Ltc looking like sleeping gigant the price is Under 100$ definately cheap now people mis buy ltc because no body dont want miss the opportunity some experts Even say that LTC can Do 300% gain from here.
i think it's LTC time now in this crypto bull run season

I had booked some decent gains in the LTC before its halving rally but I'm not currently Bullish on it I'd prefer Bitcoin at the current time, still I'm looking for a good time to re-enter the LTC as well we can expect some good return in the coming up market momentum due to the Bitcoins massive moves.

Well t speculate the mentioned gains LTC don't need any expert analysis here we can easily speculate such profits jus from the basic Long term price movement analysis. The figures can even go higher but in recent times my only hope is Bitcoin.

Well, LTC halving has already occurred but the bull run started and LTC does have the potential to break the $100 price tag again. But should we only depend on the halving event? I mean, it obviously does not depend on this indicator only, last time when LTC made an ATH (by last time, I mean in 2021) the day at which it set ATH, the price of BTC was also around $60k well not near to ATH ($69k).

I think yeah, LTC has some potential, but what about BCH? The halving of BCH has yet to occur. Overall, all the assets look nice to have in the wallet but on what basis you (op) is saying it can gain 300%.

I'm also a supporter of Litecoin, and I believe in its capabilities. It's one of the first altcoins ever created, and even though it has been in the shadows for the past few years, it has been performing quite well despite the bear market. In my opinion, the upcoming bull run will push its price up to $100 for sure. It's certainly not the most promising investment currently, but I believe that it's capable of providing a relatively safe option that may yield up to 100% yield, doubling in price within the next 1.5 to 2 years.

I'm currently buying small amounts of it every week through Binance's auto-invest option, aiming to soon acquire at least one Litecoin for the sake of it being a historical altcoin.

All the so-called expert only make market price prediction mathematically and that don't work in the cryptocurrency market.
Don't forget the golden rule of the market which is always Dyor and don't base your investment decision on naive expert prediction. If LTC barely makes a good surge in price after it's halving.
What guarantees it 300%?

In my experience whenever you see Litecoin pumping it means the top is in the crypto market. I noticed this a few years back.

I think the way it works is bitcoin tops and the money flows into alts like Litecoin, then Litecoin pumps and usually it tops and the whales get into stables or fiat and it’s the top of the cycle.

So you don’t want Litecoin Pumping right now.

Isn't what you described called the Altcoin season? When bitcoin finally hits the peak and everyone has finally taken their profit they go for altcoin to increase their profit by buying altcoins, isn't that how the altcoin season starts? I haven't been buying any altcoin in a long time, had my share of failures with bad altcoins that I just want to secure the long-term with bitcoin.

No one can know and is pure speculation, personally I would have a few other candidates that could perform really well in the upcoming bull run, including AVAX and KASPA.
But here as a short side note because you explicitly mentioned it: Never rely on the opinion of "experts", they usually know as little as we do, but want to sell you their own coins or coins they have in their portfolio.

However, better-known crypto influencers like CoinBureau don't shill their own bags, so it's okay to watch them, even if it's more for entertainment purposes. He's also been wrong enough times with his predictions.

Who are these self-proclaimed "experts" - even I can be one if I wish to ;D

LTC is a better alternative than ETH, even though things have been so ETH has been second to BTC and LTC has trickled down the top list and is trading at much lows last month. But relying on someone who says that 300% gains are coming, I would take that with a bag of salt.

It is possible that after this bitcoin bull run, the prices will rise, but instead of going for the short term flip, LTC is a candidate for long term gains, so focus on that.

Litecoin increased from under $60 to nearly $120 before its halving but after the halving months ago, it dropped deep enough and today its price is not too much higher than before its mini bull run before halving.

I still consider Litecoin as one of my favorite altcoins for next two years. It is a Proof of Work coin that is safer than smart contract coins.

I agree that it is safer to add it in your watch list and spend money in Litecoin in a next year, like around April or May. But in last two months of this year, I think it makes sense if you can take a bit of risk, to invest in Litecoin and speculate profit in last two months of this year. When capital flows out of Bitcoin, it will find other assets among altcoins and Litecoin can be lifted up.

I am still down with LTC, I got mine at $80 per piece and still waiting for the pump to happen. I did expect it to make an upward run after Bitcoin did or during the time it was climbing up but not much really happened. It only gained $3 - $4 which was not decent enough to take back the losses that happened mid-August of this year.
But I am not giving up on this yet, I will patiently wait for its return and I think it can possibly be dragged up when the BTC ETF is approved. Litecoin is still used in a lot of places, especially in the gambling industry. So yes, I will probably just wait longer but it will be a fruitful one at the right time.
Well, it's not like there are good choices of coins out there. I think Litecoin is still one of the best.

And who are those experts? I don't care who says what about anything. As long as it's not my analysis and prediction, I don't care. Have you done your research? And what does it say? And every bull run season there is a time when only Bitcoin thrives. It is the season of Bitcoin. So it is wise to focus on Bitcoin for now. And when it's done, then comes the time for the altcoins. Everything has a time and you need to search for the perfect opportunity.

The crypto market nowadays is affected by sentiments. People have created a connection with all the other coins with Bitcoin. So the market moves the same way Bitcoin does. It will not be perfect, but a bull run in the Bitcoin market could create a bull run in the whole crypto market. So wait for Bitcoin to reach the peak and then you can focus on other things if you want the maximum profit.

I can also say the same thing towards other top altcoins as well. What's the point of this thread then?

I can say as well that "A coin called PEPE can be a sleeping giant therefore, it's price might go up x100 on the bull run." I said that, but I don't have any proofs, or evidences to back it. It's the same here. You are just sharing your opinion, but you have nothing to back it up. Well, holding some for the upcoming bull run might be a good option but I don't recommend holding it for the long term knowing that there are little to no updates on the development of the project.

