Title: BTC vs LTC as investment -- how would you split your $ ?
Post by: Dafar on April 22, 2014, 10:49:21 PM
I have some money to invest. I want to see how you guys would split your investment between BTC and LTC.

I'm thinking 40% in BTC and 60% in LTC.

If BTC reaches ATH again it's about a 2x profit from now. If LTC reaches ATH again it's about a 4x profit form now. However, LTC is even more risky than BTC... in the crypto world, BTC seems to be the safest bet with the most development, adoption and infrastructure. On the other hand, BTC's "to the moon" rise may be over for all we know but it seems like LTC has potential for at least another bubble (since it is supposedly years behind BTC in growth and development, and with ASICs coming out that will increase mining difficulty)

What do you guys think? Any other pointers I may have missed?

Thanks

Btc and Ltc are the safest coins to invest in, hodling both is a smart choice.

True, but would you put more into bitcoin or litecoin?

99/1.

Don't see what Litecoin does in the long term that Bitcoin doesn't.

But my investments consider years as the timeframe.

Im thinking 35% BTC and 65% ltc. Why? Banking on that LTC will rise in price as scrypt ASICS come along.

Think most significant is 2.5 block times and the first coin to use a scrypt algorithm?
