Bitcoin Forum

Interested to know your thoughts regarding price/predictions.

Also, once again, congratulations Charlie Lee for hitting new highs over and over!

Very disappointed because I didn't buy lot of LTC  :(

Litecoin is doing well now, but the real question is, will it stay on this course til the end of the year, or is this just a pump and dump scenario?

I wish i had some LTC now

this development doesnt wonder me,

people are pissed of with the high fees of bitcoin so they look for an alternative,

forks have a bad image, so they switch to bitcoins clone, litecoin.


thats cuasing the litecoin surge.

Litecoin is doing phenomenally with the price increase.  Prices may continue to increase. However, this tweet by Charlie Lee is kind of discouraging for those who plan to invest in Litecoin right now.   https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite/status/940353265585160192

I am very satisfied with the LTC's price right now it deserves pump,with its advatange over the BTC and Ethereum's transaction speed.

pretty sure it will correct itself back to 180$ in the next few weeks

we see that it is an old coin and it came from a slow growth and we know that Litecoin is a partner of Bitcoin, and deserves also to go to moon, so with the king (Bitcoin). :)

this logic is ridiculous

Litecoin was the first ALT coin I bought back in Jan/Feb and
through all the pumps of other alts and Bitcoin itself I held.

So many times I have posted in the past to add Litecoin to
peoples portfolios. It seems like people always overlook LTC
in favour of cheap coins in the hope they pump to the moon.

Litecoin is for the long haul up until yesterday LTC was +4000%

 :-*

yep,Litecoin already going on moon. ;D
In new year I hope lite price going on $500.

"litecoin"  stable, always increase and low fee.
Son of bitcoin and will be number 1 or 2.
price is good and grow slowly {Best for a long time holding}.


 

It's already at the moon. It grown X2.5 in one week only! Frankly I don't think that the price will be fixed at 250$. Most probably it will be dumped to 150-180 soon.

Ltc is the one i like from long ago, it is a good hedge, if you want to diversify your investment other than bitcoin put your funds in eth and ltc only for long term growth.

Many who made the right predictions say that Litecoin in mid-2018 will reach $ 1000, and even earlier. But after what Charlie Lee wrote on Twitter I began to doubt them. :(

Litecoin is the same thing that bitcoin, but with no congestionnate blockchain. It's cool but it's also a doom. But if you know bitcoin as well you'll know how to handle it. so it's the same thing for cold storage and it's may be good for long term :)

why is litecoin rising so much? what is the use case of etc?

ppl say its the crypto silver. but i don't see much future potential. i won't invest in ltc because i think its a whale pumping.

I read some where Bitcoin is gold and litecoin is silver but i think Bitcoin is 24 Karrot gold and litecoin is 22 karrot gold.

I am very pleased that the price for Litecoin growing. Since I bought the Litecoins for another $ 85.

Nice Rise for LTC Today!!! woohoo!  :o

Nobody knows the real cause of such fast growth of Litecoin. But I suggest that some beginners who starts nowadays to invest in cryptocurrency are frightened by BTC high price and choose some coin with lower price

I can't believe what I just see! Litecoin  $281. Congratulations to those who have hold litecoin and hope it gets  $500 soonest. I sold my hold around April out of panic and I sold it then $24! If I could have hold and sell today I will be having over $20,000. For those that are holding, the moon is still far and you have to still holding.

I think the main force driving Litecoin's growth is Bitcoin's slow transactions, as well as Etherium's Kitty-based congestion. I wonder if (hope) the value will decrease once these issues get sorted out.

But, does Litecoin deserve to have such a surge? Yeah. It's just a matter of whether its ascension is premature or not.

Yes litecoin will pump up this day looking good to see its price reach $286.93 no doubt this coin will run for long long time the Developer prove that litecoin has a high potential to the market. Im happy that i hold my litecoin will waiting to hit 400 to 500$ soon. :)

I feel your pain, dude. I sold mine right before the price rises. This is just incredible price pump we are watching now.

i wonder if it can reach 1k

I mean on minting number to equal btc it would be 4k

but 1k seems possible.

sold too many of mine at 100 damn...

Don't know about that... many ppl that bought in are waiting for the 500 mark to sell out i think

image those not long ago at all selling for 3 dollars ...yikes

I'm gonna HODL to $1k because i am pretty sure it will hit next year

I knew this days were coming  ;D I am LTC collector since 2017 January. I have collected 32 LTC from last 1 year. I feel happy and greatful. Thank you Charlie Lee. (Founder of LTC, you can follow his personel twitter here: https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite)

ppl are dumping right now... HODL!!!!