The privacy enhancements associated with litecoin make the possibility of listing it on more CEXs in the future a problem, but I see it as a good opportunity if privacy increases its value.  can say that this is the main reason for the price not reacting at the present moment or in the current cycle, but things will change dramatically after several years. LTC halving occurred several weeks ago, and we will trade for several months before the price jumps forward. price will change slightly after 4 months.

I have been trading Litecoin since 2022 till date if you compare the performance with other coins, the price has been fair, and if you take into account the FTX contagion that affected the performance of other coins, where we saw some coins drop 70%-90 in price, but Litecoin has recovered part of it loses and has maintained a fair value. For quite some number of years, Litecoin has maintained an intrinsic value of $50 and currently trading around $68, So it a very good buying opportunity.

There was a time when LTC was in the top 10 but now there are a lot of better performing projects that have a larger community than LTC. I think projects like LTC, ETC, EOS lose their golden time and their purpose. There are projects that are ahead of all these projects in every aspect and are also in the limelight. So it is either BTC, ETH or any other major altcoin that we should be more focused on. LTC, ETC, EOS like projects won't do any miracles any more. They will give their holders profit but it won't be like those new scaling solutions.

One premise that is ignored in this Litecoin being the sleeping giant, is that, All Cryptocurrencies exist for a particular reason. Bitcoin exists as an alternative to money, ETH does same but serves more in terms of minting NFTS and the likes.

What was on the white paper of the Litecoin? What's their vision and mission as regards why they exist?
What vwas the original idea as to why the founders initiated the Litecoin idea, is what should be considered, because I believe it's in the direction of the vision already clearly writing and can be understood, that they operate.

No sleeping giant saga, I just believe it's their vision and goals as a company that defined their spot currently.
The bull run is the bull run and although the potential for LTC to bounce back may be certain, the issue now that crypto enthusiasts/investors/traders are focused on is which is a more profitable crypto to invest in right now with the best return. I don't think so many people know about LTC as much as BTC or ETH or even USDT.  The aforementioned coins are more rewarding coins in this bull run with a bit more stability and demand.

I can not say what will be a next top of Litecoin in 2024 and 2025 bull run for altcoin market but I believe its price will be higher than today price. If you sell your Litecoin today, you have considerable loss from your entry at $80. Fortunately if you hold your Litecoin till next year or next two years, I believe you will not only see $80 price but much higher price than that. Then you will have chance to take profit, no loss at all.

Hold your Litecoin.

Litecoin is one of oldest and strongest altcoins and it was in Grayscale list of their invested cryptocurrencies too.

I really dont think the "rock" will go on a huge run this time. The only thing going for it is age and people know the name, other than that, i really dont see any hype behind it. If BTC starts really rushing up then it will drag everything with it, but that doesnt mean the other coins are good

Almost all coins today are bullish due to the Bitcoin uptrend; it's always been like this, even in past similar scenarios. It can't be denied that there's a positive outlook for LTC, and it's expected to gain value, likely because of its strong fundamentals and its fast and reliable network. People are anticipating its upcoming 3rd halving, which is probably why it's getting attention now, like Bitcoin.

How many times it is going to pump? IMHO not that much anymore. If it is going to peak to around $300 then it is not that much anymore. Yeah, Litecoin is known, old and one of the reputed altcoins in the market.

But as of this age, the trend changes and investors are trying to find something that has the potential and if they do not find the one, they go back to the usual old ones.

Litecoin can be that one other choice but there is more likely that Bitcoin is always the safest place for most of them all.

Has there been much development? No. Is the community still active? No. But they are willing to make a move if development occurs. At this point they seem dead, but they can be revived. Because without popularity, there will be not be mainstream adoption and without that its downward vicious cycle.

The new investors will look for utilities and uses and if they dont find any they will move on and not baghold unlike the existing ones.

True, but I like having some thing of a silver to bitcoin. Ethereum has taken that place but Litecoin is another coin to hope for.

---

Still waiting for the OP to declare who the "experts" were.

LTC is one solid altcoin. If there are a few altcoins that I am willing to keep for a while, it would surely include LTC. It isn't like the majority of altcoins that are popular right now. They are mostly popular due to hype. But this kind of popularity won't last.

LTC has been around for many years and it remains dependable. LTC is one of the those few altcoins that actually have use-cases. In times when the fee of Bitcoin is too expensive, LTC is the coin to go. I have no doubt that LTC will get back to its ATH. That's more than 300% from its current price.

LTC has a solid community over the years and proven to be a good coin to have but time changes and technologies evolves. The chances of LTC being over shadowed by other altcoin is much higher now given that people are finding new tokens that has a potential to be greater than LTC. The coin community is gradually lesser than it's first bull market, I think that when the bull market arrives, we can expect lesser traction on it's price. I don't hate LTC but I think that newer tokens is better and has a greater potential for us to make much more profit.

Many people are sleeping on it I agree, I feel like litecoin will do amazing during this bull run and people are not aware of how great it could very well be, I think it will definitely be one of the best ones out there and if you are investing right now, even after all the increases, I think one could make so much money from it.

I believe that it has a potential to be as high as top 5 cryptocurrency, if we remove all the stablecoins from the calculation and look at just altcoins, then I would say after bitcoin, ethereum and bnb, then litecoin has a possibility to be fourth biggest one. I am not saying it will be, but the potential is there and I think it could very well get there eventually for sure, that is important.

