge advantage, but other than that it is prety lame. im quite surprised, that with such hude community there is no more of development of features and ecosystem.

I think it is policy of the litcoin developers that they will not add any new features. It will be just a clone.

AS long as BTC is around so will be LTC and all other Alt's. Most all are dependant on one another. If BTC dies so does the rest of the world IMO.

I also think so. Litecoin is a pure clone so it will exist with the bitcoin. I am not sure its value will increase though.

Actually I'm pretty surprised Litecoin is still relevant. It should be so obsolete like Primecoin, Peercoin and other similar coins.
I wonder who speculates it? Maybe we'll see some actions by Bitcoin block-halving time.

Maybe it is backed by big manufacturers of the ASIC miner. They do not want it to die easily.

Litecoin is the greatest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

There is no debate possible about this. Anyone who questions the fact mentioned in the first sentence is either a troll, a scammer, a ponzi scheme promoter, a IPO-shit coin bagholder, or a criminal. Or a combination of two or more of those.

The statement in the first sentence is a fact based on Litecoin's historical performance, current performance, tied-to-btc-fact, huge mining and traders community, its presence on all major exchanges (with the exception of Coinbase), and the fact that its founder works for the world's largest Bitcoin company (Coinbase, Charlie Lee).

Don't even attempt to refute it, I will not buy whatever shit-coin you think is better anyway :).

LTC --> $20 & above this year.

Exactly what I was saying, alternate cryptocurrencies are very dependent on each other and if the big boy dies then so does the rest.

No LTC will not hit 10$ :) its will require BTC will hit like 800-1000$ first

one thing history shows us is the market makers don't take any notice of what the bitcointalk trolls say  ;)

LTC can hit 10$ in short term pump but without some sort of development like, for example ETH, it can not sustain it.

no LTC is dead

same nonsense, plenty of development going on with litecoin.

Litecoin will explode so hard. Everyone holding 1000 LTC or more will experience instant, hands-free orgasm when it does.
Those who dumped their LTC will feel something crawling up their arse. It will feel like they're being raped by a ghost, because that's exactly what it feel like when LTC haters are confronted with the huge fiat gains that LTC will provide to those loyal to it later this year. And with later this year, I mean **very soon**.

Can you give us some new features of litecoin which is different from bitcoin developed in the last two years?

Troll somewhere else.

It was a "genesis sale" (https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/25aero/for_the_benefit_of_ethereum_please_stop_calling/) according to Ethereum fans. Not an IPO, lol.

here's just some of the current 2016 development;

-Increase our software coverage by releasing a new wallet for iOS devices (LoafWallet) and improve existing ones (Android and Electrum).

-Release Litecoin Core 0.12 which will feature block pruning, memory usage optimization, Tor stream isolation support and Tor hidden service support, improved signature validation using libsecp256k1, network performance improvements and additions (like ZMQ notifications) and many other changes.

Whose to say BTC won't hit $800-$1,000 this year? There is a lot of 2016 left, and with big events like the halving, possible block size resolution, and more interest in general, anything could happen. Also, with LTC it doesn't always stay in lock-step with BTC, there was a pump last year that hit $8 so $10 is not out of the realm of possibilities.

If we can see some new development of the litecoin, with unique features, it will have no problem to hit $10.

Spot on!

I hope it rise but I wonder why it's price stable now while bitcoin is rising up so I think that is bad point and I don't know if etherum taking it's place

If the bitcoin price goes up to $2000 this year, the litecoin will be over $10 without problem. But I am not sure how long it will be above that level.

i honestly don't see any scenario in which litecoin can reach $10 and above. i love to see that as much as the next guy but the last time it was pumped massively by Chinese and they couldn't get it that high.

I have good feeling about lite coin . I think it'll go between 12-15 USD this year .

The last time LTC was pumped, it went from around $1 to almost $9, or 900% increase.

If Litecoin makes only 500% increase from this point (around $3.50), it could reach $17.50.

If it makes the same rise as last time, it will be $31.50.

This have much sense!
I do not see any obstacles why this coin (with lot of support and nice hashrate)
would not see pump at some point? Just because many neglect LTC (and follow scam coins),
 i will stay here and collect some more LTCs.
Good luck with ETH.

In old times, litecoin is the main altcoin. It is not any more. There are Ethereum, Dash and Monero now. So the rise could be lower.

Close to breakout

I just wish you are right.

If that so happens I'll be pretty happy to sell some LTC I'm holding

http://i66.tinypic.com/1g1278.png
Bulls are lining up for the parade

LTC/CNY
http://i67.tinypic.com/21ltmo8.png

litecoins not an altcoin, it complementary to bitcoin not an alternative.

Ripple was cool in 2013.

Have there been any innovative updates since that time?

Litecoin is over guys.

What are you guys still doing messing with this?
 
It is not the future. There are some really promising coins out there right now.

Move on to the next chapter, there is much more to this book than chapter 2.

Think about it.

If you're a bagholder, cut your losses, its not going up, so get as much as  youcan now, and take the money and out it in one of the up and coming coins, and get back the money you lost on Litecoin.

You're not going to get it back from Litecoin, that is a definite.

Exactly.  Litecoin aimed low and failed.

Stoat --> big fat troll.

Says the person who starts self moderated threads trying to FUD one of the biggest altcoin exchanges.

Litecoin is the worst thing to ever happen to crypto.  Litecoin caused the flood of copy paste shitcoins that set crypto back by years.  Luckily people are starting to realise the truth about litecoin.

Just a thought; but, anyone can make their own coin with the Ethereum platform. They make it sound easy. See point four at their website.

https://www.ethereum.org/

No, litecoin will never hit 10$ again unless bitcoin hit $2000

Yes anyone is free to make their own token on the ethereum blockchain. It makes all shitcoins obsolete.

What the hell? so thanks to ethereum all shitcoins are obsolete (whatever you mean by that) because any random person "is free" to create their own worthless token.

