Any ones are investing in litecoin for higher price in long time? I am thinking to move to btc instead of keeping my ltc? I bought ltc at $80 :((

In my opinion, the best think you can do is wait. Do not panic after prices fall. Soon the prices will start to rise again, when it happens, litecoin will be one of most attractive coins for all investors. because it has not increased in price yet like what happened to other major altcoins such as Ethereum, Dash and Monero.

I have some investment in both btc and ltc and plan to just hold both. I believe both prices will reach new heights following my plan so I aim to ride out any dips and not trade

I think Bitcoin is more profitable than Litecoin in terms of holding. But do not just take Litecoin for granted. You better have a share of LTC as well. That is not a bad coin although a lot similar to bitcoin really in terms of its features. No very unique features that make it stand out.

just a friendly advise OP ltc is down together with btc so if you will sell it out it by now you will lose money better to hold and wait  things will be
bright again after some time, ltc hace some offer they are just waiting for some updates and the value will surely rise back again.

If you already have ltc, then just wait and hold. You would regret that if you sell now, ltc are good for long term investments anyway. You can always have a different investment for bitcoin or other coins like ethereum to keep your portfolio diverse.

I think the right decision to move some bitcoin assets to litecoin,
litecoin is also one of the favorite tokens

You can switch from ltc to btc and I think it will be good for you, you have bought litecoin almost at the its highest price or sell it and buy another undervalued coin.

I think is it better to move to ETH than BITCOIN, actually I don't know how much LTC are you holding, but unless you have at lesat 1000 the best move is ETH

Yes, i have btc also. Just thinking to sell all of ltc and invest more in btc. Sell ltc with low price but i can buy btc with low price also.

yes I think your decision is right, because bitcoin prices are decreasing every day,
because china prohibits the trading of bitcoin

A combination of both would be best. But dont trust that ltc will shoot back up to its ATH anytime soon. Once the chinese exchanges are closed then unless they can manage to get their money abroad to another exchange it might take a while to build up momentum again

Atomic swaps are already working, however it still needs polishing. But it just a matter of time. In my opinion, you're too late to cut your losses now. I suggest to hold it for few more weeks. As the charts already looks bottomish to me.

first of all you bought in the bubble. price went from $4 up after all!

secondly you don't move from xyz to bitcoin. lol. you should already have bitcoin and then have some of that bitcoin in xyz for profit. here in LTC while it was rising and then pull out back to bitcoin and then invest in the next altcoin then pull out back to bitcoin and so on.

People, who are investing in LTC, expect hard price speculation from Chinese market makers for LTC's rise, but this is not likely to happen in the near future. The atmosphere in China's side is so complicated now.

I invested in 10 ltc yesterday @ $50, sad to see it drop already but to HODL is to succeed 

If you really want to earn fast bitcoin you can transfer at BTC, but it totally depends on you because that's your investment but if you have the patience to wait and have the will that LTC will increase in the future then just wait for it. When investing you need to be patient and understand that it is not going to be all the time that you will earn that's why when you invest there are risks just like in gambling but in investing you can see your money grow each time, patience is they key. In the end it totally depends on you, if it was me I will just wait until the price will increase again in LTC than moving to BTC, I would just invest different money for BTC and wait till LTC increases again.

I agree with you, the faster moving bitcoin, whereas litecoin is quite slow. bitcoin is clearly larger so it is better to hold bitcoin if for long term, even for short term bitcoin is also good.

I also think A combination of both would be best.

Inddeed,  BTc remains the safe haven value in cryptocurrencu and LTC has not seen its price rise as DASH or ETH. there is therefore a good potential

I see Ltc can hit 200$ in next months
Also Ethereum will hit at least 500$ soon
But I would prefer ethereum than ltc
Good luck

Dont be panic dear.just wait and see.i think ltc again going back 80$ .After china ico ban news all alt coin down with btc.in this situation patient and dont panic is your best friends.so i think dont sell your coin after coin price fall.