LTC is a top coin, and is one of the old coins that is quite good in the market. But I was really disappointed with the coin's performance in the last bullish season. Because this was completely unexpected, LTC was not able to skyrocket as expected. ha ha
So, this year we are preparing to buy again for this coin or not. However, it seems I prefer to focus more on Bitcoin. Or altcoins like ETH, BNB, and also SOL or Matic. This is certainly equally risky and not necessarily as potential as hoped.

Lite coin is an old coin that is still fascinating even though it is below 100$ per piece but is still quite strong with the new altcoin challenges that have sprung up, talking about altcoins is something unique because the price will go up with the pump price of bitcoin, but when dumping sometimes look at the volume and transaction chain itself, I noticed in certain conditions on coinmarketcap, this is a new challenge especially the capital spent with a commensurate exchange rate (excluding decimals), altcoins are widely used for the art of daily scalping and each coin has its history and fans (traders,) altcoins are an opportunity if a trader is able to see trends, I myself even though I get altcoins are often divided in half with the parent, the portfolio will look growing if it is not kept in 1 color and not in 1 basket because my goal is profit, if lite coin still looks active and quite senior because of its journey and popularity it is natural, I also witnessed that litecoin has been in this price range for a long time.

This is one of the currency I first hold back when I was new to cryptocurrency world, though I first bought Bitcoin but since it has good price i keep using mine but Litecoin stays in my wallet ,  but after 2017  when litecoin starts really bad shape ? i let go and convert my coins into Ethereum  and Bitcoin with some small coin and did not come back to Litecoin investment.
saying it is sleeping giant seems promising but expectation always against reality so I would rather put my money in more safer and good coins .

Litecoin is past it's peak now as it was used as quickest mode of payment transfer when bitcoin transactions were taking ages with high charges, I still remember using it to transfer my funds back in 2017 and I did invest in it during September 2017 when it was around $80, just before the bullrun and cashed out during December when it was around $300 and after that we have not seen any pump in Litecoin for roughly three years before it briefly touched ATH in 2021 which is still surprising because it was very rare for an existing coin which was part of 2017 bullrun to achieve ATH in 2021 bullrun. But if we have a look there are much better projects available in terms of faster transaction and almost zero transaction fee wherein Litecoin was known for lightening transaction speed in the past and new players have taken over this aspect of crypto and practically I don't find even a single valid reason to invest into LTC and I believe any investor will think in the same line. We should take a pause on LTC.

Basically it gains 30% due to its halving and no one know exactly which coin will perform well and will gain much in the bull season. If you grab at this time any of the top 100 coins so you will book a decent profit amount in the next bull season. So not even LTC you should grab more coins as you can. This will give you more profit instead of investing Only in one coin.

To be honest, I think Litecoin is not gonna pump hard and come back to the top 10. It's an old coin, most people already abandoned it or will just look at Bitcoin or younger projects. Right now it's just a coin with cheap and fast transactions, it's good but nothing more IMO.

I am still digging in my old computer from where I put my Litecoin in 2018 and still cannot find it till now ,
hoping that this growth coming when i finally find my Holding , Me and my wife are combining our time and effort to look at those
because my laziness in the past to save copy of my keys turns me to forgetting everything and now seeking where did I put my
30 litecoins that for sure will make me rich when the price goes back to its all time high like four hundred plus dollars .
its been a year now when I start looking for that funds because i thought i saved it in my hard drive but when i check it
no it is not there so am worried now.

It's really hard to say so because people will just simply choose to invest in bitcoins instead of LTC unless they have to prepare something in their updates and promise their investors some new developments are going on because this will be the main reason for the price to increase when they have something to offer and have something to compete with their competitors because if they still have no updates and just giving their investors false hope, then their market will just stay still like that with no improvement or whatsoever.

Although I don't often hold Litecoin, I'm still quite happy to know about the events and their impact on Litecoin's price. Everything that's happening, I think is quite appropriate compared to what has happened. Even the information inside Litecoin, but obviously it still depends on the trend of bitcoin.
Compared to the level it reached before halving, perhaps this time around switching to accumulation and waiting for the next cycle is also a quite reasonable choice. IMO, after all, it is the leading cryptocurrency in space and time. Perhaps we are close to a new bullish trend, so the current goal for me is probably to accumulate many different things, not just assets.

Of course BTC will be more preferable than LTC. The recent halving of LTC can already say a lot. Just a usual market manipulation, nothing more. Although LTC is an old, well-known and reliable project, it seems to me that this coin had a hype that will not happen again. I would choose to invest in something else.

I think there's no hype of Litecoin, it's been treated like a little brother to Bitcoin though. And with that said, there is no update whatsoever with the code itself for the last 2 years,

https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin

Although I'm not seeing that it will suddenly die, but it's a risk to invest on it as it might not be as profitable as it used to be.

So I do agree that it's better to invest on new project, at least those who looks very promising.

Even though LTC has some potential, it's not moving that much. Look at the last seven days chart. It's not moving at all. It increased 1% in a week while most of the altcoins/token improved. Wait, you were talking about BCH as well. I don't think Bitcoin community ever supported BCH because it's a scam coin which was created by a scammer!

Nowadays, many investors are smart and make realistic choices that they think will generate profits for them, and perhaps everyone too, if they want to buy coins, will definitely buy coins that have the potential to generate huge profits for them.
Currently there are many altcoins and they are also competing, and maybe because LTC does not have a significant movement that makes investors hesitate to buy it, and that does not mean LTC will sleep forever and I am sure LTC will wake up from that sleep when the time comes.
And I still have LTC, but that doesn't mean I'll buy it again. And I prefer some other potentially profitable coins, especially Bitcoin and leave my LTC which has been around for a long time because I still believe that in the long run they will definitely wake up from their slumber, and I think many people think like that.

