WoW! Are you guys watching, just Wow!

LTC at $15.00 in 24 hours.

Are you hyping for the altcoin that fills your pockets?  ::) ::)
I am sure that Litecoin's price will spike hard after the SegWit implementation, but not like what people expects (i.e., 0.1 Bitcoin per 1 Litecoin).

In the polo trollbox the subject of the moment is that LTC, the guys in the troll box do not stop commenting about LTC


ha ha ha

tell this to trollbox people

I do not understand why you are so excited about Litecoin, only a 10% increase today. Such things happen daily, nothing to get high about. And shouldn't this topic belong to the altcoin section ?

the increasing ltc is not too high although we can see the price is increase but i think the price will be more than that but yes its need a times before increase more. its good if you have full of LTC in your wallet and i think you need to wait for another high price. if the market is good and many people trade btc-ltc then i think it will be increase in 24 hours later.

Don't get carried away by over evaluating Litecoin's growth prospect. Litecoin was always fast, had low fees and there is no need for any form of scaling upgrade.
Adding SegWit is not mandatory, it is additional feature not necessary upgrade needed for Litecoin to evolve. Let say it now: Bitcoin needs SegWit. Litecoin would be fine without it.

Wow, that is indeed an interesting perspective.
Im not bought into LTC nowadays, which I really regret :(
About 3-4 months ago, I have bought around 40 LTC, but mainly for gambling purposes. I just wanted to play a little bit on a different currency.
I made it up to something like 70 ltc, and cashed them 3 days after, when the LTC price has risen a little bit.
If I would still hold these LTC... I bought them for  like 0.0035/0.004 each. and now they are so expensive, wow.

But still I cannot see the reason to add Segwit to the Litecoin network except for testing method in Bitcoin sake.  Litecoin as stated is already fast, great for micro transaction for a time being until it become expensive (as what most of the holders are hoping).  But sure hype is strong so the price reflects it. Though it is kinda entertaining to watch this coins fluctuation.

That's a big gain, I wish I had bought some litecoin. What is the reason for the gain? Is is just a pump and dump or is there some good news out there to cause the increase?

As much i know this price increase is due to segwit implementation and if it gets success then we can expect the price 10 times more and even ETH and DASH will be in danger as most of them will shift to LTC

I believe that there are many investors of full LTC in their pockets. Perhaps They bought it from this early year with 4$-5$ price so They will be very rich if this coin hit 15$-25$ in next month. LTC will be hottest coin in this year .

Someone was selling his house to buy LTC, does anyone else saw that video on youtube.? I dont know whether it is that much reliable or not but it is making a stand in cryptocurrencies world.

I would be jumping for joy if your numbers came true.

I am exited, not because of the increase, but because of the news, obviously you're not paying much attention to LTC.

The real reason for segwit for litecoin is the new features it will bring, not because of block size. That is why everyone is excited, well, at least us who are invested and paying attention.

There has been good news. Looks like Segwit is coming after all, and it was done in a democratic way.

LTC will never be traders's major coin like BTC is at the moment. As a matter of fact, no coin will replace BTC. Bitcoin had at least 15M$ of daily volume after the Gox. And it is 200-500M$/24h lately. It is the main beast.

On the other hand, Litecoin had tiny 2-4M$/24h volume for the most of its lifespan till now and suddenly people found the meaning of life with LTC and drove it to 150m$/24h volume. When the hype is over, it will go back where it was before. If you haven't bought when it was 4$, don't buy now because you may be the last one whos buying before everyone starts selling.  8)

Well, bully for you, as they used to say.  But litecoin isn't exactly anything special in the altcoin world.  You could have metaphorically filled your pockets with Dash or many of the thousands of altcoins and still made a tidy profit.  Not to say that LTC isn't useful, but it is.  I just don't think it's living up to all the hype we've been getting.

I own plenty of BTC, I am a believer.

I am so happy for you that you are able to amass such amount of LTC and you can now brag about it. But all the same that will not make those who are not interested in it now change their mind because personally, I am yet to see the basis for the appreciation of it price to warrant some one like me to consider even investing in it. Just be smart about it my simplest opinion to you.

I have been watching the news on ltc closely for the last few days, and I like what has occurred, I have owned my LTC for a while, now, way prior to any of the news. I believe there will be money to be made.

Chikun will do as DASH has done. It happens when nobody believes it's possible.

