Bitcoin Forum

At the beginning of August, there is LTC halving. Does Btc and ltc move together or does ltc increase independently?

The dev team of both coins move independently from each other and have their own timeline or target to follow.

Or are you referring to the their price? if so, then I'd say it's the market that decides.

It's mostly(not 100% of the time):

BTC rises in price --> alts rise in price
BTC drops in price --> alts drop harder
alts rise in price --> BTC stays stagnant

The market determines their prices, LTC, and Bitcoin all have their development directions. Currently, the Cryptocurrency community is concentrating on promoting Bitcoin prices, so its costs are rising rapidly over the past few days. I believe LTC will soon receive support from the community and its price will increase sharply in a short time.

I predict that Bitcoin's parabolic pattern could be finished before August 2019. If my prediction is true then now is not a good time to buy LTC. I plan to buy Litecoin before the LTC halving but only a few days before it happens. Then I will sell on top of the price bump. Either way, I am playing it safe and going to make a profit.

I didn't know that LTC has also a halving method? When bitcoin halves, its price increases. I remember the 2nd halve of bitcoin and I think that this 3rd halve will take place at 2020. Will LTC's price will increase also with its halve? And/or will it affect other cryptocurrency's price?

ltc will grow but how and when no one knows

It has increased on its own for the past months but I think it's now increasing together with bitcoin. Sometimes it does on its own and there are times that it don't.

It might be and for the schedule --> https://www.litecoinblockhalf.com/

For me, Litecoin's price(actually almost all of the altcoins) is still dependent on Bitcoin because when you look at the price graphs of these two they're almost the same.

i dont think and it should not affect btc price since they are 2 diffrent cryptos, but this market has done crazier shit than that before so you never know, but as i said it should not affect it.

I personally don't care about price fluctuation, I stick to investing on a legitimate platform like https://allcoinvest.com which pays me double of my invested capital in 7 days or I buy hash power for mining using https://genesis-mining.com, all this have been doing for some years now and have helped me raised more than a million dollar i will recommend the same for everyone don't rely on just mooning get into investment, mining or trading you can earn in a few months what others will take years to earn waiting for the big moon

I think you are right about the correlations. But I'd like to add Bitcoin dominance into the picture. When altcoins rise along with Bitcoin, there's a tendency of BTC dominance getting lower. In general, lower dominance means bullish market. When Bitcoin goes down, alts are hit even more, because people trust in them even less than they do in BTC, and Bitcoin's dominance grows. And I am not sure about your last point. I think that when the dominance is low, the correlations become less regular and obvious, so Bitcoin can grow, stay the same or drop a bit while alts are going up.

Bitcoin halving will be occurs on September next year but I am not sure when the litecoin halving will fall. So prepare for it and make your investment on LTC as early as possible.
Then I have heard they are planning to launch the debit card with the collaboration of some companies.

Litecoin halving is in 43 days. Litecoin Clock below:

https://www.litecoinblockhalf.com/ (https://www.litecoinblockhalf.com/)

My 'hope' is with mimblewimble anonymous protocol being added to the Litecoin Wallet and the halving from 25 LTC to 12.5 LTC in block reward and also "supposed" I heard

today of an LTC 'debit card' in the works. That Litecoin will at least be above and stable over $200 USD. The reasoning is that Litecoin at $200 or above is NOT that far fetched

when you consider the 'train wreck', IMHO, of Bitcoin Cash ($480.40) and Bitcoin SV ($239.19). Again, IMHO, you'd certainly think with the 'halving' and mimblewimble alone

that Litecoin could sustain $200 to $300 price range on the block reward halving.

So my logic goes in buying 343 LTC on such a 'bet' starting on 4/9/19. So far it is looking WAY better than I expected.

Anyway, my long term HODL plan for LTC till halving and beyond.

