After all Altcoins were troubled recently, Litecoin is gaining more confidence again.

But can Litecoin outperform Bitcoin or is Litecoin dead in your opinion?

Well done with expecting litecoin to outperform Bitcoin, but as far as I know it is a waste of time to speculate how best Litecoin can outperform Bitcoin to replace Bitcoin and that will never happen.

But sound great to see that Litecoin is making a recovery,  and good luck to those who bought when the price crashed along with other altcoins as mentioned by ops, but for me I will do more Bitcoin and less altcoin in this period, just to minimize my risk.

I have not expected Bitcoin to outperform Bitcoin because 1 BTC is always 1 BTC.  ???

Yes, Litecoin is more risk, bro

Sorry mate what meant is that you expecting litecoin to outperform Bitcoin,  it was a typo error but I have corrected that now and you can now have a clearer understanding of what I mean also I am glad that you know that Bitcoin is high-risk compared to bitcoin and the is a higher possibility of a pump and dumped in litecoin, but that is almost impossible for Bitcoin.

And I am hoping to read my replies from your ops, even if anyone should choose Litecoin, then it shouldn't be for long-term bases.

Litecoin is dead. What makes you think if litecoin will able to surpass bitcoin? I meant it has no further development anymore. Litecoin is still exist caused by bitcoin. it's done man for litecoin even in another thread many people talking about litecoin halving and it means nothing.

It will not give impact to the price of litecoin.

Gaining confidence? +8% in last 24 hours?
Here's some news;
Litecoin (LTC) Miners Prepare for Halving: What’s in Store for Litecoin Price? (https://beincrypto.com/ltcminers-stock-reserves-halving-event/)

We cant really say its a comeback but to anticipate that in every halving event, it turns out that it becomes standard that the price really be making some uprising movement
when halving event happens.This is why its not really that shocking that price could climb up on ladders.

We know that LTC is one of the oldest coins or projects that we do have in the market which is next to Bitcoin. About its tech then no doubt that its bit outdated compared to new ones
but still not that bad and there's still demand into it.

litecoin is not dead. But that doesn't mean it can outperform bitcoin. As everyone knows, the emergence of crypto money is thanks to bitcoin. Topics such as whether any crypto currency can surpass bitcoin or outperform bitcoin every semester. But as history always repeats itself, bitcoin has always broken its own record, showing that it is reliable and better than all cryptocurrencies at all times. He proves this not by his technology, but by showing that he is the first crypto money, that is, the king of the market.

Litecoin has the potential to have a higher market price and is not a coin to be considered dead. It is one of the early and biggest coins in this industry. But if it is surpassing the market value of Bitcoin, I highly doubt of it. In every uptrend, Bitcoin is leading the way and other coins are just following.As long as a coin is having volume, then that means it is still alive and there's still a possibility for its market price to go up. Its development on the other hand is the reason why its market value won't or struggling to multiply as much as others but an increase in the market value is the minimum. Check its chart and you'll see. Since it is one of the biggest, I guess its will also be able to recover on the next bullrun.

Litecoin halving is coming. 53 more days.
https://www.nicehash.com/countdown/ltc-halving-2023-08-06-11-00

Bitcoin is gold, Litecoin is silver. Silver can not outperform gold neither do Litecoin outperform Bitcoin.

On market, Litecoin can have outperform within a few hours, days or weeks but generally Litecoin can not outperform Bitcoin.

I just took a quick look at coinmarketcap and coingecko and to me it looks like that Litecoin took a hit just as big as most other altcoins out there and Litecoin is also not really recovering fast or coming back stronger than all the other altcoins. In terms of outperforming bitcoin. I think that there will definitely be phases over a few days or even a few weeks where Litecoin can outperform bitcoin in terms of gains for example when we get into an alt-season again.
Overall though i think that Litecoin is one of those altcoins from the very first years of cryptos that are still big but slowly but surely losing relevance. Litecoin is just not offering the same amount of functionality that Ethereum for example does.

Is it true that all altcoins have problems, I don't think so, For the state that Litecoin is dead? I don't think so either. LTC cryptocurrency is moving positively, which is good. I expected a stronger move, especially after forming the cup pattern and The price is currently trading at $87.85. to outperform Bitcoin I don't think so

In my opinion it would be wrong to consider a top altcoin of one era to be considered as dead. If you managed to buy litecoin at the less than 100$ range then hold it for a bigger sell price in future. There is no harm is holding it if the total capital invested in Litecoin is low but this becomes a personal preference. I would give it time before I exit because my holding time is longer, but you might have a different approach.

Definitely not going to outperform bitcoin. But it can outperform other coins and is a better long term store as compared to many other shitcoins.

No harm to hold Litecoin when its halving is only less than 3 months since today and Bitcoin halving is only one more year since today. In a big bull run after Bitcoin halving, Litecoin will have good recover from its price in bear market.

It won't outperform Bitcoin but it is safer than shit meme tokens either ERC20, BSC or BRC20. Litecoin is a Proof of Work coin and it is safer than mintable tokens. If you don't invest in Litecoin but invest in shit meme tokens, ask yourself why. I think many newbies (not you) fall to meme tokens and ignore top Proof of Work coins like Litecoin.

Litecoin is not dead and will not surpass bitcoin. Litecoin is firmly in its niche, but it does not have any unique features that will allow it to become the market leader. I don't know what all the altcoins experiencing problems you are talking about, but there are many altcoins right now that are growing much stronger than Litecoin, and their returns are measured in hundreds of percent. They are overtaking all the market leaders in terms of profitability, but they are not talked about much, even though they are in the top one hundred of crypto rankings. Look at the growth of OKB, for example.

As I explained in a previous post, the events of Litecoin no longer affect the currency, so that its average price is significantly higher than Bitcoin, even Halving, as an event that mainly affects Bitcoin, does not affect the price of Litecoin.

The updates made by the network are not attractive in the short term, such as privacy updates or the speed of confirming transactions. I am optimistic in the long term, but in the medium and short term, there are no indications that its price will be higher than Bitcoin or not linked to it.


There is nothing promising in the short term, and if this currency holds up for years to come, it may be promising in the long term.

I don't think much about the litecoin issue, although there are some signals and accumulated before, and also understand why the ongoing event could cause many people to pour interest in it. However, honestly, litecoin has grown independently since its creation until now, it is still the same, expanding partnerships, accepting more payments, but comparing it with btc I don't think it's necessary because it doesn't deserve to be on par with btc. Some upcoming events may bring some hype around, but as we are in the crypto market, the mainstream is still dominated and influenced by the price of btc.

I don’t think Litecoin is dead but the halving is in 51 days.

https://www.nicehash.com/countdown/ltc-halving-2023-08-06-11-00

Naturally this should make it go up shortly so if you have some, I wouldn’t be in a rush to sell it.

Litecoin should be in a better position than this by now since is mostly used for transaction due to its less withdrawal charges and besides litecoin can't outperform bitcoin while bitcoin still remains the market mover, there is no way litecoin would gain more momentum over bitcoin why all altcoin depends on bitcoin for its increment. Although there are some altcoin who gain more strength when bitcoin is down why some lose strength when bitcoin is up but i don't see litecoin to be in that position. The losers and gainers (https://coinmarketcap.com/gainers-losers/) fully explained those currency which act again bitcoin increment and decrement.

the return of litcoin does not guarantee that it will exceed btc, because as we know LTC is an obsolete coin that is trying to revive with the old system, but even though this coin is obsolete, there are still those who keep it, especially me ;D

No, it is not. It is still one of the good options to invest out there and the gambling industry always adds Litecoin in their option for betting so it will not be dead as long as there is usage, demand, and supporters. Try betting for casino originals like Crash, you will still see a lot of gamblers who prefer using Litecoin than other shitty cryptocurrencies.
I will still pick Litecoin over meme coins like Shiba or the new one in BRC-20. Somehow it's not created as a joke. From $88 to $89 in just hours, there's also a chance for those doing short-term trading to make money from this coin if they know how it's done.
About the further developments, yes there is none but it doesn't mean it's not valuable. Reputation is a big deal in these times, I'd rather wait for the value to increase in the long term as an investor than put my money on high-risk get rich fast scheme projects that will just scam you if you are not alert at monitoring their movements.

Look at Litecoin's chart and history, I don't think that it will outperform Bitcoin and even if Litecoin is gonna go through its own halving.

I am not expecting that a lot of things will happen to it. It's not dead IMO but it's not as active as before anymore. Because of that, the Litecoin in the past was more popular than today.

If it's just all about investing, you can still invest on it but you expect that it won't be explosive as bitcoin.

What do you mean by outperforming Bitcoin? We know Bitcoin is still people's favorite, while Litecoin and other coins are the second investment. Litecoin may perform well ahead of the next halving, so we can see an increase in the price of Litecoin. But I wonder if Litecoin can reach its final ATH price. Because the current price and the last ATH price are still far away, it will take time to increase unless a pump comes to Litecoin, but we can hope that it will happen soon so that we can profit again while the market hasn't fully recovered yet.

Litecoin will never surpass Bitcoin in terms of Marketcap and Litecoin will never die,
do you not know that Litecoin is one of the oldest Altcoins in this world rypto currency?
this was almost created like Bitcoin in 2013 and until 2023 Litecoin still cannot outperform Bitcoin,
so we already know that Litecoin will be Altcoin forever.

Litecoin will always follow amd mirror bitcoin at best.  In little spurts they might outpace bitcoin but once bitcoin gets moving people will switch back over.  That's not a knock on litecoin but other than fees at some point there is no reason one would necessarily need litecoin in lieu of bitcoin.  Enjoy the mini pump but it won't be sustainable.

I don't think that any of alternative coin has capable to outperform Bitcoin and I also think that it won't gonna also happen and that doesn't means that lite coin is dead in my opinion. In my opinion Litecoin is one of the best alt-coin I always put it after the Ethereum, BNB . If anyone chooses an alternative for the long term, I would suggest Litecoin. Despite the ups and downs of the market, they have remained fairly stable, though not entirely stable. So lite coin won't be dead you can choose it for you investment.

Well technically it's not dead, it still gets developed and works like a test platform for bitcoin upgrades. But frankly only fundamental reason i see for price growth would be that halving. It's just not exciting enough or cutting edge enough for majority to jump in. Obviously there will be influencers shilling it again after it rises as they need to get rid of their bags and people will believe that hype again, only to realize later that they were part of sucker cycle and new bag holders trying to dca their way to surface.

Litecoin is not a bad coin with a large community. You can't say it's worse now than it was before. It's just that altcoins have a bear market right now, so prices are not rising, although litecoin like bitcoin is worth twice as much as the last bottom. Litecoin will not be able to grow apart from the market, but when the bulls come in, it will definitely show good growth. I consider investing in Litecoin to be a safe investment.

In my opinion, neither of both. I guess the Litecoin price will very likely move very much in parallel to Bitcoin's, only some steps lower.

Litecoin is imo a good long time investment, and I would not be surprised if it returns into the top 10 by marketcap. You can already see that it's not dead and constantly evolving because they only relatively recently integrated MWEB as a technology which is still far from being implemented in BTC. They also pretty fastly adapted Ordinals (and on LTC it makes much more sense than on BTC).

And in terms of the transaction "density" (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-doge-ltc-dash-xmr.html#3m) Litecoin has got quite close to Bitcoin (although Doge is now outperforming both, most likely due to Doginals):

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/06/10/A6mhI.png

Volume was only coming from the speculators and not actual users. Since any tokens can be used as payment system and there's no reason to use litecoin anymore. It's a live caused by it's relying on bitcoin and no more. Litecoin doesn't have development progress anymore.
The owner of litecoin has been leaving from this coin since he was getting lots of money from there. Litecoin doesn't even have money for further development.

The current price of litecoin is 87$, but litecoin has become very popular a few days ago. After the dumping of bitcoin, the price of litecoin has decreased a lot. However, the price of litecoin may increase for a long time.  Some money was invested. I am in a lot of losses now. But if one day the price of litecoin increases again, my losses will be recovered.

Once upon a time litecoin was believed to become one of the most important coins in this market, as some saw in bitcoin the equivalent of gold and they saw in litecoin the equivalent of silver, so those people expected that bitcoin will become a store of value rarely used on transactions while litecoin became the most widely used coin.

But those days are far behind us and since then it seems litecoin has failed to fulfill its potential, and with this in mind any idea that litecoin could outperform bitcoin during the next months or years seems unfounded.

I agree that it is better than it was a few years ago, but probably worse than it was a decade ago. It is not at the top three, that's going to be a trouble in the end and we shouldn't really be seeing this type of situation. I believe that we shouldn't really be seeing Litecoin all that much, it shouldn't really be a worry and we would probably see it do a lot better.