The hype with LTC was already there when it appeared and cost 4-5 dollars. That is, there is no need to expect any very big profit from LTC with the current capitalisation. The maximum that can be expected is growth together with the rest of the market when the bulls come back. This is not digital silver, but a project that managed to stay on the market and not die.

The historical price of Litecoin, both before and after its halving, should be the basis for some experts optimism that Litecoin will experience a 300% gain throughout the bull run.

According to what I've learned, investing in Litecoin is the kind of altcoin that demands patience to witness price increases. That's why I don't wonder why the price hasn't increased dramatically as I would have expected after months of it hovering between $64 and $69 instead of rising sharply. I have faith that the price will rise during the bull run, which might bring it to at least $500.

Prior to its August halving period, I purchased Litecoin a few months ago. It takes months before the sleeping giant produces a significant price shift, based on what I know about Litecoin and its halving.

Indeed, Litecoin has often been referred as sleeping giant, in the past it was named as mini-Bitcoin due to its association with being smaller version of Bitcoin. It got popularity as payment method during the 2016-2017 period for its lower transaction fee compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, it could not demonstrate its real potential even during the last bull run in 2021 when it's all time high (ATH)reached to around $412.Its halving event occurred few months back, but it could not make any significant moves and remained around $110. Let's watch and wait how it performs in the next bull run.

LTC has a reputation for unexpected pumps but unfortunately the LTC pumps are rare. LTC seems to be dwindling out of existence slowly but surely. Between being one of the top 20 popular crypto and steadily losing its fans, I think we should see something exciting happen to Litecoin soon. But it used to be top 10 and even top 5 on coinmarketcap before that. So what happened?

I think it lost its appeal since there are much better third gen crypto alternatives that can do everything and more that LTC can do.

And how often do you hear about Litecoin in the news? Not so often, it seems. ???

LTC hype faded after its halving. There was a time when this bitcoin-inspired project created a massive community. Many investors invested in those projects thinking they were superior to bitcoin and would perform better than bitcoin in the long run which didn't happen. There are so many better alternatives in the market and they have massive larger following than these old project and developers and investors are more interested in the new project.

Many investors are still hopeful about this project. Of course, it still has the capability to rise during bull season but we can't expect much from it like being too bullish as before. Due to huge market competition, it seems that Litecoin has been out of sight by most newcomers which makes this coin hard to grow at this time and we know that this is a big factor that could help to raise its price. There is a need for the developers and marketing team to work on attracting more users and investors just to change the current momentum and have a bigger chance to grow its demand.

Frankly speaking I don't have any idea on altcoins and the only coin I know is bitcoin and from what I am seeing here diversification of investment will be nice one to go about it. But the problem I will face is how to get the wallet and where to get the litecoin that I will directly send the coins to the wallet. Can some drop the links to get the wallet and also the link to buy it direct to the wallet? I have sent the name or the project before but was not having the interest for it.

I will like to use some of the altcoins to see how good they are in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Yeah, no development anymore and it's just only breathing and continued because of the support and demand from its established community. If Charlie Lee decides to go back on it, yeah.. it's possible that there will be a continuous development.

Right, they're going to find the better ones that has use case and active development. Although it's amazing to see that litecoin keeps on moving on and I think this is the perk when a project has been established for a long time and at least maintained its composure by its community.

I agree, Litecoin has been said to be the silver of Bitcoin but if we're going to look at its position now. ETH has taken over that spot and has been stable staying there for a long time.

I think it is  pretty much a given that if you invest in litecoin now you can obtain some profits if you hold your coins until the next bull run, the question that is more difficult to answer is if it is the right altcoin to hold compared to the growth we can expect out of other coins?

Just as a point of comparison, ETH is down 61% from its ATH while LTC is down 82%, this tells me there is a higher and faster recovery for a coin like ETH than what I see with LTC, and if that is the case I would expect this trend to continue, so I would prefer to buy ETH over LTC.                                                     

Its clear that Litecoin's shine has faded. It used to be a strong contender, sitting in the top 5 on coinmarketcap. Why? There is a lot of competition in the crypto space, and third-generation cryptocurrencies have come on strong with features that make them stand out from what LTC used to stand for.

Keep in mind that Litecoin is still a good coin. Yet, people are leaning toward Bitcoin. When gold is calling, why settle for silver? Even though there may not be many LTC pumps or news stories about them, we need to ask: Doesnt rare lead to a resurgence? People say that time shows everything.

Reasonable and interesting sir, if I may know the first time you bought at what price? is the current condition better than the year you bought litecoin first? you choose the right coin to last long term I think there has grown quite high from ethreum and bitcoin right? unfortunately in the past I only relied on bounties from forums and sold to that coin as a stepping stone, litecoin is very cheap for fees and it is not difficult to find trading pairs also in 2017 it is a kind of ponzi accepting lite coin as a priority between the two coins, this option makes it easy for daily transactions and minimal withdrawals for local exchangers though, if possible I would like to buy litecoin again even if it is only 5$ or regular, and like it is worth it for the insvest long term.

Really? Then, this is another proof that halving really works on improving the price of a crypto because there are still people who are in doubt of it. LTC is done but its positive effect might still continue. Lucky for those who bought early but for those who are late, they can still catch up before the price explodes more.

In the bull season, almost all great and functional coins are the ones who can perform well. I won't say those coins are all in the top 100 so let's be careful when investing. And since we are already talking about the halving here, another crypto that is said to have it is Bitcoin. I say it again for those who are not yet aware. We still have a time left peeps, so better grab yours copy now or regret later on.