Gradually LTC halving is having impact on its price, which is a sign of good omen that it will be well impacted as it is near.
Investing in it now is more like an opportunity which one  should not be lost and if lost, it might not be regained as supposed

the ltc price will move independently and maybe only slightly affected fall and increase the btc price but that won't be too significant.
and i am buy a little amount LTC before the halving.

once the payments are halved, the price of the token should grow, there will be less coins in circulation, the demand will remain the same or increase and the holders will increase the price accordingly.

I would define it as other words although it's almost same as you define.
BTC rise- Altcoin rise
BTC drop- Altcoin drop as well
BTC stable after rise- Altcoin get pumped.
Both of the define is same though but altcoins get pumped once after BTC starts to get stable after a huge pump, BTC doesn't get stable because altcoin start to rise.

yes that's true, LTC is one of the families of BTC. they are both including crypto who serve the public but they have differences where the LTC services are faster than BTC.

sometimes btc rise at the cost of alts, when not much fiat is coming (total marketcap stagnant)
alts rise in price and BTC stays stagnant when people are converting profits into alts.

LTC halving will definitely increase with the support of an increasingly good market situation. It's better to prepare your litecoin stock from now before the price really rises and you regret it.


BTC prices rose then stagnated after the altcoin price rose
BTC prices fell then after the altcoin price also dropped
so far I have seen this market pattern in the crypto market.

You can see for yourself that Bitcoin has increased earlier than LTC. So this crypto market is now very good. Not only happens to LTC, most altcoins have increased. So Bitcoin, LTC and other cryptocurrecny will simultaneously increase in the future.

Ltc is now in a bullish trend , I think this coin is clearly suitable for investment in a long period , as the price can clearly come to the level of$1000.

Altcoins moves together with bitcoin, altcoins follow the trend of bitcoin so I think this halving will create pump with LTC so it means it will become an expensive coin too. But we don't know yet, though I'm confident about LTC the situation can't change its destiny, if LTC goes high then its meant to be but if its not and remain the same for the rest of the year its ok, because its future will still be ok.

I think this is expected for LTC to grow, I wonder what if ETH will also half? If it does, will it have a price the same as btc?

ltc is also useful coin and supported by many miners and halving of ltc will happen first before bitcoin so im not shock if the price of it rise multiple times because of halving so for now we can say it increase independtly but later it will depend again in bitcoin.

Price should grow to attract miners to mine Litecoin. It would be nice to see what happen to Litecoin and then we will know more hwo price will react on Bitcoin´s halving.  8)

I doubt it is going to attract new miners after halving. Litecoin price already climbed higher levels due to expected halving,so pro investors no wait for the reaction by market traders in order to buy more Litecoins.

I think all of us are waiting for that time to see ltc and bitcoin increase together so we could make a bigger profit from both coins. We have 2 months later to see ltc halving, and usually, it could make the price can increase to the higher price. We already saw bitcoin price could increase in this month, so we will see ltc price could go following bitcoin to increase.

Personally, I like Litecoin very much and I consider it one of the best altcoins.  Because he is strong enough to compete ethereum.

On another note the Diff of LTC is starting to bump again we are looking at a 10-12% up in Diff in a few days if this hashrate that's arrived on the network decides to stick around..  Goodbye 102% PPS

I believe that by the end of the summer Litecoin will definitely be twice as large as it is now.  Moreover, the projected growth of altcoins after bitcoin correction.

I think during the litecoin halving period, litecoin will greatly spike in price and I think it will also influence the price of bitcoin and altcoins positively.

What do you think guys about buying ltc/btc pair? It has dropped drastically, so I think that to upcoming halving price is gonna rebounce.
And growth is expected to be stronger compared to other alt/btc pair

I was hoping that using the example of ltc halving, then expect the same when there will be a bitcoin halving, and to be honest I’m waiting for a lightcoin around $ 200

I agree, if miners are planning to mine Litecoin now should be a good time do it since there's still more than a month left(estimate) better take advantage of the higher reward now than wait after it gets reduced.


