Litecoin has been increasing quite a bit lately. Price has gone up from $3.20 to $3.45 in a day. Those who are not buying into litecoin are going to regret it. Later this year litecoin will reclaim its position as altcoin king mark my words.

This is not a real increase. Litecoin price in fiat is increasing but the price of Bitcoin is increasing. When you see the price of Litecoin in terms of Bitcoin, it is still at its low. If Litecoin can go above 0.01 in terms of btc, then we may have a chance of breaking the downtrend.

Last 24 hours Litecoin up 6.25%, Bitcoin up 0.81%.
Last 7 days  Litecoin up 8.16%, Bitcoin up 5.4%

Sure looks like it's outpacing Bitcoin at the moment.  Been good volume for the increase in the last 24 hours too, which is a very positive sign.

24h high: 3.65276127

once again.

btc goes up => LTC price in $ is rising.

now the question is how high btc price will raise.

I saw it rocket up to 2nd place volume-wise on Polo, although with only a 6% gain satoshi-wise.

The interest in coin will only increase, respectively, the price too.
Many altcoins torugyutsya paired with Litecoin, and it beneficial effect!

I'm really excited to hear about this roadmap that keeps getting brought up. I hear they are considering adding more privacy features along with a faster processing speed. I'm in LTC for the long haul.

After the death of ETH, LTC is a great trading toy.

May be tomorrow I'll start to trade it.

with all the uncertainty and infighting with BTC i'm shocked it's not back near 0.02 - 0.03

litecoin is pumping and fontas ( https://twitter.com/Fontase ) is back.. coincidence?  ;D

It was basically 1 single guy buying Litecoin.  If you consider 1 person a bull market, well, I guess it's a bull market then.

i'd say coincidence;

"Stay in BTC. Wait for LTC/BTC to drop to around 0068 before buying back into LTC"


probably he'll claim the ltc pump after the fact lol like most the other pumps (including the recent ftc pump).

thanks for the heads up. i may buy some  ;D

"After talking to some Litecoin supporters here in China, I just realized that they do not consider Litecoin as an altcoin. There's Bitcoin, Litecoin, and altcoins.
It came about because they were telling me that they rarely ever trade in altcoins. I was confused until I realized Litecoin does not fall under their categorization of altcoins." -Coblee

Hmmmm, All i know is that, if BTC goes ATH, LTC will see a ATH

Bullshit.

A King would be capable of surpassing it's former ATH, as Bitcoin has done. The remaining rest we do label "Shitcoins".

I think we will see $20 + this year. Let's wait and see.

Sit and be patient, it is highly likely that this year or next litecoin will go above $48. Good things come to those who wait. It is unfortunate some are unable to tell shitcoins apart from the real deal.

A copy coin cannot ever be the real deal. It's just Xeroxed.

But it's not a 100% clone is it. Also if you see their road map for this year you will see greater variation.

I think those trying to stray too far from the original format are going to see this is not wise. Better with minor beneficial adjustments.

Add to this wide acceptance by the community and especially china. This is china's BTC.

There is a much broader base of LTC early adopters. I think eventually you will see this is very beneficial.

I also think you will see doge come  on in leaps and bounds in the near future.

2.0 coins are starting to lose their shine a little. The older 1.0 POW coins will make a come back.

Other forces come into play here, so anybody who is looking at what innovation does LTC offer is on the wrong trail.

Lol with that logic 95% of crypto should be worth $0 as most crypto is forked from other coins. Copy or not i think litecoin is here to stay, volume is nice, price is increasing and btc/ltc ratio is rising nicely. LTC was launched fairly which gives it an advantage over the shitty IPO/ICO coins you see today which exist only to make the developer rich.

But Litecoin is a very sexy coin, swedish girl! It can be regarded as Silver if Bitcoin is Gold. Understand? ;D ;D

Lol if you judge a coin by its innovation then BTC should be $0.

