Bitcoin Forum

I will ask a very straight forward and simple question.

By 2019 (exactly 2 years from today). What is more likely ?

Bitcoin @ $7,500 per coin

Or

Litecoin @ $150 per coin



P.S. Offer an explanation for your choices too.
P.S.S. One of these 2 predictions WILL come to fruition.

Well, one thing you got right so far. Yes, bitcoin and litecoin will most likely compete eachother for a top 10spot in market cap in few months. About prices per coin, ltc will probably  be between 3-4$, and bitcoin <200$ when the civil war betwen BU and core will escalate.

BTC falling to $200 would completly destroy the "store of value" notion. And not to forget the build up back to a new ATH would take 5 years at least, if ever at all.
So im guessing Litecoin is the better bet ?

Bitcoin will not be $7500 in 2 years unless something happens that can speed up the process of adoption. we can not predict that part but it will still be adopted and more people will invest in it because it is the ONLY trusted cryptocurrency with no bullshit and no bug and no premine. that is why i predict a price around $2500 to $3000 in 2 years.

litecoin however is still small and an altcoin. it will rise as it is the only altcoin i know which has real usage and people are actually using it as a currency in very small scale. it is being developed and the developers are in fact good not just some random guy pushing useless code like 90% of the altcoins.
again it is hard to predict, i expect if litecoin activates SegWit it can literary go to the moon. as in rise up to $100 in a couple of months and if not it can still grow. in two years i expect at least $10-$50 specially because all other useless junk has disappeared by then.

I doubt both of the prediction will come true, 7500$ is too high for bitcoin to achieve in 2 years, if your prediction about 3000$ then it is still possible, for litecoin I don't think it will happened, there are no great price movement from lite coin since last year and no great news that it is going to invest by some big company, litecoin will stay stable like now in the next 2 years

I think above factor of bitcoin is more right to say because here in the internet world every newbie who want and is entering is only due to the name of the bitcoin . So here use of bitcoin is more than use of litecoin , and it is also a truth that litecoin is a altcoin and most of the altcoins are like the children in front of the bitcoin , so it may be possible that both of should have the same difference in the year 2019 with increase in the price .

I guess $150 for ltc is more realistic. Litecoin is a 'btc clone'. But it's one of the first ones. And if we speak about casinos, it's among the most popular altcoins. People have been talking about the death of litecoin for years but it is still on the stage and I believe it will have better times than it has now, because at least there are no major security isssues with it and it is protected from inflation.

LTC was popular in 2013, maybe a bit in 2014. After that, it's importance died, being one of the first bitcoin clones can't help for so long. There's no room for public cryptocurrencies that aim to become payment system in the game right now, not even bitcoin reached mainstream adoption after 8 years.

bitcoin@7500 but you have to wait for a dollar collapse  ;D

Bitcoin will fall to 350$ by 2018. Litecoin is already going down there won't be by any chance it will ever reach to 150$.

I think it should be bitcoin Vs dash
lite coin is past

How many dash you have?

How many LTC or BTC you have ? dont be personal

I will say both is not possible bitcoin price may grow to near $2000 within next two year but not like $7000+. Talking about litecoin, i don't expect any exponential growth on its price because it have already lost its charm, and there are already DASH & ETH stealing the crypto show. Price may hardly grow to $10 for litecoin by 2019.

Here's my prediction:

Within 2 years, ATH for bitcoin will exceed $7,500.

Within 2 years, Litecoin will trade below $10.

Why?  Litecoin is an also ran.  It offers nothing of value over bitcoin.  Sure litecoin is a well run coin, gotta give them props for that, but it's not innovating... and the bitcoin space is already covered by bitcoin.

Ethereum, with all its problems, is at least trying to offer something different.

All lite coin offered was non-asic mining, and that has gone away.

Which exactly bitcoin will exceed $7,500? Unlimited, or blockstream one?

you are pushing for your ethereum with this comment and you don't know what you are talking about.
bitcoin reaching mainstream has more stops and slow downs than just being a "payment system". in short it is because the world is not ready and half of it won't allow a decentralized system to become big.

and as for litecoin, you should check the price, the volume and the development of this coin. after all this years which is nearly 8 years too, litecoin is still big and it can not be said about any other coin. and all that aside did you know Chinese are super interested in this coin for some weird reason.
the major Chinese exchanges only has bitcoin and litecoin and nothing else.

