Litecoin often follows Bitcoin but with higher volatility. Can it deliver higher ROI this time? Or Litecoin is also a saturated coin because of already having very big market cap.

It is very clear that litecoin is saturated already if that is the word I should use for you to understand.

Bitcoin gave higher ROI if you compared both since their highest prices in 2021 to now. Litecoin is very far from all-time high. I do not think litecoin can even get to all-time high because it is more than 3x lower than its all-time high.

Charlie Lee left already the project and this is now run by the community. But looking at how it did performed for the past years, even with its halvings happened. I don't think that it's appropriate for you to compare Bitcoin gains to Litecoin's. These two are oranges and apples and you're not going to get good returns on it anymore unless you started from the bottom of its price. Yes, it's got a huge market cap but as long as it's saturated, it won't move a lot.

1. 19th on the CoinMarketCap rankings as of today
2. Nowhere near the previous all-time highs in 2018 and 2022

And yet we have Bitcoin already going past the previous all-time high some days a very long time ago. I don't want to sound biased, but Litecoin's good old times are probably long gone. As thing stand at the moments. Bitcoin's performance still out stands so many other altcoins.

Well Litecoin all time high was in year 2021. And that price was $410. Now 1 LTC is less then $115 so we will need to see alot more gains for it to outperform Bitcoin.
I do not hodl any LTC any more. Because I do think there is some other coins we can make more profit if we hodl them. But it did pass some key resistance and we maybe will see price recovery to $130.

If you don't want to invest in bitcoin and are looking for an altcoin that can give better returns and is safe, why not choose ETH?

I have never invested in LTC so don't know much about it but with ETH it has consistently outperformed bitcoin in percentage gains over the last 2 cycles. And I also believe that will happen again because ETH has a smaller cap and higher volatility. Therefore, if you start investing now and are looking for an altcoin that can give good and safe returns. ETH would be the best choice.

You shouldn't use a shitcoin to compare bitcoin the king of all cryptocurrency. Go and check the history of bitcoin price and check that of litecoin and you will see the big difference that it's impossible to give a half of the ROI of bitcoin in the long run.

Bitcoin has made a new ATH and will still reach more ATH in future but nobody knows the faith of Litecoin. Litecoin was able to reach $410 in 2021 which was four years ago. The current price of Litecoin at $110 shows a significant drop in price and Etherum is about to reach its ATH but we ain't seeing that in Litecoin. Only bitcoin has the possibility to multiply your funds overtime.

In terms of price and value, you don't need to start comparing LTC to Bitcoin. If you check how many X Bitcoin has done over the years, you will see that LTC is just getting started. Nobody compares adopted children to be in a good position to compete and take over; that's treason, so using the same approach to also compare the king of all altcoins.

Comparing bitcoin to Litecoin is a terrible mistake that you will live to regret. Let me ask you, what exactly is propelling Litecoin that makes you think that the market will pump and give more ROI than bitcoin? Bitcoin just getting started, imagine when many nations have their strategic reserve and many big banks have major investments in bitcoin, that will drive the market to to an entirely new price region. Bitcoin is the right asset to buy now is bitcoin, don't think twice about it,

The trend isn't good for Litecoin since, in the past few years, people were more into "blockchain platforms" like ETH, SOL, etc.
I've made a spreadsheet of the top-10 coins in other forums a few weeks ago:
https://ricsmedia.b-cdn.net/Sharex/top-10-coin-5-years-Jul.jpg

And you can see that the majority of those coins are blockchain/dapp platforms.

Short term or long term?

It is obvious that nothing can compete with bitcoin in the long term simply because none of them have any true potential or anything new to offer that is useful in the real world that can get them the adoption they need to truly grow.
This is evident from the past 16 years and tens of thousands of altcoins that have been created, many of which already dead.

In short term things are different. For example you may find a 24-hour period or longer where any shitcoin gets pumped big time and "outperforms" bitcoin! That is the natural course of the altcoin market. But that is just pump and dumps and for risk takers.
Another thing to consider for old altcoins is that their "pumpability" decreases over time. Because people get bored of them and also because the number of bag-holders increase over time. Therefore each time they get pumped, there will exist a larger number of bag-holders who will sell and dump the price sooner. This means a coin like LTC will have a much harder time to get pumped even in short term to "outperform" bitcoin...

I am very surprised with that performance. Even most of my clients like to pay with LTC because it is friendly to use. Still , it is not reflected in prices.