There could be an increase after the halving but I wouldn't expect a significant change because last litecoin halving there wasn't a big jump, most of it came from Bitcoin during 2017.

if they start from now and collect much litecoin they will get much profits when halving done in august.miners reward will reduced and it will bring positive  effect to litecoin price.maybe the same thing will happen to bitcoin next year.

There's no doubt that LTC is doing great this year 2019. As bitcoin approaching $11,000, LTC is expected to follow. Now, with the halving news this August, expect a good increase that time.

Yes, I am looking forward to it now, and continue to buy it, because at this time the price is still cheap, and if the halving happens the price will increase, because the LTC reward will be deducted. This can increase prices, just like the previous halving Bitcoin.

Those are both are different, there are have self line to growing up.
Litecoin have price below than bitcoin, aren't same together when people sell ltc to btc.
possible when have fresh money and buy ltc other

Since the beginning of 2019, I have noticed that LTC often increases prices first then BTC, so I think this scenario may happen again.

actually it has been the other way around meaning bitcoin rises and then litecoin follows. if you are looking at the price of it against bitcoin. if you look at the price against USD then bitcoin rises and litecoin rises at the same time which is a misleading thing.
in case of halving, litecoin will move on its own because it is an event that will only affect litecoin and pumpers are waiting for the chance to build up the hype and pump it hard.

It was in the past that these altcoins like Litecoin are independent in movement, I guess when their hype was till much and people wants to invest in Litecoin so much, but ever since the market went bearish, majority of these altcoins including Litecoin has always been dependent on Bitcoin movement for their own growth too, and I don’t think its halving will still make any difference too.

It is only Bitcoin bull run that now does assist some of these altcoins to grow. So the only halving that I expect to really still work in favor of Litecoin is Bitcoin halving, which will be next year, but let me still not completely conclude until we witness it, august is almost here.

If I am to rephrase your statement, I think it should be “ Bitcoin is now in bullish trend”, so altcoins like Litecoin may be suitable for investment now as we have confidence that Bitcoin will continue to increase, and since altcoins grows along with Bitcoin, it will be cheaper for people to buy these altcoins, but we shouldn’t look at the cheapness, we need to consider the percentage increase.

I think percentage increase of Bitcoin is still far higher than these coins, so I would still rather prefer to buy certain portion of Bitcoin which will give me more profit than to invest in those altcoins that are moving along with Bitcoin.

If these projects were really working and doing everything possible to show their product as being very useful, they would all have been self-supportive, but now, people still desire to use Bitcoin for most of their dealings, from payment to investment and many more purposes that Bitcoin can serve.

These other altcoins that promises lots of solution are still not meeting up to what they promised, and people have not seen any reason to hold on to them that much, so people rather use them for alternative investment to Bitcoin, which is why they are still getting their value, if Bitcoin dies today, I guess most of these coins like LTC will die along with it because they are not being self-supportive.

Definitely independent. Because both are not related to each other. Market will determine their prices, we can not interfere.

The reduced of rewards will give some hints for investors to expect that value will grow after this halving, there's some good movements for Bitcoin and the next will comes up for alts, LTC will be able to catch up with the train and the ride will soon to happen and brings investors a lots of profits.

Right now that the crypto market is taking steam. I believe we can see lots of fomo in the next few months plus the fact that this ltc halving will happened in august, it will make the prices of alts much faster to climb i believe.

Probably it will looks like previous halving. When the price went up till halving and went down after. But will see in few month would LTC repeat the previous pattern

Reportedly in August this year the LTC will be halving, but currently the price of the LTC falls once, reaching 95k sat ... Will in the near future be back up with other altcoins. I hope that LTC can fly high before halving.

Does anyone have a chart or some sort of price visual and timeline from the last halving of Litecoin?

Maybe because bitcoin price is now experiencing a hard pump up
Im not an expert but ltc will make a huge pump before or after this halving just be make sure before everything happen you have a good hold of ltc.