Litecoin is known as an established cryptocurrency, and it can feel like it is in a global situation. It may provide some new technologies and perspectives and continue alongside institutional cryptocurrencies. If you have opted for this medium, you can stay in safe hands and profit through private debate. Cryptocurrencies that exist alongside Bitcoin are commonly referred to as "altcoins". If you register with other cryptocurrencies outside of Bitcoin, you can try it with low risk or high profit earning. However, this process can always bring risks, as it can be dangerous. If you want to make this kind of secure offering, it is important to register a trusted and accurate exchange platform Bitcoin.

Close with halving last two months ago, Litecoin success raised above 110$ but after halving price dropped drastically and difficult raise above $70 although on bull run season when bitcoin success raising above $35k. I don't know why most difficult raise up to higher price for Litecoin only due several altcoin success reached to higher price when bull run season actually after bitcoin going up to higher price. I have watched with Litecoin price not really good progress, keep going dump and stuck under $70 almost one month, looks need more than one year later to see Litecoin will back above $100 or touch to their all time high above $350.

Hope with magical when closing with bitcoin halving can give positive impact with Litecoin will back to higher price exactly raise up above $300 due its good price for potential altcoin such as Litecoin.

With reference to LTC/USD 4 hour timeframe the coin had been ranging in the past few weeks, an experience trader would have bought at the lowest price level of the range i.e whenever the price reverses to that zone another opportunity would be evolve thus using DCA appropriately an investor must have accumulated much LTC at a very good low price before the sleeping giant wakes up, presently it price has broken out of the range with a likely bullish run from $70 to  $87 the next resistance.

The rise in  price of crypto currencies before the halving event and subsequent fall afterwards is a normal phenomenon in crypto space. However, your observation that now there are now more advanced projects with robust use case compared to Litecoin is quite valid which doesn't have much to offer to its investors. This has led Litecoin gradually losing its appeal among investors. Technically speaking, there is still potential for Litecoin to reach or even exceed $100 during the next bull run.

Reaching $100 from its current price is not that appealing for an investor. Investors are waiting for more than 2 years to make a profit from the upcoming bull run. If i am getting only 2X from my investment after waiting this long period then what is the point of investing in the crypto market by taking huge risks? Even the minimum ROI from bitcoin in the upcoming bull run is expected to be above 3.5X to a maximum of 5X. So bitcoin is a better option in this case.

You nailed it, it is almost a given that investing in one of the top altcoins will produce profits once the bull market appears, but if their performance is below than what we can expect out of bitcoin then why hold those altcoins?

So for the risk taken altcoins need to give a better ROI than bitcoin and if not then there is no point on holding them, and probably the coin in which this is the most obvious is XRP, in which their investors have waited more than 5 years already and there is no guarantee a new ATH may be reached.

There's specifically no amount that will change my strategy towards altcoins next season, I've learn to always stick to my plans after I got my trading account liquidated, lost few significant figures. Most of these altcoins are overhyped and when it's bull season,  they failed to shoots to the moon when other altcoins are making important moves. Most of these altcoins have remain dormant just as TRONs which is currently used as gas fees for most crypto transactions. Litecoin is classified under altcoin in the space, there are several moves made by this project, though Litecoin is considered to be a promising project, after surviving the heavy bearish season that crumbled most altcoins in the market.

People invest in altcoin because they want better ROI than bitcoin despite the higher risk they need to take. If bitcoin is performing better than some altcoin then what is the point of holding that altcoin by taking greater risk than bitcoin? This actually happens with the old narrative coin which usually doesn't perform better than its previous cycle. LTC's ATH was around 410$ in the last bull market so it needs to give at least 4X from that ROI which is around 1600$ to be attractive for investors. I don't think this will happen with ltc this cycle.

For me, it was not a sleeping giant but that is really how LTC moves, it was not fast nor too slow, yet can still be trusted. However, it never gains too much interest because of its profit return making investors choose other altcoins. Though I see the long-term potential of Bitcoin, we need to be more practical these days as holding for many years with this project seems to be not a good idea either because, on the other side, we miss some opportunities with the other projects.

Litecoin is middle ground for those people, it is something that is riskier than bitcoin, but not some shitcoin that could 10x neither. It is something that is decent and could be very well, it has to be something that we care about at all times.

I think it should be important to note that we are talking about something that could make sense on the long run and because of that we need to invest into something that is more like ETH or BNB or LTC because those are still riskier than BTC if you think about it, but they are still not x10 type of risky shitcoins neither. Litecoin is lower than the other two, so it has a bigger potential, people could see it becoming fourth top coin, after btc and eth and bnb, so they invest.

Sorry mate, I understand this feeling because every single of us have been there. This reminds me of the topic I talked about via this altcoin and how easily I get the ones that are favourably for me. I just hope this helps

So true. LTC is extremely-undervalued compared to giants such as BTC and ETH. It's one of the oldest altcoins in existence with a proven track record of development and innovation. Developers went as far as adding "Mimblewimble" privacy technique to Litecoin. Not only the cryptocurrency is scarce like Bitcoin (only 84m units), but it's also faster and cheaper to use for day-to-day payments. A block time of 2.5 minutes makes this possible. This means LTC has greater transaction capacity than BTC.

Unfortunately, the majority are focused on other chains that are widely untested and extremely-centralized. Particularly coins with smart contract capabilities. BTC is the only coin without smart contracts that has the public's attention because it was the one that started the craze. Unless LTC comes with something that "blows investors' minds", don't expect it to gain traction anytime soon. At least, it's doing the job it's supposed to. As long as it remains decentralized and censorship-resistant, there should be nothing to worry about. ;)

I don't have the data but from what I have learned as an LTC investor, LTC was always late on a bull run, it will got it's bullrun few weeks after Bitcoin got the Bullrun much later compared to other Altcoins. So, for anyone who are only begin to get Litecoin, I guess they should be patient and wait.