Make no mistake of comparing any altcoins with bitcoin it's actually a waste of comparison when all aspects are put in side-by-side. I always look at the long term growth and  profitability of a coin  for investment and these altcoins are lacking behind including litecoin. Altcoins ROI are momentarily which makes it risky because most of them don't pump anymore after their first or second pump and those that invest in it afterwards becomes cash out points.

Ethereum also underperformed if you compared bitcoin and its price since their all-time high in 2021. Ethereum all-time high was $4891 but its price now is $4517. Bitcoin all-time high in 2021 was $69000 but its price right now is $109600. People that invested in ethereum that time are losing now but bitcoin investors are gaining.

It could do as Bitcoin has obviously now be seen to deliver diminishing returns. You are more guaranteed to profit with Bitcoin than Litecoin though. It’s such an old coin now, Litecoin, it never really gained increasing adoption. Litecoin was the number two to Bitcoin many years ago, it just never really took off after the early OGs bought it.

Yea, you are absolutely right here sir, their is no way Litecoin is going to outperform Bitcoin especially on the longer run because alt coin have that tendency of falling more than they rise, due to large holders that sold almost at the same time just as you have rightfully said, and another thing is that because every now and then, more alt or meme coin are being created in todays market, investors that loves risking their money will likely gamble on them/shit coin, once they got their results either making profit or losing some money, they moves on to the next coin that is just entering the market, because they knows that the coin  they dump is more likely to keep on dumping than going up in value, so due to that, the possibilities of Litecoin outperforming Bitcoin especially on the longer run is like 1/500.

If there is something I have learnt from Litecoin is it can be quite a disappointing holding if one is not careful with it. In general people go straight for Bitcoin when they are looking for a Proof of work coin and when comes to alternative currencies, investors seek to get into novelty coins, coins which have much more than being fast and cheap.

Nowadays, it takes a coin with a smart contract, fast transactions and cheap transaction fees, among other features in order for those coins to catch the attention and money from investors.

This comparison of Litecoin with Bitcoin shouldn't be done because both are nowhere near equal to each other in value and gains. Check their one-year price performance to see for yourself whether Litecoin is in any way outperforming Bitcoin in price gains.

In a few months or years from now, do you think Litecoin will turn around do better than bitcoin, surprisingly? No. The whole thing is that Litecoin can't bring as many gains as Bitcoin. It will be other altcoins it will do that to, not the king of crypto(Bitcoin)

Yes, what you say is not wrong with what happened but the bull season is not over yet. So it is still too early to conclude that ETH will underperform and not provide better returns than bitcoin.

ETH is really just getting started as BTC.D starts to drop, from 65% to 57% and it is only a matter of time before it continues to drop below 50%. Additionally, a more reliable indicator of market flows is gradually shifting towards ETH as the ETH ETF has consistently outperformed the BTC ETF for nearly a month. 

It can be said that the ETH cycle will explode soon and we need to wait until the bull season ends. We will know whether ETH or BTC will perform better.

Hardly see that play out. Litecoin is among the oldest altcoin but if people were to choose a blockchain that doesn't have smart contract feature or any other gimmicks, they'd go to bitcoin because it's the new gold.

Litecoin on the other hand most likely gonna stagnate, but it's just my opinion and can be wrong. Doge got the meme coin narrative going, ethereum got the smart contract with defis, etc locking TVL at the billions.
Meanwhile litecoin is just for remittance at best. So i can't really find the proper reasoning as to why it should climb in price.

Long term wise it is even more telling when we look at altcoin prices against bitcoin. For example in this case ETH used to be 0.15BTC back in 2017 ATH and today it is worth 0.04BTC.

Apart from the fact that ETH is a useless shitcoin only used to create token scams, it also has an unlimited supply that guarantees that it underperforms compared to bitcoin.

Let us see what will happen but I doubt that ethereum will explode in price but only short period of time is needed for us to know. What I think is that ethereum is not having a small marketcap at all and you people should not think that ethereum will increase in price like before. According to my own analyses, ethereum will not perform better in this cycle if compared with bitcoin. Also in the future, ethereum will perform less better if compared with bitcoin.

Yes, you are right, ETH is a big scam. ETH was created just so that the founders and insiders could make money off naive retail investors.  The founders and insiders reserved 72 million ETH for themselves before the launch, even though the total supply was supposed to be fixed at 100 million. However, the founders changed that.I think they’ve changed the supply policy 7 or 8 times so far, which just shows how centralized Ethereum is and that a few people make all the decisions.