I hope that it doesn't get that much worse, I think it is looking good and there is a good top 10 place for it in the future, that shouldn't be a deal. I think it would be a big deal if it goes to top 5, and I do not think that it will reach there, but if you remove all the stablecoins from the rankings, then there is a chance that the highest ceiling is top 5.

The price of Litecoin may increase very soon. However, the price of all altcoins rises and falls above the Bitcoin market, so when the price of Bitcoin increases, the price of all altcoins including Litecoin will increase. However, the current price of Litecoin is to buy some Litecoin now.  If you can, when the market is good, you can make a lot of profit. It is the right time to invest in all altcoins, including Litecoin. If we can use this time, we will get a lot of profit.

What about Litecoin forks? Could those also be on the spotlight?
Litecoin forks such as Cyberyen could result good for long term.
CY is privacy focused, so it offers something extra than just an average fork of LTC.

Today Litecoin fell below $ 80 and now the price is already $ 76 because the price of Bitcoin is being dumped today,
even though Litecoin is predicted to come back because the halving is soon, so hopefully in Q3-Q4 this altcoin season can happen.

I don think comeback is an applicable term for Litecoin, the thing is Litecoin was never lost or gone but it's never get very popular either. Litecoin is something like mediocre coin, it is exist it's fine but that's all, hoping Litecoin to catch other advanced altcoin like Ethereum or BNB is a waste, let alone Bitcoin, for Litecoin to outperform Bitcoin will need a true magic.

Litecoin its like a little sister for Bitcoin, so we can expect if BTC its doing good LTC its going to do good also.

LTC its the way to make payments when you need to send little ammounts of the BTC network its congested.

Did you read my comment or not?

Because I have never said, Litecoin would surpass Bitcoin. I have said outperfom Bitcoin. Outperform does not mean overtake.
It is just about a medium-term investment comparison.

Plz learn reading.

I have used and invested in Litecoin before and I must say that is one of those altcoins which even though it has a proven track record and was created back then before crypto was plagued with scamming projects it is very underestimated.

Perhaps it is due to the public or much of the most greedy part of the crypto community is not interested in simple PoW alts like Litecoin or Dash anymore. Now it is about NFTs, Decentralized contracts, AI, people are always looking to anticipate on the next big thing in order to make a lot of money, instead appreciating Litecoin for what it is and what it does.

Litecoin is a great project. I used to make transactions with Litecoin and it was very fast and smooth.
Litecoin already has a good foundation to become the top coin in cryptocurrencies. I still believe that Litecoin still has a bright future.
I still have some of the Litecoins I bought from 2018-2020 and I think I still have an advantage buying them back then  ;D

It's worth looking into Litecoin forks that focus on privacy such as Cyberyen.   8)

It seems both term are the same. I even check the synonym of outperform and one of it is overtake. If you don't mean it then you better clear it before so that people won't comment negatively about your post, if you are not used to it.

Moving on, Litecoin halving is earlier than in Bitcoin so maybe yes that Litecoin will experience a nice bump in its price while Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto are still staying put but we that own them and not LTC shouldn't worry because the hype of LTC might not last long enough. We will also have our own moment. It's just that LTC holders experience it first. They deserved it because it's been a long time ever since LTC pumps.

Litecoin has a chance to reach at least $ 150 when viewed from technical analysis,
but remember that support at $ 50 can also be reached because currently bitcoin is still in the confusion zone,
just wait until the Bitcoin price can break $ 30k then buy Litecoin and hold it until after the halving.

I agree that predicting whether Litecoin will outperform Bitcoin is quite speculative, and it's unlikely that Litecoin will replace Bitcoin as the leading cryptocurrency. If you can see it's great to see Litecoin recovering after the recent market crash, and those who bought during the dip might benefit from it. That it's a waste of time to speculate on whether Litecoin can outperform Bitcoin or replace it. While Litecoin has its merits, it's unlikely to surpass the dominance of Bitcoin in the market. In terms of investment strategy, focusing more on Bitcoin and less on altcoins during this period to minimize risk seems like a reasonable approach.

Litecoin is probably one of the few old coins that have risen well after last year's bottom. But there is a chance that the halving of Litecoin will not have a significant impact on the price. There is no need to compare the halving of Bitcoin and Litecoin. Either way it's  altcoin, which are not as interesting as Bitcoin.

All Altcoins has strong relationship with btc price. sometimes we see some coins performing well while btc price falling. the reason of this is any big update or special news for any coins which make this coins buyer stronger and they not selling coins even if Market crash Litecoin price performance was due to its halving which will happen soon and investors believe that ltc demand will be high and buyer increases their LTC holding and we saw nice pump in Ltc price.

there are a lot hesitation, we don't even know if the halving truly significant for lite coin since the coin itself has been stagnant, many kept saying that the halving will increase the value of the coin, but we all know this coin has been stagnant for long, i doubt the halving will be of any effect.

Don't get me wrong, even though the price of Litecoin has been stagnant for a very long time,
historically the price of Litecoin after the halving has also experienced a bull run, the first halving in 2011 and 2023 Litecoin pump,
the second halving in 2015 and 2017 Litecoin pump, and the third halving in 2019 and 2021 Litecoin pump,
then the fourth halving in 2023 and I'm sure 2025 will also pump and even reach new ath, so don't worry because history will repeat itself.

Litecoin can outperform Bitcoin when it comes to profit percentage, and I think LTC is not dead its just that the market is on a bear market right now and its affected as well. Look at the trend for long term, I’m confident LTC will pump soon, also you have to consider the upcoming updates with LTC, and that’s the halving, the price will pump after that for sure.

All Altcoins have strong relationship with btc price. Sometimes we see some coins doing well while btc price goes down. The reason for this is any major update or special news for any coin that makes the buyer of these coins strong.And even if the market falls they are not selling the coins, investors believe that Litecoin price performance will happen soon as the halving will happen and the demand for ltc will be high. And buyer increase their LTC holding and we saw good bump in Ltc price.

it's quite hard to say that litecoin is dead meanwhile its market capitalization is among the highest.
Honestly i'd say that lite coin is far from dead, right now there are halving events thats gonna be coming but we still don't know how significant this will be.
after all, there are many halving events occurred in other coin like bitcoin which bears no significance towards the price and i don't really sure either with
the case of litecoin since it's chart resembles that of bitcoin I guess it will be pretty much the same.

Litecoin ever since Charlie Lee resigned from the team has been a stagnant, and doesn't have any big updates aside from the Mimblewimble update.
I don't know if there are some big updates that happened within the project, but nevertheless, they have been out in the limelight for years already, and nobody is talking about that coin anymore.

Now can Litecoin outperform Bitcoin? The only advantages Litecoin has over Bitcoin is the low transaction fee, profitability, and transaction speed, but overall, Bitcoin has the advantage, and to answer that, it's a no. I mean can you imagine a coin that has little to no update can outperform the top cryptocurrency right now in terms of market cap? I'm a bit surprised that it's still in the top 50 despite of it not being talked on the internet for years. Well, it did drop down to below the top 10 though.

Now is Litecoin dead? I'm not a holder of Litecoin, but they have a big community that's why they are still at the top 50 right now in terms of market cap. There are still people who are using Litecoin for various reasons. Many exchanges are still accepting Litecoin because it has been there for a long time, and the trust has been built. It's just that there aren't no big updates from the project for years.

It will never gonna be overcome bitcoins because it has been no working way to do that since the beginning of its creation. all it can do is stay on the market because everything about its updates is no other new things to introduce and in this kind of crypto market, you need to have some kinds of new innovative things to compete because almost every day they introduced something new and working also the investors wanted to support it as long as it makes sense for them.

I can say no to both questions. I don't think Litecoin can outperform Bitcoin because of the upcoming halving in 52 days by the time I wrote this post. I also don't think Litecoin is dead because the strong community and supports from the long-user and one of the old coins out there that does still exist and survive despite so many competitions among other altcoins in the market, decent market cap and price should be enough reason to convince Litecoin is not dead. I'm not a fan of Litecoin but still using it time to time for easier transfer to other wallet because of low fees and fast transaction speed.

It's not dead, but it definitely won't be able to outperform Bitcoin. I still have some LTC and will keep holding it, but I don't have too much faith in it.

That doesn't stop it from growing further, without Lee's involvement.


It's never going to happen.


The experience of bitcoin and ETH shows perfectly that a coin's transaction cost advantage is of extremely low importance for that coin's adopting and leading qualities.

I consider Charlie Lee's resignation positive for LTC. It has since then become more decentralized, and more similar to Bitcoin. It's even possible that with Charlie Lee still as undiscuted leader, Litecoin would be today among the coins classified as a "security" by the SEC.

Yes, because the cryptocurrency media is full of paid trash by premined centralized coins with zero innovation, all based on the PBFT consensus (https://www.pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/osdi99.pdf) from ... 1999. There are however increasing complaints about this kind of "native advertising" in crypto media, I believe legal action will soon follow. And the recent move by the SEC, and the upcoming MiCa regulation in Europe will cut the market for centralized coins drastically.

Centralized coins in the recent past had an advantage because they can create premined coins out of thin air to pay for bounties, airdrops and marketing. I believe this will perhaps not come to an end still, but slow down considerably.

It's well possible that both LTC and Monero, for me the leading decentralized coins, will be in the top 10 in 1-2 years again, once the dust has cleared and most centralized "security coins" have been dumped down to a fraction of their current value. I'm a bit less positive about Doge but it still holds well. And other decentralized no-security coins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456378.msg62407618#msg62407618) like Grin, Groestlcoin, Peercoin, Namecoin and Signum (ex Burst) could re-enter the top 100.

There are only a few days left until the 4th Litecoin halving,
if you look at the Litecoin chart then you will understand that the halving of Litecoin is a bullish start and a bearish end,
and of course this 4th halving will definitely repeat its history.
The Litecoin price is currently at $73 and if you don't start accumulating then you will miss this great opportunity.

Litecoin is as old as many other first altcoins that is similar in design like Bitcoin but it's a little bit faster than bitcoin but you should know that the reason why Litecoin is trending is because of its halving, where miners reward becomes divided by half like the way bitcoin always does in every four years and that is why it's having attention, nothing much and I don't believe if Litecoin will go more than were it is right now but may be if bitcoin later has some pump, it will increase in price but it's too little to outperform bitcoin.

Litecoin can never outperform Bitcoin, especially when it's an altcoin. Demand for LTC is pretty low, because nowadays investors prefer smart contract platforms with NFTs and stablecoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). What I do like about Litecoin is that it's much cheaper and faster to use than Bitcoin for day-to-day payments. With a limited supply of only 84m units, we could say Litecoin is like "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold".

The development team recently added a privacy feature called "Mimblewimble" which should differentiate LTC from BTC in the long run. This didn't "pump" LTC's price on the market, probably because of the lack of marketing/promotion from the team. But at least, everything is working as it should. With many exchanges supporting LTC, I don't think the cryptocurrency will disappear anytime soon. Maybe it will live alongside BTC for generations? Just my thoughts ;D

Investors? Kiddies you mean.
Smartchain has a risk with POS. More than with POW.

There are a number of reasons why Litecoin can be a better choice for day-to-day payments and transactions when compared to Bitcoin, such as its faster block generation times and lower transaction fees. It has established a niche for itself as a payment-focused cryptocurrency and has gained acceptance and a following in certain industries and communities as a result.

There is no doubt that each cryptocurrency has its own strengths, weaknesses, and possible uses, and so it is important to take note of this fact. For various purposes, Litecoin's focus on being a reliable and efficient payment method can still be relevant even though Ethereum's support for NFTs and DApps has led it to gain significant popularity. However, Ethereum and other smart contract platforms have gained significant popularity for their support of NFTs and decentralized applications.

Well LTC has also NFTs: :)

Ord-Litecoin (https://github.com/ynohtna92/ord-litecoin)

While I think Doge is better suited for this whole meme coin/ordinals fad (Disclaimer: I don't own any Doge, too volatile ;) ), it has still not adopted Taproot so LTC had an advantage there. And there seems to be quite some usage (https://decrypt.co/140608/litecoin-experiences-highest-blockchain-activity-thanks-to-ordinals) of this feature (while it waned a bit after the Ordinals craze slowed down, it's still almost doubling the pre-ordinals transaction density) (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-ltc-xmr-dash.html#3m).

Regarding stablecoins: Centralized stablecoins are very easy to deploy on all BTC-based blockchains because there are lots of token protocols (Omni, Counterparty, now also the ultra-inefficient BRC-20 :(, but also Taproot Assets/RGB may be adopted by LTC). What would be more difficult are algorithmic stablecoins. I'm not totally sure, but I believe that in the past Tether or USDC had also a LTC token.