BTC (or BTU) @ $3000 in 2019

That is what i am gathering from everyones feedback.
3x return on an investment over 2 years is not bad, but its not great either considering the risk of a fork/split etc.


Im saying LTC @ $20-$120 by 2019! As long as the Chinese are given access to their coins again (so they can pump) and Segwit actually activates and some sharp minded devs start building on LN, etc. Which is all VERY likely.

Hey, ya all Vangas here ;p

BTC won't be anywhere near 7.5k USD! It's purely insane. Governments won't allow it in any form and will actively prohibit. So long it is on 'fan level' they don't really care. Read news about China and their BTC exchanges drama.

And I don't see Litecoin doing that great either!

One of a few reasons 1 BTC could hit ~7.5k USD is US dollar depreciation to toilet paper, which is more likely due to US debt crawling to 70% of GDP.

Eth, Dash, Zec and few others plus some strong 'alt-newcomers' seem to prosper for me in the years to come (2017-2019).

ZEC .... either it will crash or pump hard from here
 65% pump chance

It could both happen or it could both not happen. It's just will depend on how things go from here. If Litecoins get more innovations over bitcoins then it could possibly reach that $150 price ranges. However, what is scary is that if bitcoin causes a lot of trouble for users and they get fed up with it and move to another coin, bitcoins could see an all time low for it and possibly die. Though the chances of that happening may look slim.

Litecoin is holding stable while Bitcoin dumps (looses value)

WTF?

I guess i was right. Its the year of the Chikun ?

ltc doesnt move at all...even doge has made more of a move

Litecoin is in no.7, it is failure compared with 2013, forget it and move on, ethereum is the biggest competitor of bitcoin.

You're right! ETH is always next to bitcoin. Hopefully , after 2 years the BTC price is booming, having a greater value than now and had already reached many ATH. There is no imposibble with bitcoin, its trend is always increasing as year pass by and will run for a long time.

ETH is a shitrag i wouldnt wipe my arse with!

The ONLY reason it (and Dark/Dash) is pumped up is rich BTC haters trying with all their might to destabilize BTC.

Anyone who fails to see LTC as a contender is either dim or dishonest.

or why not both...

bitcoin and litecoin has moved together in the past so it is safe to assume they may continue to do so in the future also. this means your question is not OR it is an AND meaning bitcoin to $7500 and litecoin to $150

although i don't like those numbers i think they are too big for only 2 years. $150 for litecoin means a 3650% rise which is unlikely unless something big happens with this coin like activation of SegWit.

p.s. it is worth mentioning that despite bitcoin rising from $900 to $1014 in two days and all the altcoins getting dumped, liteoin has been keeping the price up and even went up a bit.

Not sure how in the world you came up with $150 for LTC.

LTC has been stable, so in a sense it's actually been a real store of value for a little while. But it's also really under performed the altcoin index recently. With this coin, patience is really going to be key, and that's going to be tough to have. Especially when you look and see what DASH, ETH, and XMR have done recently. But those coins are all high now, and I'd feel much less stressed about buying LTC, then say buying at DASH at $100.

Realistically, with some good development, I think LTC could reach a $1 billion cap again (it was briefly there in the 2013 bubble). SegWit and Confidential Transaction are some pretty big features. That would put LTC at $20/coin, and that's my target, but only if both of these features get implemented BEFORE BTC (if it does). Now if LTC does this, then the question of $150 LTC versus $7500 BTC actually becomes a topic worth discussing, imo. ;)

Coinbase needs to start supporting LTC for any price movement to happen for ltc
ltc used to be #2, but it has slipped away.. https://www.coingecko.com/en i would ofcourse want it back up  :'(

This is all just guessing; here is mine: I don't expect either of those targets to be hit. Comparing the two cryptocoins, my guess is LTC will outperform BTC over the next two years.