If that pattern were to appear again then it is clear the tactic that investors must follow, which is to invest in bitcoin at first, and only once litecoin gives some signs that it was about to wake up and go up in value then investors could consider investing in litecoin at the time.

This strategy maximizes your profits as then you can use your bitcoin to buy more litecoin, which you can later use to get more fiat or bitcoin in return, depending on what you are looking for at the time.

It's interesting to look at it from that perspective, which I never thought of. Yes, if that's it I wouldn't what its top to come up now. Let's enjoy the moment without it for now. I will join you to make my observation and see how it goes this bull season. For now, all I can say is that I'm indeed disappointed at its price. I also bought a few of it a few days to its halving but got the shock as price started declining immediately after halving till date it hasn't even crossed $90. I was thinking it would follow the path of Bitcoin that blossoms once its halving comes up.

Last bull run, it's actually late. Honestly, it did not that much during that bull run and anticipating that it's going to be something this upcoming bull run, I think that we might see that it move a bit but not entirely like a bull run that we're expecting.

Well, they can choose other altcoins if they want to because with the movement that it has got seems to be not good at all for the past years.

This won't be the best option for impatient people otherwise, they will just sell them earlier.
And this is the reason why only a few people have the guts to invest in this project while the majority are into Bitcoin and some hyped projects because they think that LTC won't give a huge profit. I know that you know it but still you manage to keep it for the sake of not losing your money, that was really a huge support to the project. However, if we are practical investors, it is certain that we don't put money into a project that never gives us a satisfying return.

Yeah true, people who are a bit late usually end up not tending to wait and LTC goes up later than most. The reality is that, last time LTC got out of top 20 as well, I think I saw it bottom at 24th place, looking at it right now, it is 18th, and I have seen it go up as high as 11th as well. So as you can see, you need to be ready, during the bear run it is definitely one of the stronger ones and during one of the other bull runs the coins and tokens overcome it.

So you need to be careful, invest into whatever you want while you are waiting for bull run, and after the bull run starts and you make a profit, use that profit to buy LTC and you should be doing better, that is definitely a better way to make a profit.

Who said crypto was all about the price? It has always been about utility since day one. It's just that "Wall Street" entered the scene, and shifted away people's perception about crypto. Now almost everybody wants to get into crypto to make a quick buck. Not because they believe in the technology. Litecoin's blockchain is still alive and running, despite market prices taking a plunge. As long as it remains useful (especially with the low fees and fast confirmation times), nothing else matters.

The reason why LTC isn't "pumping" it's because investors are more inclined to coins with shiny-new features. Especially those with smart contract capabilities. I've said this many times already. You can see why ETH, BNB, and even Solana are "pumping" like crazy. The only exception (as being a single-purpose blockchain) is Bitcoin because it's the one cryptocurrency that started this craze. Just keep buying and "hodling" LTC over time. Maybe you'll get lucky someday? ;D

Investing in cryptocurrencies requires patience, be it Bitcoin or AltCoin.Currently, the price of Bitcoin is increasing as the price of other coins is gradually increasing.
It can be understood by looking at the market that the light coin is currently pumping quite a lot.
Today when I was looking at all the coin prices I found that a litecoin went for like $73.The price of this coin was much lower even a month ago.I think this litecoin is the best to invest.

If Litecoin (LTC) is under $100 and people are saying its price could triple, then it might be worth buying. If you believe its value will rise, buying LTC could be an interesting investment. Well, how the cards fall, as always, you analyze one thing and another comes out...

There is no doubt that LTC could double or triple in value in the next two years, but that's a relatively modest profit compared to many other altcoins. Surely, many people are realizing this. However, the current price of LTC, in my opinion, carries more risk than the opportunity for substantial profit.

While 100% or even 200% in profits may seem like a good deal, we must not forget that litecoin is down 80% from its all time high, so anyone that invested at that level or at least close to it needs for litecoin to grow 350% or even 400% just to breakeven.

So it is natural there are many people that at this moment are doubtful about the potential litecoin may have of doing such thing, and speculate that litecoin holders may face a scenario similar than the one ripple holders had to face during the last 5 years.

There is a great opportunity ahead of those that will take their time to invest in LTC now, because the price is still low for both long term investors and short term investors to invest and hold for the price to increase higher. Many altcoins has started displaying some signs that gave many investors to look into the market very well to bring out some potential altcoins that will help investors to make a good income before the end of this year, and LTC was among the potential altcoins. If you look at the market very well, you will know that the price of LTC will not reduce more than this before it will increase higher to help investors to achieve a good income.

LTC will surely pump when the bull market come but I don't think the pump might be strong. Even my LTC and XRP pair on Bitget smart portfolio has been stable so far because there isnt much difference between the two in term of price movement. Hopefully, when the bull market comes, there will be big difference.

The movement of litecoin in price is very slow, but the aspect of investing in a litecoin, I think whosoever that is investing in a litecoin should venture into long-term investment not short term because litecoin doesn't speed up like bnb and ethereum in terms of increment, I have know litecoin before I could know bnb but the project of bnb is growing more faster and more good than the technologies of litecoin, so it will be encouraging for people who want to invest in litecoin to make it longterm kind of investment and I believe when the increment of litecoin will manifest it will astonished many people.

We all waits patiently for the bull market to come, that's how to earn from the system. But if one uses his or her head properly and calculatively, they can also be earning massively from the bear season. Litecoin has potentials of pumping to the moon, we just have to exercised patience and accumulate small profits from the little pumpings it makes, might turn out to be one of these abandoned projects in the market, just as Dogecoin that got abandoned by its project team. However these altcoins do triggered bullish candles when the bull candles do comes but no all of them.

