Hi everybody,

XRP is currently very low (€ 0.20). I have some Litecoin coins. Bought at the beginning of January 2018, so considerably less. For the amount of those LTC coins you can now buy a lot of XRP. My question: do you expect XRP's rise to be higher than LTC's? I can easily see XRP for 0.20 go to € 1. So 5x. While this growth seems more difficult to me for LTC?

Currently no one can predicte about any coin but I am feeling XRP is really good project and have very bright future instead of Litecoin so taking XRP in exchange of LTC is not bad at all as you have hold this for long time if you able to hold XRP for very long time then surely you are going to have some good profit from this as in near future many projects are going to use this and its going to be on good value but still you need to do some own search for this all as its very risky and you can lost your hard earned money very quickly.

Thank you for replying! To be clear, I mean to sell LTC (€51) for XRP (€0,21). Both of them are going to grow in a bull market, I hope, but which of the two has the better cards for this grow?

I recommend you invest in ETH, this month is from eth!

Also, ETH 2.0 is coming and many better and new prices will be sold in your market.

Another good one is EOS, ADA, XLM, STELLAR and LINK.

XRP holders will say that it's XRP and Litecoin holders will say that it's ok to hold LTC. But if I'll choose, both are quite passive for the years and didn't moved a lot except XRP. IIRC, that was a long time already and now there's no motion that's been found on it.

Consider this suggestion Jerryv.

ETH 2.0 is upcoming.

The current market is bullish for altcoins but the high volatility on BTC makes it hard to reach the ATH prices. The altcoins will be valuable if the market of top altcoins becomes flat or low volatile. LTC has gained a ~30% gain for the last few weeks, maybe it is the turn of XRP to invest in. You should make your own research and diversifying the altcoin portfolio is better than going all in a single altcoin. The diversified altcoin portfolio is better from all perspectives because the single altcoin will not be able to change the whole portfolio value.

Go for it but I rather selling XRP for LTC

They both good actually so its hard to tell who will pump first so if you do see opportunity with XRP then so be it, because I’m sure they will pump both I just don’t know who will become the most successful one. Many hates XRP but this coin continues to pump despite of those hate, same with LTC so you have a good holdings but if you do have extra fund better just to buy XRP and hold them both.

I don't even imagine that will happen with XRP. The golden ERA for XRP has ended.
What you need to see how the performance of ripple was getting down. When whole of market has been increasing a lot and it's not happening with ripple. It's very sad to see but I would say that the ripple tech was a failed product.
Even if that was targeting the banks as their customer and R3 consortium has a better tech rather than ripple.
This coin is still in the legal battle with its investors whether XRP was a security coin or not.
You should avoid to deal with ripple and if you have a better choice and just choose it. it's too risky to put your money on ripple.

did you mean xrp can grow about x5 in the future but you think its hard for litecoin to grow about 5x right ?
mate, crypto market is unpredictable, thats mean, your opinion  can be happend but also vice versa,,
so, if you confuse its better to split your money to litecoin and ethereum
regards

During the 2017 bull run and beginning of january 2018, XRP went from 0.20 to $3.40, that's a tremendous growth. In that year, LTC all-time high was $360 according to Coingecko ^[1], that would be a 500% increase from the current price ($60). Pick your poison. But i would listen to the other users and keep an eye on Ethereum, just saying...

And remember, don't go all-in on a single crypto, diversify your portfolio.

why not just keep the two coins, because in my opinion, the two coins are also good, and have the potential to increase in price, if you only keep 1 coin and your prediction is not correct, it will result in losses later

I think the most visible price movement is LTC, in view of the less supply of XRP in my opinion it will give you a lot of profit when you have a lot of litecoin, litecoin price movements also depend on bitcoin price movements so it is certain that litecoin will be the best .