Looks like you bought at the top of litecoin. It would be advisable to forget the money you initially put into LTC, take 70% of that out of this and find some new projects that are not over hyped and diversify your money into those. Also do not over diversify, I have usually 5-7 alts that I maintain at a single point of time.

You're suggesting that ETH will increase about 94 percent in value and that LTC will increase about 340 percent in value. Then you state that you would prefer the smaller return.

Yes i believed in LTC after Charlee Lee quited Coinbase to focus full time on LTC. I think i will wait until the price increases again then sell and move all to BTC.

If you ask me I would advice you to buy eth. Btc has already grown quite high and ltc is too unstable to invest in. Eth on the other hand has a lot of potential and moreover is base for many altcoins and ICO it will surely grow in near future.

people usually (pretend to ) see good things in the coins they are heavily invested in without any logic. some may call it delusion even. sometimes they come true with a simple pump sometimes they are left holding bags for months.

You bought at $80, LTC price now is $45. I think it is better to keep your LTC and wait the surge, because LTC price will grow when Bitcoin price grow. moving your coins to Bitcoin at 50% loss is bad decision in my opinion.

LTC is very dangerous for this condition. Because their investor was from china and we should wait china regulation.

You did a panic buying and got the coin at an ATH. Even if you sell them off now you are likely going to incur over $30 lose per coin. Such is life. You may even burn yourself again if you buy into Bitcoin now as this isn't the right time to buy. Wait till after the correction and the FUD branded around as a result of the Chinese regulation on cryptocurrency.

I think you're so late to decide that you will move your ltc into btc because it is very close now into bullrun month i think before october or after september altcoins will comeback to it's real price like in past few months don't panic sell better to hold your coins and wait till it goes to the moon because if you will get panic i think you're going to late to ride alts mooning again but it depends on you if you think i will dump more better to turn your ltc into btc but if you're not sure better to hold your coins.

Invest in both! That is the best practice. Besides, don't forget that when one goes up the other follows!

invest to BTC always is winner , with low price we buy it so cheap

 as soon as it will rising up and nothing stop it

If you've been following pricing LTC has been 2 to 8 percent higher price on Western Exchanges since last January. There has been a shift from Chinese to Western exchanges happening for sometime. I get that historically the Chinese were leading the way; but, that no longer seems to be the case. LTC is even being added to various IRA funds in the US. Something to pay attention to, as with all things crypto based it's important not to have stagnant opinions based on information from several years back.

don't panic just hold your coins and be peteince all coins now are in troubles due to china banned effect to altcoin fall down, but for my prediction and i believe the importance of bitcoin and altcoin are goes uprise again in the world or cryptocurrency as decentralized many more people promoting bitcoin to become currency in own locality.

LTC actually has great potential. Hold onto it and buy more if you can!

Invest both is good as this will gives a profit even holding for a long term. Buy more if you can invest ltc and btc they bring a good development in the future.

What ltc fundamentals make it more interesting now?

In the past there were Segwit and other innovations, but now Bitcoin has them too

For a few months investments maybe its better to invest in litecoin.But for a long term investment (a few years) Bitcoin is definitely better. Even if litecoin is stable and it promises a  lot I dont trust it for a long term.  Move your 75% of your investments in bitcoin and the rest in altcoins.

You're fucking up bad if you get into LTC. BTC and LTC are dying coins in 2018. They are useless dogshit destroyed by Core. You should be getting into Bitcoin Cash at the ground floor here. It's the future of crypto. Will kill off pretty much every altcoin.

never buy at the top. i would just hodl but it could take a while for it to reach that price again. you should be buying ltc now or wait for it to dip even lower.

$80 a coin... that's really high. I would be ready to hodl for years. By looking at the all time graph, you may be holding for a long time until you see an all time high. Your best bet is that Litecoin regains importance thanks to the lightning network, payment channels and interactions between blockchains. This may pump the price, or when the next time that bitcoin goes through harsh times like during the activation of segwit, Litecoin may get that update before Bitcoin and it may pump its price, so maybe if you are able to hold for a long time you may not sell at a loss.

