Looks like LTC is the next $1bn blockchain, but will it keep on going and eventually reel in XRP??

LTC is worth 0.0120000BTC
XRP is worth 0.00003500BTC

you shouldn't even begin to compare these two coins together!
and not to mention that LTC is a legit cryptocurrency which had no premine or any other shit like that :)

and to answer your question: yes it only needs 0.027BTC price to take over XRP's marketcap. and that is not even $50 which is the first target for litecoin!

It's not scientific! Just discussions on the state of the market! :D

LTC is really racing ahead!

Yup, Very soon.

Well, it happened :D

Now to wait for the drop back before the next push upwards towards XRP!

the big question is will it overtake bitcoin.

Nah. I cannot even ask such a question!! :D
(yet...)

As there are 4x LTC per BTC, it might get to a quarter of it.

What you say is true but I was really referring to MC. If it exceeds a quarter of the token price it will exceed the MC. Why not now LTC is getting everything BTC is not for now ?  the question is no longer why LTC needs to exist but perhaps why does BTC need to exist...

coblee is also a great leader when he wants to be....shame he was not always so hot for LTC in the past.

I think is never can overtake volume transaction bitcoin
because all exchanger majority trade litecoin pair with bitcoin, is big volume transaction litecoin use pair bitcoin
so volume transaction litecoin can added volume transaction bitcoin

It will, We know if bitcoin gets a lot of bullish trends right now and it supports the bitcoin price to get another ATH. We must remember if LTC is a silver and bitcoin is a gold. Both are very identical in my mind. 

Due to the massive increase of bitcoin demands, It will give a lot of advantages for litecoin to be another alternative for bitcoin itself.

It's possible for ltc market cap will be equal with XRP.

LTC has crossed $1 Bn. It is up 40% in the last 24 hours!!!  :o  :o  :o
But still a long way to go before it crosses XRP. Ripple is worth almost twice of Litecoin, in terms of market capitalization.

I think it is very possible, but extremely difficult, LTC needs to be pumped double, to 0.03, so you have larger market cap.

Here we can't compare these two Because the main thing in the two of the altcoins is that Thier basic concept to exist in the altcoins market is different .
The litecoin is mean to have value of the bitcoin in small amount and Ofcourse if it is lite than BTC then its price will be comparable to bitcoin Because its basic price was also comparable and Currently also comparable .
But in the case of the xrp , you need to see the starting base price that really small , so here it will not be good to say that xpr is back.to the litecoin .
Here the progress of the xrp isch more fast ( in my opinion ) then what is in the case of the litecoin .

I think there's big possibility because litecoin now is in a good state and xrp is not too famous, if litecoin keep on continue on growing it can replace xrp place and there is a lot of investor attracted to litecoin for now

I think who ever could make many supply could win. Btc is the highest not because only of its price because everyone can mine it easily and its supply is in demand. LTC may increase in the market but that depends on its demand,a lot of altcoins were made nad LTC is one of the oldest. I would agree that LTC would increase but i its not really that it will overtaking any others.

Coinbase announced today in its blog that it is officially adding support for the Litecoin currency. Now, customers can easily buy, sell, ship and store through the website or mobile apps.
The decision came months after Coinbase's digital asset exchange, GDAX, added support for litecoin trading, although the startup long ago left the prospect of additional litecoin integrations - CEO Charlie Lee, Coinbase's director of engineering.
Overall, it's the latest notable boost to the second-oldest cryptocoin on the market, which has seen its audience rise recently amid news of its next scalability solution with SegWit. This adoption signaled the possibility of technological upgraded.

It was #2 coin for a long time, i dont see why it cant have a short stay around those levels again.  There is much more money in crypto and it went to $50 before with less people/money involved on the pump.

Overtake bitcoin you fine that is most impossible thing we will actually see. Bitcoin has a market cap of some $30 bn and ltc didn't even reach a billion. For now i only think that eth is the right coin which has a chance to replace bitcoin.