LTC moves independently dude and you can see it from the market, LTC-BTC and all ALT IMO have the price of each not only LTC but its true if BTC up all ALT will follow it right.

It is not give anything to the movement price of bitcoin, the halving just give an effect to the coin itself.

I have read several news about LTC halving and most of them says LTC price will goes up even will pass the ATH at 2017 ago.

For me Litecoin is like miniature of bitcoin, because in the side of function Litecoin try to perfecting of bitcoin, such as on the process of transaction per minute.

Even some expert says Litecoin was gave to everyone who doesn't able to buy bitcoin because it is price has been expensive, different with Litecoin which still has a lower price.

Many people hope that litecoin halving can push the price to increase higher because the reward for the miner is reduced. I hope that the price will be as ethereum price or dash price but I still waiting for that moment to happen later. Yes, the market will decide how much the litecoin price will be, and we could only follow the market and take the profit before we lose the chance.

Today, LTC and other altcoins are just followers of bitcoin. Since these cryptocurrencies are still very weak in financial terms. I want to believe that LTC will be able to separate from bitcoin. But I think that this will be not soon. And most likely it will happen in years.

I doubt price will increase after the halving due to the fact about current market conditions. Halving will not be able to drive price upper levels. Litecoin has a potential to pass the $500 for this year but halving is not enough factor for this price target.

Yes, and currently Litecoin prices do not have signs that will increase sharply, prices currently tend to be stable, even before a few more months to halving, so we don't rush to buy it, if we are not sure.

I think they will be in line. If the price of BTC rises, of course LTC also rises. The advantage of holding a coin that exchanges with BTC is that holding an altcoin is the same as holding BTC.

When BTC increases, LTC increases together i think, because halving will create more opportunity, and the demand will be more higher, so i believe there could a significant increase of the the prices of both coins instead.

Halving will decrease the inflation and i think the demand will be the same but with less inflation and people can buy more litecoin and this will significantly increase the price. The halving of litecoin has done its first increase and we are still waiting for the next phase of bullish for litecoin but that will not give any impact to the bitcoin.

I think that the price is very high at the moment. And LTC can fall in price by 30-40%. I bought it for $ 40 this year.

August is already near. It is now a month and just few days to the time, yet LTC is still crawling. My believe is that, two months prior to the announcement of the actual news or update of a coin, we ought to have started seeing the impact.
If nothing happens, at least to show for it by next month, which us July, then there is no likelihood the growth is impacted.

This is my reason for supporting Litecoin, I plan to hold some litecoin to be invested and wait for halving to happen.
in the next few months Litecoin will increase dramatically.

It all depends on where the market will move if the market continues with this situation. I am sure that LTC will increase rapidly because so many large companies have already received cryptocurrency which makes the market healthier.

that is very likely, if trade increases and the supply decreases it will be a tremendous increase. now many people also hold ltc before halving happens. because after that the price will definitely become more expensive.

Not always increase together because I see that when bitcoin increases, litecoin decrease for a small price but then it will increase again if bitcoin make a stable for a moment. But yes, we can hope that if the halving comes, it will give a chance for litecoin to increase higher. I hope that the litecoin price can increase more than ethereum so litecoin can compete with ethereum like the other coins. But I know that will be hard to compete with the one strong coin in the market.

If you look back to the previous halving of LTC and BTC, than the price always increased!
Even after the halving, I will keep holding my LTC, because I trust Charlie Lee and I think much more features will come in this coming months/years.