I honestly doubt with lite coin its ancient coin with no real use case, even bitcoin thats supposed to be the first coin ever always have innovation surrounding it, even more so with the presence of BRC20 but this litecoin is just a litecoin, no difference from few years ago I doubt anyone would be care enough to pump this coin even more so for those whales.

XRP in this case, rarely enough, is better prospective than LTC, because simply put XRP willing to cooperate with big corporation even banks for the sake of growing their market capitalization but LTC will just stagnating not having any innovation for the next few years.
I don't take lite coin investment seriously to be honest, i just think that there are better altcoin you can invest out there.

LTC is having a hard time reaching a new ATH. I think it has to do with the fact that investors are interested on coins with smart contract capabilities. Just wait until we get a Litecoin spot ETF, and market prices will never be this cheap ever again. It will trigger a massive "pump" that will lead LTC all the way to "Mars". I think mainstream investment companies will do this, especially when Litecoin is one of the oldest and most trusted cryptocurrencies on the market.

The cryptocurrency has a deflationary mechanism like Bitcoin with a limited supply of 84m units. What changes is the PoW algorithm and block time. This allows LTC to process more TPS than BTC itself (which means lower fees and faster confirmation times). In times where BTC becomes overloaded with too many Ordinals "junk", LTC proves to be a cheaper alternative for day-to-day payments. Not to mention, you can enjoy on-chain privacy with Mimblewimble. I'd say the cryptocurrency is extremely undervalued. Maybe one day it will gather the attention of the masses? :D

As you said about LTC, if the current market price is below 100$, if we buy it, we can sell it above 300$ in the future. Depending on your words, many people may buy LTC. But I personally prefer to trade in Bitcoin than buy LTC. I have never bought a litsi myself so I can't say anything about it. Heard a lot about LTC but I have never bought LTC. I always prefer trading Bitcoin over LTC. And I will advise others that Bitcoin is much better than LTC.

Yeah, XRP is far better than Litecoin. I thought of that two and it's one of the reasons why I paired it with Litecoin to probably earn more of it incase Litecoin pumps against it before XRP bull run comes. I like the way you describe both and this makes me feel like Litecoin wont be an investment with a reasonable profit in the future.
Thanks for the honest guidance.

I'm beginning to have some doubts on. So I will prefer to wait patiently while pairing some coins with Litecoin cos I can't always get the right time to DCA them. So, a pump from this coin will help me do so by automatically selling it and buying those alts for me. And if I see that otherwise is happening, I will remove the pairs or sell some Litecoin to buy those alts.

For a long time investors in this market thought that LTC will perform a function similar to what we saw with silver, so they expected that bitcoin will become like gold and will only be used for big transactions or as an asset to hold your wealth, and litecoin was used on our everyday transactions just like silver.

But the last years have seen this narrative to lose some of its support as litecoin is losing ground against new projects.

Why a centralized "shitcoin" would be any better than Litecoin? Just because XRP is rising in price, while LTC remains stagnant, doesn't mean one is better than the other. XRP may be cheaper and faster than LTC for day-to-day payments, but it's utterly-centralized. Not only Ripple (the company) holds a large portion of XRP's supply, but it also controls the majority of the network's validators. It could easily fade away into oblivion if the company goes bankrupt or decides to shut down the network for good.

Litecoin is like Bitcoin in the sense that there's no pre-mine or ICO or any kind, and it's driven by the community itself (not a company with its own interests). XRP is the "banker's coin", and can easily be manipulated at will. Just wait until it fails, and truly-decentralized cryptocurrencies will rise all the way to glory. I strongly believe LTC is a hidden gem waiting to blossom someday. Who knows if it lives true to its promise of being "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold" in the future? :D

Yes, Litecoin hasn't grown at all in this bull run. It grew large enough a month ago the halving and since than has been below $75 for quite a time. I have a small amount of  Litecoin in my portfolio that I was trying to grid trade above my buying price but it hasn't even hit a slab yet. I guess the whales are accumulating it for the cheap price.
Anything below $75 is a discounted price for Litecoin as it can easily x2 to $150. Currently I don't have plans to further increase my holdings but if anyone doesn't have Litecoin in their portfolio, it's the best time to consider it.

Litecoin is great because

1) Its a well-established coin, around since 2012.
2) It has active dev work,
3) Most recently adding MWeb which will help privatize certain types of transactions, and
4) It has a strong community.

My main problem with it is not as many services that I use support is as much as BTC, ETH, DOGE, even BCH, BNB and MATIC are more commonly accepted. Its hard to imagine a coin from 2012 suddenly taking the world by storm, but it does have its benefits and I think it will rise nicely with the nest bull run.

I agree, LTC does have really good fundamentals and I see no reason why it won't perform nicely in this bull run. Currently keeping it right up there with Matic and BGB as one of my top 3 holdings.

The way you explaindd the difference between LTC and XRP makes me feel like a real noob. So, this means XRP may be backed by the team behind it but LTC is more decentralized because there is not team holding more than they are supposed to hold. Well, we will see how it goes as I still hold the two and also pair them together to take profit from and buy the other if any of the two pumps against the other. With time, we will know the most reliable and I'm sure that I'm still gonna be holding the two by then.

Looking at the potential bull run coming, if we can see bitcoin reaching a new ATH, then why not the same for Litecoin as well? I think that is a quite big possibility and it will probably happen. I do agree that it is not an easy thing to hope for, and maybe it will fail, but that doesn't mean that it is not going to be true, it just means that it is going to be a dangerous risk that you are taking.

I believe that the upside is that even if it doesn't double or triple in price, it will go up, so that means you are going to make profit, maybe more than you need, maybe not enough but you will make a profit. The only downside is that maybe some other coins could profit more, so you are going to be stuck with something that made you profit, but not as much as what you could have done with something else. If you are down with the ups and the downs of it, you could definitely invest into it, I do have some and I am happy with my decision, not a whole ton but I have a bit of it.