As if there wouldn't be hundreds of shitcoins around today if it weren't for Litecoin. Could you explain exactly how Litecoin delayed anything worthwhile (like CryptoNote) for years?
All the stupid shit Ethereum fans and spammers have said about Litecoin is only a good sign for it.

Nope. it will soon rise you'll see just when the Chinese move their wealth to LTC. BTC however won't go $2K thats not possible, we lal know people are going to sell thier coins when it reaches 1k and so the price shall plummet/.

Yeah and its not going to happen this year. maybe 2 to 4 years.

The Ethereum has just reached $10. So if litecoin is innovative, and not just a clone of bitcoin, it will be $10.

title should be changed to:

Litecoin will see 1$ and below 2016

xD

Yeah those days are well post for Litecoin.

Lol litecoin is dead. It's been dead for a year now. How can you still hope it will gonna revive.
Reach 30 dollars? Nope. It's not an option. Not even if you are a messias for Litecoin. Everybody knows this by now.

Litecoin used to be the number 1 altcoin. But its position has been replaced by Ethereum. I think the price of litecoin might not each $10 this year.

Respect to Litecoin for being the real first successful alt to Bitcoin. However, Ethereum has blown Litecoin away with real world companies helping to expand the ecosystem. Litecoin to $1-1.50 by the end of the year.

Destiny will grow up like ethereum :D Watch it

Litecoin is one of the great altcoin substitute for exchange against bitcoin. Lets hope Litecoin will gain more value for exchange against other altcoins and local currency.

litecoin's not an alt to bitcoin but anyways, the whole point of crypto is an alternative to the banks, eth is designed to be a corporate puppy dog so has little reference to the p2p currency scene, and will have 10 minutes of fame then fade.

people buy eth for the pump going to need lots of popcorn for when newtons law kicks in  ;)

litecoin remains a core crypto as always, will see it higher again soon enough.

Well we can only hope for it dont we im just hopping for price to around 10$

People buying and/or promoting Ether over Litecoin have very, very tiny brains.

Ether is bust! All promises will be broken. Bitbay actually has done everything ether are promising practically. But because people only buy on hype nobody is interested!!

Ethereum has just released the stable version, the Homestead. It will be developed further in the future.

me personally don't like ethereum and like more ltc or some other coin here on forum opinions are devided

I am not sold on Ether, but why litecoin?

It really offers very little that bitcoin doesn't, the new Alts, or even the old ones like Primecoin or Peercoin, are/were innovative.
If someone released litecoin in 2014 or 2015, it would just be another crappy alt, but as it is older it has some respect from many of the community.

I just don't see why!

Because litecoin has a base and other bitcoin clones dont. I persoanally use litecoin to buy my daily coffee and as long as their are others like me out there using litecoin as a currency it wont die.

litecoin was designed by coblee to not make the mistakes of all the previous alts, being an alt created not to make the devs money (without that cryptos are no better then greedy banker controlled fiat). trust is crucial in any currency and few could argue litecoin as being the cleanest alt currency yet. 

litecoin shouldn't even be $1 anymore - other altcoins are far more advanced

Nice first post. Solid supporting evidence.  ::)

yes because altcoins are completely valued on how "advanced" they are. I can buy coffee with litecoin. I cant say the same about etherum.

"Hide biggest coin"

Litecoin is dead. Resurrection, how timely.

I'm waiting...

Maybe it will actually hit 10 bucks sometime, but not in 2016. If it does, it would be because Bitoin has pumped beyond 3k.

Yes, Lightcoin is dead. (http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/lightcoin/)

As dead as April Fool's Day 2016 by GMT. ;)

It is really dead a long time ago April Fool's Day or not.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=649890.0

Definitely not dead because:

• Capable of four times as many transactions as Bitcoin in a ten minute period. Frankly if payment processors had adopted Litecoin in the past year current Bitcoin block discussions would be irrelevant (and likely the price of both coins higher). Anyone who has watched these discussions understands the immediate advantage of a network with larger transactional capability.  
• Faster confirmation times. The only people who don't think this is important have never spent a single coin or they have patience that the average person does not possess.
• The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks.
• Anti-spam.
• Fast well established network. Current Hashrate is 1,643 GH/s. Since scrypt is memory intensive it is known to be approximately 1000 times slower hardware wise in comparison to SHA256. Fair comparison to the Bitcoin network requires multiplying that hashrate by 1000 (1,643 TH/s). The fact is for most of Litecoins history the hashrate has been relatively high and secure. Those comparing it to the Bitcoin network without considering this 1k factor are either being disingenuous or just ignorant of the facts.
• Continuous development look here at number of releases in past year: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/releases
• Upcoming new features and active development look here for whats happening in 2016:
  https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/3z2ta1/ama_official_litecoin_developers_and_litecoin/
• Longevity. Many coins have temporarily eclipsed litecoin as they were marketed for the purpose of increasing the fiat accounts of a small group and emptying the accounts of new users. Unfortunately this has been detrimental to crypto-space in general.
  
• Great community.
• Fully supported by GoCoin a growing payment processor used by thousands of merchants https://www.gocoin.com/
• Liquidity. You can sell thousands and not crash the market. Maintains value.

probably need to change the name from Litecoin to Dimcoin

That is very good summary. But litecoin development follows bitcoin, there is not much new in the releases.

Litecoin is bitcoins underdog, when btc rises so will ltc

Like always i hope to be like that and this time when btc halving comes i sure hopeit will be

It has always been like that... For past 7-8 months, Litecoin and Bitcoin have performed similarly.

Yes, Bitcoin went to $400 and LTC didn't follow that rally, and stayed between $3-$4, but before the Bitcoin rally to $400, LTC rallied to $9, and was $1,3 prior to that. So, when LTC levelled out at $4, it was up around 250-300% compared to several months earlier, which meant the ''fuel'' for LTC was up when BTC rallied from $250 to $400. But since they rallied 7-8 months ago, they have performed similarly, just like old times, ever since.