Note that there are 4x as many LTC as BTC....a ratio of 0.25. Therefore 0.1 BTC per LTC is not out of the question....if BTC hardforks more than 0.1 is possible IMHO  :o

I would be happy with LTC at $120.00, however, it could go much higher, if those in charge play their cards right. We shall see.

There is this thing that people call "FOMO" that's it, Fear Of Missing Out, I'd love to see people profiting in a healthy community without scamming, pump & dump and manipulation to take away from poor and add to the wealth of the already rich but I think the only winners in this scenario are the ones mined LTC years back and now have hundreds of thousands even millions of LTCs.
I believe us the average fucks(Joe)lol if buy in on any crypto we're already buying the hype filling the pockets of riches to make them even richer, for EG, ETH was under $7 but all of a sudden skyrocketed way above $40.
I have to agree on LTC as the only exception though, if you buy now while it's relatively cheaper than ETH before the pump and after the pump accounting the difference in the price.

We might as well wake up next morning and see LTC at $20 and the next day at $25 and so on you know how this works :) :)  8).

Now are you living in reality where Science Rules or in a Fantasy Land where your imagination rules.

Because BTC is priced too high , its Transaction fees are too high.

The Majority will switch to LTC once the coinbase wallet is online so fast it will blow your mind.
For the rest of the world BTC is a product/service not a religion where it can only go up.
LTC is Faster, 4X Transaction capacity, & has a cheaper fee system.

Any of you that can not see LTC is going to demolish BTC , need to study economics.
Especially the term Priced out of the Market, which is BTC major problem, it costs to much for the general populace.

LTC can go to $50 for a 5X increase , BTC has to go to over $5000 for a 5X increase.
Plus everyone seems to forget the same Miners, Chinese  ;) are the majority miners in both PoW coins.
They produce more LTC than BTC , they will make more money on LTC increases than BTC, look for a major Chinese move toward LTC away from BTC and a major price drop in BTC because of it , in the coming months. Chinese are going to leave the slow witted holding the BTC Bag.

i think there are some staggeringly deep ltc bags out there who'll be primed to offload. considering how willing the market is pump stuff that is obvious junk, there are certainly legs to go much higher, but ultimately it would be an empty pump that would fall back down short term.

long term it's a great buy. i won't be getting caught up in the current hype.

If Litecoin goes from $10 to $20 it's no big deal except everyone holding Litecoin just doubled their money. If they invested $20,000 in Litecoin they now have $40,000.

In order for investors buying into Bitcoin today to double their money Bitcoin would need to jump to $3,000 each. How long is that going to take exactly?

Understand the excitement yet. LOL

same goes for almost every alt below the top two or three.

Of course, that's why people screw around with them. Is for a quick profit.

Bitcoin people don't have the luxury of being quick profit people because the price is already too high for that. Bitcoin people need to be long term hold people and sit on their btc for years and years.

I don't believe ltc is "obvious junk". It has a lot of good things going on, and if BTC doesn't get their shit together, who knows what could happen, so we shall see.

ltc definitely isn't junk. most of the other stuff that pumps is. if junk can pump then so can ltc and even more so if people interested in non shit get on board.

This. There was never an issue so this whole segwit situation is really irrelevant. I mean sure it shows the devs are staying in front of the issues (unlike bitcoins) but it's not fundamentally going to change anything like fees or wait times. It's all hyped and speculation and in the end the bubble will pop because really there's no real benefit to anyone.

LOL why as alternative you give LTC while ETH is much better 16s block quite cheap transactions, will have LN.
ETH have better volume over time. ETH have real transaction like 70k-100k.
I am almost full in BTC but if i should look alternative ETH is much better.
ETH as coin will be free from greedy Jihan and his ASICs monopoly.
THIS IS GREAT POINT too to consider - environment without that cancer.

Today much more people chose ETH than LTC as alternative and man ETH is much more usefull than LTC.
LTC have 12miners government vs ETH Vitalik government i don't see much difference here in both systems "users" are the one who counts. Okay ETH with ETC has given users chose that LTC doesn't give.

To be honest if I would invest then ETH is 10x better bet on future projects.
LTC have nice boost of segwit but NO ONE use LTC and in jam people use ETH more than LTC.

ETH Hard forks too much, and its pretense that it's smart contracts will hold up in different judicial systems , is extremely laughable.