I think that is a bit of an unknown situation, I wouldn't be able to say litecoin wouldn't outperform bitcoin, but I also wouldn't be able to say it wouldn't outperform neither, I can't say which one will happen. I think it is going to be a bit of a different situation and we would have to learn to just wait and see, that is the hardest thing in the crypto world, we need to act quickly if we want to profit and sometimes taking our time and waiting to see what is going to happen is a bit of a different situation.

I think it is going to be a tough situation if we act quickly because nobody really knows what is going to happen, so we just need to make sure that it is going to be a bit of a tough situation that should be the important thing, just wait and see what will happen.

Don't worry, another 48 days and Litecoin will be bullish,
currently Litecoin is in rank 10 and before that Litecoin was able to be in the top 10,
I'm sure LTC will replace SOL in the top 10 because for me LTC deserves more to be there than SOL.

Litecoin is not dead. Litecoin is a good coin at the moment. Not that Litecoin will ever outperform Bitcoin. Bitcoin is one of the best coins in the crypto world which helps all the coins to go well. Hopefully ltc coin will go to a good position.

Well that sucks. I can't imagine how bloated LTC will be once the NFT hype makes a comeback. It will increase on-chain fees, greatly defeating LTC's purpose as digital money for day-to-day payments. Developers should leave NFTs to smart contract blockchains like ETH and BSC, while leaving BTC, LTC, and DOGE alone. Ultimately, the community will decide the best path forward for these cryptocurrencies.

While LTC now has NFT features, there hasn't been any major movement in market prices. The majority is still focused on other coins, particularly those with staking and smart contract features. Only Bitcoin is the exception because it's the one cryptocurrency that started it all. At least, Litecoin has strong support from mainstream exchanges. Nearly every crypto exchange has a trading pair with LTC. Maybe it will survive alongside BTC in the future? Just my opinion :)

Hopefully they don't, NFT is as Stupid as believing an ordinary stamp will get you a million next year. You need a buyer in order to make a profit. Bundles of people in German Forums have been subjects in a criminal investigation as they claim to have sold a NFT collection for 50 k. And that in Crypto winter.
 

Litecoin is one of the potential Altcoins, therefore it is impossible for it to just die because it is still in great demand by traders and investors. it's just that the development team needs to be able to compete with other projects in order to raise its ranking.
However, to outperform Bitcoin will certainly not be possible, if the target is to become the top Altcoin ranking, of course, it still has the potential and hope to be able to compete with other Altcoins.

Not a lot of people realize that, litecoin has been around for a long time and it will continue to exist for a long time as well, there is no possibility of it dying anytime soon, that's just not possible. Too many people act as if we are talking about some meme project, this is litecoin we are talking about and it has been around since 2011 and it is still near the top 10 level after all these years. Why would something can be high on the rankings for over a decade and somehow go away suddenly?

We would need to face a situation where it would not make any type of sense anyway and that's not the point and it can't ever be the point at all. I believe that the best thing to do in this case is to make sure that we are at a good level and that can only happen given enough time.

The competition is pretty stiff these days. There are so many coins out there with attractive features. If Litecoin wants to get all of the attention, the team is going to need to increase marketing/promotion efforts. It's all about the brand. Not the cryptocurrency itself. You can see how ETH is doing better than LTC, even though ETH has a much higher supply. VCs, institutional investors, and whales are all into ETH.

Suprisingly, LTC has managed to stay relevant in the competitive crypto market. It may not have much demand compared to other coins, but it's one of the most accepted cryptocurrencies in the world. Nearly every exchange has an LTC trading pair. It's possible LTC will survive alongside BTC and ETH for generations. As long as it stays decentralized, we should have nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts ;D

Litecoin is still stable at $ 80 to $ 90, of course we have to monitor if we want to buy Litecoin,
especially now that Bitcoin is also bullish, so there's no worry about buying altcoins like Litecoin,
if Litecoin is indeed sideways ahead of the halving, of course that's very good, because whales are also accumulating.
I think $100 for Litecoin wil be reached.

I agree with you. Also, I'm used to thinking about Litecoin as a currency, not as an investment. So for me, price doesn't really matter, I'm using LTC because of fast, cheap, and secure transactions. And I think I'm not the only one.

Seems not to be so much of a problem. See Johoe's stats site (https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#LTC,30d,weight): the NFT craze in the second week of June only led to a minuscule increase in fees, and with the lowest possible fee (which is much lower than 0.1 USD cent) you always got your transaction through in a few hours.

Take into account that the "capacity" of LTC is higher than Bitcoin's. There's the same 4 vMB limit (see the code here in consensus.h (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/src/consensus/consensus.h#L18)) as for Bitcoin for every block - but blocks are deployed each 2.5 minutes. So the capacity of LTC is four times Bitcoin's.

Of course if the NFT fad was extended in time, the bloat could have led to a heavier blockchain, making running full LTC nodes more expensive. But the current NFT craze was a quite short-lived craze (a couple of months) and impacted BTC more than LTC.

So I'm quite neutral on this - I'm against NFTs on BTC, but on LTC they can have their niche.

You can't prevent anybody of developing a NFT platform for any blockchain. Take into account that NFTs were invented on Bitcoin in 2015/16 (Rare Pepes etc.).

Anyway, if what gmaxwell wrote here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5452159.msg62379210#msg62379210) is true, then NFTs on blockchains will have a quite bleak future. It seems to be possible that the principle that every full node has to download all blocks of the chain at the start to validate it, will be eventually replaced with another mechanism. That would liberate full nodes from the requirement to store NFTs on-chain on Bitcoin-based coins like LTC.

All the altcoins have same risk of POS most especially now that Ethereum who is the driving force for altcoins moved it network to 2.0 which make it fully proof of stake rather than proof of work,  and just as we have always said that there are security disadvantages with proof of stakes and that is something investors should worry about so no matter what becomes the reality of any coin,  it doesn't have a guaranteed security so long it's proof of stake their is possible control of a few how have higher liquidity in the pools to control the transactions.

Litecoin is one of the good altcoins we have around but Litecoin is no different from ETH And the rest so it can never compete with Bitcoin as a proof of work coin,  even with all the colleges that come with that.

nowadays people prioritize projects that give more than 3x or 4x profits, so when they look at altcoins like litecoin people already know that litecoin is not a 3x or 4x profit project unless bitcoin price goes up a lot, so if they put money into litecoin it will probably be a small amount of money they will just be expecting a 2x return because it will be a temporary price increase because people will sell soon because they don't see litecoin as a project that will have a big increase of price over the years

litecoin is an old altcoin, which has already given all it had to give, that's in most people's minds, so people are chasing the altcoins that follow the trend, like these meme altcoins, which are copies of dogecoin, like doge coin it's backed by a big billionaire so they keep creating a lot of meme coins to take advantage of the situation, unfortunately people would rather spend money on these meme coins than put it in already established altcoins like litecoin, i use litecoin for my bets and not as a source for investment, for investment I prefer bitcoin which is safer

Ltc is indeed one of the alternative coins for transactions, the lack of transaction fees makes Ltc very popular with most traders, this is what has made Ltc survive to this day.
In fact, it's not only available on various exchanges, most gambling platforms certainly provide options for this type of coin to bet on

If only a coin that had been around for a long time had such a strong development team, maybe the current order of coins
1.Bitcoin
2.Ethereum
3.Dogecoin
4.Litecoin
5.Xrp
6.Waves

And other new types of coins

Look at Litecoin back in the top 10 again because previously Litecoin was under Tron,
yes this is good news because Litecoin is also going to do a halving,
so you can start buying Litecoin today because Litecoin's target can reach $300 or even $600 this year.

changes continue to occur for LTC currently under Tron and it is possible that it will return to above Tron, the situation is indeed very unpredictable. LTC seems to be different from what it does with BTC, it's always going to move earlier than BTC moves, of course it's great but when BTC rises sharply LTC can't do that. I think LTC will move early when the halving occurs. but maybe the achievement will not be as many times as the last ATH, if you look at what has been done, maybe you are right, that LTC can reach $ 600 but not this year but 2025.

Yeah with what's happening to Litecoin I think we need to take advantage of this time to buy,
for sure this is a great start for Litecoin,
hope there will be further developments and the price can go up.

In fact, litecoin is like other coins—a coin in the early stages of cryptography when nothing really was too different from bitcoin. So even at the present time, although this year Litecoin has made positive moves compared to recent projects, especially Layer 2 projects, I think it is still too small. But really, one point I find litecoin to do well is that, like tron, it is integrated quite a lot for payment in a faster form than bitcoin. This is a good thing that I see in Litecoin, so it is probably the reason why the coin is still active and still has a community of users.

It is not going  to outperform bitcoin. Do you have any reasons to support that logic ?

It's a good currency, but it doesn't seem like it has a big and strong community, almost no one talks about it on social media at least. I mean, I like it I wish it all the best, but I'm not so sure its future is that bright.

The Litecoin halving is less than a month away if you haven't bought Litecoin from now then you can I'm sure you will regret it,
Litecoin current price is still at the $80 level and if $100 breaks then Litecoin will go to the moon easily.
because the strongest resistance from litecoin is $ 100 and support from litecoin is at $ 70,
if the price of litecoin drops to $ 70 then you certainly have to be careful.

litecoin will not be death nor will be outperformed bitcoin, it will stay side by side with bitcoin in this crypto world. just like good old days when the first time bitcoin going $1300 and litecoin goes to $41 at top. but yes i agree another altcoin is just another shit coin except the coin with real use case like combo for gaming. litecoin, monero and dash will stay forever mate

all altcoins troubled ? please explain what the problem is?
if all altcoins are troubled of course the same thing will happen to litecoin because litecoin is part of altcoins.
and one more thing, I'm sure there will never be an altcoin that will beat bitcoin.

All are never ever troubled.  
There are 25 000 Altcoins or even more.
So the ones which haven't done their homework have problems. Could be a few 1000s.    

Litecoin is not shit coin and Its used for transaction. most people like it for low fee and you can buy many services by paying through ltc.  All time high of LTC is 400$ and if see the current price, its 4 time lower. Litecoin halving could once again again reach LTC price to ATH. In my view current time is worthy to hold some Litecoin.

In my opinion, nothing beats bitcoin, especially litecoin. Yes, Litecoin wins on transactions that are 4 times faster due to the reduced block generation time, but it is also quite risky.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But even though LTC has greater transaction capacity, it could still get clogged in the future if the NFT hype persists. I think I can live with NFTs on LTC, as long as they all move away from Bitcoin. The community will utimately decide if it wants to keep NFTs on the BTC blockchain or approve developers' proposal to block Ordinals inscriptions for good. No matter where NFTs are deployed, we can't deny the fact that ETH is and will always be the #1 platform for these kinds of tokens.

LTC is doing good for now, so don't expect it to disappear anytime soon. With Litecoin's block reward halving right around the corner (August 2, 2023), we should expect market prices to "pump" albeit for a short period of time. Just my opinion :)

Litecoin has now demonstrated to her investor for a month that it is not a dead coin but rather a lucrative coin. The fact that the price of Litecoin has increased significantly indicates that it is still active. However, it cannot be used to make pricing or other comparisons to bitcoin. In every way, Bitcoin is superior to Litecoin.

What specific area may Litecoin outperform Bitcoin in? Is it based on cost, market dominance, or ranking?

Litecoin is currently trading at $88 while bitcoin is ranging beyond $30,000. The all-time high (ATH) of Litecoin was $412 during the previous bull run, and it currently holds the eleventh position on the CMC with a market dominance of 0.54%. Contrarily, bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrency projects with an ATH of $68k, a market dominance of 50%, and. I don't see any alternative coins, let alone Litecoin, taking that position from her.

I beg to differ:
Technically Litecoin is much more advanced than Bitcoin.

Its faster transfer speed is unparalleled in the decentral coin scene. Peck that to a very favourable transfer price.

ltc may have its advantages over btc. however, when it comes to popularity, we can't deny the fact that btc is still on top. for me, why not use both and take advantage of what they offer? ltc is one of the oldest alts and still being use today owed to its cheap tx fees and its availability. but people are more into btc when it comes to investment. so it is up to us how we will use these 2 currencies to our own advantage.
people can dig deep when it comes to technicalities but at the end of the day, people care most is if they can save money and earn profits from it. so whichever, you think is best with your situation, you can use them both at your own discretion.

Oh, that's a topic we could discuss for months ;)

The higher "transaction speed" (smaller block time, more precisely) has also disadvantages (more orphan blocks). But I read that Litecoin's "speed" with current Internet bandwidth/latency is doing well (some years ago already, so I don't remember the link), and we have to take into account that ETH had a much shorter block time even when it was still running with PoW. In 2009 however, Bitcoin's values were more reasonable.

You could also mention MWEB of course as an "more advanced" feature.