You could argue the same for Bitcoin! If all other altcoins would exist already, and someone would "invent" a chain with much higher fees, slower confirmations, and (almost) centralized miners now, who would buy it?

Hmm,

Last I heard this had to happen 1st,

http://calvinayre.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/hell-freezes-over.jpg

But soon after Litecoin would be $10 and higher.  :D

 8)

yes litecoin is dead that why we still keep them in our wallets?  ;D keep in mind that there are more merchants accepting litecoin than the hyped coins ETH.
Not much changed still since. Litecoin is still the 2nd used coin even when eth and ripples marketcap is way over them.

LTC trade volume is also 2nd highest; http://cryptocoincharts.info/coins/graphicalComparison

Sometimes higher than BTC.

YEs, some argue that Chiense might fake their volume. But it is not fake. The reason it is so high, is because there are no fees for LTC/CYN and BTC/CYN trades. However, the thing that matters is, the fact that your orders get FILLED if you want to sell or buy, and that's all that matters.

And the reason, I suppose, they removed trade limits for Chinese customers, is ebcause the majority of Litecoin and Bitcoin miners are from China. By removing trading fees, they attract the majority of those customers, resulting in incredible volume. They make their money when their customers withdraw their coins (either to their own wallets, or sell for fiat).

This is true that we can't forget that Litecoin is still the 2nd most used coin.  It is a conservative investment and won't get you big gains unless it decides to move with Bitcoin when it rises.

i think litecoin was the first after bitcoin which was minable with GPU cause of which it got very high trading volume which is hard to beat but slow and steady other coins will beat it. It is not dead but just another alt coin the 2nd child you could say. But there are many more innovtive coins out there with very high potential .

we can only speculate but there are always two scenarios first is to follow btc in price which is good other is bad one to stay how it is

I thought Ethereum is the second most used coins now. The block chain size is already over 10 GB now.

Yeah, and it's been remarkably stable in price - remarkably, given the recent frenzy. It stays around three bucks and there you go. :)

People are blinded by greed and they investing in scams. They don't like LTC because it is stable and it is very good secure and fast coin. But this is not important ,and market cap is not something they are worried about, only profit And that is why they don't like LTC because it is still stronger and better and they want to crush competition.

The main problem with litecoin is that it is not very innovative. It is just a clone of bitcoin. We already have Dash, Monero and Ethereum, they are all different from bitcoin.

litecoin if you followed is far more developed then any of those others you mentioned. litecoin works great, better and smoother then bitcoin, and is certainly trusted more then the stuff you mentioned, tis currency trust is singularly more important then any bells and whistles that people try and lable 'innovation'.

The stability is admirable, but I'm still not convinced LTC has real legs, but I'm more wrong lately (I never thought ETH @ 1bil in a bazillion years)

Stability can be good. I remember when everyone was complaining Bitcoin would never go anywhere because it wasn't stable enough to be used as a currency. Well now both BTC and LTC have been fairly stable and now all of a sudden they are dead...

haha, good points. although people saying stability is good and those who call it dead and want volatility are two different groups of people

the traders and those who are just interested in fiat, want to to get in and get out quickly and take the cash and run. so they don't care what bitcoin or any altcoin is all about and what can be done with them.

the rest want stability for more adoption and ease of mind that your money is safe and your buying power don't change with volatile price each day.

Many member are posting here about LTC without any knowledge about it. First of all LTC is strong and stable coin which is not the case with any ICO here. If i see ETH at this price and next year i will give my support..But this is very far away, and probably many already thinking to dump it and join LISK if possible.

perfectly said no doubt the truth everyone wants the get rich quick it like gambling

I dont even have any idea what LISK is. Says enough that the shit coins are only known to those looking to gamble / pump-dump coins that relate to them.

I'm following those coins from time to time and majority of them have very short life time, and after PnD only place where are they going is oblivion. Many people actually don't realise, that those stories are created only for BTC takeover and nothing more. In many cases behind those projects standing PnD  groups, already known fact here.

That could be true. The litecoin is owned by very few people or the miners. These miners own lots of ASIC.

Most of new coin are like that so sometimes this kind of gable may be good and sometimes is bad
Anyway ist for you/me to decide that

LISK has the similar concept to Etheruem. But it is programed with another language. So it might take off.

It is difficult to say. So far in the digital currency world, there is no clone having succeeding in getting to the top.

Haha. No. It will see $2 and below in 2016. Mark my words :)

dont be so sure ltc was to many times said that it will go below and that will die
and every time he survive, dont expect that something that major holders are chinese will just die

If four years of history have taught us anything it is that litecoin is not dying. People have declared litecoin dead so many times and it always survives. Price might go down in short term but in long term ltc is still there. Much better than pump and dump shit coins which seem to have become the norm nowadays.

Litecoin falls from $48 to $30 - Litecoin is dead

Litecoin falls from $30 to $20 - Litecoin is dead

Litecoin falls from $20 to $10 - Litecoin is dead

Litecoin falls from $10 to $1.45 - Litecoin is dead

Litecoin increases from $1.45 to $2 - Litecoin is dead

Litecoin increases from $2 to 3.20 - Litecoin is dead

Litecoin increases from $3.20 to $3.75 - Litecoin is dead

Someone should create a site for litecoin where it keeps track of how many times it has died lol.

The litecoin is around 4 dollar at the moment. It is very possible for the price to rise to over $10 if the bitcoin price also rises.

Its very possible for the price to rise even if Bitcoin doesnt.

meant to be new roadmap launched soon

Agree, but Litecoin need some unbelievably great news to make it happen.

new scrypt miners soon )

lite was only for a speculation with nothing new, hyped twice that`s all. thanks to litecoin another coins are called shitcoins

dont be so said
Lite is one of good coins on market and some alt are on the rise
ltc got up from start of this year and he will continue to rise in this one will it reach this amount its probable

The coin is no longer with us. RIP in peace, Litecoin.

yeah, 10 USD is not unrealistic this or next year. bitcoins little brother will always be here  ;)

http://up.picr.de/24157396fw.jpg

https://forum.bitcoin.com/post683.html#p683

If anyone is any doubt litecoinguy just posted up a graph that is 2 years out of date trying to back up a target price that's moved from 2016 now into 2017.

