If you had the choice to buy only one of the two today which 1 would it be?

Monero or LTC? don't really need brains to decide on this ;)

I'd say Monero. It's more or less at the bottom now. Price under 200 ema at 1 day chart, thus I think it's cheap atm. On the other hand, I think LTC is still overpriced and bottom will be at ~0.010.

Also for long hold I think Monero is better.

Obviously that's just a guess. Don't take my word.

Both are having different case scenario
XMR is for completely anonymous
whereas LTC planning to hit stores and more use case compare to his daddy BTC..

both can rise on their given day

I'll go with LTC because it is better than Monero for me because LTC is like the silver of bitcoin so if we will lose bitcoin then we can use litecoin which is almost the same with bitcoin and a better coin compare to other altcoins in terms of back up for bitcoin but if you guys like a privacy coin then monero is the best.

With comparison to LTC, monero is the winner.
Monero is hot right now and it could be one of the major crypto in the coming future.

Monero is a better investment but as someone else stated LTC has more of an adoption value.

LTC is very stable and in use,good choice for that time of chaos,but dversification s a key,so maybe consider to buy both

I put everything into LTC last night because i was scared it was "cheap" relative to Monero at the time

I'd say look at the charts, make short term buys off that

Long term I guess monero, but it's hard to tell

I had tons of LTC which I sold in loss yesterday. Now that bitcoin is going to get the segwit activated, there is no space for further growth of LTC. On the other hand Monero is one of the best scalable and anonymous coin available. I would pick Monero with my eyes closed.

I'd buy Monero, man.
Seriously though, I favor Monero as a project due to its features.
Both have prospects for a price increase in the future. Monero will always be the first choice when it comes to dark web markets.

Monero is Pump&Dump of Poloniex.
Ok but not for investment.
?

Monero looks more promising coin.

Litecoin has very loyal investors

"loyal investors" sell on millions every day

If I had the choice to buy only one of the two today, I guess it would be monero. Even if I personally think that LTC is better as a coin than monero, I know that monero has more potential to grow in the future than LTC. Also LTC is a bit overpriced right now, while monero is still underpriced and therefore, has a big chance to pump sooner or later this year. I would consider changing choices if ltc dumps like crazy now.

Really you think Monero has more upside?

I think it's bad branding telling everyone it's so secure you can feel safe that child molestors and cartel drug lords use Monero as their coin of choice.

The obvious response is "what about the children?"

I think LTC while a riskier bet but has way more upside. Monero is not going to shoot to the moon. If it gained any traction people would just beat it down with "what about the children" remarks. Better fundamentals aren't going to overcome a branding issue like that. And it will come

Possible market cap is much lower on Monero IMO

edit - and since i didn't put any caveats in. I like mind altering substances and see the obvious benefit to monero...Just trying to be realistic about it's mass adoption to really go to the moon

Well seeing as LTC has jumped significantly upwards and Monero has slipped downwards since the time the OP posted obviously the best choice to buy today was LTC. Maybe you'll have a better day tomorrow Moneroman88

Suicide "investors" in this topic

...We're Anglos

If there is anything we know how to do...It's speculate

lol

i will choose LTC, its more stable than Monero

If your talking about stability, id go with Litecoin but the technology and concept behind Monero is sound and I think it has a promising future in the crypto game.

Overall, id give Monero a go.

I said this in the Waves vs. LTC thread... but I believe LTC is pegged to BTC.  The only way anything will happen to LTC is if BTC blows up... which is a very slim chance.  The last movement only came with Coinbase support it but that's only going to happen once.  I don't think Monero will be the next big thing but it has a higher chance than LTC... although at a much higher risk.

It will come down to personal use. I like to gamble and between the 2, more gambling websites accept litecoin compared to Monero. I reckon that there are not much gambling sites that accept Monero.

As a personal investment, I like to have both.

The most evil ever done in the entire history has been from state sponsored currency, Monero is money nothing more it can be used for any purpose and that is the real reason for money.

I hold both. But much $$$ and infrastructure associated with LTC. They'll be getting an influx of core talent supporting LTC with the LN and smart contracts.