The fact that coinbase applied and received the first license for Litecoin of any exchange in New York indicates they definitely are interested in supporting LTC. Litecoin can now be traded on GDAX in NY as a result. If this translates into improved volume LTC being available on Coinbase is just a matter of time.

Now if we have to answer one or the either I would say neither. If we are going to talk which one would be closer to your estimates I  think bitcoin would be. Litecoin was the big deal once upon a time.

Gold of bitcoin to silver of litecoin, but now we can see litecoin has been passed by couple of coins mainly by eth, so that means Litecoin is not peoples choice of silver. It won’t go as big as you think it will. However bitcoin is another subject, 7.500 is a lot of rise in the price, I think it will definitely rise from what is today but not that much.

I think the priority will be more for the litecoin that is $150 per litecoin.  I am saying this because in the bitcoin we are seeing that the current condition is directly saying that the bitcoin is no more limited to 21 millions , so here no more chances for the bitcoin to increase the price but here the litecoin has limit to generate for particular .
Do I think probability for the lite coin is more than for the bitcoin , that is regardless that bitcoin is king of the all other coins and altcoins .

Lite coin 90 % up today any short term target guys

LTC will correct back to $4.5 to $5 before April (within 48hrs).
Then IF and only IF segwit activates. I am guessing we will see the MOON (i.e : $70 to $110)
IF segwit is not adopted, then we will hover under $7 until CHARLIE LEE thinks of something to "add" to the LTC protocol.

Thanks for your reply i will wait till this issue of segwit get resolve.

It's looking like LTC will activate SegWit, which means they'll have Lightning!

BTC likely won't because there are two opposing camps that will never come to an agreement on how to scale.

Once LTC has something of unique value it will provide a huge boost in price, which is something miners, whales and blockstream ALL want. It will provide fast, cheap transactions on a coin with good reputation and liquidity in the top 10.

Both or neither is more likely.

I really think that neither will happen. I believe that BTC will continue to gain more media attention, will become even more popular, but I don't think that will break trough the $5000 level.
LTC, if don't show more than is doing right now (functionality wise), won't have much more room to have more value than today. I think that is more a question if LTC will bring more to the game than everything else.

imo i do not see any of them coming true because $7500 per bitcoin would not last a day and would spark many hodlers to dump all their coins and buy cheap btc when prices are dragged back down

and as for litecoin which has been around for quite a long time, has failed to convince investors to support the alt but as seen a few pumps of late.

If bitcoin will run segwit successfully and LN will deliver all the promises without unexpected fuck ups bitcoin can break 5000 and even 50000, since real world usage in retail without 1 hour confirmations finally became possible. Litecoin, as only fairly launched coin, with adoption of bitcoin segwit and related software can have untraceable transactions, can process more volume, can do atomic swaps with bitcoin without centralized exchanges, gain some huge slice of bitcoin volume, etc.
It's really depends on blockstream and their software so much, if segwit fuck ups as BU guys tell us both coins can be doomed into oblivion, since SegWit is more like irreversible update. If bitcoin will not adapt SegWit for years and blockstream developers will move to Litecoin it will be funny and litecoin can even surpass bitcoin in capitalization.

$7500 dollars in two years time from now for BTC is quite an ambitious prediction :) also for litecoin its an ambitious too as there are  less development I think for this altcoin. But litecoin has more room for growth. This has a follower already.

But since Op wants us to choose one, I would choose Bitcoin $7500 :). Well if that happens, I can sell my BTC happily.

Well JAPAN has legally adopted Bitcoin and China is in love with LITECOIN so you might have a nice surge in both of them as more and more people are coming into the digital currency space and many do like to hold more than Bitcoin in their portfolios. By 2019 we might see us all travelling to MARS if we get mass adoption for both, but I prefer the Pleiades star system myself.  ;D

Both predictions are optimistic and probably non of this two predictions will come true in 2 years from now. Don`t get me wrong I have some litecoins and I would love ltc to cost much more then now, but its impossible. I would be satisfied if ltc come to 30-40 dollars in next couple years.
Btc is something else, but I wonder how OP find this 7500 dollars, from where? Like someone said that price in two years can be just some pump, and after few minutes of that price we can expect big crash.