XRP price is cheap so this is a good decision to choose cheap altcoin because can give us a good profit, but I think you should not only choose XRP, but also diversify is so important, don't put all in only in a coin. Or maybe don't allocate all your LTC to XRP better 70-80% the remaining 20% still in LTC. Keep both or add more cheap altcoin is good decision

Those coins were not having a bright future. There is a better decision to sell them all and replace those coins with a coin like ethereum or something else. It's not about the prediction but when he was still in the profit and he can do what he wanna do.
I guess to keep the coins with low volatility is a good decision though
Somehow, people are still believing in those crap coins these days.

He has bitcoin, ethereum and many more promising coins to be chosen.

Better not to go all in, if you can split from this two coins much better doing it, having the potential of alts bull on it's own, the market
may go further, if same thing will happened after 2017 bull run then expect to get something decent from both projects, the most
important thing to do for now is to keep reading what updates both this coin have, it will backup your decision making in the long run.

In thay case you can use the uniswap if you wanted to or use the central exchange for that. Yes, I do believe that the XRP is way better than LTC but just like other members here stated that all will depend on the project and its market. Why not ask the team of the current update of the project and possible trajectory for the coin or market? Maybe they are still planning for betterment of the project.

Sell your LTC for ethereum. This is a better choice rather than investing your money into the security coin like ripple. Billions supply, no utility usage, the foundation didn't even consider the holders as a part of the foundation.
XRP lacks of usefulness.
It's better to buy a coin with so many usability like binance coin. Litecoin is good but it can only be used as a payment system. I din't see any usefulness of litecoin other than it.
You can also earn passive income when buy a coin like binance.

It's best not to exchange your top 10 altcoins for potentially profitable and trusted altcoins, because I think Litecoin and XRP are the best coins you should own and hold until the altcoins recover.
And you have a coin that will be profitable in the next few months and you have to be patient, you have to do some analysis and find accurate information before you do and that's my advice.

LTC is difficult to up because this coin is stable, in contrast to XRP which has high volatility. If you want to make big profits, you can sell your LTC and buy XRP. but the question now is, is the price 0.25 $ low enough now ?.
it could be that the price falls deeper considering BTC is in an uptrend.

If I were you, I'd rather hold LTC until things get better.

Technically that's a clever idea however XRP hasn't been budging from its price since it fells down that low. however, if you have some information about it or some news of the development of XRP, then go on, do what you are planning to do. Anyway, most of the investors are not trusting XRP anymore because of its slow development and movement of its price in the market. I think you may consider some top Altcoins that have a higher chance to surge than XRP.

LTC is not a stablecoin and if price doesn't go up because chart conditions are still bearish, now LTC chart conditions are better than last week,
most likely the price will go higher to $150 in next few weeks,
My advice is don't sell your LTC and buy XRP, because XRP is better than LTC,

In my opinion it is a wise decision to sell LTC now since its not really developing nowadays.
However, XRP never showed any signs of bulls not once for last 3 years.
If you seek big profits - you can look deep into altmarket, but thats risky.
Otherwise, you may diversify your wallet with top alts that won't die anytime soon

You can actually diversify it. Like selling your few ltc to xrp and hold the two coins. Both are good coins. And about that of xrp's price to goes up to the value of ltc. Who knows, right? The volatile market is unpredictable.
 
 A good example I have seen was the bch and eth. Before, bch was way ahead from eth. Now eth surpassed bch. Xrp can do that, too. But if it goes up at least $1/xrp as you said, we can easily expect higher than that.

I'm not saying LTC is a stablecoin. what I'm saying is that LTC prices are stable or trendless. try to pay attention from the middle of the year until now. LTC price is stable at around $60. if you want to get big profits in a short time, LTC is not a good choice because it takes a long time to get profit.

You may go ahead with XRP because the profit margin will be more, I made similar deal in 2017 wherein the value of LTC was around $60 and XRP was approx similar to what it in is now but I got better returns in terms of XRP of about times x15 wherein LTC gave a return of times x4.5.

Even a slight fluctuations could provide good profit for XRP since its base price is lesser, btw I am not a fan of XRP since its centralized.

