since few days and LTC always down .. is LTC dead ?

It has been quite stable for the last 12 months, maybe this trend will end with Segregated Witness implementation, if it can be done, something like what is happening in bitcoin may also happen with litecoin and it may never be implemented

No it is not died and not going to die but nowadays it is a little away from the screen and the reason is that its developer do not work for it to promote in the market they do not support it to implement it in different markeplace. They have to work for it to promote it more to start services with this currency.

when you think, LTC will be up again ?? and why ?

And why is that, are they going to just leave it or what?

so what they wait to do ?? its late i think !! many investors start to sell by very low price !!

First of all you must know that coin which is going to die does not have such hashpower, and still rising. Your claims are based on LTC price which is something entirely different. I don't see exchanges removing it or delisting it.
Your claims are wrong!

Not yet, but i rally thing that LTC is dying.
Because all new people only buy bitcoins (the first) or some really good new "next gen" coins like byteball, ethereum or others.

LTC has nothing changed only some stats. to btc, it is like the second coin from the first coin.

I think LTC right now is increasing watch and monitor the price fluctuate and you will see the price is going to increase the same movement of bitcoin right now.. check in coinmarketcap.. you can notice the graph is rising this days..
And i think its a normal that we are seeing down movement of ltc price..

litecoin is stable price, coin is good and the best stable price, is litecoin and dogecoin
all altcoin can down price if bitcoin price incraese high
but if you want disscus litecoin price, is good and right place in speculation altcoin section

but last days it down much .. it was 0.0043 and now its just 0.00396 !!!
and what you think about bitcoin. will be up more or will happened like first of month and down much ?!

I am not sure if its current price because I have lost touch in following but I am sure its not dead yet and the price it will be now is just trying to stabilize then pick up again. Although I agree making profit out of a stable coin might be difficult and this might make speculators avoid such but that's not a justification of it being dead. I have visited exchange sites even gambling sites and they gave the same prominence accorded to btc to Ltc which is a testifier that LTC is still alive.

Litecoin will never die. It is the step brother of bitcoin so it will die only if bitcoin dies.
They are related in some many ways and they were the coins that were lauched relatively at the same time if not a month afterwards. The ultimate alt coin if you want to view it as that. :-\

It's pretty likely that segwit will be implemented in Litecoin before bitcoin, the threshold for Bitcoin is 95%, while the treshold for Litecoin is only 75%

Litecoin isn't going anywhere, prices of altcoins rise and fall, Litecoin has been around forever and its development has slacked more in the past than now.
It will survive.

Eh, no.  It's kind of like doge, where people don't do a hell of a lot of speculation using it, so the price fluctuations usually aren't as extreme as some other coins.  It's far from dead, though.  Some people do actually use it for things,  also just like doge.

Look at how its economy is one of the biggest for alt-coins... Don't deny that developers are currently fine tuning everything, but it's growth is a tremendous as being paired as a silver to the gold.

Other alts are big or expensive, but the trend to using it is all that matters in the long run.

It has caused by http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php
Just a little support on SegWit, totally that's the fake hype by SegWit on LTC. with the current result, the SegWit was reaching 0.11% signalling support by the miners.  The investor may think the dev is a liar.

There is no something new in LTC.

it is the bitcoin effect!
whenever price of bitcoin goes up, all of the altcoins that have been traded against USD and Bitcoin at the same time will go down. and it is a simple logical reason. 0.00396BTC is worth more than 0.0043BTC used to worth a couple of days ago! because when price was 0.0043BTC bitcoin price was $910 and now that it is worth 0.00396BTC, bitcoin is worth $1010
do the multiplications or find a chart that is reporting price in LTC/USD not LTC/BTC and you will see the change.

I do not think that LTC is dead, I think he still will increase ... Itself the price of going to stay in the area of ​​0015-0017

I got a little litcoin. Im not litecoin investor. Im boring to hear that "Litecoin is dyging each day." but Litecoin is still in fifth cryptocurreny on the coinmarketcap.