Not to mention chinas bitcoin. Chinese millionares have a lot of money to blow, wonder what would happen if that went into LTC ::)

What the feck did my poor eyes just read? Bitcoin is THE ONE INNOVATOR who founded this entire scene. The reason why you and me are here in the first place. LOL!

If Bitcoin is not insanely innovative then I don't know what is.

Bitcoin is NOT innovative compared to some altcoins which have a range of features. Compared to regular currency bitcoin is innovative but not compared to the tech in some alts. Bitcoin is not succesful because of its tech rather because of its adoption.

Bitcoin was the most innovative who made all this possible thus nothing comes close to its innovation power yet, imo

Maybe Ethereum or something similar will be able to enable  something along the lines of that, but there aren't any altcoins who have done anything even remotely close to what Bitcoin has done.

ol' whinney Bitcoin Maximilianz

fine BTC is King
LTC is the Queen
Doge the court jester

ETH an invading Borg thing sent here to assimilate all coins into one Turning complete chain

I think you misunderstand, bitcoin is innovative but the pow technology it uses it ancient and will fail in the future. Tech ways there are more advanced things in crypto space such as POS, instant transaction and annoymous transactions.

Was it so difficult to understand what I wanted to say? And the guy quoting POS above, must be some kid or something. POS is dead baby, just ask Peercoin.

Is there any specific news to drive up the price of the litecoin? I know the litecoin is controlled by very few people.

Yes peercoin is dead that must be why it has a $10 million market cap and solid development.

Get your LTC while they are cheap

BTC is going up so by effect LTC is too.

I see no reason to invest in LTC instead of BTC as historically they seem to go upwards accordingly.

well, you can't judge a coin just by innovation. but when you have a coin that "works just fine" like btc you need something new, if not why bother changing? but it's deff. not the only factor that's for sure..

ltc is the second best to btc guys :D

lol you are delusional. There's not a single alternative to POW that delivers the level of robustness and army-grade encryption that POW delivers.
Bitcoin's core will remain like that because it's a feature, then through second layer solutions like Lightning Network we can have instant cheap transactions and we will have increased anonymity in the near future as well.

Bitcoin has no competition, stop dreaming with altcoins taking over and be realistic.

Generally Litecoin is divided up more fairly that Bitcoin.
The news probably is that the Litecoin Association is going to soon release a roadmap which includes major update.
Also, there is also a proposal to scale Litecoin maximum block size to an adaptive solution.

It is a pump. Fontas is back and talking about litecoin:

https://twitter.com/Fontase

Look at the number of tweets about LTC. (Buyer beware - he tends to tweet only when he's filled his boots and wants other buyers to come in so he can sell to them)

Turing, not "Turning". References Alan Mathison Turing, a pioneering English computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and theoretical biologist. The guy who invented the computer. Well, I am always forgetting about Charles Babbage who was on it even earlier.

POW is not even related to encryption, at all. You might want to look up again what "hashsums" are all about. The army would loose each and every war abroad if relying on that for encryption.

Lol pow is a gigantic waste of energy to solve pointless math problems which can be handled far more efficiently through a proof of stake system. Will bitcoin survive this block halving? The next? The one after that? Sooner or later bitcoin devs will release that while pow is good for initial distribution it is a terrible choice for long term sustainability. In contrast look at a pos network like nubits, the nodes are in power not rich chinese miners, consensus on future features is reached in days not months and all of this is done while using a fraction of the power that the bitcoin network uses. 

A POS network can process transactions for near zero costs while a pow network must keeping rising its transaction fees to pay miners due to the declining block reward over time. I think once major security problems occur in bitcoin some POS coin will rise quite a bit.

Litecoin continues to rise up 6.56% in the last 24 hours

It has risen about 5% per day in the last few days? The big whales are very patient to pump the price slowly?

At this tme I am not going to invest in any other currency but only in bitcoin and I think everyone is doing the same that is why the price of other coins are not increasing that much faster as bitcoin is, but I have a plan to invest in other coins after a few months when I earn a lot from bitcoin.