Im bumping this thread...


LTC just needs to rise 5x (500%) and hey presto $150 per LTC is acheived!


Bon Voyage :)

If the current trend continues, it'll be LTC $150.

If BTC can ever settle on a scaling solution, then LTC will go back to its dormant state, sitting in waiting for bitcoin to fuck things up in some new way.

Loads of shitcoins have made x5 or even x10 without anything.... ltc is gonna make some people filthy rich for sure.... its holding strong @ $30
Just watch this space in a few days 🚀

It's all just a prediction could be one better to other, but it all depends the market as well

I think most the chines also interested in bitcoin. if china is going to legalize a online currency, I am hopeful that they will also legalize bitcoin and only then they will be thinking about any other altcoin to turn it as legal currency or not.

Good prediction but i guess it depend in the market the coins can experience a price go down in the coming years and we can just say that yhe price will go up and up consistently in the future bitcoin can go dump and litecoin can be a dead coin as will but i guess they are good investment in this time and i guess the price will still go up.

Look at LTC. One pump and its on its arse. Idk Ltc has a hard time holding any value of significance. Look at the all time chart. I love the coin don't get me wrong.

Bitcoin maybe better than litecoin, in terms of market and also more dominant bitcoin prices

Bitcoin is incomparable to other altcoin out there, This topic is a little bit misleading since we all know that Bitcoin is the foundation of altcoin nowadays, There is still no Altcoins that can compared or beat what bitcoin does.

It is just incomparable in price because obviously btc started it all 1st. But if we talk about the increase in price then there altcoins who can also increase in the same percentage. Ethereum for one has a high increase rate. And it is starting to become popular among investors. Don't get me wrong , it is still nowhere near btc but with its growing price it can entice a lot more people.

I think the prediction of both is not possible within 2 years bitcoin reaches such a very high value, So also the value of Ltc within the next 2 years must have increased but not increased drastically like that, Ltc will increase slowly.

For me bitcoin is still the best from litecoin as also we could not predict its price after 2 years. I dont think for the span of years that will reach $7500 immediately. So bitcoin is still on top among altcoins.

Why does it have to be 1 or the other? Bitcoin + litecoin = 21 +84 Million = 105 Million coins...........

105 Million coins for a Global store of value is MINISCULE at best. say 1 coin is valued at 10,000$ USD, that only amounts to 1.05 Trillion Dollars.....

heres a little insight: There are around 8 Trillion dollars worth of Gold mined in the world today, and we are still finding more of them (We have no clue how many tons are left underground)

So if you really think that either of these crypto are gonna be the currency of the future, I think the real question everyone should be asking is : How do we make them easier to use (not just save) because for the life of me I don't see my self spending 0.0000035 btc for coffee every morning

Litecoin is currently under value compared to other crytocurrency of the same class. Litecoin move to $150  Before 2019 is very possible as since last week it has make a significant progress. Bitcoin on the other hand should get to $7500 before the end of 2019. My opinion is the two coins are going to trade above that value before the end of 2019.

Based on recent boom if it continues then the price prediction will happen the time you mentioned or before that . even it may reach sooner once all ether based ICO and token proved scam then people obviously look for bitcoin and oldest existing alternative coins like litecoin,ripple and doge

LOOK AT IT NOW LOL Bitcoin will be 7000 by the end if the year at this rate

Digibyte to top the market .it's faster ,safer and has.more features than both BTC and LTC

 :D

the second is more likely because bitcoin will not stay at $7500. Bitcoin will cross this price and reach $20000 in 2019. Litecoin slowly increase and if everything is correct, litecoin can hit $150

This is a difficult challenge for litecoin. Bitcoin has such a market power and the trust of cryptocurrency users is so strong. So Bitcoin is so aggressive in its price. While litecoin rather slow movement due to many factors that affect litecoin step movement.