You do understand that Bitcoin Cash by increasing blocksize became more like litecoin? It can handle as many transaction in a second now as LTC can, just with a much slower confirmation time (sometimes very much slower because of the emergency difficulty adjustment bug). Even bitcoin by adding segwit has become more like litecoin.

Unfortunately, neither side was able to adopt all the improvements that LTC represents. At least by adopting some of the characteristics of litecoin both BTC and BCH are better for it. Likely, litecoin will continue in its leadership role and that can only be good for the BTC/BCH communities.

This is a bad joke. LTC is another Blockstream Core scam coin.

Journey far enough if should go back to $80 for ltc. But i am sure, that value will be touched again one day. Because the price always back and forth. if i becomes you, I will let it or atleast trade it so can minimize losses.

I would say keep both. They are tied together, and if one has success I think the other will follow. Many say LTC is like silver and BTC is like gold. They use this analogy to compare both values. So of course investing in BTC is better, but I don't think LTC will ever lose it's value. So if everyone is waiting for BTC to reach $500k then LTC won't stay in $80 for sure.

WEll, you have joint the litecoin quite late and I believe that you should hold instead of selling your litecoin right now. The hype is over now and I think that litecoin needs few more months to recover and develop. Therefore, dont lose hope. The price which you bought litecoin is quite high but if you are patient, you can x2 your balance in the future

It's best just to wait, as you can see almost everything is falling nowadays which might be the effect of ICO banning in China. Just wait for issues to be cleared and for prices to recover before rushing a decision. It's not good to panic when price fall down, because you might regret it when price recovers.

I would just hold on , you bought on a high price.
You can buy more to get your cost average down if you want.

I think you should not loss your patience because here you are going to make big mistake .
As you said that you bought at $80/ltc , so here if you will move toward the bitcoin by selling your litecoin then you will make loss of 53% because currently the price is about $47/ltc , so you can understand well that how much degree of the loss you will face .
Here you need to follow the basic trick of the stretagy that don't sell your coin at loss , wait until its price get reach to high that at what you bought .
Here i already waited for a coin 1 year + for 1337 coin to make profit and also i made much .
So don't loose your patience until you reach at the goal .
So it is more better for you to hold you litecoin in your wallet , and wait until it get up and you make profit in decent amount .

You just need to wait until it gets back above $80 or better new highs above $100 before selling
and putting into any other coin. Buying high and selling low is going to erode any portfolio value fast.
LTC is more volatile than BTC both up and down so will go up faster than BTC anyway.

HODL both.  The %s are up to you but they are two of the top coins that should be in any portfolio IMO.

Hold your coins that are down. Whole market is red now. So selling means you lose Money.  Just wait and see if you can invest some more to drive the average price down you bought for. That way it doesn't need to be as high to sell for profit.

OMG. How can you not lucky. Better not move to bitcoin now, soon it will crash to$ 2000. Better to just forget about your LTC for a year and it will cost more than $200  :)

Many people are investing in litecoin because it is trusted and the price of litecoin will go very high in upcoming days so i would suggest people to invest in litecoin and because the price is also going high.

There's a point to not giving that Litecoin away because it could be worth much more than it is right now. Hold!! Just a little longer!

If it happened to me, I would prefer to be patient and wait. I believe in the bright future of ltc, it is a good coin. Also lightning network might help to increase the price.

I have the same opinion about this coin.

Holding rule is not only for litecoin, it's also for bitcoin too. We can't achieve our targets without holding them in long term. The short term will be red market manipulated by some groups.

You bought ltc almost on peak price nearly on 100 usd  and now you are already losing almost 50% on the money you did invest.If i were you i do have the money still i would decide to hold up those ltc i do have and forget them for long and focus on other coins.But if you do urgently need of money then its your decision to sell on loss.

I diversified out a percentage of my holdings to Litecoin recently, when it was about the same price as your $80. I was very happy when it almost touched $100, but then realised the same would have happened if I held my Bitcoin. Then the big dipper happened.

Bitcoin seems to have recovered, but not Litecoin, unfortunately :( But I still have strong faith in this unique alt. Now seems a good time to buy more, but I do want another alt to have in my portfolio.