You can never be sure what the founders will decide to do.Currently, the inflation is around 2,600 ETH being created every day, which amounts to about 76,000 ETH per month, or less than 1 million per year.

My advice stick to Bitcoin for the long term. Be very careful with altcoins. You can trade them temporarily to increase your Bitcoin holdings, but be cautious with these pump-and-dump schemes.

Where there is gold, there is also silver, and I think LTC will show up one day to keep its spotlight, but as for now, it's not talked that much in the space, nor it is seen to spike up in price or gain relevance that much.

Time will tell.

In the world of money, the hardest form always wins. There can’t be two, because all monetary premium eventually flows into the hardest form of money. Today, silver has no monetary premium it’s just industrial metal. All monetary premium resides in gold.Over time, the monetary premium from gold and other goods that people commonly use as money,for example, real estate, which is often used as money for savings,will flow into Bitcoin, because it is the hardest form of money that exists. Therefore, it is much wiser to convert all of it into Bitcoin right away LTC and other altcoins have no monetary significance and do not meet the characteristics needed to attract monetary premium like Bitcoin. LTC and altcoins are mostly pump-and-dump schemes, so be careful and convert them to Bitcoin as soon as possible.

You're correct in your submission about ethereum's non explosion. Ethereum is not going explored and the reason why I said so is not far fetched. It is from the law of large numbers which says the larger an asset gets, the harder it is for such asset to experience explosions. You see we can also say this is the reason why smaller assets like some memecoins do skyrocket in prices but still comes down later. I consider ETH as a mega cap already which makes it more difficult for a 5x or 20x to occur over a short period of time and it will continue to be harder as time progresses. One advantage bitcoin has over ETH, which will Always put bitcoin ahead of the ETH is BTC leads early in a cycle because it is considered the safest crypto to invest in and because of this, bitcoin will always outperform ETH.

I think the "nowadays" you are describing here is the "nowadays" of 2017-22 or so. The "wave" that ended probably with the Solana pump in 2024.

Since then there have not really been changes in the upper part of the rankings (say top-30/40). The "novelty factor" for altcoins, in particular those which are smart contract platforms, is largely gone. And that's the point where Litecoin could again become interesting, for the following reasons:

- as an established coin with a quite good presence in the payment market
- as the strongest PoW coin after Bitcoin (the merged mining symbiosis with Doge works well and make it more secure than Monero)
- as one of the most decentralized coins of the top-100, after BTC and Monero
- as one of the coins where an ETF could be launched potentially in the future
- as a coin which tends to explosive growth, the few times it pumps (say the spectacular 2021 pump from about $40 to $400).

But on the other hand, some of you are right: there is currently not really a narrative or sentiment which favours LTC. The small pumps we have seen have all stalled in the 125-135$ area.

I think thus this is a classic "can't really tell" or 50/50 situation. If there is another attack on the $135-40 mark and altcoins see another small "season", then it could not be impossible to see it approach its old ATHs, but it's still difficult. It may outperform BTC though.

It entirely depends on whether the institutional trend of buying ethereum can keep up. If that keeps up, ETH price could explode. As much as how shitty the uncapped total supply that ethereum is having, a hyped up market can always have a rally and currently ethereum is hyped up for some reason that causes inflow to reach billions.

Crypto market is abstract, anything can happen even if the coin itself has uncapped supply, as long as the buy demand is huge. Although I don't deny that BTC is miles above ethereum in term of quality.

I do agree with points you raise. Like it is hard for other coins to compete with bitcoin in 5-10 year frame.

When we see 24-hours period, there are many new coins doing better than bitcoin. But I will avoid them because we cannot predict which altcoins will follow this pattern.

Let us say, if we are looking for a time frame of 6 months to 1 year from now, is it possible for litecoin to leave behind bitcoin ?

No.

That is not happening any time soon.

Check the LTCBTC graph and you'll see what I mean.

It's only new investors who feel bitcoin is expensive and want a cheaper coin that will think Etherum has a future because they don't understand the secrets behind it. Old Etherum investors wouldn't think of buying Etherum especially, those who bought in 2021 at its ATH.

As time passes on, people will continue to see and understand how shitty Etherum is and that will prevent more people from investing in it because nobody wants to tie their funds into an investment that isn't that profitable in the long run. Whoever brought bitcoin will always want to buy more whenever he can.