Good luck selling that while they scream think of the children

Never works

God help all our bank accounts if some Muslims extremist is moving his funds around in BTC or something and gets caught

If I have to choose between the two coins, I prefer LTC to invest in the long run, why I prefer LTC rather than monero, because I believe LTC has a very good future in trading, but it takes a lot of time to see the LTC movement.

The hot trend in recently have Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin, Zcash, but not have Monero??? Anyone in this thread have some predict as me in last year 2017, next trend is cryptonight algo altcoin, I checked XDN has pumped to highest price in past week, so I think next time is trend of Monero and I will choose it.

I think you should but both monero and litecoin. Both of these altcoins have great potential and can show really really good growth in future. You can expect the price of monero above 100$ and price of litecoin above 120$ within a year or so.

LTC is one of the pioneers and is still being used and traded until now. But if you ask me which is really worth investing for a good money, I will go with Monero, the more anonymous brand of coin. LTC has been dwelling on a low level of valuation for quite a while already. They need acceleration.

I say prefer LTC compared to monero. Lots of good news about ltc.

You should buy both, just split it to 50/50

Three weeks latter here is your answer.  do not forget Monero was not added to Coinbase yet. LTC was.

I prefer litecoin than litecoin because the monero already published from the first and until now the price keeps rising so litecoin could be reference choice for investment or trading could generate profits profits significantly

Monero is my choice. When complete privacy or anonymity is on the table, Monero is number 1. And in terms of market, Monero is still a better performer than LTC. Litecoin is an old and trusted coin though. But it seems it badly needs some real and effective hype.

If looking from a price perspective I prefer monero. But when we see or analyze from stable or not. LTC is more stable.

I see LTC more stable in the appeal of monero, it will probably be many who choose the LTC under the provisions of

Monero is better than ltc, just because it is more faster, it has a lot of features that Litecoin doesnt have.
Xmr is one of the most stable altcoins that are on the market right now, i remember when it was around $20 each and everybody said that it would no longer more than a month.
Now it is a few dollars around of $100 each

LTC too stable, if we want to take profit faster i think monero is good to pick. but this is my personal opinion. LTC maybe good for long term but monero can give profit faster

If I choose both because the coin has a good price and good price stability. I also hold the coin and hope both coins are able to have a better price.

Currently LTC sounds more reliable to me, and personally speaking, I got a couple of friends invested in LTC and gaining profit from it few months ago. They've done nothing yet with XMR~ But in the future it's really hard to tell

I'd rather have a share of both. Both are dependable coins and in circulation. Although Monero is more volatile right now because it is actually younger than Litecoin. Litecoin's price is almost not moving but there is profit when long term goal is applied. New coins are hot in the eyes of traders.

I would not buy any of them. Monero is more promising but the price increased so much. Need to be careful
Regarding litecoin, this segwit thing for Bitcoin, and the relative success of Bitcoin Cash made things difficult for Litecoin. I would not buy now.

Zcash  8)

Both are good coin you want to invest long or short term
For long term investment choose LTC

If you plan to hold on for a long time, definitely litecoin. I don't think monero is a very good long term investment.  There is a lot of competition among anon coins, and what happens when bitcoin and litecoin privacy improves?

 :( why so many topic like this... btc vs eth.. xrp or ltc....
 ;D I mean just buy your coin u love

Monero has been stable right until recently. I guess they both are good but for me litecoin is something suitable for a long-term investment whereas monero is just a nice coin one could trade these days with potentially high profit. I also heard that monero is actually innovative and we all no ltc doesn't offer anything btc doesn't have (perhaps only transaction speed and lower fees but it is just a matter of time).

Both coins are good, the coin I will buy will depend on my trading plans. I will buy Monero for long term and LTC for short term.

A strange comparison. Each of these coins has different goals. In Monero, the target is anonymity, Litecoin in essence, an improved bitcoin version

These two are good to invest which offer a profit. But I'll invest in LTC for a long term investment, yes it depends on trading plans of which coin you will put your money.