But one does not have to forget where most of the other innovations Litecoin has adopted came from: Bitcoin. I think "on its own" it unlikely that the Litecoin devs were to develop Segwit and Taproot, and many more innovations.

Basically I consider the differences the result of design decisions based on the stability/feature richness equation. Litecoin can be a bit more cutting edge and experimental with features like MimbleWimble, where a more thorough testing/discussion would be needed for BTC.

Well I think the bulls are getting ready for this LTC halving. The previous all time hashrate of 800 terahashes/second was just passed on Wednesday.

The new all time high LTC hashrate is 958.36 Th/s. This is bullish news for LTC halving in 34 days from now.

https://www.newsbtc.com/news/litecoin/litecoin-bull-case-grows-stronger-as-hashrate-touches-new-all-time-high/

Having some people attack a good thing is in the nature of the world we live in right now. Obviously it is not a shitcoin and obviously it is a great project that helped a lot of people profit. Think about it, we are talking about making a profit that is huge sized, it is making profit since 2011 if I am not mistaken, and it is still near the top 10 as well.

How could something that is this good ever be a shitcoin, it is impossible. But at the same time, if it wasn't getting attacked then I am sorry but that would show how terrible it is. Think about all the sports greats and business greats, people attack lebron, ronaldo, messi, amazon, apple and so much more, that just something that comes with being a great thing at whatever you are about.

Litecoin is one of the oldest and most reliable altcoins in the crypto space. It has proven its ability to survive and adapt to changing market conditions. However, it still faces stiff competition from Bitcoin, which has a much larger and more loyal user base. Litecoin is not dead, but it is not a threat to Bitcoin either.

Litecoin being the tecnincal enhancement of Bitcoin is far from Dead.
Es ist und bleibt ein ideales Zahlungmittel.

Yeah after long time i see Litecoin is showing big pumping and i am surprised to see that now it's top 9 position in the coinmarketcap data.
But do not think that Litecoin is able to outperform Bitcoin it is never possible, Bitcoin marketcap is 593 billion dollar vs Litecoin 8 billion dollar marketcap, you can see that a big difference both of coin.

It won't and it can't. We do all know that Litecoin is just a little brother to bitcoin and they are mold on the same code.

And maybe it also benefited from the recent rise in prices, as it soars to more than 14%, and perhaps there is a renewed interest from investors specially as they know how solid Litecoin is and so they continue to fill their bags and hoping for a big run in the next bull run.

So I'm not surprised though, I don't have Litecoin but I still see it as one solid coin that if newbies are going to invest, they should include this one.

Litecoin is the one of the good project as like TRX,USDT.The litecoin had huge future,if you plan to buy the good coin for the longer profit.The litecoin will be the better option,because it’s old and long run project and coin price was stable one.So it’s expected one to reach the next pump in short period of time.Better option to inverse in litecoin before the next halves of 2024.The next bull run will occur in crypto currency in next year.

Litecoin is one of my investments in 2017. I see it as a good coin. Litecoin has a smooth transaction speed. I once thought that Litecoin would be ranked #3 under BTC and ETH. But some problems, such as the lack of development, keep the price down.

I can't believe Litecoin is coming back. I am currently monitoring and I noticed a 41% drop in trading volume which means no steady increase in trading from Litecoin itself.

I don't agree, the main issue which is hindering Litecoin is no marketing  whatsoever.
About 100 people post on twitter, facebook, Instagram wherever they are. But that is no marketing.

Many of the litecoin users like it that way.

Actually we can all see why people are paying so much attention to it lately, when our overall market trend is still pretty bad, some favorable events will be accompanied by hype. about news to push the price of LTC, for me, LTC is also very good, but I do not use it much, because of course it is not different from BTC, and is just an altcoin, of course the bull wave is always forced by the symbol present with BTC, but not comparing them. I think the halving event is only a small part of the next plan information that LTC may soon release to attract more attention in the near future.

Litecoin was a "clone" of Bitcoin with a few minor tweaks (mainly a reduced block time, higher max supply, and different PoW algorithm). Things have changed completely once developers added the "Mimblewimble" privacy feature to the LTC blockchain. But that wasn't enough to "pump" LTC's price, because the vast majority of investors are into "meme" coins and cryptocurrencies with smart contract capabilities (eg: ETH, ADA, BNB, etc.). It's all about "De-Fi", NFTs, and memes these days. Don't expect LTC to rise unless BTC turns extremely-bullish. It's likely LTC will go to $1k once BTC goes all the way to $1m in the future.

Despite the stagnant market prices, Litecoin is one of the most tried-and-tested blockchain networks in the industry. It's been running fine without issues since day one (AFAIK). You don't see that on newer coins such as Solana and Polygon. LTC is listed in almost any crypto exchange you could imagine, so don't count on its disappearance anytime soon. Who knows if it lives for generations? Just my opinion :)

How on earth could Litecoin possibly outperform Bitcoin? That's hilarious. Litecoin is indeed a fork of Bitcoin, but it has been overshadowed by other coins in the past few years and has fallen quite a few ranks on Coinmarketcap. The past few months, though, have shown a decent performance, which is quite contradictory because the market has severely suffered while Litecoin didn't, even when the market was at its lowest. I remember Litecoin being valued at $54 less than a year ago; it's now worth $110, which is more than double its value within a matter of a few months, something that Bitcoin or other coins haven't achieved in 2023.

I'm not sure if LTC has gained more confidence, but the price has jumped from $86 to $111 in the last few days. This suggests that more people are buying LTC than selling, which in turn pushes the price up. And this is connected with the upcoming LTC halving. I think people are convinced that after this event, the price of LTC will rise even more, which will allow for more profit. This, in my opinion, was the reason for the current increase in interest to LTC, and not confidence at all. That is, speculative self-interest.

I am 120% sure that LTC will never outperform BTC and in my opinion this coin is more dead than alive. Well, or barely breathing.

As far as I know that Litecoin cannot outperform Bitcoin. To date, Bitcoin remains the dominant cryptocurrency with a much larger market capitalization than Litecoin. However, Litecoin is not dead because Litecoin still has a role and value in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Moreover, Litecoin can be used as an alternative for small transactions or as a tool to diversify a crypto portfolio.

Exactly. LTC simply won't outperform BTC because it's an altcoin. The price hike is only because of the hype surrounding the upcoming block reward halving. The effects will be short-lived, as LTC lacks momentum to keep itself afloat in an industry with stiff competition. For Litecoin to get the attention of serious investors and traders alike, it's going to need to do a lot more than just adopting the LN, SegWit, Taproot, and the "Mimblewimble" privacy feature.

The day LTC gets smart contract features (which I doubt that'll ever happen), while be the day when LTC's price will be "pumped" like crazy. I'm fine with LTC just the way it is. As long as decentralization is preserved, the cryptocurrency should be able to last a lifetime. Just my opinion :)

It is clear that even the best altcoin, namely Ethereum, is difficult to beat Bitcoin, especially Litecoin, which is further in rank than Ethereum,
it's not dead yet but the progress so far hasn't been significant,
Litecoin remains one of the potential coins but we shouldn't expect too much.

LTC has experienced a recent price jump and there is excitement surrounding the upcoming halving event, it's important to consider the broader context.

Indeed, LTC being an altcoin means that it may struggle to outperform BTC in terms of market dominance and recognition. The price increase we're witnessing could be driven more by speculative self-interest and short-term hype rather than sustained confidence in the coin.

To truly compete in the cryptocurrency industry, LTC will need more than just the adoption of various technological features like the Lightning Network, SegWit, Taproot, or privacy enhancements like "Mimblewimble." While these advancements are positive, they might not be sufficient to propel LTC to the same level as BTC or other prominent cryptocurrencies.

The potential for LTC to incorporate smart contract capabilities could certainly attract greater attention and generate significant price movement. However, it remains to be seen if such a development will materialize. Nonetheless, maintaining decentralization and ensuring the longevity of the cryptocurrency are essential factors to consider.

Exactly those were a bad Idea. People only see the smart contract bubble. They don't see the % of fraud going on the too smart contrtact scene.
Litecoin has a pretty good infrastructure when living in the US you get a Credit card i.e.

Video games are cool.
Web3 video games are generally not, but it can be fixed.
Neon Link is changing that with their own team of legendary designers and developers. You won't regret it when you get to know it better. Be on the alert, because on July 13 there will be a sale of coins.

When the bitcoin fees skyrocketed the use of litecoin increased, because of its zero fee feature and fast transaction time. Litecoin is a good altcoin to bitcoin, could remember most people got introduced to litecoin as a payment method to avoid the high fees of bitcoin. Since most of them never stopped using litecoin even now the fees of bitcoin transaction is normal and low, it's enough to help the price of litecoin to increase, added with the bullish price of bitcoin. Although, personally, litecoin is hard to hodl as it's always swift and fast to spend.

Well I do not think Litecoin will outperform Bitcoin. But this does not mean we will not be seeing some big profits soon. And still up 25% in last 7 days. This is most gains for all the top 10 coins in coinmarketcap.

Halving is only a few weeks way now. Litecoin is now in top 10 for coinmarketcap with #10 position. Was #9 yesterday but now did switch with SOL and not far ahead.

https://ambcrypto.com/litecoin-one-more-roadblock-to-130-level/

While I don't think LTC will outperform BTC, I'm glad it's getting the attention it deserves. Investors are noticing its deflationary benefits with subsequent block halvings. You can see how LTC's market prices are "pumping" as the next halving event approaches. If only LTC retained its market price after the halving, it would've been a great alternative to Bitcoin as a store of value. Unfortunately, past halvings have shown us LTC's market prices take a step back after a short "pumping" period. There isn't enough momentum to keep LTC valuable.

At least, we know Litecoin won't be going anywhere soon. With strong exchange support, and an ever-growing list of nodes and miners maintaining the Blockchain, LTC could live alongside BTC for generations. Maybe LTC will reach $1k in the future? Just my thoughts ;D

I have observed it and also know about the LTC halving many months ago, almost all the bullish hype surrounding it on this issue is not too surprising to see recently the interest is growing. increased because of the upcoming event. Although the main market landscape is still subject to bitcoin's grip, I personally see LTC as always a top altcoin and worth accumulating in good price zones, before that I also intended to buy in $60 price but thinking back I still choose bitcoin, but obviously hype has made it rise quite well recently. In general, most of the recent period, things have gradually become more positive for this market, not only LTC but I also see many altcoins moving up again.

Momentum for LTC is basically the fact that it has been around for over a decade and it is still a good investment. This idea alone just by itself shows the reality that LTC has been a solid investment for people and if you still have doubts about it then it is your problem and has nothing to do with LTC. Any person that invested in the last 10 years into LTC would have a profit aside from the ones that invested on the last bull run, and even they will have a profit when the next bull run starts.

You can't say that about a lot of coins, because first of all not a lot of them have been around for 10 years, that already gets rid of %99 of the market, and the other ones are either great ones like bitcoin, or the ones that are already gone. LTC is elite among all coins.

It's all thanks to Bitcoin still and that's the main factor why LTC has got a good increase before its halving. And it will be more once bitcoin halving is done and that's the sign that we're about to get into the bullrun.

That's also my thought about LTC. It will get some significant increase benefiting from Bitcoin's dominance and share to the market but what's done on it won't happen again. Like the time when it has reached it peak and that's unlikely to be seen again.

It's not too early to conclude that Litecoin outperforms Bitcoin. Regardless, my view is that Bitcoin remains the leading cryptocurrency, Litecoin's recent resurgence demonstrates its growth potential and relevance in the marketplace and Litecoin's strong community engagement and dedicated development team continue to drive innovation and improvement.. ;)

Of course. What I've meant is the market price. Not the Blockchain itself. While other coins often experience new ATHs, Litecoin is usually left "rusting" in a corner. Still, Litecoin is one of the strongest blockchains in the world. It's been tried-and-tested over the years.

With how solid the LTC network is, the cryptocurrency should've been worth at least $1k by now. It's very undervalued in my opinion. There's a lot of excitement surrounding the upcoming halving event in August 2023, so maybe there's hope LTC will reach a new ATH soon? No matter how things turn out to be in the long run, LTC will never die because of the solid foundation built upon it. I'm confident it will survive alongside BTC for generations. ;)

ep, the bitcoin halving event I think will bring a lot of positive signals in the market, it is very likely that the uptrend will follow soon, and we will also see the growth of the whole market. As for the present, good or bad news appearing only partly increases the drama or uniformity of a certain coin, even with LTC I think it is no exception, looking at how the price increases It's not too much of an impression but what a lot of people say anyway is that this is not uncommon in this market, as I said earlier LTC is really the big and top altcoin that is always in a good position in the market but without exception its dependence is always tied to the volatility of BTC.