Only 36 days to go https://www.coingecko.com/en/explain/litecoin_halving

I do disagree with "holding an altcoin is the same as holding Bitcoin" From experience we understand that most time when Bitcoin get bullish some other altcoins get bullish too but not at the same rate. For example litecoin has gained over 400% this year and Bitcoin has not yielded up that amount yet. Sometime bitcoin will be completely bullish why some altcoins will not even react.

usually when there is a halving day from a coin then the price will rise to be expensive, you should be able to use litecoin as much as possible to buy at this time and you can sell litecoin when halving is going on and enjoy as much profit as possible.

maybe Litecoin just increase the price because i think demand in market will increase signifant because this is a big moment for Litecoin and many investor are bought Ltc

I still do not feel any frenzy about the Litecoin halving and its looking a bit dissimilar to what it was the past time. Or maybe it's too early to judge. Secondly, both btc and ltc are quite independent despite the fact that ltc traces back to btc but then it's still an altcoin

That's the thing, LTC is still an altcoins and the pump so far is most on bitcoins, we see some altcoins rises but it does not remain consistent.

However, I still believe that LTC are doing well lately,.
Try to check that graph and maybe you'll satisfy yourself, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/#charts

Unless you have a very big expectation but the graph is looking good, LTC having significant increases as well.

Too early to judge, in my opinion. Although past performance does nor equate to a success in the future, but judging from its past halving, LTC did quite good, to be honest. Other's have said that LTC is going to die, guinea pig for its big brother BTC, but so far it is holding on its own. So personally, I think something big will happen after the halving and it might go near or even top its previous all-time-high.

LTC normally moves with the price of bitcoin but I have observed it dips during a general bull run.
I think its price performance after the halving will largely depends on Bitcoin/general market conditions and it also depends on how  it performed during previous halving.
Guess it will move up a bit if it's over valued before the halving or make a massive gains If  under valued .

Litecoin is not dying that easily simply because it is a very old coin that has succeeded this long and more importantly because it has a couple of good developers who are working on it hard.
but also it is not dying because other altcoins are practically just as useless as LTC without that much to offer so there is no alternative to replace it with.

What I'm really interested on tackling is its performance prior to halving as it's our chance to make trades profitable in this short term.

Bitcoin is bullish this year but LTC is also doing the same.
At the start of he year, LTC was only 37 usd now but it has reached as high as $139 this year already, that's more than the increase bitcoin did this year so far.

Hard to say whether the market will be boomed away after the halving but like what you've said there's always chances there's supporters who wanted to take the advantage and take the risk of investing,  there's an open opportunities you need to make your move and take the step bringing good value to your invested money.

Projects may do halving from now till eternity and it would still not have any effect on them if they don’t work so hard to always encourage people out there to continuously use their product, and the only way people can be encouraged to use such product is when they are able to really proffer solution to a problem that is most common with people.

The reason why some projects do fail is that they come up with solutions to problem that is just affecting or limited to few people, and they are not able to expand globally because their solution has no use to so many people that would have seen to the success of such project, so Litecoin should stop relying on halving to encourage people to invest, but they need to do better and upgrade their product to meet the needs of people globally and not the few people that are already in their circle.

Halving will have a big influence on Litecoin prices, therefore this is a very good opportunity for you if you want to invest in Litecoin.

For me I still believe that Litecoin still has more life in it, in this recovery market so far, it has outperformed BTC but most people do not know and I believe in coming days attention would move to Litecoin pricing the incoming halving into it, LTC still has many strong holders and as long as BTC lives, LTC will continue to ride on its strength

That is why the price of LTC has good growth, even though from the beginning of the year the market was in a bad condition. but the amount of growth after halving we will not know. we can only see after the moment has happened. we have to see the market after that, maybe, a big pump will happen.

Maybe crypto world experts have predicted when there will be bullrun or prices rise to higher levels, and btc and ltc that have a lot to estimate two coins, but no one knows exactly what will happen in the future, it seems we have to be optimistic only.

In my opinion, the value of LTC is always dependent on BTC. Currently the altcoins are greatly affected by the BTC discount in recent days.
My guess about this market is right in the past days. all are traps. Do not try to buy more or DCA anymore, it will not work. I think that the price of BTC will continue to fall to $ 9k5 and the LTC will decrease to only $ 105. LTC halving will no longer be hot when the price of BTC drops sharply below $ 9k5.

optimistic? obviously we must be optimistic about the increase that will occur in the LTC. if you think rationally, if an asset experiences halving, of course inventory decreases and the price should also increase.