I feel your pain! I sold mine around 30$, fortunately weren't that many but....

Well, he's just being an honest guy, because obviously the price is too big for now. I was lucky to buy ltc for $20, I'll hold it anyway, for I believe ltc can do even more than we see now in a couple of years. Yet I surely believe that the price can suffer a huge correction and perhaps it's better to buy some ltc at that time.
And yet this post is just about his predictions and one can't really predict the course of the currency even if he's developing it.
I think we should be patient with this currency and not expect it to go more that $300 within the next few months.

The volume is interesting, $6trillion (really) which is about 10x normal and most the day yet to go.  On a rational level, this could be a reaction to Bitcoin just being too expensive and people switching.  However, half the volume is on cash pairs, and Bitcoin also rising, suggests new money coming in?  Its a lot for people to have spontaneously decided they like this coin and piled in. 

Does anyone know if this growth is sustainable? Or is it whales finding a cheaper quicker way to cash out?  I had 3 litecoin, I stupidly traded for a crapton of altcoin a day before this happened.  Any experts wanna weigh in?  What is the price going to do once all the rich people are done milking the system?

Moon is the bubble but crash is not coming  ::) such a strange market and people. Smart people should not be here ima scaring...

I am also shocked about the recent price bump of litecoin,it is nearly around $300,maybe it is due to the big whales storing value in one coin to make more profit from it.But litecoinn is a good potential coin but the rapid price increase makes a feel that price going to dump soon so don't be an victim by investing on litecoin at higher price.

At the moment, the price of lightcoin looks just fine. The question is: will this price be fixed, and will there be further growth? For me, altcoyins serve so far to increase the number of my bitcoins, trading short.

BTC is a hype right now and ppl are starting to get into crypto more and more. The price of BTC is to high so newcommers look for cheaper coins to invest and buy in.

I am disappointed at this stage :( I have no LTC into my wallet.But i got a massive pump from waves coin.Its gived me a huge profit :)

What a day to be alive... When you have LTC and ETH in your wallet. :-)

Litecoin is a stabilised solid digital coin. It deserves lot more than what it is now!!

Is litecoin finally making it to top or it just a temporary price surge? Litecoin is considered one of the stable altcoins that can be use for long term investment.

for next month it seems I think litecoin will increase to $ 350 and this is my prediction for LTC next month.

Litecoin is on a rise right now yes, but will it stay there or rise more? Thats the million dollar question.

İ bought 15 for 60 bucks and then sold it at 65$. I am always doing this kind of things and yesterday i was planning to buy some at 180$ but did't here we are :)

I think it's not for long , soon litecoin will prizemlitsya from heaven to earth . This is my opinion, not in any case not advice

I think its good that the price has risen quite substantially. Good to see some of the other coins having some of the days btc has had recently.

In year 2018 maybe 500 600 dolar because it goes so fast I do not know where to go

I can only hope it hit that price tag. LTC growth within one month has been very very remarkable....... Alts generally will do wonders in 2018.

I think this is just a huge P&D. There was no sign that could make this huge volume reasonable. Maybe because of BTC / ETH mempool.
I hope it will go back under 200$ again to buy back.  ::)

Charlie Lee warned about the risks associated with the purchase of litecoin. And asked those who will not be able to survive the cryptocurrency drop to $20, don't buy it. Price of 1 LTC is now at $292.

I would suggest to take some BTC gains, maybe 10-15% of your LTC position if you did at least 50-60% gain. A dip over BTC is very likely at this point and you can re-enter later.
Different story for USD, I would not sell.

I was reading on Twitter that Charlie himself said that Litecoin will fall in next few days. He also said that they are bare oriented coin and he said that LTC is not for those people who can stay calm if bitcoin will fall back to 20$ suddenly again. To believe him or not?

Litecoin grew very strongly. Very unexpected. What is this growth? Only what the light took on steam. the only news and iza, she's so...
But now, Charlie Lee said that investors were prepared for the fact that the light can return to $ 20. He is a very smart man I think he feels the market very well

Charlie is just making the point that the market has ups and downs. One of the few honest people in cryptocurrency, that's why so many people like him and LTC. The critics generally are just pissed because he exposed some lie they maintain in their efforts to manipulate people and pump a coin.

this is hilarious: 100% raise in one day without any reason or news??

It makes +200% in a few days! It's insane. Even BTC didn't grow with such a rapidity. I guess there should be very harmful correction after such a strong rally.