Litecoin isn’t dead and Litecoin cannot surpass Bitcoins. This is a fact and we should accept it. People came up with idea of altcoins only after the invention and usage of Bitcoins. So how can we expect any coin to surpass it. Regarding the survival and fightback of litecoins, then yes these are one of the oldest crypto in market, so definitely they have enough popularity among the masses and traders. Now just one good announcement in favour of the coins can really boost up the price.

There is no doubt that the altcoin prices in the entire crypto currency market are stagnant at the moment. Altcoin prices are not going up even as the price of Bitcoin is increasing.In this situation, the price of Litecoin is going to a good position, because there is very little time left in Light coin halving.I think the Litecoin is not going up in price as expected.It has come down from $115  to $95 again.I don't think it will cross $150 now,and it can never overtake Bitcoin because it doesn't seem to have the soul inside of Bitcoin.

I highly think LTC will still be here as a founding project for the crypto community but The way I see it basically its a dormant project and nothing new is going on But who knows Devs can pickup the project have some lightning payment network and am sure it will keep going

It was not too early but never had the chance. Because even the price of Litecoin will pump but this is not the reason to say that it was better than Bitcoin. Bitcoin is unique and different from others while Litecoin is just an altcoin, there is a big difference between them. We can say that it will possibly outperform if both of them are playing the same role but they're not. So, we can't compare Litecoin to Bitcoin and besides, there is no valid reason why we should have to do it.

Litecoin will not be able to outperform Bitcoin, but Litecoin is also not dead, so it depends on the price of Bitcoin, because if the price of Bitcoin increases very high, then I'm sure the price of Litecoin will definitely increase very high too, moreover soon there will be a Litecoin halving, so if the market has starting to recover and the price of Bitcoin has started to increase slowly, then I'm sure the price of Litecoin will definitely increase very high compared to the increase in prices of any altcoin, but still Litecoin will never be able to outperform Bitcoin at any time, because Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency.

This was i see, The LTC halving on August 5, judging from the experience of the two previous halvings, shows a downward trend in the value of LTC after the halving. I don't think that now is the right time to assume that LTC will overtake BTC although Litecoin technology development, wider adoption, and the development of the crypto ecosystem as a whole could have a positive impact on the value of LTC going forward.

We all have seen the effect of the halving ahead, and it proved to be bullish for Litecoin,
even a few days ago Litecoin managed to break through $100 and reached $114, and now the price of Litecoin is correcting,
of course this is a good time to add Litecoin and hold on until The predicted bullish season will arrive in 2024-2025 after the Bitcoin halving.

Indeed bitcoin and Ethereum are the two most popular coins to date. Bitcoin is called the king of cryptocurrencies as well as Ethereum which is called the king of altcoins. Even so, Litecoin is still worthy of investment, even though the growth is not as big as Ethereum, Litecoin's price movements are relatively stable in the crypto market.

Litecoin still profitable for investing with short or long term, many time Litecoin can up to higher price drastically although drop again to lower price, but consistency from Litecoin will back to higher price is worth for investing in Litecoin. Few days later have good event for Litecoin halving and if any one want to earn profit its profitable for start investing today and earn profit later when Litecoin near with halving. Although Litecoin not popular like Ethereum or BNB but is not bad ideas investing in Litecoin because we can earn profit as short or long term investment than other coins need long waiting moment raise to higher price.

The halving seems to be attracting investors into LTC. This is good for the long-term holders of the coin, as prices increase over a short period of time. I don't think it would be wise to buy some LTC before the halving. You should wait some time after the event to see what happens.

For a cryptocurrency that was long forgotten by the masses, this is a very good sign. No matter how much LTC is valued in the future, I think it will stand the test of time thanks to the community supporting it every step of the way. It's a tried-and-tested Blockchain as good as Bitcoin itself. With a limited supply of 84 million units and fast block times, LTC could retain its position as "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold" for years to come. Who knows if it outlives most altcoins in the long run? Just my opinion :)

Litecoin will never overtake Bitcoin... it's impossible in my opinion. And Litecoin is not "dead", Litecoin is always around... Of course, did someone made a profit or not will depend on the timing, but Litecoin is a very profitable coin from my point of view, and I was here when LTC was under a dollar.

Now I don't think that Litecoin can make some miracles in the future, but somehow I am sure we will see Litecoin at some higher price...

I think Litecoin can see an upturn in price, dunno about BTC but it will outperform a lot of coins. Looking at how it performed the previous years when halving was conducted, you'd assume that history will repeat itself. Litecoin isn't dead, some exchanges are even anticipating the halving, Bitget for example has launched a massive LTC prize pool to encourage Litecoin traders, this coin is far from finished.

It's just a matter of time before litecoin bounce back to regular bull movements, things are advancing in the market. Litecoin have been in existence for a long time in crypto, ofcourse its been through thr process of big pumps and heavy dumps in the market, the projects investors have given up on the projects, but some still hold litecoin in their portfolio hoping that one day, it will make pump run up to the moon. However I don't believe such, an abandoned project retest back to creating long bull candles, it's definitely have slim chances, and there's existence of new projects almost every week and months, the concentration of investors are divided.

Litecoin has been in the market for many years but they have not developed accordingly because their position is now 12 and the market cap of LTC is less than XRP, ADA SOL, DOGE, which cannot be called developed according to the time they came to the market. and the price of LTC is not seen to rise much so the investment demand for it is not too much. so I am not very enthusiastic about LTC price increase.

That confirms my believes that the crypto crowd ist really after FIAT.  :(
The network activity is the value which shows if a Coin is alive.

That Market cap crap number is just that: Crap as we have seen with Pepe

The price of Litecoin is very low but it is expected that the price of Litecoin will be at a good level in a few years.I don't know if it will be a profit or a loss if invest in Litecoin. But I hope that the price of Litecoin will increase after a few years. Litecoin is very expensive.Couldn't become more popular. But Litecoin may become popular at some point.

Litecoin may be in a better position in the future but it would be foolish to compare it to Bitcoin. I think replacing Litecoin with Bitcoin will just be a waste of time. But Litecoin had a bad market crash a few days ago but now it has recovered. Because of which the value of Litecoin has increased tremendously and it is good to see that it will take a better position in the future. Litecoin is not dead but it is said to be halved and when it is halved it will return to a better position than again. However, it is not possible to think that Litecoin will take the position of Bitcoin from its position in the future, because it will never be possible.

Well Litecoin halving is now only less then 10 days to go. And transactions are staying high so investors are really looking forward to it. 
And there is chance the LTC halving will start the alt coin season 'bull rush'. That we are all waiting for to happen.
https://u.today/litecoin-ltc-eyes-new-high-amid-halving-fueled-buy-up

Bruh. High transaction volume doesn't mean that price will go up. I like LTC because of low fees, and fast and secure transactions. I think most people use it because of this, not because they're buying and holding it.

LTC price has been moving between $80 - $100 for the past weeks, with the coming halving in 10 days, I don't think there will be much to be expected because usually, when a blockchain is expected to undergo halving, two weeks before that day is usually dump from traders as they want to have their profits before that day, the wise ones don't want to be trapped in the circle of whales games, so I don't think there is much to be expected from to that day.

Increase in Volume means lot of traders are buying and selling and it could also mean that more people are dumping where less people are buying and its always a signal that people are selling for profits and that is why despite the volume increase you said, there is no too difference in the price, it is even dumping instead of the price to appreciate, so your volume signal for price increment is not correct.

In addition, over the years, altcoin halvings don't generate much attention like Bitcoin where you will see lot of request in google search engine, demand for Bitcoin usually exceed all time during Bitcoin halving and after that period, bullrun use to commence.

People are only getting into the hype because of the block reward halving. But they will never consider LTC as a long term investment, especially when the cryptocurrency is behind the competition in terms of development and innovation. It's not about supply, but rather the usefulness of any given cryptocurrency. LTC may have cheaper fees and faster settlement times, but there are other coins that fare better in this regard. Without smart contract capabilities, I don't see LTC getting any traction soon.

At least, we know LTC won't go away. That's because it's a tried-and-tested blockchain with decentralization as its main focus. Who knows if it outlives many of the altcoins we know and love today? Just my thoughts ;D

Litecoin is best coin there has no confusion. It’s position well  on cryptocurrency market. Now its price is near anout $90. I think  it will go more up in future. I think future bull market Litecoin price will hit $1k. I strongly believe Litecoin will established and it will come more top position in cryptocurrency market. And it’s usability will increase day by day. Never will dead Litecoin. Because it already created his usabilitie. Today or tomorrow litecoin will go nearest of bitcoin.

A few years ago, Litecoin had its heyday and had a fairly expensive price because it had a fairly high demand, whereas now it has a low price. My hope is that Litecoin has a good project for the community and is very useful, so that high demand returns to Litecoin and it is certain that the price will easily go back up to being expensive.

I would like to say that now the price of LTC has not fallen so much compared to other coins. Probably the main thing is not the demand, but the bear market. Now absolutely all coins have lost value, some more, some less. Litecoin is one of the few coins that managed to recover well after the last bottom. Hopefully the price will be above $100 in the near future.

Well Litecoin is up 1% just in the last week. And this is with all top 10 coins are losing profits other then BNB and Solana.

Here you can watch LTC creator Charlie Lee and Bobby Lee talk about LTC halving. It is going to happen in less then 2 days from now.

https://www.nicehash.com/countdown/ltc-halving-2023-08-06-11-00

These are exciting times for Litecoin. The halving is only one day away, so we should expect prices to "pump" soon. Now it'll be up to developers to introduce something new and fresh that will keep LTC pumping for a long time. Otherwise, the hype will fade quickly after the halving. After all, there are many competitors on the market striving to reach the top.

I'm waiting for the day when LTC becomes one of the top 5 cryptocurrencies in market cap. It's way below newcomers into crypto such as BNB, ADA, and SOL. If LTC does make a comeback, don't expect it to be worth below the "triple digits" ever again. Maybe $1k per LTC will be possible someday? Just my thoughts ;D

Agree. Litecoin's price in particular seems not really to react much to halvings. In the prior halvings, 2015 and 2019, the market around halvings - if we consider LTC/BTC -  was even bearish, with major pumps having occurred at times totally unrelated to the halving date (halvings marked in red):

This is not the case this time, when LTC is more or less in a sideways market, slightly bullish with respect to 2022. The brief $115 peak could be related to halving speculation, but this is not totally clear to me, it could also having been caused by euphoria because a jump in the general altcoin market was expected at the time around Bitcoin's 31800 high. As long as Bitcoin stays within its current range (let's say 27000 to 32000), I currently don't expect too much variation in the LTC price.

About post-halving expectations:

LTC has currently a trading volume of ~500 million-1 billion USD per 24 hs. Miners generate only 660000 USD worth of LTC per day (1 LTC=92 USD, 24 blocks/hour, 12,5 LTC/block). Even if they sell all of them instantly, it's only 0,06% to 0,12% of the total trading volume. So they have next to no power on the selling side. After the halving, miners' importance will go to 0.03 to 0.06 %. I don't think that makes much of a difference. But it shows that LTC supply already isn't getting diluted much by miners. Even less than in the case of BTC, where they have 0,1-0,15% (25 million/day, 20 billion volume). Thus we could say that LTC is currently even more "scarce" than Bitcoin, if we only look at the supply side. ;)

It will perform a lot in the coming according to my thinking. Because Litecoin has the ability of bouncing back to regain its original position that it was before. As, we had seen quite a nice performance from Litecoin in some previous days, as compared to its down position, which it is quite amazing.

Well we live in extraordinary times don't we?
A war, a few chances to start WW3 and a huge debt crisis everywhere.

Well we did not see any profits for Litecoin halving just yet. This can be cause we are seeing Bitcoin and other top coins losing profits right now. But we did see 6% loss in just past 24 hours.

But I am not at all worried as LTC holder. The LTC reward drop is not going to be expected until Sunday. So maybe we will see some profits at this time.

https://decrypt.co/151005/litecoin-third-halving-what-it-means-for-ltc

Why is Bitcoin high-risk compared to Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is always same risk if we are not in leveraged trading.

And it was just question if Litecoin outperfom Bitcoin.

Of course, Sir.
Long term is always less risk, good decision.

I am also very curious to see how Litecoin will develop this season. Litecoin still has a large community and that is a good basis for the future.
What is the situation with the developers? Are there still many working on Litecoin?

LTC won't stay "cheap" for long, especially when it's one of the oldest coins with a limited supply. Each halving event will positively affect LTC's market price in the long term. We just have to wait until Bitcoin turns bullish for LTC to go all the way above $100 per coin. It's possible LTC will be worth $500 within a few years from now. While other coins are overhyped, they're not as useful and reliable as Litecoin is.