LTC does the job and has the capacity to do it.
Plus the Chinese love LTC, not so much eth.

a true bitcoin believer might well switch wholesale to ltc if it was necessary. alongside btc it's one of the few coins that had an honest launch.

i for one would never replace btc with eth. it's centralised, bloated, insanely hyped and probably not capable of delivering what it promises.

i'm sure it'll find a purpose and more success. adhering to bitcoin's principles is not one of them.

i think if we don't want to replace our bitcoin into another coins, then we can save our bitcoin into our wallet and waiting for another increase of the price. but if the altcoins suddenly gets pump, i think we don't have to be sad because we are not join into the party and only save the bitcoin. i think its a good idea if we can buy some ltc and we save it for a while until we can see the price is increase like other altcoins.

Segwit offers more than larger blocks, it offers new technologies, that can be incorporated into the coin. So it's not about higher fees, faster transactions at all, at least not with LTC. Read up on what SegWit will bring to Litecoin and you will see what I am talking about.

Lite coin just revive, there future still full of uncertainty, even though the price is keep on rising and many people said that litecoin is going to be the strongest alt coin but it is still unstable and hasn't really attracted a lot of people, but showing a positive growing, I won't put too many of fund into litecoin but it's still worth to try to invest in litecoin

Wow!!! Are you guys watching???? LTC at almost $15.00 with $750 million Market Cap!!!

as an investor, people should have bought it when it was low. in other words you always buy when everyone is silent about the coin. and if you missed the chance to buy then you should buy as fast as possible then if you missed it again you have to stay away and watch the price go up to $50 and start regretting why did you listen to some FUD and didn't buy.

I bouught at $6.60, wish I would have bought when it was $4.00. I know a lot of people sold off a few days ago, because the signalling was going down, but things have changed in the last few days. I actually, held my breath and held. I am glad I did.

Please do anyone know about N42 wallet

Well, I know this coin has been around for a long time and I've never look so deep into its market in the past. What I realized was the price recently at this month, seems fluctuate a bit. I remember it may around $3-$4 within January-March and start to climb up during this month. People may regret didn't buy it last month when it was $4, as litecoin seems promising after Segwit activated I guess.
But, maybe it isn't too late for purchase some coins.

In my opinion, it's still not too late. I think it will continue to rise in the next month.

At what price can we see LTC within 30days ? Is the pump all speculative because of segwit ?

Hard to say, currently, at $15.35 with $779 million market cap and moving upwards fast! Just look at the charts.

actually selling a couple of days ago was a great idea, because if we are talking about trading (which most of us are) the high price of 0.0108BTC was an excellent point to sell and wait out the dump because of the stopping of SegWit and then buy back at the bottom (0.0083BTC or anywhere up to 0.009BTC) because that would have meant a profit no matter what because of simple bounce back.

and then after buying back, you keep a look out and since SegWit starts again you cancel sell orders and place them higher.

if you ask me i say LTC will go to 0.03BTC very soon but in my opinion just buying and holding and hoping the price goes up is not a good idea in any altcoin. you need to have clear targets and take advantage of the profit waiting there for you to take it.

I bought it at 4 and sold at 4.50, imagine my feelings right now  :'(
But the people who have kept it, must be feeling great right now. Its already at the moon and chances are, its gonna keep going.
Not sure if there is still time to get in though, kind of risky to buy at the moment I feel.

Why did you sell @4.50 dude? Are you afraid that it is just a pump?

I think the pump will continue and I speculate it could double in a few weeks. Its $17 now. Yeah, those who have bought it cheap has already profited huge amount. Too bad dude you already sold yours. :)

maybe this is still a low price who know? i see that this hype can build the value up to $50-60 or higher and reach dash value, still very possible, because for now the value is only 2x before the pump started, in other words this si the beginning


what are these features? i keep hearing this about new features, but none seems to know, it's like they are making this up to pump the value

Take a look at the link below. It describes some of the new features SegWit will bring to LTC. The letter was written to miners by Charlie Lee not too long ago.


https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/63cgfc/my_letter_to_chinese_miners_and_pool_operators_on/

what feeling? are you talking about the good feeling of making a successful trade? or the good feeling of making 12.5% profit over a very short period of time?
unless you have been gambling with the price and buying to make a bet and see if it goes up or not and then sell, i say you made a very good trade and made a good profit.

yes, you missed some profit but i repeat again you made 12.5% profit!
and it is still not too late to buy and sell at another 12.5% profit.

I would not be so sharp. After every pump on a major crypto-currencies (Monero, Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin, Ripple, and even Bitcoin). The price, fell, but it was still higher than the price before the pump. So buying before a pump will lead you to mathematically always do profit if you elect the good crypto-currency.

Well, litecoin might be high now but it is unlikely that it will ever rise that much in the long run.