With previous halving times

What does that chart say about LTC halving?

What happened after the first LTC halving (August 2015)?
https://i.imgur.com/0QE3bBH.jpg

You forget what must be happened after halving time. Remember that will always be the short term hype and no more. You can feel optimistic about that but not with the market. when the market was seeing a big pressure from bitcoin and they will be leaving litecoin gradually and this is happening right now and you can see that dude. How litecoin slowly moving to the $100 again or even less from time to the time.

maybe litecoin will grow and hit more than $200 in value before the halving event my friend
and for sure bitcoin will grow to, so, my answer both crypto will grow together with others good altcoins project

We still have 1 month to achieve the peak price for LTC but if the price of bitcoin stays below the support level then I believe its too impossible for LTC to rise high. Altcoins depend on bitcoin but not always, we might see different trend after the halving but I’m not sure to see a big pump on LTC before the end of July because the market are down at the moment.

If I remember correctly the last halving Litecoin did not do much for a while, price-wise, etc. Soon after halving, as an example of the dates below.

August 2015, using the 8/31/15 date as to when Litecoin Halved, (from what I can tell) from the www.coinmarketcap.com (http://www.coinmarketcap.com) site.

The end of August 2015 Litecoin was $3.81 USD.

From that date of 8/30/15 till say 3/1/17 the price was $3.80 USD.

That is almost exactly 1.5 years later, way after the halving!

Thus nothing really happened from the halving of any note, in that it almost exactly the same price, then the price went up, after that point in time!

So, I'd prepare for the same 'silliness' this time around. Could be whatever Litecoin price we have today is the same as the Litecoin price we will have 1.5 years from now.

Brad

Well I think you're wrong because you forget they're implementing Mimble Wimble with the Beam team above LTC!

I believe the best base level of Bitcoin and litecoin growth in the time of halving will be same. If you are a trader or investor you don't need to wait for kindly take attension over litecoin and make your first investment in this cryptocurrency.
Independence growth of this coin will not perform alone definitely between support will be a great thing for them.

especially if we see who is the developer of Litecoin, that's charlie lee, where he is have huge name in crypto community and ex Coinbase director.
Litecoin still surviving and one of the old coin still live untill today beside Doge, Dash and etc

I mentioned that they need to do that asap in a previous post on here. LTC Foundation has, IMHO, in the past 'tended' to kinda sit on their laurels and twiddle thumbs on

getting stuff like new versions of Litecoin Core out, in any quick manner. I hope you are correct, but they usually have a pretty big time to get it in lag, (with little followup IMHO in

between) from when they announce a protocol to when they get a protocol out. The exception was the seq witness compromise. So again, they step it up and get this out say, in the

next month or so and I'm good.

Brad

Thank you for your answer bro very informative!  :)
When you talk about "seq witness" you mean segwit (Segregated Witness) I suppose...

Had been waiting for this to happen since I have been holding my litecoin for long now

I don’t think that bitcoin will go together with litecoin because bitcoin halving will happen next year and I am looking for separate LTC growth just like ethereum in 2018 1st quarter

the fact that all coins do not follow rising trend of bitcoin tall one , including litecoin, litecoin increase independently, In my opinion, and the upward trend in year 2019 is very different from the rising trend in year 2017 yesterday

yes, that's what happened. LTC does its own pump, even when the market is in a downtrend. LTC can do the pump. it's because of halving that is heard by many people, which makes it even more believing that prices will increase. naturally, if the LTC demand on the market increases.

But this time around, it's no exception, BTC dump and other altcoins followed.
I can say it's really a bad day for crypto now, there is no green in the top 100, most of the coins are down over 10%.

If the market will be the same until the halving of LTC, don't expect about it anymore and think of the pump once the halving is done.
The market is very unstable for the moment and it's volatility is again giving us a pressure and fear that the market can be down again.