Damn, what a increased, What the hell happened to LTC today? LOL. Just happy to see it going to the moon. I bought it just last month alone with the price is below $100 and now my investment more than tripled today. I think I need to dump a few before all this craziness are gone.

More than 100% just today? Really insane. I have to re-think above my investment though, hahahha. I don't know where all the pump is coming from. I don't want to get trap but sometimes my greed is coming in. LOL. Let's see how it goes in the next few hours. :)

I'm trying to find a reason for this massive growth but I can't ...
The only one I found is that steam could replace bitcoin payment by litecoin ... sounds a bit weak for a such big growth !

I've secured some profit & wait for the dip :-)


EDIT :
Looks like difficulties to withdraw on bitfinex justify the growth as people convert in Litecoin to withdraw after

HODL... it will hit $1k next year by end or mid

a year ago or more a saw a post about a billionaire going heavily into ltc

the pics looked like he was converting some huge car park to house his asic farm

Also bringing his network into ltc

ltc is far more suitable right now for mass adoption than btc

I sold for 100 thinking it was great after holding since 1-2 dollars

Now as always remorse at selling :)

Hopefully though it can hit 1 k always liked it and gave a ton more people chance to mine easily than btc did.

IF doge goes parabolic next you can see investors are looking at POW fairly mined and distributed alternatives to btc

they know other distributional methods leave them open for too much manipulation

I'm watching doge to see where the money funnels too next

Where to buy good LTC mining gear now for immediate delivery??

Litecoin has risen a lot in the past month. Now everyone is curious about Litecoin and wants to have it.
Litecoin owners will continue to win  :)

wow ltc now has reached 336 $, I have read this thread to find the answer, but still very confused what happened with ltc, can someone give me details?

It's correct! LTC prices have risen sharply today! Great for those who are keeping LTC! Good luck

Yes its going to pump more,hope it can go upto $500 usd to overthrow ethereum's ass i bought mine when it was $5 worth 1btc.

I never expected Litecoin to get such a steady and continuous rise. I don't think it's too late to invest. I will start to accumulate slowly in the coming days.

The growth of Litecoin was associated with delays in the withdrawal of funds from Bitfinex.
Two days ago several users wrote that the withdraw in Litecoin are processed more quickly than in other cryptocurrencies, which could cause a sharp surge of interest in this asset.

Charlie Lee recently wrote that they are increase Litecoin marketing.
While Litecoin has updated the next high of the price, the creator of the crypto currency Charlie has issued a warning that in the future its price can be much worse.

Ok, sorry to spoil the party, but I need to reign in the excitement a bit…

Buying LTC is extremely risky. I expect us to have a multi-year bear market like the one we just had where LTC dropped 90% in value ($48 to $4). So if you can’t handle LTC dropping to $20, don’t buy!

— Charlie Lee [LTC] (@SatoshiLite)

Every crypto bull run I’ve seen has been followed by a bear cycle. The market needs time to consolidate. That’s just my experience from 7 years of watching this space.

How low and how long it will be is TBD. People need to be aware of this possibility and invest responsibly.

— Charlie Lee [LTC] (@SatoshiLite

Do you think it's a best time to invest ? I think i'll wait for price cool down even price still rise up to $500, after that I only start to invest , maybe you can take a look short term trade and don't hold for long

Ya it's very surprising to see such a growth on LTC. LTC at $300 and ETH at $600. I can understand about ETH, but how come LTC jump so much! But in this tweet of Charlie Lee, he has himself said that after every bull race, there is a bear cycle. So invest wisely!!
https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite/status/940357341723082752 (https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite/status/940357341723082752)

add  litecoin to ur portfolio bcz i many peope see litecoin as the successor of bitcoin bcz of its ultra fast trasactions and lower trasfer fees, within a year we can break many more record.. lite coin is a very bit potential coin after bitcoin

Was really surprised today when opened Poloniex. Ethereum was expected to grow although thought it can be later this or next week. But LTC..... it was so stable over years generally. That's a fresh behavior of old friend.

Has anyone else seen LTCEUR > LTCUSD at coinbase?

Ofcourse.
Same can be said about Ethereum too! 

Big year ahead.

it's a pity i can't go back in time and buy a crypto  :o

Wow, Litecoin shows a really good results. It has always been in my own list of perspective coins to invest, but I did not expected such sudden raise.
Now I am afraid and do not know if I need to invest more money in it. According to Charlie Le (creator of Litecoin) wrote in his Twitter such message :
Ok, sorry to spoil the party, but I need to reign in the excitement a bit...
Buying LTC is extremely risky. I expect us to have a multi-year bear market like the one we just had where LTC dropped 90% in value ($48 to $4). So if you can't handle LTC dropping to $20, don't buy!