 ;D why still have comment about this topic.. it's should be close.
now is BTC vs ETH BTC vs BCC

Maybe much better to create your own discussion thread regarding to your pair, but indeed mate ltc seems to be so slow in terms of making progress and with how ETH and bch showed good competition inside crypto industry its needed to reassess.

Bitcoin will $9600USD
Litecoin will $190USD

My choice is “Bitcoin @ $7,500 per coin”, although I think “Litecoin @ $150 per coin” is possible.
Reason: Bitcoin is already $4100 now, 2x the price in 2 years is not difficult. 

In March of this year, the forecast was discussed: whether by 2019, bitcoin will be 7400 dollars, and litekoin will be 150 dollars each. Virtually no one believed that bitcoin could achieve such a course in 2019. Now that the bitcoin rate is currently $ 4,605 ​​and continues to rise, this does not seem to be something unattainable. From the current positions, one can even say that in 2019 the bitcoin rate will be even higher than 7400 dollars and may well be at the level of $ 10,000, or even higher. As for litecoin, its rate is about $ 63, which is also quite good and by 2019 can also reach the forecasted rate. That is for six months the price kriptovpljuty on an example of these two coins has quite essentially risen. This indicates the rapid support of the crypto currency from the community and that the crypto currency is confidently entering our everyday life.

It's looking like both are quite likely.
But in 2017 rather than 2019.
LTC has a bit more work to do than BTC but I have faith that a big pump is imminent.

how posting predictions can serve as proof we don't know what were talking about on the forums. this was less than 6 months ago

Bitcoin is without any doubt the best cryptocurrency to invest in without any doubt. Bitcoin is the most popular crypto and hence the most stable cryptocurrency present in the market.

but it's a lot of fun to read later ;D do wanna make another prediction for the next 6 months?  I'll go with 10K-12K ..

If it continues this rate, no doubt bitcoin will be over $7,500 by 2019. But I think there is a possibility to decrease this rate next couple of months. ::)

Yesterday Litecoin set a new all time high $74 and today also Bitcoin raised to $4765. So now analysts are looking for Bitcoin over $7000 and Litecoin over $100 to the end of the year. If the growth will continue may be we will see it.

This post started long time ago. And now both Litecoin and Bitcoin almost that target soon

Lol =)) this made my day. I mine lot of LTC. But sell immediately. When clee comeback support ltc I think ltc will go up soon.

BTC has more weight, but LTC might have more speculation power. I expect to LTC returns to remain aligned, might be on the lower end, with BTC, although be more volatile.

This is so obvious bitcoin is the greatest coin in the cryptocurrency and Litecoin will never beat it, bitcoin for today is around like 4800$+ and litecoin is just like a couple of dollars bitcoin will increase its own price as well as the litecoin but still bitcoin is the best,.

BTC for sure

All these predictions from a few months ago  ;D

Possibly happen I've believed in BTC and LTC will surge plus segwit has been done if prices of BTC surge then the price of LTC will also surge. Just waiting for the time it happened.

Bitcoin is without any doubt the best cryptocurrency to invest in without any doubt. Bitcoin is the most popular crypto and hence the most stable cryptocurrency present in the market.

Indeed. But the competition is who will be the ultimate crypto in the future when it is already in the mainstream. We can say bitcoin is the most popular right not but we aren't mainstream yet and this is probably the reason why btc price continue to rise since crypto is still growing. I like Litecoin for the reason that it is cheaper and fast.

Two years later, Bitcoin, in my opinion, could well reach a rate of $ 7500 dollars and even more. If now it fluctuates within 5000 - 6000 thousand dollars, then for two years this forecast is quite likely. As for the litecoin coin, it is difficult to predict to what extent it will grow. This coin is quite promising and there is no doubt that it will grow in value, no. However, now its rate is 59 dollars and whether its cost will increase to $ 150 for two years - it seems to me that not.

Both scenarios are extremely likely, i would even venture to say both will be much higher that these projections.

it may be too optimistic to claim 7500usd per 1 btc in 2019..
ohh wait, is it 6400 today?

lol, so cool here :-)
8000$ Now.

LTC rocket is prepping too.  Not sure when takeoff will happen but it's def underpriced at 70 USD IMHO