I am not good at reading graphs but based on replies on my thread, I will also book profits with litecoin and shift to bitcoin now.

As far as am concern only bitcoin and Ethereum can give ROI, although Ethereum is just getting started like bitcoin, but Litecoin no no, because Litecoin can't give ROI as it stands now, litecoin is a coin  that is not even sure of getting to new all time high anytime soon the coin is still struggling with price which I don't see any future in that coin anymore. The only two coins I see future in  are bitcoin the father of all cryptocurrency and Ethereum the coin following bitcoin another coin aside this two coins is still struggling.

That is true for long term. In short term many coins beat bitcoin based on weekly or monthly returns .

I don't think Litecoin will be able to deliver a higher ROI than Bitcoin. Market prices are quite stagnant, with little or no indication of a "pump". Litecoin has a long way to go before it reaches a new ATH. At $115 a coin, I'd say it's nothing more than undervalued. Perhaps, this is a good thing as transaction fees (in Fiat terms) will remain low. I mean, Litecoin "beats" Bitcoin when it comes to making fast and cheap cross-border payments. As a utility coin, it does wonders. But as an investment tool, it fails miserably.

I wouldn't call Litecoin a "store of value", although market prices are relatively-stable. It may live up to its name as "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold". We'll see what happens in the long run.

Shouldn't utility and investment tool use both be related ?

I don't really think so to be honest, who buys litecoin anyway? even bitcoin fork like BCH just follow BTC price action wise and sometime can't keep up.

I'd bet on ETH instead of litecoin if i were to choose between the two at least ethereum got smart contract capability that attracts institution to deploy services there.
If it's just L1 i prefer bitcoin instead of litecoin fully.

Sometimes someone is too imaginative about what he considers a luxury, considering Litecoin superior to bitcoin is a real blindness to judge well, If litecoin can be considered valuable why most people choose bitcoin over altcoin is a simple conclusion that can be taken for the first step in making an assessment of which is better, in terms of ROI, also bitcoin has proven itself that every calculated cycle will definitely print a new ATH, while litecoin, what is superior? if the adoption is weak it is useless, only the hopes of maxi litecoin can say that.

Comparing Litecoin with Bitcoin is like you are comparing a $1 bill with a $100 bill. Let's  be very precise here, I don't think this could ever happen even though people sold their Bitcoin to buy Litecoin. There is no how an altcoins can outsmart Bitcoin even when the Bitcoin dominance reduces. Litecoin is a good project but the price has not been yielding the kind of profits holders get on projects like Solana, Ethereum and other known altcoins projects. Let your opinion stay with you.

The op alleges that litecoin keeps following bitcoin but how on course has it followed bitcoin this year, with bitcoin making and breaking all time highs  whilst litecoin falls behind it previous all time high for a very long time since.

What the op has done is to use the early time performances of litecoin price to make his presumptive question wether litecoin can deliver as it did in past times.  My answer for investors on litecoin is that they should not expect much value from it in the future.

Litecoin is one of the coins I do much appreciate in cryptocurrency because of its unique identification, but if we are to go by it way of recent performance, they .ay not sound encouraging at all because we are already having bitcoin far better to what it could do, if we can check on it last performance compared to how bitcoin has been profitably rising and making all time high.

Litecoin also has a halving, and as you can see with its history and charts now. It's not moving that much at all.

Bitcoin is still the better performer compared to Litecoin and that's why we should stop asking if it's going to outperform it and if it's going to be better than the top coin of this market and that's Bitcoin.

It's got another function and if bitcoin is the digital gold of this market, silver is what Litecoin represents.

Yes. But that is not always the case. There are speculative investments with no utility or real use cases. "Meme" coins are a good example of this. Some coins have real use cases but aren't the ideal investment tool because of how they were designed. It's more a matter of "tokenomics" (supply, distribution, inflation rate, etc) than anything else.

Again, Litecoin is a great utility coin, but fails miserably as an investment tool. You'll earn more by holding other coins than LTC itself. But to each, their own.



For something that's been often touted as "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold", I'd say Litecoin is pretty much undervalued these days. Obviously, it will never outperform Bitcoin because of the way it was designed. Same way as Silver cannot replace or outperform Gold in the future. At least, Litecoin serves its purpose for fast and cheap payments. I hope it stays that way forever.

I also hope that it stays forever.

And as you have said, I think that the community has already accepted that it will never outperform Bitcoin because it's not intended made for that reason.