After his words I do not want to invest more money and lose them one day. I will just hold the amount of LTC I already have.. Or sell some at the top.

I'm so lucky i bought again some LTC a few days ago.
Today is a highlight! https://www.tokens24.com/coin/litecoin/

I think it's important to realize that Crypto investment is still very very very small compared to other markets (gold, stocks, commodities etc)
There will be people who get rich off Litecoin and some other cryptos. Few people who are just now investing will get rich off Bitcoin. I mean even if you put $1000 in bitcoin, and it goes from 16k to 400k soon, you'd still only end up with $25k. And that's a big projection, it probably won't go that high anytime soon.
My point is, at this stage in the game, at least regarding bitcoin, you do have to have money to make money. You can still make massive gains, but with bitcoin the days of investing 100 or 1000 dollars and potentially becoming a millionaire are long gone.
Litecoin however, still may present that possibility. Maybe not, but it's definitely more possible with Litecoin.
Still most people aren't heavily invested. Keep in mind that 97% of people who are into bitcoin own less than a whole bitcoin. Only 3% own more than 1btc. So yeah a relatively small number of people might become super-rich. Not much different from current situation.
Even right now, with all the talk of bitcoin on TV, the average person is still not investing. The average person doesn't even invest in the stock market. Most Americans have no stocks. Bitcoin isn't going to change that. The fact is that most people just don't want to invest their money in things.
Even if we did have a bunch more rich people, the result would be using cryptos for fraction or maybe redefining it. Realistically when there is no more coins, the value would increase, and tinier and tinier amounts of the coin would have value. Something like maybe charging .00000000000000000000000001 bitcoin for a cup of coffee or something like that. Of course they might need to reconfigure it a bit to be usable properly, but it won't change everything overnight. The change would/will be gradual enough that it will all work out.

I too check that, found around 150 US dollars change in couple of days. This is actually a amazing price move in the LTC price chart. My friend also last week bought a 4 LTC with his salary. I am really happy that he will also make some lumsum fund with the amount he invested.
Next to ethereum, litecoin only will grab the number three place and in future we may find the coin in the ltc platform too. This bump will make sure that is definite information.

Today Litecoin is gold and bitcoin is silver
https://coinpioneer.net/coin-guide/litecoin-description (https://coinpioneer.net/coin-guide/litecoin-description)

I was planning to invest in LTC, but I beted on Ethereum. I believe despite all that this is a more reliable option, although Litecoin is still growing in strength and can be very important in the world of Bitcoin next year.

Yes, It's happening. But I don't feel good because I don't have Litecoin :'( It's like a big magic, I never thought that litecoin will touch 300 USD! But Welcome to every litecoin holder. Such a great day for litecoin holders.  ;D

yes ltc going  to the moon,personally I am not happy becouse I have no ltc.but its clear to all that,next future ltc will be lead a big rules of cryptocurrency.
best of luck ltc...

Incredible, i was trading on BTC-E with 2000 LTC at one point
Would be worth $600k now :o

Cant believe it was only $3 back in January
Congrats to any hodlers

Will congrats sir! your ltc holdings has been paid. It is good to hold altcoins for long term unfortunately I also don't have ltc holding but still not too late for us to invest in this altcoins.

I think so its already at the moon.
How much more will this price rise? Will it be $ 1000? I do not think so.


 
If I sold 3 bucks I'd go crazy :D :D

Me too, I can't believe that litecoin is rising up. It's kickin' litecoin to the moon. But I think litecoin not stable to $200 plus, maybe $100 only. What's next?

WILD  8)

Ahh i had chance to buy LTC at $55, but didn't have trust much on it, but well... good got LTC holder. Enjoy the ride.

Why is LTC taking off now all of a sudden, you would think it would've done so long ago if it was going to do anything?  I haven't really been paying attention much.

i don't think its specific to litecoin...
monero, dash and some others also went to the moon !
too bad, i didn't invested, before, but honestly how could i guess ?

even eth reached 600$. i guess i'll have to wait for long before something looks good to buy.

i absolutely refuse to buy anything so over priced.

congratz to LTC holders anyway !

I have mixed feelings, I bought both eth and ltc today after dumping ltc when ltc dropped to 97. I bought them both on the way up so I'm already ahead but I jumped so it was more emotional move than a thought out one. I have been reading about ltc and I like the Lee factor and it's efficiency but I think I should be more cautious in my actions.

