Good news, long been awaited, but I think in the existing rate is already included.

I am very happy to hear this good news, maybe litecoin will rebuild a long-standing silence, and will wake up in the crypto world, but are you sure it really happened in a situation like this.

They should work a bit on the website, it looks a bit lame compared to the bitcoincore.org one, but it's looking good.

As we get more and more lightning network related news we will established higher floors each time.

Remember LTC is ultimately always bullish for as long as BTC has no segwit to get LN to the next level.

Alright fair enough..

But "Loaf Wallet" ?

You go first..

As long as "make LTC another ANON coin" isn't on the list then i am happy.

Very nice, LTC has been overtaken by some minor coins for no good reason at all. Good to know that LTC will soon change the phase of the game, better to fasten your seatbelts folks.

I wasn't much surprised when Ether and Ripple overtook Litecoin (at least these cryptos are quite old and somewhat popular). But today I got the shock of my life, after finding that NEM has also overtaken the market cap of Litecoin.

Great news - especially great to hear some news coming from LiteCoin.  Should be some interesting times ahead.

IMHO, litecoin has just been overtaken in the market cap, not only due to the price or marketing, but also due to the fact that these coins has large volume of circulating supply. But I still think, Ltc is way way better than them.

i agree LTC should be above NEM but i like NEM and I believe it is older than ETH?

ripple is a joke in terms of MC and can be magnitudes larger than btc if they want it to be. Its highly manipulated because they control the vast bulk of the minting.

btw were you a getgemz holder at one point?

Good to hear that more updates are coming up for litecoin as we have not heard anything about them for a very long time and after the activation of segwit i am sure we saw a small correction but from today we are seeing more growth in the price and hopefully i will continue in coming days.

So where is LN on this?

That's some good news. LTC is a coin that I know will rise with Bitcoin, and why its becoming part of my cryptocurrency savings.

Very good news, Litecoin is a coin that can compete with ETH and I really like trading using LTCCoin.