I knew everything was priced in already even last year when Litecoin was down from the ATH. For me,,, I am waiting again for $300 to happen. This time I will watch and wait for a new ATH, maybe sell exactly the amount I need to recover my initial investment, and then hodl some more until $1k happens. If ETH could do it, why not LTC an actual currency right?;)

Yes, BTC halving will happen next year, therefore, Litecoin halving might not affect Bitcoin price. nevertheless, it will affect altcoin itself. Last time, when we had LTC halving, its price went to the Moon. If the history repeats, we can wait for that Litecoin will grow to reach at least 350 dollars, which will be the joy of all cryptocurrency investors.

yes I also feel like that the different situation also faced by the light kind so that I think it also had the same path like the development of Bitcoin and its developed independent only and more of the cryptocurrency and follow these development only with the unique way

Need to wait went bitcoin on a sideways position, in the past a month. The pair of LTC/BTC & other cryptocurrencies not really good, they always crash because of bitcoin movement. But the price of fiat sometimes follow the bitcoin price, today the price of LTC/USD back to the same price with profit around 20-30% from last "All time lose". Just from my 2 cents, I think the movement will be on September/October. DYOR & DWYOR Please.

I think it will increase independently. because it is a private event of Litecoin and other alts will not be relevant. And this growth will not be too high and it will not make the market green. We should expect it in Bitcoin Halving, the most powerful coin. ;D

btc is moving positively at most times so who knows , there is a possiblity or a co incedent rather that could happen during the ltc halving where btc could also increase on its own not because the help of ltc/halving but because of the demand alone   .

 and  how can you say that the price of ltc wont go high ? i disagree with that because alot of people are saying that havling can improve the price of a cryptos drastically  but your right that btc is still the most powerful coin and its halving can influence the overall crypto market  .

Again, Miners are underwater, I mean pretty much all of them unless you count the latest 2k and 3k Insilicon scrypt-pow miners for LTC.

Thus in less than 16 days and about 18 hours, that will become at $100 LTC now the equivalent of mining at $50 instead of $100 USD and thus

you are 2x underwater than you were before the halving.

LTC halving clock:

https://www.litecoinblockhalf.com/ (https://www.litecoinblockhalf.com/)

To continue down this path, you also could say you need $200 LTC to make what you are making the next 16 days and 18 hours to break underwater

at the $100 usd LTC you have now. Thus, no worse off, but no relief either for miners even at $200 LTC.

Not really, sure that LTC POW mining can survive this. My logic goes like this. (Hope I am incorrect).

The other 'elephant in the room' is that MOST (I'd guess 65% plus) of all scrypt-pow miners are Bitmain L3+'s. Which under the above scenario

and prices now would be 'turned off' likely, as folks realize more $$$ are going in for electric than going out. This is to be expected. But because

so MANY of the miners are this particular (Bitmain L3+) model and have such a large percentage of scrypt pow, every time the price goes up (say $200) and these units, break-even in

price, even a little bit, blamo, they will go back up. We could be seeing some very odd yo/yo action on difficulty and price with this bit of equipment

banging in/out about the LTC mining ship, due to heavy seas. No new equipment worth making at difficulty and prices and old equip dumping in/out of a depressed

LTC market. Yech!

Only hope after halving for any action on LTC price, IMHO, is mimblewimble or some other innovations. Without that, Litecoin could be in some real

trouble on the pow mining front, sense of purpose, and of course the price after halving.

It is looking very, very ugly.

Brad

I suspect any price gains for LTC in the mid term related to the halving are already baked in. Maybe we'll get a tiny bump at the halving but I expect more of a dump around that time.

I have to be sincere @bkbirge, litecoin is going to get pump in August. The coin is seriously in the eyes of investors and if you see yesterday pump that happen? You will agree with me that bitcoin gains more than every other altcoins and it was leading other coins in profit yesterday. The halving will favor holders more than traders and that is why people have started gathering litecoin before August. If you don't want to be left out then now should be the best time to buy as we come close to the end of July 2019.