I don't like ltc, but if it manages to implement LN soon then it might go above XRP. Ripple made one of the best legal "scams" in the history of crypto. They are basically a private central bank that keeps increasing the inflation by releasing more tokens. And all of it centralized, ofcourse. But most people either don't bother to research or simply bet they can make some profit off it, because of teh FOMO reaction.

The word impossible on this board should not exist. This is crypto. Impossible here means highly probable at some point.

I like BTC of course it is a great project. I am happy if LTC merely sits at number 2 at perhaps half the MC of BTC.

I do think though that is tptb want it too LTC will give BTC a good run for its money. All depends on BTC's next move.

.

I don't think they can,there's still the silent majority that fully supports Bitcoin and don't have much news about litecoin,this is litecoin's best time in so many years let traders and holders enjoy it but not brag about dethroning Bitcoin.

Temporarily, yes, but Ripple will always return to the top 3. It's the coin of choice for incumbent financial institutions--the sort of business that likes centralization and regulation. That alone will keep it in the top 3 more-or-less forever.

I wouldn't mind if it stay on 4th position forever (LTC).

Quote. For now till a new, innovative technology arises.

DOGECOIN is better than XRP shit-token

XRP is a corporate electronic token not a cryptocoin  ::)

Litecoin is the real blockchain coin, not to compare with something controlled like xrp. Marketcap is not measure that some coin is better than other. Well okay, ltc will overtake it in few time.

XRP is running for it's life! :D :o

Good show. I love the competition.

The upshot of all that green competition is that BTC market dominance is now well under 60%. The 2nd - 5th on CMC have a combined marketcap of more than 50% of BTC marketcap. As for ETH scratching $100....  :o

We live in interesting times!

No because Ripple can easily say that they have released another 10 billion XRP or any amount they want in the market. This will increase their market capitalization without doing anything.

LTC and XRP is on the top altcoins now as we see in the coinmarketcap. For me, it has a chance the LTC to overtake XRP because the LTC is newly updated but we can't bother people choosing XRP if they want because LTC can overtake only XRP if many people like and join the community of LTC then participate.

I don't believe that is the correct question as of press time. LiteCoin is surging in value because of its brave move to signal SegWit and being the silver to Bitcoin as gold many investors are also looking at LTC as a very viable cryptocurrency. I have no problem with Ripple primarily because I don't have one. LiteCoin can soon arrive at $50 level.

I think yes if the activation of segwit on litecoin be successful and there are not problem after that
also there are other innovations in litecoin, i think litecoin has solid comunity, developers and investors
it is just about time until litecoin overtake xrp in marketcap​.

Well people, if we take a look at the current market caps:

LTC = $1,313,920,626
XPR = $3,414,168,876

So it is clear that XPR has a great lead compared to LTC. But you must remember that these two are trading instruments with completely different main purpose. Whereas Litecoin was designed to be an alternative for Bitcoin, Ripple has purpose of being sort of bridge currency to help exchanging many currencies around the world (including FIATs).

Therefore, I think it's safe to say that XPR will always have more demand, taken that the project will be successful. Right now XPR also seems like more attractive option to invest as the value could easily go 10x the current price. I don't see that happening with LTC as the value is quite high already.

Exactly, XRP have good chances to grow, while LTC even if it go to 100$, this will be just 4x of current price, while XRP can do 10x in years, at best scenario, I don't see LTC higher than 100$.
I would like to be wrong, since I have some, but..

Correct. Even DOGE with its openly communicated inflation policy is better. Why? Because DOGE can increase the max. amount, but to get there, the coins have to be mined.

XRP on the other hand, can generate tokens by punching a button. XRP is like fiat currency, Ripple Inc. is their central bank, and the price increase is proof of human stupidity.

XRP has the disadvantages of fiat (central control, creation out of thin air) and the disadvantages of crypto (not pegged to fiat, volatility)

USDT is better, DOGE is better, almost anything is better.  ::)

I'm not at all against the growth of ltc. Tbh even i am holding a few ltc coins since starting but what he told was ltc may overtake bitcoins market cap. I think you are simply quoting and not reading the discussion. Ltc taking over bitcoin market cap will always be impossible no matter what you do.

XRP supply is almost unlimited though