For me, it is very simple.
LTC is a Bitcoin clone (without any new features) supported only by chinese people.
Monero has a very high asking feature : the anonimity : this feature will be a very important one in the next years.
Then, my choice with no doubt : Monero.

Both coins are good, but I would choose LTC because of Charlie Lee

Monero of course. You can see now how it rising up.
Litecoin is also nice, but it will rise only slowly-slowly in my opinion.

It is a pity that I haven't got monero :(

Litecoin is a good coin, but its very slow increase in its cost makes it a long-term investment option. Unlike litecoin, Monero has a stable but steadily increasing price. Last night monero broke through the record for $ 100 for the first time after listing on Korean Exchange.

Ltc has been around for so long and i guess too much of a long term is just tiresome. Monero now has a good price increase so for im gonna go with Monero in both short and long term. Monero also has good feature that maybe unique to other altcoins. Like its privacy but still I am not so sure about those.

BOTH. you can't compare tomatoes and apple, other than saying both can be eaten.

LTC is my preferred currency when paying and serving micro tasks to people. I use it all he time!
MONERO is my preferred currency for those transactions that just needs to  be 99% private
DEEPONION is my preferred currency for the transactions that needs to be 100% anonymous

Whats the 1 percent of the non privacy? I'm interested in knowing the difference.

Monero only and don't buy ltc. I can suggest buying monero because I like monero as a coin that I can use to make profit, until know. All you have to do is simple, please using long time period to see where the price moving. Don't forget stop loss and money management to minimalize loss and stress. Depends my experience, monero will survive on real market but ltc need hard work and many good news to start speculation. But remember, there's risk we must face it. Good luck and have a nice day.

I prefer Monero, even though Litecoin has the huge market cap.

When you make transactions with monero, sure the sender and receiver are anonymouse, but your connection to the network is revealed (your IP address). DeepOnion coin uses TOR network, so all transactions are hidden, and your ip is never revealed.

Haha,tor has been compromised for years good luck with that jail time you'll be doing.

Anyone that believes Deeponion is even remotely safe should go invest in dash at least you can make profit on that for the lawyers you'll need. :)

I would choose litecoin because it is one of the first coins, and it has segwit and lightning network, has also a good team which don't make untruth announcements like monero.

If like your said, why still have many UG, hacker and business anonymous use Monero for their transaction. You need understand Deepopion just is new coin and can't compare with old coin have a huge community like Monero ;)

Monero and Ltc I can observe it has a potential coins. Ltc is very active and still existing until today and the value is high. If choosing to invest I prefer Monero which value is affordable and Ill choose for long term investment.!

LTC has the rooting earlier and I feel it will rise faster than Monero but Monero has a bright future.

I have 2 coins. But I appreciate XMR

I prefer monero (xmr) when compared to litcoin (ltc) because only this coin is still left in my wallet

XMR maybe have a good future and the price still can raise more than 0.02BTC LTC is just an old coin, but despite being old, litecoin is still in demand by many traders for some reason.

LTC is more stable, but i would go for Monero :)

Monero XMR is better than LTC

Both Monero and Litecoin are relatively good coins for investing with a good prospect for growth in the price. Each has its own characteristics. Among these coins, I would prefer Monero. However, I repeat, both coins with a good future and they will take a worthy place among the altcoys.

Since you are asking me only one from among the two, I would choose Monero. I am choosing Monero because it has been more profitable to do trading with the coin. And then aside from that, updates are saying that Monero is more promising than LTC. Privacy-wise, Monero is number 1.

Monero is more interesting and convincing even if held in longterm than ltc. In essence, both are my favorite altcoins. because from their trade, i can enjoy a good trading income. Also, both have spreading supporters and huge amount daily transactions.

Special, Monero and Litecoin are altcoin have old age on market still cheap price with the potential of them, but at now Monero had increased and prove it the value of it not cheap. Next time, I believe is the cycle of old Altcoin in early this year don't grow more.