Lee has also left the project and I don't know if there are still main devs on it. But it's mostly driven by the community nowadays.

While I'm not sure if it's a good hold for long term but it's still having a good community support that keeps it alive.

Right, Litecoin is not as well-known as his cousin Bitcoin. But it's obvious that they share the same protocol like halving. And it's supposedly a catalyst for it's bull run, and it did but not as big as what Bitcoin does.

For sure, Litecoin will continue to stay in the market, but it wouldn't be as big as Bitcoin.

So it will not outperform Bitcoin or any other top crypto. But it has it's own use case, and maybe some of us have shifted to Litecoin as a means to deposit to gambling sites when Bitcoin fees started to go up because of ordinals in the latter part of last year to to start of this year.

Yes, there's a use case for it that everyone is enjoying.

The cheap fee for the transaction that it does and as well as the speed of it which is very quick.

If Bitcoin can be this quick then the Litecoin enthusiasts might just put the attention to Bitcoin and will start having it.

But I guess that most of the LTC holders, also holds BTC. It's possible to see situation like that, right?

I think so. For me, the low value of Litecoin while less used coins are trading higher is a sign for the still immaturity of the crypto market (and in particular the altcoin market). It is still driven almost exclusively by news and sentiments, not by real usage. For sure you have these sentiment-driven dynamics also in markets like stocks and gold, but in the end there most valuations do make some sense based on fundamentals (I believe NVIDIA for example is overvalued though ...).

But in the crypto market, fundamentals are IMO only beginning to show their force in the case of Bitcoin (whose fundamental no-censorship nature and high security is increasingly recognized even by former naysayers) and perhaps Ethereum (due to the large amount of token projects based on ETH) but in the case of smaller altcoins like LTC, they don't matter much.

Anyway if we take away the 2018 and 2021 spikes LTC is not performing bad at all. The long term log chart shows that the longer moving averages are increasing, and volatility is reducing.

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/10/25/UmNMbj.png

Bitcoin will always take the lead when it comes to base value but that is because it is the first and the main crypto. Others were only an alternative to it but it is like a traditional here already that people comparing bitcoin to a coin which is not even in top 10 ranking. Be it by their technology, supply, etc... but often times it is only about short-term gains. Bitcoin is now heavy and will become heavier in the later stages, this is why small coins has more chance of outperforming it.

If there would be litecoin ETF along with Elon Muck kind of whales to be adapting litecoin, then there is a definite chances for litecoin to be flying in near future, otherwise I guess litecoin will keep losing its value in bitcoin but may gain USD value because of bitcoin's appreciations.

Many are saying that Litecoin is like a lighter version of Bitcoin. So that makes it not unique. And that must be the reason on why Litecoin is not that ground breaking. Litecoin is still useful if we think we can not afford paying the fees in Bitcoin. Litecoin also moves faster but this is why it has that word 'lite' on his name.

I am not aware about the standings of Litecoin right now and it may be performing poorly compared to Bitcoin but I think there was a time before that it was the Litecoin is the ones that is raging, while Bitcoin and some other coins are being silent.

The time of "unique" altcoins is already over. We have primarily the following "groups" of altcoins:

- Bitcoin and a few other coins (including LTC) holding up the banner of decentralization, without premine or ICO.
- Proof of Stake based semi-centralized smart contract platforms, with Ethereum, Solana, Tron, Cardano, Toncoin, Sui and friends.
- Privacy coins, with XMR on the lead.
- Layer2's.
- Tokens and memecoins.

All the so-called "revolutions" on the altcoin market have been false ones, as there was no breakthrough in consensus in the last years (even PoS is debatable, because it is based on concepts from the 80s and 90s which predate Bitcoin). Smart contracts is the only exception of a revolution which "came to stay", and maybe layer-2's but there is still more development needed.

So the value of a coin should be primarily defined by its community, not by its technical features. And that's why coins like Litecoin with seemingly "old tech" continue to have potential. XMR, which is also quite decentralized but not "revolutionary" anymore, recently saw a quite neat value increase and now trades above $330 again, despite of attacks from all sides.

Yes. Many LTC holders are also BTC holders. But not all BTC holders are LTC holders. Especially if we're talking about "Bitcoin Maxis". The thing about Bitcoin is that it's safe, reliable, and decentralized. Not many altcoins meet this criteria. Litecoin is decentralized and reliable, but Bitcoin is a much better choice. If you only want fast, cheap payments, then Litecoin would be the coin to choose.