I believe developers should add smart contract capabilities to Litecoin. It would expand its capabilities beyond compare. Maybe making a smart contract sidechain or L2 network will suffice? The sky is the limit to how far LTC will go. As long as decentralization is prioritized, nothing else matters. Just my thoughts ;D

Not optimistic with Litecoin will raise up to $500 one day later, almost four year as most loyal holding of Litecoin but still get disappointed with most cheap price based on old coins. Halving time not get efficiency effect for Litecoin get up to higher price, this early month, Litecoin halving but price keep going down drastically after success break out to $111. Current Litecoin price can't expected will back to $100 because around $64 make LTC difficult when getting moment to create with new all time high price. I am waiting with Litecoin will raise back above $200 and looks not profitable yet with long term holding from LTC,

any one have ideas keep holding Litecoin or take it for cut loss and investing in other altcoin?

Litecoin has held its own as one of the established cryptocurrencies since its introduction in 2011. It has often been referred to as the "silver to Bitcoin's gold", pursuing similar goals to Bitcoin but with some differences in technology.

Litecoin's future depends on a number of factors, including adoption, technological advancements, the regulatory environment and general developments in the crypto market.

Cut losses and become a bitcoin maxi.
We are in crypto winter and there is so much fud over Binance. Tendenca in twitter almost every day and as always people know.

I'd suggest you consider other altcoins, especially those among the top ranks in market cap (top 5). Litecoin is struggling to reach a new ATH, probably because there's no "substance" to it. Developers need to come up with something new and fresh that would revive the hype once again. Otherwise, market prices will remain stagnant for a very long time. If they don't increase with every halving, miners could be mining at a loss. This could force LTC miners to switch to other chains, leaving it vulnerable against external attacks.

Unless BTC turns bullish for an extended period of time, don't expect LTC to get past the $100 range anytime soon. Don't get me wrong, though. LTC is a good coin with a solid foundation built upon it. Market prices aside, it's one of the most trusted and reliable blockchains after Bitcoin. I've seen new features being tested on LTC before they're added to the Bitcoin blockchain. Who knows? Maybe someday LTC will get the attention it deserves? Just my thoughts ;D

Every coin based on hype is tending around 0, hype is bad medecin for any coin.
Litecoin is a decentralized coin with a good track record. Excelente if you see network activity. Possible because it settles faster and it's used to pay for stuff. 
Additionally we are now in a pretty severe insecure phase of the world's economy. For those who haven't noticed. 

if we look chartishly from the previous movement, LTC had penetrated the $108 range, and that means it had broken out at the previous resistance, it's just that because of the bitcoin situation that is currently experiencing a small crash, LTC was also affected, therefore I think that LTC will later will go up again, assuming that it has given a signal for an increase and of course a deep correction can be used as an opportunity to buy and invest, I don't think it will take us 5 years to make a profit

Litecoin can't reach an ATH on its own because it's lacking behind other projects in terms of development and innovation. It's highly-dependent on BTC to survive. Without a "bullish" Bitcoin, don't expect LTC to get past $100 anytime soon. It's likely LTC miners will be mining at a loss if market prices remain stagnant. After all, the block reward was cut in half without any positive reaction to the market price.

At least, the Blockchain is alive and running as usual. What matters is usability instead of the price. As long as LTC is useful, nothing else matters. I'm confident LTC will last a lifetime thanks to its commitment towards decentralization and censorship-resistance. Maybe someday LTC will go all the way to $1k? Just my opinion :)

exaggeration , Litecoin outperforming bitcoin is close to Impossible , because how can a semi shitcoin can outperform a greatest coin?

and also calling litecoin is dead? what a shameful comparison when you are asking about breaking bitcoin with a coin you called dying or dead

Strange that hashrate LTC has been constantly increasing even after halving, but the price has almost halved. So the miners are probably already at a loss or so. I agree that LTC will not be able to grow separately from the rest of the market, especially since the price after the main event of this coin fell almost twice. LTC as well as other coins need a bull run.

thats true, no innovation nothing with litecoin, the blockchain isn't even smart contract blockchain i just thing that it has quite low utility even at the level of that shitcoins, but
it seems even today the market capitalization of lite coin still holding up pretty well. still doesn't make me interested in investing in it and so does majority of people I guess.
this coin has already reached its peak potential I don't think there's anything left in this coin, not even good for investment since at best it will be quite small increase in the future even
in bullrun, though everyone is free to make their own decision but always remember that a coin that didn't innovates and also stagnating for long aren't really great for investment.

Litecoin is not dead. It's alive and healthy as usual. But I wouldn't call it a "shitcoin", especially when it delivers as promised at a slow and steady pace. It's just that investors aren't that interested into Litecoin these days. All of the attention is on coins with smart contract capabilities, especially those that are attached to "De-Fi" and NFTs. The only exception to this is Bitcoin, because it was the first crypto that started this craze.

I wouldn't expect LTC to make a comeback right now, unless BTC turns bullish again. Just keep calm, buy some cheap LTC, and wait until the market goes back up again. Who knows if LTC goes to $1k someday? Just my opinion :)

Litecoin is doing well.  Death of litecoin is exagerated.   Litecoin is silver to bitcoin's gold.  This is powerful user case.  

After bitcoin and ethereum,  litecoin is very likely to be 3rd possible choice to be adopted by U.S. institution investors with spot ETF in USA.

Litecoin getting adopted by institutional investors would be "the bomb". It will increase market prices at a very fast pace. That's if institutions decide to make the move. Maybe BlackRock and Fidelity will launch Litecoin ETFs in the future? If these entities have a successful ETF launch for Bitcoin, I don't see why not. Grayscale recently won the case against the SEC to list its very own Bitcoin ETF. This is a very good sign for crypto in the US. With a friendly-regulatory environment, LTC won't be cheap ever again.

I think this is the golden opportunity to buy coins at a huge discount. I'm very confident LTC will rise to $500 within a few years from now. That said, the sky is the limit to how far Litecoin will go. As long as it stays decentralized, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts ;D

last time litecoin pump was listing same as bch in some quite special market. ltc always test bench for implement tech from btc development
this coin got love from china for money laundry as early day quite favorable till this day, the coin itself quite stable and less activity from outer world

I hope not
Better brazil takes LTC as a legal tender. That would be perfect.
ETFs are not a gateway to heaven, they easily turn sour.

It will be always in the hands of Bitcoin, especially on ETF things, we already hoping for other altcoins while Bitcoin still has no ETF approved.
About a country like Brazil does LTC as legal tender without Bitcoin? I don't think so, Bitcoin is always a good and best cryptocurrency to be a legal tender right now.

What are you talking about guys? Step by step, dont rush over the things.

First we need to see BTC breaking into the ETF and other related things, and just after that we can start to expect and see for other coins.

Brazil adopting LTC as a legal tender???? Why? Because you want that?.

I support LTC in someways but please be carefull with your claims guys.

Not important with Litecoin standings in the top ten coin market cap after seeing their price keep going down every day, almost three years when success making new all time high and litecoin price right now have going dump. I don't find any country have been adopted Litecoin as legal payment currency transaction and ever happening with fake news when Litecoin accepted in some company as payment currency but that news is not true and ever Litecoin up almost 40%.

Today we face reality with Litecoin not expected for investing how consistency in lower price, not only difficult to raise all time high price but also seems not easily for Litecoin back above $100 after last months almost reached up to $120. What your decision with Litecoin if have invested there, keep loyal hold it or cut loss and investing in another altcoin.

Litecoin is used to receive Payments, that way the price is secondary.
I don't believe that crypto will take over the $, Crypto without FIAT is not working. All that hype of reserve currecny is for followers.

Yes Brazil would be nice but that was just an idea not based on facts.   

It was the silver thing in the crypto market if bitcoin is considered the gold. It's still a good payment channel though if you're looking for some alternative as I'm still using it.

While I do believe that crypto is the future, it's possible that crypto will still work without fiat. Just check those countries like Turkey that they're dumping their own fiat currency for someone's other currency, I mean other country's currency which is the dollar. The point is that, even if the base is crypto to fiat. It can be a stand alone crypto basis if a nation or a certain community accepts it like that.

Bitcoin first, then Litecoin and the others. For what I know, this is a slow and steady phase that could take years before we see promising results. I'd suggest you wait as the best is yet to come. With subsequent block reward halvings, LTC should be able to reach far beyond $1k in the future.

Unlike many overhyped altcoins, LTC has been proven to "deliver the goods" without sacrificing decentralization/censorship-resistance. It's a tried-and-tested Blockchain network that serves as experimental grounds for the main Bitcoin blockchain. Usually, new features are tested on LTC before they're integrated into BTC. Whereas BTC is often slow and expensive to use on a daily basis, LTC is all of the contrary (fast and cheap payments).

I'm confident LTC will make a comeback, staying true to its name of being "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold". Who knows how far will the cryptocurrency go? Just my thoughts ;D

Yes many people like ot simple also those who work digital.
Unfortunaltely in most countries the gros of people are not as digital safy and prefer cash.
The country I live in has a cash dependency of over 50%. It looks as if unknown to the government. 
I wish for more posiblity to pay in LTC that will take a few years at best.

I don't see that as an use case when it's literally same usecase as with bitcoin. Best thing about litecoin is the fact that it's so much similiar to bitcoin that you can use it as a platform to experiment on something that could be applied to bitcoin.

But 3rd possible choice for institutional investors? Why? Because it's old? I really think that would only happens if those institutional investors are gullible enough. Road for Litecoin is a dead end imho.

I would pretty much agree with you that Lite Coin has a lot of similarities with Bitcoin. Its blog chain ecosystem works much like Bitcoin. But that doesn't mean it can't be called Bitcoin, I agree with it. But I think lite coin is reliable among alternative coins. Maybe for bearish market, lite coin's situation is bad sometimes. But for long term investment I wouldn't call it bad. I am optimistic that it can take a good turnover in the next bull run

though the good days of Litecoin had already gone , or much better called the golden days, I remember when this stays as ranking 3rd to bitcoin and stays there for a while.
and also this is almost a copycat of Bitcoin that's why its purpose is somewhat questionable .
but lets hope that there is still better future specially for its investors and supporters.

You can say the same thing about almost all altcoins, at least about all blockchain platforms. All those "Ethereum killers" for example, what do they offer what Ethereum doesn't offer? (If it's lower fees, then ... well, we've a similarity to LTC ;) ) They're almost all pure PoS coins based on traditional BFT mechanisms so they are also similar on consensus level.

There are relatively few coins which really have a dedicated use case, and they're often tokens (e.g. Maker as a base token for Dai, rollup coins, utility tokens).

What coins need to achieve is a network effect, i.e. users, merchants and exchanges. And Litecoin has succeeded here in some way: since 2021 it has over 100.000 transactions per day. In its "heyday", when it was at #2 or #3 in the cryptocurrency rankings, it had only around 5.000-10.000 (see here (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/litecoin-transactions.html#alltime)).

The reason why I'm following LTC is however that it's one of the biggest non-premined coins. While Charlie Lee mined a lot, it's now quite decentralized.

Agree here, even if it's maybe not "the best thing", but MWEB shows what can be done.

IMO, most of the countries are still relying to cash. Take a look at Japan, it's known to be one of the most advance in terms of technology but try to look at the stores there, many of them still prefer cash.

It just needs more adoption and more companies to accept it. But if it's with alternative choices, it's one of the choices of many merchants because it's got a lot of users and it's been there for a very long time next to bitcoin.

Adaptation is there, many wallets use Litecoin,
Marketing is not there and that is the point. The Litecoin Foundation should rethink their approach of Grassroot Technics. 

It's not about the wallet but about the people that use Litecoin as payment. That's what you want to happen for many folks to adopt and use LTC as payment. As I've said it's one of the choices of many merchants but it's not that enough through their numbers.

There's no need for marketing because who's going to finance it? The foundation or its people? Either of the two, it's not that really needed at all because Litecoin is already popular. But if that's really needed and there are folks willing to finance it, that is up to them.

Beg your pardon, no need because no  one wants to pay for it?
Where is the logic in that? Charlie and the foundation have money, it's called an investment for something.
A certain Investment is needed to fund marketing. It can even be done in Litecoin, we gladly do their marketing and it can be financed over Litecoin.
But there is no answer on any channel. No one, as if no one cares. Others who have answered (on litecointalk) love the undercover situation which in the long run will fail. 

Indeed. Litecoin is one of the most decentralized cryptocurrencies you can find on the market. The problem is that investors are not that interested in decentralization these days. As long as a coin makes them money, nothing else matters. If there's one thing that's holding Litecoin back, that is innovation. There are other cryptocurrencies with better features than LTC itself. Such coins usually have smart contracts functionality and a different consensus mechanism aimed to improve scalability.