I think monero is the my first choice from the two listed coins. There is stability in the coin and I have seen the accelerating growth in the Monero as compared to litecoin. The matter being in the earth since long time still have not able to generate that much market cap if we compare with short period of time for the monero. So with that comparison also monero will go upwards and can bring more profits as compared to ltc.

Lol. Short term I got it really really wrong here... But I don't think the fundamentals have changed and would still pick litecoin over monero every day.  :)

I prefer Monero because this coin is increasing day by day still now 134$ via https://coinmarketcap.com on the other hand Lite Coin is very lazy coin i think and its my personal thinking.All the best for monero.

I will recommend to invest in to Litecoin because it have a better potentital and stabilty and it's really good coin in terms of investment potential i will say that they have similar chances to grow and on coinmarketcup the higher point have ltc

LTC looks more interesting for me, you can see the market cap of the litecoin and it was doubled since the last month. I will believe litecoin is much better than monero because the interest to buy the litecoin is really high comparing with the monero coin. The current marketcap proves it.

Both coins all profitable and everyone deals with cryptocurrencies should have them. But I think for now, if a person wants to invest in one of them, Litecoin is a better choice. Monero has increased in price very much recently and I think will be stable for a while.

Monero in my opinion,it seems to be much more solid than the other,I think I agree with you about LTC.

Definitely Monero, monero show a great movement since lasy year and this year become a stable coin, ltc is not a bad coin but the movement is too slow, ltc is an old coin that supposed to be had become a top coin but as we can see not a lot of people support ltc

I only can say monero because monero is now really popular cryptocurrency and that affected really much on monero price and marketing cap,also monero worth more than ltc so I think that monero will beat because of price which will give more good affects to monero market capital and it will be more interesting for users.I hope that monero can even stole some market capital from dash and get even bigger price then dash in future.

Both projects are really really good and you should invest in both of them. Monero is a completely anonymous coin and with litecoin, you can expect fast developements really really soon. Investment in both can help you reduce risks of market.

I prefer monero only for anonymus purposes. It's a real anonym coin where nobody can see my transactions. This way they can't track me too. But for litecoin, I buy it to earn money from it like an investment.

Monero is the more modern coin. Take Monero over the old LTC since it has way more potential!

Short term is anybodys guess but I feel Litecoin will be the real winner in the future with all the new development around it.

Both is huge overpriced

I guess i'd like monero more than ltc
Because it's completely anonymous other than that because the price is quite good and also the movement is quite good

I think that the price of Litecoin is overpriced too. I purchased LTC when the price was only a couple of dollars and the investors was waiting for that $40+ pump for years and it finally happened. The ride to their very first $40 pump was pretty cool, there were a lot of happy people chatting in the trollbox at that time.
Monero is very overpriced, I would purchase it at a couple cents or a dollar. It is much too expensive to purchase right now. I am not anticipating a dump on the coin though there is kind of only the people holding it to do transactions not for storing.

indeed expensive, but it's very good. the price is very expensive could prove if the coin is really good and deserves to be invested or on hold.

Litecoin is better because it is faster and it has solved many things that bitcoin can not do. AS you can see, litecoin is extremely fast and it has also activated the lightning network. Segwit + lightning network makes litecoin faster than ever and it can easily maintain more than 500 millions of people using litecoin blockchain

If i have to choose LTC or Monero i will make a decisions in 2 situasions:
- Short term: i will choose monero , why? Cause the price of monero doesn't change so much from top to bottom in the chart. So you will earn micro earning by surfing price daily.
- Long term: i will choose LTC, why? The system of LTC is much better than Monero , their rank is 5 when monero is only 8, and the market cap of ltc already reachs to 3.5 billions dollar when monero only at 1.7 millions.

Today and right now I will choose Litecoin. This is having more potential, and the exchange rate is also very high. The last couple of weeks the price is varying very high margin to compare Monero. And rank wise also yes it is in top position to compare Monero and other altcoins. I think it will reach $100+ before entering the new year.