Simply little superiority over any other altcoin, and the community is tiny compared to the bitcoin community.

There is so much hype right now, I guess it's a good time to keep a cool head and perhaps at least sell a little off before everyone starts dumping :P

ETH is completely different philosophy and roadmap.
ETH is a smart contract system wich allow to use blockchain everywhere it possible.


Smart contract is a programed code  which are "living" inside the blockchain and everyone can call it for some price in Ether.
This price  called - GAS

What we need it for?

Are you know that Bitcoin has also smart contract system build in, but it is based on Scrypt programing language and not Turing full wich not allow to make good code for coder. Bitcoin smartcontracts is limited.

Thats why Ethereum uses Turing full programing language. BUT! It allows you to make code something like this:


foo = 0;
while (True) {
    foo++;
}


What does that mean?

It means that this contract will be CYCLED forever long! And will burn all GAS as long as it CYCLED.  Thats why in Ethereum GAS or Ehter cost some price. Not to avoid this cycles in smart contract to long forever. This GAS or Ether can be bought on cryptoexchange, but it is not cryptocurency. It have completely another purposes.


ETH is bad as cryptocurency.And it is obviously not cryptocurency at all. Ethereum is universal blokchain. It is good to avoid a lot of blockchain creation. (For example instead of making another code for National Library blockchain we can use Ethereum and so on if you are a transport company which every week deliver new magazines to National Library and you want to make blockchain for your scheduled delivery you do not need to create copletely new, because you have Ethtreum allready. Also this one blockchain created between transport company and National Library can be used for another company which are conected with them and so on and on...It is cheaper and easier for mostly all companies)

Ethereum is different from Litecoin and Bitcoin philosophy and use.

Litecoin purpose is clear as sky. $LTC is decentralized cryptocurency. It is new form of money. Ethereum is new form of relationship between everything and everyone. Both are worth!


With Segwit Litecoin becomes one of the best available on market cryptocurency. Runing far far away from Bitcoin and others from technical side and perspectives that it gives in future.

Litecoin popping straight up with no end in sight. Shame I didn't get in during 2015 when price was real low... Just shows how important Segwit is and what kind of impact it can have if put into use on other blockchains. I'm rummaging around for the last of my Litecoin to sell a little bit, if the price remains steady at ~16 I'd be very surprised.

in a little bit of a correction phase right now who knows what the low is though reading these charts is difficult right now.

The LTC has some good features (some time around, quick confirmations and good algo) and it deserved to have a better price. Probably someone would not get it for long time as saving with btc,  but it is one of best altcoins. If segwit succeeds the price will skyrocket.

DO you know safe wallet for ltc and the other cryptos?

please visit the official litecoin website at https://litecoin.org/ and follow the links and instructions.

you can run a full node by downloading Litecoin Core. which means it will take up a longer time to sync and download the whole blockchain and will take up space on your HDD (not sure how big is the blockchain on LTC).

or you can use the SPV wallet called Electrum-LTC which is a lightweight wallet, only downloading blockchain headers which is a very small file. but you won't get the full verification.
bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4649/what-is-an-spv-client
https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/simplified-payment-verification


there is also wallets for cell phones.

so one fix is malleability issue, i wasn't aware that litecoin has this issue too, litecoin is not accepted like  bitcoin from merchants, so why they need this? confidential transactions sound interesting, it make bitcoin and litecoin both more anonymous without having the ring signature of monero or zero proof of zcash, this is a nice feature

Litecoin is a bitcoin clone with minor changes, instead of SHA-256 it uses scrypt and 4x coin supply, that's it.

Everything bitcoin has, litecoin also has.

Malleability fix will enable Lightning Networks and similar, which will enable L2, layer 2 will bring a lot of cool features like instant transactions, cross chain transactions efficient colored coins, this will make litecoin and eventually bitcoin a lot more valuable.

also 4 times faster block generation which means faster and more transaction but also at the same time more orphan rate and a 4 times potentially bigger blockchain.

but the best thing about all this is that if SegWit is activates on litecoin and is successful enough i think we can see some movement in bitcoin too. maybe this 30+% finally turns into something bigger.

So do I, but I don’t know for sure that LiteCoin will be pumped like everyone is saying.
However if SegWit and Coinbase do get added then I do see us getting a reasonable pump. Lets hope for the best, because I’ve got a few coins and I’m betting on a decent pump.

Yes, me too, and I think that Charlie Lee is wanting to do some things with it, to keep the currency going. He seems like a smart guy.