Nice collection of charts!

this coin is not dead yet
price is low realistic for this coin but this one is easy to predict in prices when to buy and when to sell
this coin never let me down so far

litecoin is the second best coin around. thats the truth.

And many of us share this opinion of yours. Many new coins comes and go, but LTC is always here and it is still very strong. I don't like projections but im sure that LTC have very bright future!

There is little difference between litecoin and bitcoin. So if you like litecoin, you also should own bitcoin.

Even if it's a old graph, I have to agree with that. Just compare both graphs of LTC and BTC since the beginning, they have always moved the same direction and they still do. Evenmore in days of big volatility for btc.

Edit: Had a look at https://forum.bitcoin.com/post683.html#p683, nice work !!!

ltc price will rise in the next month I believe

This might happen this year for sure dont think this month will take much but think that next will be for much bigger rise

watch it move upward already.

Litecoin is a shitty joke coin . Wont ever rise above $5. Will always remain floating between $0 and $5.

You have absolutly no credibility ... I still don't know why you do that?

When there is a big wave of cryptocurrency bull market, the lite coin price could rise above $10 range.

DING DING DING  :D

exactly, the price rose once again, but dont fool yourself, imo it has nothing to do with "real" value of it. The way i see it its rising just because bitcoin
is rising (the more fiat there is entering crypto, a portion of it goes to ltc).
i wouldnt be surprised if this trend continues, but at some point, it will tumble down like it always does, when people realise it really isnt worth that much.

Once again, Litecoin's bucking the bearish trend. It's the only major coin on Polo showing green for its 24hr change and it's up to $4.50 in fiat terms.

Very far away from $10 and avove, but it must be pleasing to Litecoin fans. :)

Inflation big picture.

Year	Dogecoin	Bitcoin	Litecoin
2015	5.26%	10%	33.33%
2016	5%	9.09%	12.5%
2017	4.76%	4.1%	11.11%
2018	4.54%	4%	10%
2019	4.35%	3.85%	9.09%
2020	4.2%	3.7%	4.1%

Why dogecoin  ??? ??? ::) :P

why what? what are you asking?

With capital controls and devaluation coming out of China, the top two legit cryptos still have plenty of room for growth. And traditionally, ltc follows btc and then some during bull rallies - not to mention a halving looming for big daddy.

I've diversified some of my BTCs to LTCs. No apparent reason. LTC gives me the stabilizing feeling. lol

LTC is up to 3 quid.

Any reason behind this rise?

Post 347 just told ya, son. This is the season where you want to own a certain stack of LTC and I've been saying this for the last few months at minimum. Now scroll back on the pricing in usd and in terms of BTC. Capiche?

We just have to benchmark it to BTC.
For a long time, it hovered around 0.01 BTC before crashing. Now it seems to be getting there again.

Gemini is considering adding Litecoin. Coinbase, the largest Bitcoin company in the world, has its dev. team lead by the inventor of Litecoin: Charles Lee.
People are hoarding Litecoin like crazy. Anyone who denies this; that's your own choice.

The litecoin price is rising steadily, almost in line with the bitcoin. So there is a possibility that it will be $10 this year.

i expect that to in past ltc always followed btc in everything so i have high hope for this i dont think we can see new high for ltc but some good price we might expect from this

Anyone can tell me what is the LTC mining price if electricity costs USD 0.11/Kw ?

I use this it is pretty close (3 titans 1 orig (ouch) 2 used)

www.litecoinpool.org/calc (http://www.litecoinpool.org/calc) *you don't have to be part of the pool use the calculator link*

I've also used litcoinpool.org (http://litcoinpool.org) since November 2014 with original Titan....no fees and pays at 103% on top of that.

An example

a 350 mh Titan at say (WITH 3rd party Tarky Titan energy saving firmware) of 1,250 watts..(ie most titans would be less then FULL out at this 350mh speed but lets say you are lucky)
and this is at the current (now) LTC rate of  $4.60 usd

at 11c kwh you would get the below from the above calculator link again with above info

30 days   109.93930664 LTC   505.72 USD Total        99.00 USD   Electric Costs  406.72 USD Profit after electric


as an example (my Titan units) at 14c kwh and 1,000mh at $4.60 per usd and 4100 watts I get


30 days   314.11230469 LTC   1444.92 USD Total       413.28 USD Electric Costs          1,031.64 USD Profit after electric


as you can see my 14c kwh price for electric is high...so I'm always confused when I see folk selling their Titans. (Then again that was a couple weeks ago not seeing a lot of sales now)


anyway I'd guess folk in Oregon (3c kwh) and Texas (4c kwh) are just "killing' on these units...my strategy is to keep them running till this winter for heat (heated 85% of house last year on 630mh) and also the electric rate goes down from 14c kwh to 10c kwh....was kinda wondering if that would work....again...into the Winter of 2017...but at these prices ...looks good...in gas (budgeted at 12 month)  and the 14c to 10c kwh electric reduction (6 months) I tripped over with the utility..(xcel) that is 1,280 bucks savings a year....only angle I have with keeping those units here and not selling them to those guys in Oregon (3c kwh) and Texas (4ckwh) folk....is the reduction in electric costs for 6 months and Winter almost free heat :)

anyway enjoy the calculator :)

I dont think that will happen, litecoin is in big struggling and the popularity keep on decresing, many people said that litecoin wont last long again, so i think you better find other currency to invest

ltc is joke coin, the title of this thread is funny because its a fantasy
coblee is sell out he dumped everything last year when it rose to 8 lol (good for him though)

Seems like the most populous nation on Earth thinks otherwise:-

Litecoin Is Far More Popular Among CNY Traders Than Ethereum (http://themerkle.com/litecoin-is-far-more-popular-among-cny-traders-than-ethereum)

Whereas the markets don't. ETH is just expanding into CNY. LTC has been the worst shitcoinage for at least 2 years now.

