Bitcoin Forum

The bull market (is here and is coming) is coming in Bitcoin and that means that Litecoin will thrive. Now it starts in all its good timing. LTC will fulfill your wishes and then some. Snowden approves of this.

So why not post this somewhere in the Altcoin section then?

I have a litecoin wallet on my phone with exactly 0.00000000 ltc in it and I think even that is too much.  If litecoin was on fire at a Def Leppard concert I wouldn't take a piss on it.  Now Dash on the other hand...

Litecoin has a long way to go before it beats bitcoin, litecoin is looks to me like a coin thats slowly dying also the litecointalk forum being hacked is not a good sign..

How can you say litecoin is dying? Hashrate has been increasing for years and is now stable at a stable price. It shows all the signs of being alive.

Yes, development is not like most hype altcoins, but that is because litecoin is working. It doesn't need fix after fix to prevent major problems, it just works.

I agree with TS that you might want to hold some of them, just in case.

Well I don't believe Litecoin will be on fire, not at all, yes it has a stable price of 0.007 BTC but only that, don't know what to do with it other than trading. Bitcoin is so far ahead of all the alts competing with it, as its used widely. Well its good that some gambling sites have starting accepting LTC as form of payment. Maybe this is good for it, but still I don't think it will be on fire any time soon.

OP is holding a bag of litecoin and secret wants to sell them. but he is not happy with the price, trying to cause a price rise so he can offload.

remember guys, when someone is publicly asking people to buy something. its because they already have, and they are prepping the price so the can sell

What makes you say that OP?

We foresee a rise in Bitcoin because of the halving. Usually Litecoin rises when Bitcoin rises, mostly because factors that cause the rise are similar for both coins. Since  this anticipated rise will be because of the Bitcoin halving, I can't see it effecting Litecoin all that much.

There is a saying; history repeats itself.

Based on this saying, investing everything you have in Litecoin is a GREAT idea! :)

So buy now, fools, and become rich this summer xD

i, pretty sure its good to keep litecoin just in case hold 2 3 btc of it maybe its gone pay lot more

Since you said bull market both btc and ltc, I want to know which one will rise more. I mean if I have fist today, should I buy btc or ltc, which one will make more percentage wise?

 i have mining LTC for i while and i have never get profit of it

If the total money flow into crypto currency is limited, then the litecoin will not rise too much as it is just a clone.

In 2013, when Litecoin was barely known, it increased from like $0.10 to $48. It increased I believe 10 times more than Bitcoin, despite the fact that most money went into BTC.

LTC is tied to BTC. When BTC goes up, LTC will follow, and will usually increase much more in percentages for the simple fact that it is cheaper, and, indeed, the most similar coin to BTC. So LTC's ''Silver to Bitcoin Gold'' is actually a good thing; it doesn't need gimmicks / features like IPO/scam coins like Ether!

Litecoin do not have such popularity like Dash or Monero for example, but from the other point some popular sites use it.  ;D

the only way i can see Litecoin rise is another Chinese incident like last time, they come and pump it so we can become happy and then dump it all in an hour.

ETH optimized mining is more profitable. BTC is example worth on gold and oil  :P

Mature coins like BTC,LTC,PPC,DOGE are the future. Overhyped coins like eth are destined for the graveyard.

Okay I admit ltc actually works. It has been used by many sites and tested in real world applications. But I don't see any reason why it will outperform btc.

Can't tell if sarcastic? Poor LTC is the one coin going backwards.

Litecoin is a bag of shit dump it

Dont forget that 25% OF ALL are in 3 wallets.

Okay! Thanks for your valuable opinion!

You contradicted yourself but I agree w/ your point and that was my main historical issue here. Until LTC doesn't mirror on steroids what BTC does during a halving, then my point doesn't stand. Yet, we're upon something special going forward and that is why the stable LTC is so valuable as we move forward. I have a small stake compared to my btc holdings but I posted this for different reasons considering this place is filled w/ on-the-other-side predictions for alts that are unknown to react or whatever. LTC is tried and true for mega-gains during a BTC bull run as many folks can't afford to breeze this run as it is too expensive, hence LTC as always.

The main difference between BTC and LTC is that the price is quite constant for LTC...

Furthermore, a lot of people have forgotten about this:

1. Lots of people dumped their BTC, LTC and other coins for ponzi/ipo coins like Ether.

2. Everyone anticipates Bitcoin bull run, new ath, etc. so a lot of people are waiting, and few are selling.

This is not the case for LTC. People don't expect it anymore, and there are few left who hold, which makes the stable price even more remarkable (new LTC are mined and sold every single day, and despite the incredible sell pressure on LTC, it remained stable).

This also means that, if BTC rises, and demand for LTC increases suddenly, the price will go up much faster and much harder.

It's a risk, but I believe it is one worth taking :)

Definitely worth holding/buying:

• 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.

I will always keep an eye on litecoin because history has proven that it can always move up and get pumped enough for making a quick profit. and as long as usage I don't find anything interesting about litecoin that makes me want to invest in it for a long term.

Litecoin works well as does doge as a currency and gives security that most coins do not have. When btc wallets are frozen at exchanges everyone runs to ltc and doge

It's slow and seemingly non existent development (although it is kept up to date very well with important core changes) is due to the fact there is no ltc funding in place for the development team.

I hope to address this here

LTC holders/miners come have your say.

i have my old usb key from ltc rabbit and i never spend my ltc i mine about 35 and they are still on my wallet im sure litecoin gone come back like you say because its secure and stable

In my oppinion Litecoin will always be lower in value compared to Bitcoin. Everybody wants to always invest in the "winner", not 2nd place. Also you don't want the thing that is "just    like Bitcoin". You want Bitcoin.

Sorry Litecoin is no longer ASIC-resistant and trading volume is too low (illiquid):