The thing is most people don't care about a cryptocurrency's fundamentals. They're only in it to make a lot of money within the shortest time possible. It's this reason why centralized smart contract platforms like Ethereum and Solana are going to the moon, while truly-decentralized cryptocurrencies (with the exception of Bitcoin) are left behind in the dust. We can see how demand for LTC is low these days, despite the fact that the network went through a block reward halving a while ago. LTC will survive, but it won't be as popular as other coins on the market.

Expect prices to decline or remain stagnant for a very long time. Who cares about the price, anyways? Crypto is all about utility. As long as LTC does the job it's supposed to, nothing else matters. ;)

I agree with you that the price is now good for those who are thinking of buying Ltc. This is a good time-tested asset and has a huge user base. Of course, the last halving did not live up to the expectations of many, but I am more than confident that we will reach new high price values ​​in the next 1-2 years.

In my opinion, Its current movements are a watchful one for those who know its price potential because Cryptocurrencies like Litecoin and Bitcoin are all about anonymity and Litecoin has excellent liquidity. each has its own advantages and I also combine LTC developments to date. It looks like today's price has started to rise. I estimate it will exceed $80 today from the decline some time ago.
     

Well, I also want the version, sir. Will a similar case happen to BTC as well as LTC? because we know that this moment will not be long, it is estimated to occur in April 2024 when the block order reaches 840,000 if I'm not mistaken. because it's not the presidential election that crypto fans are looking forward to, but that's it, sir. like me too. :D.

Indeed, currently Litecoin has not shown any significant movement, even though the crypto market has started to improve, but I personally see from another point of view that this situation is the right time to start buying and investing Litecoin, because the price is still low, I really optimistic that Litecoin will increase in the future because this altcoin has very large fundamentals in the crypto market.

Litecoin is still very undervalued coin. In the recent Litecoin halving event, It just touches 120$. And now, it is available at 70-80$ price. I think it has the potential to cross 1,000$ in the bull run. Litecoin technology is very good. It also a very good old coin. So, investment in this coin is not a bad idea. It can gives 10x profit in the bull run.

I like how you're enthusiastic and hopeful about litecoin, so far it doesn't diminish like shitcoins,  then it can be worth the wait. It's good to invest long term in crypro coins that have stood the test of time in the crypro market, because you know that even if they're static or in their bear run, that eventually they'll hit bull run, and hopefully be very profitable to sale. Aside from bitcoin, my preference in altcoins is ethereum, it gives me peace of mind, being second in command to bitcoin, although this does not take anything away from other top altcoins like litecoin.

 As far as I know, Litecoin is a coin that is well established and has a very large community in the crypto world. I am very optimistic that Litecoin will provide big profits for its users, and I suggest that if you believe in Litecoin, now is the right time to start buying and investin with Lite Coin because the price has not gone up.

Indeed, this is a very old coin with a large community of fans, it’s a pity that the last halving did not live up to the expectations of many investors. Now the price is really very attractive, but you will have to wait a long time and you need to be prepared for this. Litecoin does not give sharp Xs; here you need to be able to wait.

It's extremely-undervalued. Especially with a deflationary mechanism and a limited supply of 84m coins. I guess people haven't noticed LTC's benefits yet. It could be a result of poor marketing/promotion from the developer team. Whereas Bitcoin often struggles to reach the masses because of high fees and slow confirmation times, Litecoin has plenty of space available for day-to-day payments. This is possible because of LTC's block time of only 2.5 minutes (compared to BTC's 10 min block time).

With the LN, and even Mimblewimble for privacy-oriented transactions, Litecoin proves itself to be a good digital cash system for the world. As long as there are exchanges trading this coin, LTC holders should have nothing to worry about. Who knows if Litecoin outlives many of the altcoins we know and love today? Just my opinion :)

It doesn't matter if it was an old project or new but what matters most is the use case and application of the project in the crypto space and it is to find out that Litecoin is not the choice of the people. Maybe it was not the right time for LTC to gain such attraction but for me, it never really looked attractive. People have thought about earning a profit and LTC never shows such potential that will attract and encourage investors. They have the reason why they reject and this will have a huge impact on its price where even during the bull season it never goes high like others.

That true,  but. Litecoin still has great potential in the future because as Litecoin continues to develop, it will likely become easier to buy. If I'm not mistaken Litecoin is one of the few coins that is traded quite widely and Litecoin is one of the very popular altcoins but there are many that are very promising and do things much differently than Bitcoin.

Well, it was popular and big, but right now it lost its spot. People are focused on BTC, ETH, and new projects now mostly, at least as I see it. Litecoin need something more than just being a good and quality coin to become really big again.

At first glance, what is said is also true. My experience last year when there was a market correction was somewhat different from this year. LTC prices did not rise too significantly and were still in the normal category. if I see. However, whether there will be good news for LTC this year, we should wait together.

Well to me I don't doubt anything anymore when it's comes To crypto currency related matters. Because the market has been green all this while. and anything can happen at anytime in the world of crypto currency. There were different speculations on price increase some weeks ago but checking out now you will see that everything has changed and people has been woundering about the increment. That is to say the price is gradually growing to it's expectancy.

Litecoin price has started to rise since yesterday. 6% increase over the 24 hours was better than bitcoin and many other altcoins. Now it's time for the litecoin hodlers.
The price is still struggling to get over the resistance of 80. And the pace of rise in other coins are already down. If you have bought below the price of 80 like me, it would be a wise idea to sell some around 98 to book a profit. Though I still believe the price would easily hit 125.