To the unaware, it's possible to use Litecoin privately via the "Mimblewimble" privacy feature. Only available in the core Litecoin wallet software, though. It's one of the few things that greatly distinguishes Litecoin from Bitcoin. Hopefully, people notice Litecoin's true benefits over Bitcoin so market prices can go all the way to the moon. I mean, that's what every LTC holder wants. Right?

LTC is a long-standing, well-performing coin, with a current market capitalization of approximately $7.45 billion. There has been a lot of positive news for LTC recently, and today, its price has indeed corrected, both in general and following the ETF spike. It's not just LTC that has corrected, but other tokens have also corrected, as have the current government's crypto policies.

LTC is a good choice for long-term buying and holding, but short-term trading will be bearish if the support price breaks again. Comparatively, LTC and BTC have their own dialects; BTC is the digital gold, and LTC is the silver. So, if gold rises, silver will also rise, I'm sure.


It's very interesting to read and it's absolutely true sir.

Among the altcoins I'm not sure or been convinced that Litecoin is third coin that have volatile after Bitcoin, they're other coins that have volatile after Bitcoin, such coins are, XMR and XRP, and this coins began to have this volatility since this year 2025, especially the altcoins we can say indirectly that the % is high in volatility is XMR even the volatility % of XMR is higher than the one of Bitcoin, let say that the volatility of XRP and Bitcoin can be equate...In this volatility % and comparison among this three coins i made mentioned above, Litecoin have lower liquidity and smaller market cap...

The must-awaited Litecoin spot ETFs will surely be a huge boost for market prices. At least, in the long-term. Consider how both BTC and ETH went to the moon a year after spot ETFs were approved. While Litecoin will never outperform Bitcoin, it will certainly make a standing among the rest of the other cryptocurrencies. The supply is capped at 84m coins, so prices won't stay "low" forever.

If Silver rises after Gold experiences a "bullish trend", why can't Litecoin do the same? I mean, it's "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold". Both in terms of scarcity and security/reliability. One can only hope people will notice Litecoin's true benefits. Perhaps, the masses will switch to LTC after Bitcoin gets congested again? It's should only be a matter of time before this happens.

I always consider litecoin to be good coin, even better than ethereum in my book since it's PoW and secure, people can have different opinion but the bitter truth is second best option will always be such a disappointment.

Litecoin isn't doing well compared to bitcoin the same way silver isn't doing well compared to gold. Good for holding but don't expect better ROI compared to bitcoin and yes bitcoin is far better option.

So holding both at same time is good for diversification according to you ?

I am curious about Litecoin its latest Price developments. How can we look at it and observe the developments .  If you use the rato Bitcoin versus Litecoin fro 2013 , then Litecoin would have already been through $3000 . It was roughly 4% percent the value of Bitcoin in 2013 at its peak in Novembver 2013. ($47 $LTC  VS $1100 $BTC ) 

4 hour 200 EMA works so well for Litecoin. I’m really interested in altcoins that start moving in line with moving avarages like this.
I think Litecoin will show more profitable moves than Bitcoin for a while (though only for a limited time, of course).

https://i.ibb.co/hJ7Wc0Tr/Ekran-Resmi-2025-11-12-14-58-29.png

Not being fan of LTC, but think LTC is going to outperform BTC from now in percentage. BTC is super heavy already and you won't expect big % at this point. However, LTC is completely different story. Easy to move for a few hundreds %. Also I saw an article, where some youtuber bought bunch of LTC: https://btcusa.com/youtuber-christopher-green-buys-100000-ltc-calls-litecoin-the-new-bitcoin/

Litecoin has always been better than Ethereum. In terms of decentralization and reliability, of course. What it doesn't have is smart contract features. But now that BTC has sidechains and L2s with smart contracts functionality, developers can simply adapt them to Litecoin if they want to. LTC is basically the same BTC with a few tweaks. The latest addition of the "Mimblewimble" privacy protocol is a pretty big deal. I'm surprised to see why this hasn't taken off on a large scale yet. The vast majority of transactions are ordinary LTC transactions. Not privacy-oriented ones. I guess this has to do with the fact that users can only enjoy "Mimblewimble" privacy on the official Litecoin Core client. Until it's made available to other wallets (particularly mobile wallets), people won't be able to notice such feature.

To be honest, LTC is extremely-undervalued compared to the rest of its peers. Hopefully it gets the attention it deserves after the approval of spot ETFs by the SEC. Just my two sats.