To be honest both of them are kind of dark horses.
But my bet would be on LTC because its team resumed work on the project not so long ago, so there is a chance for a bull run

Everything can happen in the crypto world. If you have more than 10 litecoin, I think you can sell 1 or 1,5 litecoin to buy xrp and hold it. Selling 1 or 1,5 will give you a big amount of xrp, so when xrp price increase, let's say the price can go up until 5k satoshi or even more, you can make a good profit. But before you sell your litecoin, perhaps, you should search for another information if xrp can really increase in the short term. Otherwise, you will hold it for the long term without knowing when the xrp price can increase. But if you only have less than 10 litecoin, then I think you can sell for 0,5 or 1 litecoin, so you can buy xrp, and I think the xrp amount will still big.

My advice to both of these coins: XRP & LTC are both potential and good coins in the market today.

If you have a number of Ltc coins, you should not sell them all to invest in one bed, namely: xrp.
You should just split in half, in your future investment.
Or if you feel confident in xrp, invest 60% of your shares for xrp and 40% for Ltc.

And to resolve your doubts about the two coins, you can review some of the discussions in this forum about xrp & Ltc, below.

So you can consider which more people say positive, make considerations, so you don't regret it later.

New investors in the market really thinks that cheap coins are better than expensive coins. I also part of those people when I new in the market but my idea and perception changed when I invested in my education. The thing is: the price of the cryptocurrencies really does not matter. The misconception is people think that cheap are better to buy because the potential reward is much higher than buying expensive coin. It is all about percentage, if you invested in LTC and the LTC goes up with 50%; your portfolio will increase 50%. It is also like in cheap coins where in if the XRP coins goes 50%, then your portfolio will be up 50% also. Just choose a token that you understand. For me LTC is looking good than XRP because XRP is still in sideways move. I still waiting if the XRP can beat the recent resistance at $0.2650.

Why should you sell Litecoin for Ripple?
I think you should hold Litecoin because there will be something interesting for the Litecoin community,
especially the altcoin season is coming soon, you will regret selling your LTC.

If you compare XRP with LITECOIN it is indeed very different in terms of price and popularity Ripple is ethereum's strongest competitor and it surprises with the many investors who have invested making ripple more the price gets better this makes ripple the strongest altcoin and has a faster recovery price.

LITECOIN prices are very high but the increase is long enough to make investors not too interested in terms of trading, quite well too but prices fall easily and there is rarely good news for the development of this coin, the old LTC coin, which is currently price starting to rise along with the increase in bitcoin is also investing in right one coin is good enough but I recommend more on XRP.

XRP is centralized. Litecoin is not.
XRP has no new updates, Litecoin has new coming updates.
plus Litecoin is one of the first crypto coins which is gonna be supported by Paypal.

for me, i go with Litecoin.

Of course, it is difficult to predict which cryptocurrency from these two can bring a greater profit, but I would advise you to leave everything as it is, or it is best to invest not in XRP, but in the same Ethereum, because the price of Ethereum will still grow, but when the price of LTC or XRP will grow at all is unknown, so I suggest this option.

It's true that the price of LTC is not yet the rising unlike for XRP but there's no basis or study that the XRP will rise into $1 however there is a possibility but we might not know. Well you can divide your investment to 50% XRP and 50% LTC but I think you like to maximize it 100% so go for XRP if you really think it would increase to $1.

You seem to like Xrp so much with prediction of €1 per Xrp. I'm sorry say market doesn't go like that. Is that possible? With Xrp market cap at $11b, the 5x would make it 55b which is huge amount of inflow of Usdt and market dominance. In my opinion, it is possible only if banks finally adopt Ripple network.
Ltc is good altcoin, I have watch it moves and always corellated with Bitcoin. Once bitcoin and ethereum move, it also increases in price, so I think its a good choice and considering it's listing on PayPal platform, it's a huge adoption for litecoin community.

By the way, why don't you diversify your portfolio and make it 50:50, you never can tell when Xrp will boom since you bought in 2018.