Looks like litecoin has a great future because of price increase these month and i think it will increase more..
I'm still holding few litecoins earning from faucet before and now its a little bit high and made even a few profit.. im still waiting for big pump of this coin..

i dont see that happening... btc just had a big pump and ltc is already back to 850k-, if bitcoin retrace to 480~500USD imagine what will happen to ltc.

I've already sold all ltc.. made some profit and moved on.

You should have wait. Chinese they say will pump it. They like litecoin.

LTC dominance in China isn't surprising given that it isn't regarded as an altcoin there. In fact, the Western obsession with Bitcoin Maximalism and Satoshi Nakamoto is met with confused derision: "Litecoin is technically superior and takes Satoshi out of the equation... therefore it is the greater currency."

Lies ^^. LTC is on life support as we speak.

The LTC network difficulty is set to take a -18% change in 2 days.

Somebody big (KNC ?) just turned off some machines.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficulty

Yeah. I'm utterly befuddled by all this difficulty drop for ltc myself. Perhaps all Titans have an end of life date from purchase date and are in order bricking themselves. Hmmmm it is KNC and they are the Mordor of ASIC companies.

Hmmmm

If ltc follows btc in price and he always do then yes it can be done
On other hand it can stay like he is now but i dont thinkmit will be the case

Problems with cryptocurrency start reveal itself, when price going down in the result of decreased hash rate, but LTC price is stable for now...so nothing terrible happened :)

Litecoin is still one of the oldest altcoin, it has many strong supporters and good community, so the price could be maintained.

pump may happen if like last btc halving was ltc follow btc in price and i sure hope it will be then price can easily go above 10$
dont think that ltc will go so high like last time but above 10$ can be achieved

The price of litecoin could rise in the future. But there percentage as of the bitcoin price might drop.

In long term, if the price of Ethereum in terms of bitcoin is maintained between 0.05 to 0.1, that is great achievement.

Litecoin will opt for a on-chain adaptive block size scaling solution

then I hope we can talk about litecoin being real silver and helping BTC kill ethereum scam plot :)

In the past BTC-LTC value was intrinsically related(expressed in satoshies),  ie if the first was suffering an increase  the second too, Now the conditions are a little different by the fact that there are more competitors, However It could still continue that trend but perhaps with less difference than before.

The litecoin is too similar to the bitcoin. Other coins have some unique features. For example, the Dash and Monero are anonymous.

Litecoin only Chinese people are playing
If Litecoin will see 10$
Thanks Chinese.

Yes, most trading volume produced by chinese traders and last pump summer of 2015 makes almost impossible technical analysis for ltc/usd

With Bitcoin Lightning Network with the smart contracts and sidechains eventually being adapted, there's just no need for Litecoin. 

Great community - says every community
Full supported by GoCoin - Bitcoin being supported by bigger providers
Liquidity - Bitcoin
Longevity - Yes, Litecoin has managed to stay around for years and still have far less recognition than Ethereum
Coinbase - About time, Ethereum already beat it to the punch
Upcoming release - Compared to what's rolling out for Bitcoin and Ethereum, not impressed
Speed - Ethereum is already world's quicker, Bitcoin is heading towards lightning

Litecoin has made people a lot of money, I don't deny that.  I expect Litecoin to drop a notch or two in the next 4-6 months on coinmarketcap.

Litecoin is old fashion now. The new trend is ICO's and smart contracts. I don't think LTC will go higher than these prices. They don't offer anything new at all. There's no development, no new projects.

The only reason ICO is popular is due ethereum, we might play stupid just to earn a few $$$, but be honest?
Does anyone believe any ICO coin is distributed fairly and decentralized? NOPE

sure now is time for a ICO hype, who gona guess when it gona blow up? week, month or two... no more for sure

Litecoin will not see $10 and above in 2016.

If lucky, it will still be worth between $3-$4 by the year's end. Mark my words.

Good thing so I still have chance to buy some more before we see $10 and above in 2017.  :)

LTC could go above 10$ only if BTC could go above 1000$. Those 2 seem to go hand in hand together when they rise. Looking at the chart right now, it's current rise vs USD still looks good. 

So case in point, if BTC rises, also check LTC. It usually rises together with its big brother. :)

yes they are major holder and they control price but best scenario for ltc is to follow btc in price and for now he is on right track but not how i was intended to be was hopping to see price change on btc 100$ and 2 dollars ion ltc but he is close to 5$ now

Litecoin, the old reliable! no development? no new projects? hahahaha you need to learn more my friend, because you are talking sh*t, lot's of new projects coming.

New Trend, Ico's???? pump and dump ponzi scheme scam coins like Lisk and Ethereum???? hahahahahhaha

With development, with new projects, without development, without projects, litecoin is running and working with no problems, old and reliable, that's important

Yes my friend, check bitcoinwisdon (https://bitcoinwisdom.com/), chinese people are playing BTC and LTC, without chinese playing BTC and LTC and other cryptos => THE END OF CRYPTOS

well if bitcoin reach 1k then it is easy for litecoin to be at 10 you know, just amatter of a 10% increase

so don't be fooled by its value in $, the real value should always be in bitcoin, for any altcoin out there

I'd prefer to invest to LTC actually its stable enough and has the higher chance that it could grow.
Once The Chinese are going to pump LTC, those who look down LTC most probably will regret for not buying.

really, why measure the value of any cryptocurrency in obsolete dollars?
Bitcoin is the only true indicator of value in the world of digital currencies. so the question must be differently "Will ltc price ever reach 0.03+btc?"

Yeah, fiat currency is constantly depreciating in value and nothing should in my opinion be measured in terms of USD or any other major currencies out there. BTC is a much more fair measure and store of value.

Litecoin could definitely see over $10, however whether it be the push that litecoin needs to get public attention again or not, I personally have no faith in the litecoin project.

Then stop measuring BTC in terms of USD value. Start treating 1 BTC = 1 BTC.