These days it's all about the metaverse, AI, NFTs, and "meme" coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. Unless Litecoin brings something "new and exciting" to the masses, don't expect market prices to go anywhere soon. Our only hope is for BTC to get bullish again for major altcoins (including LTC) to go all the way to the moon. Maybe someday LTC will be worth $1k? Just my opinion :)

That is only one facet of 100 if not millions of different approaches in Investment.
Do you really believe that Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Angel Investors etc.  are only investing in Meme und NFT? NFT for mass stupidity is running out of steam I hope.

Hopefully the Litecoin foundation gets into ebay, With being an ebay payment coin growth would be almost automatic. I am not privy about what the foundation is up to. 

I wonder how Litecoin is making a profit for investors now? After halving the price has almost halved. You are right, decentralisation has not interested anyone for a long time. Now everyone thinks about profit and it doesn't matter which coin will bring profit. Unfortunately Litecoin is just an old coin, of which there were many. Probably in time it will be forgotten like other old projects.

In general I agree more with WillyAp than with Abiky here. Late-2010s and early-2020s trends like NFTs, DeFi, Metaverse etc. are already fading out a bit even if there are still many bagholders trying to hype them ;D.

Litecoin has to build on its success as a payment coin, and reach out to more popular platforms. Perhaps also an OpenBazaar fork with LTC as main coin could be an interesting idea.

I think also the low-fee aspect could be exploited more. I don't understand why there are so few P2P exchanges offering direct onramping from fiat to coins which are not Bitcoin, because the fees (for example on Bisq) are a significant hurdle to "simply try out" a trade. A "LocalLitecoin" (in the vein of LocalBitcoins/LocalMonero) or adding LTC direct buys to P2P DEXes could be a quite good idea. It would give people a decentralized option to on- and offramp the cryptocurrency space using a coin with very low fees and without KYC, which enables for example to simply try out cryptos with a very low investment (10$ or even less).

Of course Lightning exchanges are also an option for that (Robosats ...) and LocalMonero is also quite good. But LN in its current state is not quite the best option for cryptocurrency newbies, and Monero is also significantly more difficult to use than LTC or BTC, so I guess a Litecoin-based "onramping site" has enormous potential.

+1

A little marketing is all whats needed.
The issues is that litecoin users like to be the underdog.

After halving last month, Litecoin price drastically down until to $60 from highest price before halving time around $114, you right with Litecoin is not promising for all investor because have been waiting for several months later keep stuck in lower price and difficult to see consistency and Litecoin progress will up to higher price again. Usually with other coin when closing with halving time have good progress and price up drastically before get little correction after halving, but Litecoin have difference case after halving price drop almost 50% and drastically going down without need several months later back to $60. Its not balance when Litecoin up to $114 need longer time and waiting almost four months and without one months Litecoin price back to $60.

According to BeInCrypto, whales were currently accumulating Litecoin (https://cryptonews.net/news/analytics/24659720/) (among some other coins) in the last days, benefitting from low prices.

I'd be careful about such news though, because we don't know which kind of whales are doing that. And before the halving there were some similar news ... and the price dipped deep.

However, everything looks like there was a stabilization in the LTC/BTC price in the recent days. In the very short term there's a downward movement, but it's all in the +-3% range (0.0024-0.0025) and thus still very far away from the stabilization line (0.0023x) and even more from the 0.00216 low reached in August.

I'd certainly love to see LTC's use cases expand in the future. But without mainstream popularity, I don't see this happening anytime soon. One thing is certain and that is people don't care about decentralization these days. All they want is to make a lot of money in the shortest time possible. That's why we've seen centralized "shitcoins" eating Litecoin's "cake" these days. They're among the top ranks in market cap after Bitcoin. It's unfortunate to see how human greed has moved crypto away from its original purpose.

As I've said before, all of the attention is on smart contract platforms with NFT capabilities, as well as, "meme" coins/tokens, AI-based tokens, and the metaverse. LTC is a simple cryptocurrency only meant to be used for sending/receiving money. It's just like Bitcoin. Only that the latter has all of the attention because it was the first cryptocurrency that started this craze. At least, Litecoin has trading pairs on almost any crypto exchange you could imagine. As long as the Blockchain stays alive and running, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts ;D

Have a social network account? Share or retweet any positive litecoin news.

I wonder how people can believe that a halving raises prices. Litecoin is not bitcoin.
And a crisis we are going thru today has not happened im the life of bitcoin. 

Define mainstream popularity :) As I wrote several times, LTC is among the cryptocurrencies with most real usage for payments. But yeah, it may not happen that much in crypto influencers' channels, "crypto media" and so on. Reason is crystal clear: these channels work with native advertising (we could call it "bribery"), and only devs of premined coins and tokens have the capacity to bribe influencers.

Yes, most people need still this carrot to invest in a coin. They need a reason to believe in something for the price to go up, even if it's something like a halving, that's why probably the price spiked before the halving.

But I don't see NFTs really being still crucial and as already has been written, LTC does offer NFTs and memecoins via Ordinals. I don't know if it has a better token platform than LTC-20 (which is shit, just like BRC-20) but AI tokens and metaverse tokens could also be created in theory on the LTC platform, even RGB or Taro are possible as LTC has Taproot.

If "the thing to believe in" however in the case of LTC is an even wider usage as a payment coin, then this can also be a reason to invest.

This didn't happen recently but was more a consequence of the Ethereum rise in 2015-16 and the 2017/18's ICO craze. LTC in these years fell below position 20. Now even after the harsh post-halving dip it's at #15, and if we ignore stablecoins and wrapped coins it's on position #12. Not bad, even if in the pre-halving craze it was in the top-10 for some time.

By the way, for direct onramping I found the following site: https://www.litecoinlocal.net/ . Unfortunately it seems completely outdated, there are offers for 4 USD/LTC (should I try? ;D). Those operating the site should really try to update it, it doesn't look trustworthy at all.

4 month it stood above 4$ a coin ;)

By "mainstream popularity", I mean LTC becoming a big hit worldwide. Sort of like it's the case with Bitcoin and Ethereum these days. I'm surprised that hasn't been the case with LTC, especially when it has a deflationary model like Bitcoin. If worthless "meme" coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu got the attention of the masses, why can't Litecoin do the same?

Because of LTC's unpopularity, market prices have remained stagnant for quite a long time. It's even worse now, as LTC is suffering dearly because of the bear market. The halving didn't have any positive effect over the price. I'd just wait until BTC turns bullish again to see what happens. Who knows how long will it take for LTC to go all the way towards $1k?  :)



That looks exactly like the "LocalBitcoins" site. The only problem is that it's outdated. A pity, because a P2P exchange would've increased mainstream adoption for LTC by a long shot. At least, we still have the ability to trade LTC via the use of atomic swaps.

In a hostile regulatory environment, we need as much decentralized alternatives as possible to keep LTC afloat. DEXs and atomic swaps would be the only way to get in and out of LTC in a decentralized manner. I would've hoped that AgoraDesk added LTC to its platform. Maybe it will happen someday?   ::)

I think there is currently a big gap between Bitcoin & Ethereum and "the whole rest of altcoins" (maybe BNB, XRP and maybe Toncoin and of course stablecoins have a special position still, due to their "enterprise" character and their link to popular services). But I see LTC firmly in the second tier, together with the toothless "Ethereum killers" and of course Monero. Doge still profits from its association with Elon Musk but the market cap difference between Doge and LTC is already fading away. Doge is a coin I have sympathy for but I quite have a sensation that their heyday could be over, and then LTC as the more solid alterntive could again lead in the space of the "decentralized" coins.

Which was totally expectable, because LTC never has reacted in any way to a halving (save some speculative action before the halving). I've already written about that in the thread. About longer-term effects, the halving could have a minimal effect on scarcity (i.e. the supply/demand equation), but LTC's outstanding supply is already quite small, a lot has been mined already, very similar to Bitcoin four years ago. The good thing about that is that massive miner dumps are becoming less likely.

That would of course be really cool. I don't know if this ever has been proposed to them. They're closer to the Monero community though, so I don't know how realistic it is.

I've asked in the Litecointalk forum if anybody knows about the state of LitecoinLocal.net. A mod from the forum answered but they didn't even know about its existence. The interesting thing is that even if the site looks completely dead with its outdated offers, there seems to be some money in their hot wallets still (https://litecoinlocal.net/audit) (~40 LTC). Not much but maybe they're still operating.

With the unique features that Litecoin brings and having an active development community on one hand, Litecoin looks like a strong contender in the ever-evolving crypto landscape. op. In my opinion, everything needs a process to become mature and big. but, currently BTC is still at the top and even if it can, it will take quite a long time in my opinion and what you are asking is not wrong and it is natural that you want to know.

No coin can outperform BTC.. How can a token on no 17 according to coinmarkecap can outperform BTC. If a coin had to perform this, it would be Ethereum and results is our front that Eth is also very far to reach this stage which indicates that no altcoins has still ability to out perform BTC..

At that time btc fee is high which will temporary down the daily btc transaction but it is not sign of leaving btc and look for other coin.

Litecoin has own feature and usecase. we should not compare with BTC.. If we comparing local bank with Central bank so we are devaluing local coin and same with BTC.

That is not true that no coin can outperform BTC. Actually in an altseason, all the projects start outperforming BTC which is why we saw a massive pump in an altcoin project in a altseason. This can be seen through the altcoin and bitcoin pair. This is amazing but this doesn't last long and after few weeks and month all these project start dumping and btc start outperforming again.

Litecoin was created to be a better version of bitcoin. It has similarities but in terms of performance bitcoin can not be compared with litecoin. I think litcoin, BCH all these hybrid version of bitcoin lost their cause of existence and there isn't much demand of them in the market any more. There are several other blockchain that has real usecase and got massive community and investors.

I don't understand what you mean by all altcoins having problems, what does that mean?  what do you think is problematic?  Litecoin is still good and still worth investing in.  But I think it's still a long way to beat Bitcoin, mate.

You're right, litecoin is worth investigating right now that it's still on the dip, if you can check the statistics of the previous performances of litecoin, you will discover it has reached it all time high of about $450 and we are now by far away from such, any Investment made on litecoin will come in with another lifetime opportunity after the bullrun is experienced, though we should know that there's no any other cryptocurrency that can be able to beat bitcoin, because bitcoin lays the legacy other alts follows.

Litecoin is a good coin, but I think its hype happened a long time ago. It had a halving recently, after which the price dropped again. Yes, maybe when the bulls come back, ltc will rise again, but I don't see much potential in this coin.

Spoken like a trader, you won't be missed, traders destroy all they touch.
Litecoin is better than bitcoin in terms of Whitepaper fullfillment, it settles faster, has an impressive infrastructure, more so for US based people.
 

Of course. No one said LTC would ourperform BTC in the long run. The "King" simply can't be beat. Without Bitcoin, Litecoin nor any of the other cryptocurrencies we know and love today would exist. Despite the declining popularity of LTC, I think it's a great alternative for those looking to save on fees and reduce wait times. Litecoin is much more decentralized than Ethereum and its competitors. It's very undervalued, especially when it has a supply of 84m units. With subsequent halving events, LTC should've been in the "four figures" by now.

At least, it's doing the job it's supposed to. As long as it stays decentralized, there should be nothing to worry about. Hopefully, it will rise among the top 5 ranks in market cap soon. Who knows if LTC lives alongside BTC for generations? :D

In technical analysis, Litecoin has penetrated the resistance line in the past and that indicates bullishness on Litecoin, but at that time there was no support from Bitcoin's rise. and currently it seems to have moved up along with the increase in bitcoin. We can see later in the bullish season of course how Litecoin can climb, but to replace Bitcoin I think is very difficult to happen

I don't think bitcoin can be beaten, because if altcoins rise then bitcoin will rise first, and when it goes sideways that's where altcoins will start to follow bitcoin.
Bitcoin will always rise first if there is no good news that supports the altcoin's rise.

with the return of litecoin this is very encouraging news for all crypto users, especially for those who still hold litecoin, because the price of litecoin has now started to rise, for those of you who want to invest in litecoin I think now is the time, to buy it because the price has not rise too high.

Litecoin has never been gone but with what you're saying as a return of it. I think that it's all about the peak that it matters to anyone who holds it. It has never change and it's still one of the best to be used for transfers.

Not discouraging everyone but it's good that when a crypto hasn't moved a lot for the past years, yes there's a possibility that it's going to be up soon but we don't know when and if it's going to be the same peak as it is going to be.

Litecoin did not even go away to say that it is back. You are speaking from a trader's point of view, so that all you care about is the price movement, and you consider that the currency is gone when its price falls and that it is back when the price rises again.