I don't think that selling LTC for XRP is a good idea. just look at the performance of XRP during this year (-20%). LTC team is going to present the new privacy features so such step could boost the price.

What’s special on XRP that you can’t see on LTC because for me, they are both good and they are both cheap so why not hold these two and make more profit, this is better for me. If you totally believe on XRP platform then invest some of your money but don’t go all in, its better to diversify your holdings so sold some of your LTC and invest on XRP.

They are both been wrecked by there owner/team by dumping there massive token in there stash. The reason why XRP is still not pumping despite of bullish trend was there are billions of tokens that releasing in there escrow that will liquidate for funding other project and etc. Why will you invest on a coin that you know that someone is dumping a shit tons of token to the whole market monthly. Unlike LTC, LTC been through already this kind of messed-up and already recovered. For XRP there still a lot of room for dumping unless the team stop unlocking tokens from there escrow. XRP is no good for investment.

Why don't you just sell it and buy Bitcoins? The price of Bitcoins right now are increasing really fast instead of waiting for the XRP to increase why don't you ride on the Bull price of Bitcoin?

actually, I wasn't that excited about XRP. I would rather choose ethereum than XRP. well, you can see, that the margins that XRP have had not really grown since 2017. However, those are just suggestions and opinions that I think about. if you are sure of your choice, then go for it.

Maybe you thinking that it is easy for xrp to increase 5× of current price, cause the value is too low. While ltc price is much and it would be tough for ltc to increase like this, right? Actually crypto market doesn't works in this way. There are a lot of different factors behind this.

You have bought ltc more than two years ago and still holding it. So I think it's better to hold that ltc without moving to other coins. XRP isn't doing good nowadays. Though xrp staying at upper position than ltc in marketcap. But the recent movement of xrp price isn't good as ltc.
Don't take decision with your thought of mind, use your brain, observe and learn the crypto market.

indeed, the OP didn't think about the huge supply on xrp thats make this project need huge capitalism to increase its price too
and for me its better to hold litecoin rather than xrp, because i still believe if bitcoin is a digital gold, litecoin is digital silver

I believe your choice of buying XRP is good but only in the case of leveraging it as it seems you're overestimating it. 5x looks too good to be true for XRP and you already know there are lots of other coins/tokens on the table to be purchased and kept. Are you only interested in coins or tokens which are listed in top 10? I believe there are many others, but go for those that come between 50-100 as those coins will compete high marketcap coins to move a few places ahead. And seriously, when Ripple Foundation itself asks you to invest in them rather than buying XRP, I don't think it has such bright future as you're expecting for it.

Wow. Thank you very much for all the kind advice and the arguments for both LTC as XRP and ETH. This is helpful for making up my own mind. I will not sell my LTC for XRP right now. I keep both coins.

If you believe to investing in XRP and you have also made a profit from investing in LTC, then my advice would not hurt if you sell LTC that you have and switch to investing in XRP, because maybe you will get a bigger profit if you invest in XRP than you invest in LTC and of course XRP is the top 5 on coinmarketcap, so I'm sure if the price of XRP can increases very high.

it was a perfect time you entered in litecoin because i check the ltc price from that year and found out that ltc were crashing before but you only bought around 1 ltc judging on the value of the ltc you have now . you could have buy more before but i cant blame you , you can be a newbie on that time and your scared to invest for more . 1ltc right now was around 240 xrp , that wasnt really alot to me but it can be to you . xrp growth are less expected than the ltc so dont trade them but you can buy xrp because it was still cheap and less costy than ltc

The new tech that being introduced by ripple is not a big bet for everyone. As far as i know, if that was a partnership between ADA and LTC. These days we have a bunch of privacy coins especially monero as the best privacy coin since a long time ago. It's better to convert ltc to another coin like link.
if you wanna see your portfolios to be growth and that's the only chance and never convert it into the crap coin without any usefulness.