And LTC will always be there for good reason. What if BTC actually starts failing. Where do you think people would transfer to? Def not Ethereum. LTC is far more the safer option.

One coin with one dev team is a complete and utter disaster waiting to happen. Imagine the crazy idea that bitcoins dev team come under the control of big banks and they decide to turn it into a high fee settlement layer with off chain scaling. Then we would all be glad there's a similar alternative that's chosen on chain scaling as Satoshi intended - litecoin - "silver to bitcoins gold" "more Bitcoin than Bitcoin"

Not possible to disassociate BTC with USD. There has to be a reference point so an item could be swapped with BTC to get BTC. It is barter trade in a sense.

I think LTC will always have the potential to pump when least expected, but personally I would buy ETH to dump it for more BTC if I wanted to speculate on future pumps.

eth is on hold now and ltc has potential to follow great btc when price pump comes  (If comes)
i hope for rise and follow ltc on btc and hope i will come to end like last btc halving

I remember reading somewhere that the core Litecoin dev is a one of those key persons in Google. I believe we are betting on Litecoin because of his connections to tech bigwigs?

Litecoin looks like a lost cause to me

Chineses will control the next BTC and LTC pump, like "always"

If Chinese friends wants to pump LTC to $50, they will

I think next BTC bubble will reach 1800+ dollars, and Chinese friends will pump LTC to $50 or more... Let's see what chinese "wants"

If they want to pump LTC to 50$ they will, if they want to pump LTC to $100 they will

Chinese rules the market, if you like or not

The good think -> CHINESE GUYS LOVEEEEEEEES LITECOIN, hahahahahha LTC and BTC are the future, the rest are only pump and dump scam coins to make some whales rich fast like a rain, see the history

Yes, The Chinese are they  entertained with BTC and ETH but surely they  will return to pump LTC as in the past in some point.

i am going to sell all my LTC @5.5$.
i think the price will go down after this peak. or i hope that it will be like that.

Hahaha, LTC $10 and above. Good joke. Did you make it up yourself?
Will be a miracle to see LTC at $3 by end of this year. This is obviously a scammy pump. Will dump hard before it reaches $6.

My advise to ya'll is to sell. This is a dying coin.

Please don't hate LTC because you sold too early.

this is only good alt coin i must say
this coin never let me down so he wont this time 2
also for now he is over 5 is he is following btc in price so if btc comes over 1000 price will be for ltc over 10 so OP made good assumption

Litecoin bagholders in this thread are smiling now :) This will also benefit the Chinese who tends to hold LTCs

This guy is a ltc bagholder thinking he can get cheaper coins by spamming stuff he doesn't truly believe as an attempt the move the market.  These petty comments don't actually work, do they?

Hahaha, how is that sub 0.008 btc/ltc working out for you, noobies? :)

Could be pretty good depending on your view point.  ;)

It could definitely achieve that price, but it needs to have the bitcoin price to go up a lot. Litecoin is unlikely to appreciate over BTC, rather, it's going to rely on BTC rising faster against USD than it declines against BTC.


Well, you made the right decision to dump when you did, huh :)

Price went down in btc/ltc but whent up in dollar range
This mightbe good cuz i think it will be jump for ltc in next period

Litecoin 10$? only if chine wants it. ::)

.0075 LTC/BTC is a really good entry point imo.. the odds that we see ~.02ish in the near future is good. When btc bubbles ltc bubbles higher.. thanks china  ;D

Are you crazy? ETH is a pre-mined pump and dump scam coin

Invest in BTC and LTC, the only real cryptos

it seems to me that now is a great time to pump for ltc, btc is on the rise and it's time to pump ltc for cache out at reasonable price.
yes i don't believe any more in ltc >:(

It is premined with 72 million coins. But it also has PoW, it is profitalbe to GPU mine it, that is the reason it is so popular.

Litcoin 0.007 a long ago that I don't see this price. :o

Sure but like mentioned btc and ltc are prime ones rest jyst follow and are populat for the moment

Haha, coin only going down :D

GLad I unloaded my remaining bag of liteshit when it hit 0.009 not that long ago.

Soon sub 0.005 ltc. Nothing will shave this shitcoin anymore. Nice knowing ya, LOL!

if LTC price goes down, its an opportunity to buy some, isn't it? :)

bingo

I am still undecided to go in at what price. :( Damn....

Have fun dumping your money into this money eating machine lol

LTC will see 0.002 btc this year, possible $2.

Litecoin fanatics have an interesting way to look at things.

Price goes up? Told you, Litecoin is Bitcoin's silver
Price goes down? Great time to buy

As long as you are happy, who care about the profit. :)

Obviously the greater market doesn't care about the fanatics yelling 'pre-mine' this and 'pump and dump' that.  I have a feeling the Eth market cap isn't as nearly vulnerable to kids yelling pump in dump in a forum than no market cap coins.  Just admit you missed out and move on, we all make bad investments.

Profit? Check out the mining difficulty. Its been bouncing between 40k and 50k for about 18 months now. Price has also been stable and always on the positive side of things.
The $400+ I make in profit a month does make me happy.

I will say that the price being so stable isnt good for day traders - but Im no trader so that doesnt hurt me any.

With Ether dying as we speak, Litecoin will most likely see $20 this year.

BUY NOW

The Ethereum price is still over $10. There is a voting about the soft fork now. If there is a soft fork, but there is no hard fork, the number of Ethereum will be reduced by 3.6 million, it is good for existing coin values.

hello, just wanna know what is your basis that will happen if btc become 1000$, 
because if that so surely its a good news for us. :)

When the number of users increase, the price will also rise. This has happen in the past, it might also happen in the future.

dump your litecoins, last chance before drop to $3  :D

LOL.....okay I've decided you're actually the most bored person in the world. I'm going to recommend a day at the beach (drink something cold).

Where is the Pump lol.......