You are right but even then this move signals that LTC is moving forward with new technology even if it is not as necessary as it is in bitcoin and it give us the chance to see how segwit works under real world applications.

Boom chaga chaga chaga, boom chaga chaga chaga, boom chaga, boom chaga, boom chaga chaga chaga.


As of right now, 1.12 billion Market Cap, priced at $21.92. Hell Yes!!!!

We are going to the moon people!!!

Boom chaga chaga chaga, boom chaga chaga chaga, boom chaga, boom chaga, boom chaga chaga chaga.

We in da money!

I'm not a litecoin hater, I respect all coins the same.

However right now there is in my opinion only one reason why litecoin is going up - that is because coinbase has accepted litecoin recently and there is a hype. Soon, the hype will die off, litecoin will either stabilise at a lower rate or crash.

If you are a litecoin bagholder, then i respect your decision. But personally I would never do that.

Hope you still had all that LTC as of today. Good time to be holding it!

Coinbase is not the only reason. There are a lot of good things going on with LiteCoin, like segwit, the ln network and more. Please read up before you make such a blind comment. thank-you.

I just cashed out a bit of my LTC @ 21$, regaining all the money I put into LTC before the pump. I'll wait it out the rest of the way and see if this is just the beginning of the pump or the end; hopefully we're just beginning.

I got my mojo back baby!!!

We just hit $25.00 and $1.27 billion market cap.   8) ;) :)

Not cashing out, going till the end like with Dash =))

Well, I did just recently completed a transaction with LTC and the fee was only 0.02$ (not to mention it's very fast). That's compared to BTC's 0.60$ fees; so yes, I do feel that alone is enough to keep LTC mainstream.

Boom chaga chaga chaga, boom chaga chaga chaga, boom chaga, boom chaga boom chaga, boom chaga chaga chaga.



  $35.50. with 1.75 billion market cap.

If you can run a full node just use the regular wallet; otherwise either the LiteCoin version of Electrum or a paper wallet with do.

For those who are looking for a safe wallet, I use Electrum-LTC-2.6.4.2.

Please make sure that you know how to use a wallet safely before you decide on sending a lot of coins to it.

Electrum is the wallet i used to use when holding for a long time. Recently i had a problem,i was holding some coins in their old electrum wallet and it was difficult for me to get the coins out of that wallet when i saw the price of litecoin booming,it was showing that i could not move the coins until i upgrade so i had to sweep the coins to another wallet and what i really do not understand is that why is it impossible to send the coins for me in the first place.

Anyone buying LTC?
I think its actually a decent time to buy for long-term,
after the price dropped about 10% the hype is dying down, but I still believe price can hit $50 in the coming year(s).

Thinking about it.

Here comes the dump, Litecoin has already lost about 8$ since segwit was added. I'd recommend selling and then buying back at a lower price.

Exactly what I am doing. I sold 3 days ago, and got into XRP, will probably buy back LTC at a much lower price.

What a perfect operation!

But I'm afraid that you people are just gambling in the name of trading altcoins. Because as far as I have observed XRP and STR are fully centralized coins and being pumped by its devs. So, just are following the volume and how much appreciation it gets in last 24 hours might trap you some times when you go with large capital.

But sticking with litecoin is also not seeming a right decisions. Honestly I feel safer with my bitcoin hoarding. Maybe time will prove who are right.

The words of a skilled trader (and I'm not only saying that 'cause I said that also).
Anyway, I expect there to be a decent dump, followed by the somewhat stable LTC market we once knew; beware.

As BTC continues to be technically a shitcoin with a big wall in front of it, I'm trading some BTC into LTC.

Once real adoption hits the market, businesses will realize LTC is the way to go. The switch from BTC to LTC will be super fast.

LTC valuation is 1/30 compared to bitcoin. We'll see a spike up there for sure.

You know that LTC has no technical advantage over BTC (other than SegWit, which may be activated on BTC soon). At least BTC has the advantage of being most adopted.

then BOOM ! this cannot be the real price of ltc...

sell quickly before it's too late

Well yea, at some point it'll defiantly dump; this is probably just a temporary pump that will see a lot of correction. The time to sell is now.

yes yes , sell guys sell :)) . come on , do a better fud .

We're going to the moon boys and girls!! Hold on to your seats!!!

Hi High will it go ?  :D

I hope so, now we just wait that thing is coming true

I guess the coming years came, LTC just hit 50$ while trying to get approved for Bitterex. To bad I didn't buy into this pump like the last one.
You win some and lose some I guess...