I noticed that the coins generated from mining by machine will increase in price first look at DASH, Moreno, ZEC, Bitcoin all of them well in price when the Bull market happens. As for XRP, I expect it to go up in price once Bitcoin hits the new ATH.

It seems that your prediction was correct as Litecoin is up 10% in value compared to XRP. Other cryptocurrencies related to the mining algorithm and miners also experienced similar price increases. It seems that miners are prevailing in driving their cryptocurrencies to increase in value. Recently Paypal added LTC to its platform instead of XRP, which is also a good sign for value growth.

If you are having both and just keep them all. XRP will do an airdrop for the users and you will be received free airdrop from your XRP called flare coin which will be a forking coin from XRP. It maybe will worth a few pennies but since it's a free coin and I think that's not a big problem. You can even convert LTC and XRP into better coin like ethereum or bitcoin.
The best way for you to get capital return through use the reliable coin as your investment.
that's it.

I am currently holding some LTC and am not going to exchange them until the rate rises above the previous peak. Why? The fact is that I do not use XRP, but on the contrary, I use LTC more often. I also believe that LTC should rise to its previous high and show more gain. At the same time, LTC can also make as much as 5x growth or more. The question is when exactly this will happen. I believe this could happen in 2021.

 you have a coin that will be profitable in the next few months and you have to be patient

Now time to buy again XRP. It is oppoutunity to fill your box with xrp. Good luck friends

Are you shilling for XRP? this coin is not worth to buy right now. People are only wasting their money if they decide to buy this scam coin. We know that even the founder of ethereum has called this coin as a shitcoin..

Ripple has no usability and it doesn't even give dividend when ripple already classified as the security coin.
You should think again for twice before try to suggest anyone to buy the crap coin. It's better for him to keep his litecoin.

Both Litecoin and Ripple are making huge waves in the cryptocurrency market, besides that their transactions are cheap but LTC is still more widespread

There are a lot of different factor behind the price move of cryptocurrency and I have said it in my previous reply here. Now you can see the difference. Ltc price increased nicely while xrp got big dump recently. Most of us know the reason for this sudden drop of xrp price. And maybe it's not over yet. Xrp price may drop more if we here few bad news again and this chance is high.

In investing, of course, we are free to make our own choices, indeed LTC has gone up, and this LTC coin is indeed good for us to invest in in the long term, even though this coin has not risen at its highest point. but in my opinion this coin will be able to go up in price at a higher price than the current price, and if anyone wants to change their LTC to exchange XRP, of course it's free, whatever they choose, of course to get profit.

People are still speculating XRP and that's why the price of XRP can do a small bounce again even the bad news has come before. It looks like there are lots of people still believing on XRP will not be classified as security again.
I hope that OP has been taking the right decision to not sell his LTC to the XRP and if he was doing it and it should be sold at least a half from his total portfolio in LTC to be converted into the LTC.
This to avoid the bad news that can come for XRP anytime dude.

After what happened to XRP, we need to stay away from that coin for a while and stick to LTC. Holding LTC for a while can give us more profit because I see LTC can increase, and the price now can reach $148. I guess LTC price can be up to $150-$200 this year, so if he can hold his LTC, I think he will make a big profit.

Lol that's a Joke , XRP to rise Higher than LTC? even in Dream this wont happen , with to much volume of XRP? it won't even reach 10$ and specially now that the Trouble is in their footstep ?
even that "EASILY 1 Euro" than you say will never be Met.

I think there is no point in selling LTC for XRP. The value of LTC and XRP are nearly the same and both of them can pop out at any moment. you can buy ETH instead of XRP. Buying ETH will be a far better decision. if you have a better choice and just choose it.

Sorry but i think i have missed this one ? how come that the value of LTC and XRP are nearly the same ?
on what aspect this happens ? yeah XRP market cap is far high Doubled from LTC cap, but the value ? XRP can't even reach 1$ this year or the other while LTC almost reached 200$ .
Or maybe you are pointing in another currency ?and just mis quote this ?