LTC is not dying, it has lots of hash power, the price has been stable, so you can cash out if you want and now we are going to see segwit implemented on it, I think what is happening is that there has been a lot of movement in bitcoin and investors have decided to focus on bitcoin.

I think so, LTC's all time high was in 2013, LTC/BTC rate was 0.052 at btc-e.com, and 380 CNY in Chinese exchnages, but current rate is 0.0038 btc, it means that it is less than 10% of ath price. But IMO it will be dumped to 0.001 btc, which is the most reasonable price.

It won't be recovering into the early price, too many the promising project were appearing in the past time. I think ltc just try to get back their hype. But what's the usefulness for implementing SegWit in altcoin? There is not a specific problem in ltc need to get solved with segwit.

Yeah, ltc is not widespread used by so many people, not like bitcoin, each block can contain thousands of transactions, ltc only has less than 100 transactions, don't need segwit at all.

Prices go up, prices go down. As long as it doesn't flatline LTC will be ok.

Yes i thought this to. LTC transactions are very fast and segwit is not so important at all. More important things are integration and usage. Little bit of re-designing, and html5 wallet and that's it. And all this is not something unattainable.

that is the biggest problem that the community has. they don't know much about technical stuff.
i am not pretending to know it fully either but for example SegWit's first and biggest purpose is fixing the malleability issue and not speeding up transactions or even increasing block size.

and also things you mentioned like redesigning and a new wallet are just for the interface, and interface has never done anything for any coin before.

It looks like it decreased a lot since this post was posted.

LTC is still growing strong, base on trading experts, LTC market is the safest and best place to make day trading because of its stable and strong market.

yeah, growing strong... more than 20% dump today  ;D

Yeah, it is dead now. I hope you dump before it's too late.

it was actualy yesterday, today its another more than 30%
same for ETH, ETC, ZEC, XRP, DASH etc.. all down more than 30% now from yesterday.

Are you serious? LTC is almost as old as crypto itself. It's been around, seen some crap, pumped and dumped more than many other top coins today. It's going to come back as always. I think it's going to fall down a bit more and then it will be a good time to buy.

You had two chances to dump, first a few weeks ago when it was $36 and then two days ago it was above $30 again, why didn't you sell?

Just a panic that makes you think LTC is dead. LTC is an old coin, see all this definitely developers will not stay silent

Dump and pump is the usual thing in world trade altcoin  ;)

No LTC is not dead, because if you see the price today its good and I think you can buy more LTC if you extra money because I believe after few months maybe the price of LTC will increase more and I think it will become double or triple the price but if you want more profit buy more  LTC today and hold for few year and for sure you will earn a lot of money after that. Many projects of LTC will create and even partner we have now. Like coinbase add wallet of LTC. And thats good because if they add waller it means the price will increase.

LTC is undead  :D

LTC has now lost 2nd place among the crypto currency, and nothing new has happened so far, compared to the same Ether and DASH. It seems to me that growth, if it is, only together with the rest

As absurd as it would sound only a year ago, LTC (aka the copy+paste clone of the Bitcoin code) is now a more usable cryptocurrency than its predecessor.

Obviously, it's not a buzzword like bitcoin, so your average folk hasn't heard about it, but while its devs are here to push it it's here to stay.

To be honest, I've sold my holdings, as I have a limited amount of cash, and there's projects I believe even more in (ether, taas, gnt, lisk, Augur, etc.) but I don't think we'll see a downfall anytime soon. If anything, it should rise even higher.

i sold prematurely today morning, but i plan to rebuy lower.

Segwit + Lightning network + smart contract = yes it dead.

LTC will probably never die. It will slowly increase.

it can go easily back to 28-30 next week if bitcoin rises. but nothing is certain here. so far it  fares relatively well

LTC is looking for the next solid ground, I think it will gradually rising,
do not expect it to have rally within thin month.
It ll change probably later within end year