Something is coming considering that on Chinese market current gap is 2,134,971,682 (on OKcoin exchange)
Will this men that they are buying so much cheap and that they will increase value in next period

You can't seem to make up your mind :D

It would also prove that Smart Contracts are worthless and you can't trust Ethereum if you have a lot and a central power doesn't like it. One way or another it doesn't make sense Ethereum goes up in value. And when it drops, the established coins (mostly Bitcoin but Litecoin moves with it) go up.

I hope that RISE rise.  ;D

I think litecoin have a chance to go higher this year. Litecoin have a stabile price for long time, its time to rise. I always wonder which coin will follow btc rise, there is a lot of space behind btc for some alt coin.
Just one thing, I don't hear new things about ltc, long time ago I saw something and that is it.
Maybe after big silence, litecoin can make some big rise.

LTC is still very strong and fast coin. I'm using in more frequently than , because i can do my transaction even more faster and i can earn to..But this is not important at all, it is obivious that LTC will have ANOTHER ONE ! Maybe even better pump..
Acumulation is ON!  ;)

U ve just said that u r using Litecoin frequently, right?

well - what do u use it for if i may ask that ?

~CfA~

Ltc is still in use on okcoin they buy ltc like crazy
Will it be good to invest on this or just wait for something to happen

Litecoin is the future guys. LTC is a long term hold for me. Can see LTC exceeding $10 and beyond in 2017.

should have listened to me when i said sell your ltc earlier

it is almost sub $4 now

where are the ltc tards shyliar and mage promoting their shitcoin with their delusional $6 ltc within 50 year predictions now  ;D :D

Till this drop my preoccupation was LTC as BTC transfer method. Price between exchanges vary so you can transfer your bitcoins without paying high fee for fast transactions(Buy ltc and sell it on another exchange for better price).This way you can even ern small amounts of btc. I had wrote about that earlier.

---

Now you can use this oportunity  and buy as much as you can..
This is just small dump after small pump..next is big pump..then..

I'm assuming that you are sarcastic, else your account is hacked.. ;D

Watching ltc price dump. Er $10 bucks is the other way. <<<<== sheesh!

Well 1/3 of ltc has gone 'poof' 😳 of my hoard. Damn.

Drama always Drama

Litecoin will NEVER see $10 again. Why dont people learn.

Litecoin is an absolute SHIT COIN.

Its features, the roadmap, its stability, its longevity etc. DONT FUCKING MATTER.

The only thing that matter is that its a TOXIC unpredictable SHIT COIN for Chinese gamblers.

I am 110% confident it wont even see $6 within the next 24 months.

Litecoin is only good to make quick profits. But the majority of LTC promoters are BAGHOLDERS who will never realise this.

These faggots are crying their eyes out RIGHT NOW because they thought LTC would ''moon''. LOL.

Charlie Lee, the creator, is jerking off to his new USD precious fiat gains RIGHT NOW because his brother's exchange, and the other Chinese exchanges which are in on it together with Charles, just made MILLIONS because of LTC fags.

Litecoin sub $3 before this week's end. LOL.

If you have even 1/5th of a 3-day old's underdeveloped, fragile brains, you should be SELLING your shitcoins (aka Litecoin) right now before the MEGA DUMP.

The mother of all LTC DUMPS has yet to come.

I think it's too risky to buy Litecoin at this time. New crypto-currencies offer something new but Litecoin doesn't even have any upgrades and new offerings.  It's pure speculation but I don't think it'll go over 10$ again, ever.

Upgrades and offerings are irrelevant to what makes a good currency.  Is the US Dollar or Euro a bad currency because it doesn't have any upgrades or new offerings? 

The title of this thread will probably be a self-fulfilling prophecy as the global economy tanks going into the second half of this year.

Watching the entire show to include all cryptos, fiat, and PMs, with lots of popcorn (non GMO).

What happen with a lite coin, for now, it is not worthwhile. You just waste your funds if want to invest on the lite coin. another crypto has a great future rather than LTC.

Whats your view with the future of crypto prices? Will it tank along with global economy ( shares, bonds & commodities)?

Is it pre dump before pump ?

Does not matter my friend, LTC does not needs something new, it's working fine, strong coin, reliable, stable, etc.

New coins with with upgrades like you are saying, we have tons of, check on www.coinmarketcap.com, new coins, new upgrades, bla bla bla, big shit brother, all useless coins...

Litecoin and Bitcoin is like USD and Euro, just working FINE with our without upgrades

If you want upgrades, buy pre-mined shitcoins like Ethereum, Lisk, etc.

Litecoin and Bitcoin are working fine, its what matter, thanks to ask

Sub $3 within 4 days. Get out now!

The litecoin dropped a lot in the last few weeks, does anyobody know the reason behind the recent big drop?

Probably switching their coins to Ether.

Litecoin has no development going for years now. Nothing new from it.

Most likely to be or they will exchange it to btc and wait 4 halving

Isn't that a good time to buy? :)

:) An interesting prediction. One week is enough little time to find out whether it is true.

He's trolling. He is a ltc holder or pump and dumper that tries to sway the market with petty remarks like that to get cheap coins. In reality he just wastes his time.

either way LTC is most stable altcoin around and he is here long time most say that he is dead if he is dead then price would be under 1$
i do trade with LTC and so far he never let me down i hope that LTC will follow BTC in price for this halving i hope to see this 10$ price if possible

What always bothers me about LTC is that I am unable to figure out what would drive price rises in a primary sense? LTC always seems to go up in line with BTC but seems to lack primary drivers

I am guessing the key driver for LTC is the abundant of scrypt power available in China.

Any predictions on how much LTC will be worth in BTC when it finally does catch up? Right now it is .0064 which is brutal. What are the chances that it will go to .02 or higher?

The main problem of the litecoin is that it is a loyal clone of bitcoin. There will no new features. So it is better to own bitcoin.