Did Charlie Lee go on a marketing blitz?  This is quite a remarkable ride up. 

You are absolutely right..... It is the next BTC in town.

Litecoin is already on the moon and I don't see it coming back down hehe. I'm sure that until 2020 litecoin will be over 1k for sure but i'm picking monero tho.

Hope it corrects so i can buy some more

according to me ltc is the bitcoin' s second choice due to age and spread. furthermore it has LN and this makes it palatable

for next month I think litecoin will climb high because for now the potential of litecoin is increasing at the beginning of the month.

Suggestion from non-crypto forum is that its new money invested based on general FOMO outside of crypto land.  The suggested strategy was that new entrants tend to deposit on Coinbase where the options are BTC (dont get much numerically, fees), ETH (slow network) and so LTC should be a strong performer in 2018. 

The strategy was posted last Friday, so i wonder if the story was being spread through the non-crypto world, and its taken off.

Do you think that lightcoin will be a very strong competitor for the etherium? I do not think that their functionality is very similar and therefore I still had to bet on the broadcast.

Where i can buy LiteCoin?

The prices are so unpredictible right now as every coin has risen. But I am searching about the coins which are in top 50 and have not risen yet. They usually have to make an attack

this is where we can say that litecoin has a great future this is what i have learned and make some prediction also and now we see that litecoin making a good performance as of now.

The entire cryptocurrency market is completely unpredictable, the ongoing price bump of Litecoin is an proof for the same. None expected such a sudden growth from Litecoin crossing $300 at the earliest within days. Recently one of my friend invested into it, and suggested me. But I didn't believed that such a big growth could happen, here to luck has got importance.

Gosh this thread blew up! Well done to everyone who joined the boat in time!  :)

The team and tech behind Litecoin will always make it a great investment and its price is deserved (in my opinion).

BTC max supply is 21 000 000 coins. Litecoin's max supply is 4 times larger. But Bitcoin costs 52 times more than Litecoin. So if LTC price rise 2-3 times more at these days it won't mean Litecoin has reached the Moon, will it?

Ah screw it i took profit on ltc this am when it was starting to drop. Probably I will buy in again but wtf take some cash

i think litecoin is promissing alt and one of top ten altcoins there in the market but rally i have no enough information about it we which to hear from prose here.

Even devs say that it`s big pump and LTC can crash, so if you don`t want to lose money, you should to do short, i think there will be big correction.

i missed the Litecoin train, but i'll try to invest now. there will be a race price between ETH and LTC in 2018, i'm sure of that. these stuff are really incredible to be held, but i lately come to know about the price, so that's why i need to invest now because i won't missed the second and third train. keep holding everybody.!!

A friend of mine asked me which coin to invest about five months ago and I told him to buy LTC. He looked the value of that day and asked me are you kidding? Now he is crying :)

I don't expect litecoin will experience such a growth  above $300, by its growth we can tell it is good to invest in litecoin as it will perform well in 2018, it is now one of the best top 10 altcoins, next to ethereum ltc is expected to be more worthy.

I have the same situation. This train missed. Also I will definitely invest in this crypto currency, because it has proved its strength! I expect a correction now and I hope that I can buy cheaper)))

My friend became interested to this coin just before it increased its price few days ago and I'm quite disappointed to myself that I didn't invest into it right away. That friend of mine is already transferring his money to LTC and he is expecting more price increase in the coming months. Fortunately, I also see this forecast and slowly but surely, I'm also accumulating this in addition to my portfolio. This coin has been tested by time and every year, it is delivering really well and providing good profit to its holders. Don't think and just accumulate this one. You'll thank me in the future.  ;)

definitely see good things coming for Litecoin in 2018. Especially with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices soaring, people will look at accumulating other coins such as this.   However it could fluctuate very quickly in the short term and even Charlie himself has expressed this. So whether you wait for a dip or jump right in would be a calculated risk for you to what you are willing to loose.

Litecoin has well risen for this month, it is necessary to buy it certainly on drawdown. Even Lee himself foresees a drawdown

i dont think it will be dumped to 150-180 .It has a potential of pumping more.considering the way its one of the fastest for transaction.
Probably it might even moon to 400-500 by the year end

It's amazing what recently worked with Litecoin, but I'm very surprised myself. Its price jumped by an amazing percentage and now you should hit, invest and wait for profits.

is one of the alt that am so impressed and i did not invest in it . . .  is it to late to invest?

Litecoin is definitely going places. There is an active developer working on Litecoin and there is a lot of people holding the coin too.

I had some ltc in previous days. I wish I would had more.