Litecoin or Monero are good coins, there are not have lazy altcoin lol ;D! Only the community and traders on the market want pump Litecoin or Monero, they can make the price of them change much. Litecoin also has a bullish cycle in earlier of this year (in March - June).

i believe choose to Monero its so look good and good roadmap.
so if have to choice so i choose monero. but may choose 2 i choose both

Slightly off topic, but please forgive me. Monero or Zcash? Both are anonymous and pretty established coins?

litecoin has more transactions thamn monero because of having a lower transaction fee. Litecoin has more more advantages and has more than hash rate.

Monero. Simply for the fact that it brings something new to the table (privacy, confidentiality, CPU minable), unlike LTC which is pretty much just BTC's little brother.

Definitely Monero. Anonymity will be much more important in the future, and Litecoin doesn't offer enough difference from bitcoin to be worth it.

I like how the question Monero or Litecoin was posed by "Moneroman" :D

Maybe there is a similar thread started by "Litecoinman" - but that wouldn't have many replies because Monero is better :D

XMR will rule it all. I've seen a thread about LTC being controlled like a puppet and being dumped around, this can never happen to monero!

Why not both? :)

BOTH!!! Buy LTC for those normal every day transactions, and buy monero when you want to hide your butt from the government

I choose monero and the reason is simple. First, price action and volume always stable even sometime they get lower price and volume. Second, not much news about monero become main indicator about trust. Last one, for the last 4 month, monero give profit almost 40% from my money. I'll replace my trust with monero. Thank you.

Two different things for different people.

But at least Monero is innovative, so more suitable for rises in the future

I think litecoin is quite overpriced, and monero has much more room for increasing its market cap.

Well, no need to use brains on this really issue. So, why tried raising it nonetheless?  ??? I don't think everyone will go for Monero though, but I am choosing it over Litecoin for sure. And if you made this into a survey so that both fandom of LTC and Monero are able to vote, I know Monero will win.

i think from NoW i should say XMR , LTC might not pump soon but XMR seem to have great future so you can Jump into XMT+R and can invest freely
if you want to invest New crypto then go for BlackMOon which will give you best short

Thanks
Regrads

Both have there uses however people that are more privacy driven will obviously pick Monero and those who go for more conventional coins will obviously go for Litecoin.

I think both projects are very promising and it is worth splitting your investment between them.

these two coins are very good, but I think litecoin is still superior to monero,  :)
monero is the end of many who use it  :)

What's the point? You can use XMR for normal day transactions.
LTC - I don't think there's much to say about. There's nothing new with regard to BTC.

me too i would rather choose ltc rather than monero even so monero has a higher price. i believe soon lts will rise such as bch.

Monero transaction fees are really huge.
But its good for monero miners. Monero is offering anonym transactions and thats why people using monero.
For who wants to hide their transactions its a good choice. But for me its over my budget so i will only trade monero not use for transactions.

I would go for LITECOIN. LTC is a very stable coin with investors that are very loyal to it.

I think u can buy both of them. safer. they are good coin

Personally monero for the privacy, but both seem good options

I prefer Monero because of privacy and anonymity they give. LTC also is an old and good altcoin. Maybe you better have both of them if you can.

LTC and Monero are two completely different project and can't therefore be compared

Monero has a focus on privacy while LTC is a Bitcoin competitor for more efficient payments. You should buy something based on what you believe has more value

I'm not familiar with Monero, so I prefer to buy LTC if I have budgets.
LTC have been hanging around for long time and have good support from comunity.

Better to keep litecoin (LTC) because he is an old coin and the price is stable is perfect for temporary storage. But if glance monero (XMR) has more value in terms of security. But if I choose I will side with litecoin because it is more efficient

Better to keep monero they are used for darkweeb so their price will rice more

If i have to choose one, I will be patient to hold more for Monero. Because for me it's more convincing than LTC. In fact, i have gained much advantage from holding both. But in essence, holding one or both. For me there's no worry because they're very good potential in the future.

That’s hard to say, because Litecoin and Monero kind of touch on different markets and both seem to have a nice future. If I had to choose one then I would go for Monero because it’s backed by demand and unique software, but I would just rather choose to hold both.

I know you said pick 1 .... but I would do half / half as they are both very different.

I would choose to buy monero because it would be a better investment