Looking forward to the upcoming on-chain adaptive block size scaling release of Litecoin. Here is the latest updated list of reasons LTC will continue to do well this year and beyond (I'll add information about sidechains as I learn more):

• Capable of four times as many transactions as Bitcoin in a ten minute period. Frankly if payment processors had adopted Litecoin in the past year current Bitcoin block discussions would be irrelevant (and likely the price of both coins higher). Anyone who has watched these discussions understands the immediate advantage of a network with larger transactional capability.  
• Faster confirmation times. The only people who don't think this is important have never spent a single coin or they have patience that the average person does not possess.
• The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks.
• Anti-spam.
• Fast well established network. Current Hashrate is 1,643 GH/s. Since scrypt is memory intensive it is known to be approximately 1000 times slower hardware wise in comparison to SHA256. Fair comparison to the Bitcoin network requires multiplying that hashrate by 1000 (1,643 TH/s). The fact is for most of Litecoins history the hashrate has been relatively high and secure. Those comparing it to the Bitcoin network without considering this 1k factor are either being disingenuous or just ignorant of the facts.
• Continuous development look here at number of releases in past year: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/releases
• Upcoming new features and active development look here for whats happening in 2016:
  https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/3z2ta1/ama_official_litecoin_developers_and_litecoin/
• Longevity. Many coins have temporarily eclipsed litecoin as they were marketed for the purpose of increasing the fiat accounts of a small group and emptying the accounts of new users. Unfortunately this has been detrimental to crypto-space in general.
  
• Great community.
• Fully supported by GoCoin a growing merchant payment processor used by thousands of merchants https://www.gocoin.com/ as well as other processors such as coinpayments, Asmoney, Alfacoins and Coinify
• Liquidity. You can sell thousands and not crash the market. Maintains value. Look at the chart here indicating volume in the last 24 hours relative to other coins. http://cryptocoincharts.info/coins/graphicalComparison In fact volume has remained high since last June while maintaining a stable price.
• The speed, liquidity and value of Litecoin is useful to traders seeking arbitrage opportunities between exchanges.
• Soon to be added to coinbase.
• Upcoming release to include a on-chain adaptive block size scaling solution. This will substantially increase the transactional capacity of Litecoin.
• Fair release. In a crypto world of premined and ICO releases many appreciate this fact. The code was released well before the Genesis block was mined and everyone knew when it would be going live; therefore, individuals could anticipate and get their miners and software ready. (Credit to brobot)
• Security.

 

its always the fudster that makes its value go up.
so just FUD around and make remarks about it to double its value when halving comes and soon more buyers will be burned after these investors panic to exit.

Fast forward to 2017, the 10$ and above prediction became a reality. Let's see if the price level can hold longer, will it go down or up this year?

Is is going to 0.02, this is a near certainty, based on the laws of FOMO.

Seem like when OP made this topic he meant on this year :)

This will be good year not just for bitcoin but for all altcoin we see movement on all coin and this is good opportunity to invest in last minute.

Well this year ltc pass over 10$ let just keep all out for any alt.
All coins need to be like this.

Where are those scrypt ASIC producers located at? Maybe they somewhat neglected investments into scrypt hashes due to stagnating LTC markets but they will for sure be capable of taking up faster than package delivery of fresh equipment reaches mining enthusiasts worldwide.

The ASIC producers are located in China. They are producing quite a lot now.

Now we can say that LTC holders can be happy finally coins is back on right track after quite some time.

Is this a sell the news moment or will there be more folks converting from Bitcoin to LTC?

LTC is no longer light it's now looking fat :)

The price is quite high.

I am always happy to see old topics like this one, where someone was right when he made a prediction about an altcoin. This make me have faith in the bitcoiners.

It is quite surprising though considering that LTC hasn't had any major changes in recent times.

That is because the Segwit is activated.

Price for one ltc is 30$ like it or not was it for seg with or not, ask what would it be if that was activate on bitcoin?

After the activation of segwit the price of litecoin came down and it was really unexpected as far as i am concerned as i have purchased a chuck of litecoin thinking that the price would keep moving after the activation as some the coins had a good rally after the activation and the price of litecoin just corrected after the activation.

Whales just playing and trying to manipulate those weak hands before moving up. It should move up anytime.

Litecoin is still good with current market price and volume, but to think it was good after all when all comes to it.

Litecoin does not have a block size problem, and SegWit is not just a block scaling solution. I would even say block scaling is just a side benefit of SegWit. The main fix is transaction malleability, which would allow Lightning Networks to be built on top of Litecoin. And there are a bunch more nice features of SegWit.

I don't know about 2016 as the price barely increased in 2016. But yeah currently we are in 2017 and ltc is being pumped so hard that it reached it's all time high price at 24$.  And i'm sure this is not the end of the price increase the coin is going to be pumped more and we can expect maybe a 50$ price tag by july or maybe a 100$ by end of this year (if it survived).

I remember seeing litecoin worth 5 dollars and thought about buying it but then somehow forgot the idea. Now I hope it will somehow get down to at least $20 and then I'll buy some. Litecoin is a good currency and I believe in its future big success. Especially with segwit activated. That's really cool everything went okay and litecoin is now having some extra block which secures it from serious attacks.

And if you think it is a good currency and you believe in its future big success, what makes you think that its price will come down to 20 USD which means loss of its current value around %33. You missed a very very good chance of buying when it was 5 USD may be you are missing another one now and then.


 

Litecoin's all time high was $50 back in 2013.

That is easy to reach. But the price relative to the bitcoin is difficult.

I think ETH has much better potential than LTC personally, I think the demand for ETH hasnt been as high because ICO risk-taking hasnt been quite as present for a little while.
Not sure why though as there are many fantastic ones out there, a few i'm personally looking into are Daostack IO, Muirfield IP, and TIP Blockchain.

TIP Blockchain aims to create the most user-friendly and easy to use platform in the cryptocurrency economy, that connects businesses to end users, and removes the technical barriers that users face today when using cryptocurrency.

Daostack IO powers decentralized companies, funds and markets to make fast and innovative decisions at scale. Basically an operating system for collective intelligence.

Muirfield IP is an opportunistic private equity real estate investment firm leading the effort to reinvent and improve private equity investing through the use of blockchain technology.