It will obviously gonna be LTC when it comes to growth, XRP is facing a lawsuit right now which I think can make you broke or rich, it depends on the result of the lawsuit so its like 50-50

I guess doing the opposite which is selling your XRP and turning it into LTC (https://trade.kucoin.com/LTC-BTC) might be the better idea? Coz' LTC price movement is more profitable than XRP. XRP price fluctuated in an un explainable way and then dumped again so don't expect too much on XRP right now coz' they didn't solve their SEC issue yet.

Selling your LTC to acquire more XRP might be a good idea and a bit risky at the same time but I guess XRP (https://trade.kucoin.com/XRP-BTC) price right now won't dump further. If so, then better set it on a good buy order price also, set observe LTC (https://trade.kucoin.com/LTC-BTC) price coz' it's bullish right now.

but XRP has Been Used By Pump and Dump yesterday as the value climb up double in the last 2 days but now comes back to the original price.

So  i think this has been manipulated now.

I've sold a bit for ethereum , cause I expected a real bull run , even now think to do it again but how better to do it, by usdt first?

I guess in november there wasn't any sec issues

Sorry but what is this ? a question ? then this must not be in market place , you must transfer this to Altcoin Section/ Discussion or Speculation her

But for me personally? having seen how troubled RIPPLE(XRP) now? nope i would rather Keep my LTC than to risk in this having Big case to face.

What does that mean ? OP is asking about XRP and LTC then why come ETH? mind telling what that was?

I never really trusted Ripple. Dumps can come out of nowhere and they print some XRP like the US is printing dollars like Brrrrr.. But it was a pretty good bet from the lows of $.20 to the $.50 it is now.. But still I wouldn’t trade it too much and would just stay with your LTC. That will rise as well and is a bit more stable.

why don't you try other coins that are currently more popular than XRP, BNB for example. for now it looks like everyone is still thinking about buying XRP as they are still waiting for the final results from the SEC.

Don't worry much mate because the post was created November last year when Ripple is really making its way to the top.

Those days XRP is really Pumping but LTC as well i believe .

For sure OP's stand now has changed and for sure maintaining His LTC instead of looking for XRP.
Indeed this is what he is doing now , maybe he had already converted to Doge or even in ADA.

it might stay that low but actually I also don’t expect from LTC to be much above $200

Litecoin had reached more than 100$ couple of weeks after this OP post , same as Ripple who reached 70 cents almost the same time before the filing of SEC case in supreme court happens.
If you are here back in 2017 then you must Know that Litecoin had already break almost 400$ in that year

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/

The All Time High recorded as 375$ and how impossible for this to be taken again?

XRP has a great move considering LTC so to me selling LTC to XRP is good and better after many years of launch the increment is more compared to LTC

I suggest you to don't sell your all lite coin instead of buying Ripple coin. Lite coin is a strong project and it will give you huge profit in future. Ripple is also a strong project but it does not performs as the other coins performs. So, i suggest you to hold some lite coins and buy some ripple coins. In this strategy you will not struck in a single coin.

No one can be sure LTC or XRP will rise first, so it's best to hold both cryptocurrencies. The all-in-one or two trade-offs will make you lose profits if the other cryptocurrency goes up first.
I prefer LTC because at least it doesn't get involved in a troublesome lawsuit like XRP. That looks clean and good for the investment. At least I won't lose money if the SEC wins the case.

agreeing on this mate , because if the case against Ripple was not filed by America SEC surely the progress and increase will continue as the time it was being filed is perfect timing when ripple is having a run to the top l.
But after the case being done and ripple wins , then this is the deciding factor if Litecoin will failed against ripple.
But what op is asking for me is perfect comparing to maintaining Litecoin in which no clarity in moving nowadays while ripple is pumping and dumping nowadays.

Both of them does have different strength and performance, ltc for instance can be quite for some time in terms of price but the moment it start the moment, it becomes unstoppable, and xrp is another coin with strong community and can pull a surprise at any moment,  it looks very calm to me.