Miners are underwater (a lot of them) at $100 coin, going to have to be one hell of a pump to fix this. $200 LTC just gets them at the loss they are making now vs difficulty.

(see my previous posts)

but then again, I hope you are correct.

A good start IMHO would be for LTC to go past Bitcoin SV in price. Then maybe, we could get some action price-wise passing that scam coin and fake satoshi pump and dump.

Psossible if bitcoin increase their price it's big help for ltc or any other altcoins to pump up their price value in the coin market cap. So far so good the stablity of tough altcoin. So let's wiat the august month what will happen the result, because op comparing last all time high year 2017 start booming the price of crypto in the market after the segwit decision bitcoin increase their price into the including altcoins.

That's the trend that we suppose to see, however at this stage there's only few altcoins that are rising together with BTC and that includes LTC.
This means that the trend are changing and the strong coins like LTC and BNB can go with BTC but unfortunate for the majority as they are still bearish now.

So once again, we need to wait for the time to comes so LTC can increase more than now. Maybe the next bull run for LTC will happen after the halving comes because LTC still have much time to increase and like the other coins, they all need the right time to see the next bull run. The other strong coins will also increase at the right time.

Many who assumed after halving happened then the price of LTC will soar high, I also believe like that.
So let's see and wait on August 8th later, and don't forget for those who have more funds to buy LTC starting from now.

If the price already is calculated inn with the halving in mind by traders the last months the price will move sideways for quite a while after the halving. That was going on with the last LTC halving.

Can you show some candlestick charts from during that time frame?

Okay.  I am not a fan of this chart because it is hard to read and has photos on it but this is all we have to work with.

The last LTC halving event took place August 25, 2015.  Look at the chart above.  It shows a big spike up during July 2015 and the a crazy plunge downwards in price.  It looks like the previous LTC halving was a disaster for anyone that invested in it?

The past can not predict the future
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/

2015-07-09 LTC is $7,54 (on BTC-e)
2017-03-10 LTC is $3,75
-50%

2019-06-22 LTC is $141,9
is $70 unrealistic?

In a year and a half? I believe so. Reason for that is because Bitcoins will start growing faster this cycle. To me is almost impossible to expect that USD price of Litecoin will decrease over next 18 months. Half to one year for sure.

I believe the same pattern will be happening in the future, the ATH of litecoin reached caused by the bulltrend of bitcon and litecoin is not growing caused by its development progress. we will see that next month big drop for litecoin to happen again.
Remember about bitcoin and the old patterns always getting repeated anytime.

I still think with the backlash the Libra has from USA congress, that doing mimblewimble for Litecoin (that BTC passed on doing due to controversy) will be dropped.

Just can't see it happening with the cluster about NON-private transactions like BTC and Libra.

LTC foundation will 'buckle' and not do this is my view.

hope to be wrong, just can't see it with the Libra backlash

Brad

My thoughts exactly. It is all eyes on Bitcoin for now.

I think LTC will move independently. Every coin has a team, so they have their own strategies to increase the price of coins. But all of these coins are inseparable from Bitcoin.

I think that the bitcoin forks are doing what litecoin used to do. Sad to say, but look at the prices of those sh*tcoins vs Litecoin. I'm in at 434 coins I bought at

$85 or so. Thus, I'm hodl'ing for mMmblewimble. Mimblewimble is my only hope or that they really have been having development which will show up on GitHub

finally. But the confusion on why BCH and BSV are doing as well as they have at for price is a continuing mystery to me, indeed!

Silly Primates

Brad

A mystery, considering the amount of development????
Litecoins transactions are decreasing

I could definitely have done something to that chart to make it more readable, but anyway, I think we all know the point and the question isn't about whether the halving has any effect. Of course it does! But the real trick here is when and how far do this effects take place. Personally, it's all already happened (so everything was priced in) but we will get a second round when people FEEL the supply finally not getting them as much as before.