In general, I do not advise you to trust too much in the price movement while making investment options, and not to trust too much in currencies according to the price movement, because the most reliable currencies for investment are the currencies whose price is more stable in the long term, and this is the most important source of their reliability.

At the same time, I congratulate you on choosing Litecoin because it is one of the most solid projects that has proven its efficiency over time. Due to the recent updates to the Litecoin network (MimbleWimble protocol merging), it has become one of the safest currencies for use and investment as well, and it was expected that the price would rise since the announcement of the launch of the MW update.

Well by not being the mother of all (Bitcoin) it's a tough call to believe that a coin will rise in recession.  ;)

Indeed. Litecoin is still standing strong despite other coins taking the spotlight. Price-wise, it's not performing well. But the core blockchain network remains useful for day-to-day payments. Compared to BTC and ETH, Litecoin is faster and cheaper to use. I like the fact that market prices are relatively stable. This allows us to use it more as digital cash than a store of value. To those unaware, LTC has privacy features (Mimblewimble) for true financial freedom.

The reason why Litecoin isn't "pumping", it's because of the lack of marketing/promotion from the team. They've focused more on the long-term stability and usefulness of the project than anything else. Nearly every crypto exchange has an LTC trading pair, so I wouldn't expect this cryptocurrency to disappear just like that. It will probably last for generations. As long as it stays decentralized, there should be nothing to worry about. ;)

If we talk about other cryptocurrencies that can be termed better than bitcoin, it can be eth, xmr, even zec which have minimal fees. Bitcoin has no anonymity or privacy either. Bitcoin's transaction speed and block size is also worse than other coins. But nevertheless bitcoin is still the king among all cryptocurrencies.

But Litecoin is also having Minimal fee> and much lower fees comparing to those mentioned currencies so yes we can use Litecoin more than other coins.
the only thing that is best for bitcoin nowadays is the security being the most popular and trusted coins , but aside from that? in is still altcoin is best to use when transacting nowadays .

Because if just because of the Updates we will trust this coin , then why not happened back in 2018  ;D

You can not seriously compare 2018 to 2023 in Crypto. Or 2010 to 2018 for that matter.
Every situation is quite different. The userbase of crypto has risen, due to 25000 new "opportunities"
Some have turned maxis even.

Indeed. Litecoin does have cheaper fees than the rest of the pack (alternatives that are highly-popular these days). While there are some coins even cheaper than LTC, they're often centralized and unreliable (eg: Solana). Not only that, but Litecoin has a limited supply of 84m coins and built-in privacy features. It's very undervalued to say the least.

Hopefully, people will realize its true benefits over time. The sky is the limit to how far LTC will go. Who knows if buying LTC now will make you filthy rich in the future? :D

Dont look for something that will frustrate you like asking if this can outperform bitcoin because it is even struggle to go back in its original position in rank 3 currency like wayback 2017.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5355701.0

try to visit that topic as it was created in 2021 and the objective is always the same if litecoin will show great increase or performance to the next coming months.

reaching 1k is far from coming in Litecoin , though there may be chance in Halving effect next year of bitcoin.

That's right, every cycle is different and we just can't compare what's in the past and what will be likely to happen for the upcoming year. But we get the pattern and understand that there's a possibility that something might be the same to come. As for LTC, it's entirely different after all of those years when Lee has quit as the main guy of this project. How many years was it already? 6-7 years has passed and LTC has never been the same.

He's still the main guy, just not that much showing his face of the public. There are YT videos were he debates LTC with others.
Latest is this one I think:

 https://youtu.be/ygCiU-ZSs3k?si=tCZI2rZkPQza3xn- (https://youtu.be/ygCiU-ZSs3k?si=tCZI2rZkPQza3xn-)

The marketing of LTC is non existing. And now it comes they do have a marketing department. What they do? I fear no one knows.   
Litecoin being on Paypal is a huge plus though. 

He is? I thought that he has quit his position but yes, even if he has already quit. No doubt that he's still the main guy. And with the news[1] years ago, that's why I felt like it was an abandoned project and the community is the one that sets for running it and that's why it's still there.

[1] ‘Conflict of Interest’: Litecoin Creator Charlie Lee Sells His Entire LTC Balance (https://www.ccn.com/litecoin-creator-charlie-lee-sells-entire-ltc-balance/)

Charlie Lee sold all of his LTC to make the project more decentralized. It would not look good for a cryptocurrency creator to have a large stake on the network (conflict of interest). LTC is now in the hands of the community. Just like Bitcoin. It's one of the few projects that actually supports decentralization and censorship-resistance. While other coins have cheaper fees and faster speeds, they're often centralized and unreliable.

It's not about the hype, but rather the usefulness of a cryptocurrency. The time will come when LTC will gather the attention of mainstream investors and traders alike. It has a limited supply of only 84m units, making it second next to Bitcoin in terms of scarcity (if I'm right). The crypto market often behaves in strange and bizarre ways, so expect the unexpected. ;)

Litecoin is not dead and due to it being ingrained into crypto for so long I don't think it will ever die.  Do I think it will outperform bitcoin, no.  But I do think it will pace with bitcoin so if you have litecoin you won't lose usd value of your stack.  When bitcoin fees are high it's nice going in amd out with litecoin and then transferring to bitcoin in the end.  Easy way to move crypto :)

Yes I think so too Litecoin is not dead and never will be.  Currently Litecoin is not growing with the Bitcoin market but I think it will pump up the market very soon. If the fake Bitcoin ETF is approved in January, there will be a lot of pumping in Bitcoin as well as a lot of pumping in Litecoin. Those who are holding litecoins have nothing to worry, you better hold on the price will go up very soon. I focused myself on buying and holding Litecoin.

Litecoin is not performing better for now and it because of anything than it has already make its all time high in years back and now resting in a bid to gather more momentum for the bull market where it will be served more opportunities to rise again and hit anyone all time high, we should have more hope on litecoin because it's coming back very big, fast and steady this time around, we should be more expectant on what it might turns out to become by then.

Comparing cryptocurrencies is tricky, as each has strengths and weaknesses. Each cryptocurrency operates within its own ecosystem and can offer different benefits. Where Bitcoin cannot be compared to the highest valued alt coin Ethereum, there is no question of comparing Bitcoin to Litecoin. According to my knowledge Litecoin is one of the top coins and it is a good coin. Often we see the growth of altcoins along with the growth of bitcoin currency, as there is a bitcoin halving ahead and there is a possibility of a huge pumping of bitcoins and the top altcoins can rise in price along with it. I think Litecoin can make its own place in the market in the near future.

Litecoin was one of the top coin even though it was a top 10 project in CMC. It is still a good coin to use for payments in various marketplaces as it is still faster than bitcoin and ETH. But there are a lot of new project that are offering better option than litecoin even some stablecoin are being used by some marketplaces where users can use USDT or USDC. Bitcoin competitors like litecoin, Bitcoin cash and others similar to those projects are losing their cause to the Eth L2 project which is highly scalable and business friendly.

There is no stable coin in this world based on facts. The dolar loses so do stablecoins. Swaping Stanbelcoins cost money (fees) so were is that stable. Their algos have been seen bleeding when Luna crashed.

And no I'n not stalking you even though it's the 3rd post I answer and quote you. I hope you can forgive.

Inflation is a stablecoin that is artificially made due to some economic benefits. Don't want to talk about it in detail here but inflation in fiat is not always bad at least for a country's economy You are right that due to inflation we lose value. Still people wants to use stablecoin because stability is needed in a currency to conduct everyday transactions. If the currency value only rise then no one wants to sell it, which will create a liquidity crisis in the economy and if it loses its value quickly, then no one wants to keep that currency in their pocket.

Algo-based stable currencies are vulnerable which has been proven by the UST crash.

yups , have been using litecoin alternate to Bitcoin when there is congestion like now and its
been very helpful for me and also litecoin had been standing for how many years now , it may lose the top rank
 position but still the support stays and the value did not drop that bad comparing to other currencies that had
been former in rankings.
not sure why there is need to RETURN when litecoin never leave ?

L2 projects are usually centralized. What's the point of having low fees and faster settlement times if the network is in the hands of a few players? Besides, L2 requires you to pay an on-chain fee for closing/opening channels. Increasing the block size (on-chain scaling) would be the only way to go. Litecoin may have a 1mb block size, but it can handle far more transactions than Bitcoin because of the reduced block time.

I think it has a place in crypto land, especially when it's one of the few cryptocurrencies out there with decentralization in mind. The constant block reward halvings should make LTC scarcer (and hopefully more valuable) over time (there's a max supply of 84m coins). As long as LTC remains useful, nothing else matters. Just my opinion :)

In life nothing is stable because even the stablecoins aren't stable when the economy got on them changing their instabilities from one form to another, nit to talk of cryptocurrency where the whole thing there were unstable as well, being volatile as meant, this is what we should first considers, what are the factors that affects a currency stability, in case of USDT pegged with USD, not to even start going deep now into litecoin itself in details which is another talk to some other time.

Well, that maneuver he did seems to have a significant impact to Litecoin. While the project is now on the hands of the community, if it's about the progress of it, it's visible that there's not that much happening on it. I think that he should have stayed and did made a lot but then, no matter what happens to Litecoin, it's still no doubt one of the best altcoins to be used for transfers but with investing on it. I'm done with it long time ago.

1 have not used this Litecoin but from what I am seeing in the forum it is one of the good cryptocurrency in the market because people are using it to receive payment too. And the current price is $71.05 and that means the coin is improving in value and price, therefore investing in it is not a waste. But I don't know if the project is decentralized or not and only seen people talking about it at all time . And one of the good thing of the coin, the community support the coin so so the fear of the people is limited to some extent.

Given the market madness, investing in established currencies such as Litecoin becomes safer and less risky.
The platforms, in turn, do not hesitate to list project currencies based on simple conditions, perhaps the most important of which is paying listing fees, which may sometimes amount to monthly fees.
It is noted that most platforms shows that Ltc is considered stable compared to others.

The work team is still ensuring the strength of the network along with a strong community

Litecoin seems to have finally waken up from its long sleep: About 10% increase today with respect to Bitcoin. At $92 at the moment I'm writing this post, the $100 seem now within reach again.

If we look at the whole week, then it began like usually when Bitcoin pumps: a slight increase in LTC/USD (light blue line) but a decline in the LTC/BTC price (orange price). But on February 29, this tendency reverted, and LTC is now growing in a context of a stagnating Bitcoin price. I wrote elsewhere that I expected that to happen when the 65-73$ sideways corridor was left, and it seems that was exactly what happened.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/03/02/yuO92.png

Second time I invested in Lite Coin I didn't get much benefit from here because first my market research was wrong. But after a long time I came back to this topic and I am ready to invest in this lite coin again. Since my benefit was earned I would like to come back and buy it again for $1300 every time this halving takes place.

No cryptocurrency has been created to surpass Bitcoin, but I don't know if there will be in the future. As the popularity of Bitcoin continues to grow, people will eventually trust Bitcoin and people will always go with Bitcoin. I never believe that Litecoin will outperform Bitcoin. Litecoin will still be on the market. Currently Litecoin is worth $91 and Bitcoin is worth $62000. From here we can analyze which coins are the most popular and will remain popular throughout life. I am a Bitcoin investor myself but I am not a Litecoin investor.

Litecoin is still one of the cheapest alts out there with a good user adoption. It certainly doesn't deserve its current price. I think a fair price for litecoin today is no less than $500 ($ 30 billion market cap) but somehow the markets are pricing it way less. This is the OG altcoin, don't get fooled by the noobs. If doge can have a $20 billion marketcap, Litecoin should have a bigger market cap than doge that's for sure. If people can hodl this long enough, they will get rewarded for their patience. Litecoin is fast, litecoin is cheap to use and it has an excellent reputation. If you are an investor and looking for a coin which hasn't made its moonshot yet, look no further.

Do you really think that someone buying a coin and holding it for 5 Years is an investor?
What is your definition of investor?

For me a simple shareholder is just that. A shareholder. He has no influence on the outcome. An investor on the other hand has a say in where the company's direction is going to be.

Yet nothing is  happening good towards the whole LTC economy as while the market  is climbing high now Litecoin moves like together with all and not making any big climb if that Paypal adopting  is a huge plus .
so maybe there are a lot of things litecoin team should consider before we could reach the top as I have sold all my litecoin back in 2018  and never keep a part till now.

It is often stated that litecoin lacks marketing not only here but also in the litecoin telegram, the forum, on x etc..

The answer was that they like it like that. Litecoin moves at its own speed so it seems. The litecoin foundation invests in updates but not in marketing.
Marketing Litecoin is big events talking about litecoin to litecoiners. Splendid idea to make its features known to people already knowing those features.

That's true. Litecoin lacks marketing compared to the rest of the pack. I think that's a good thing because it forces the project to focus on utility, instead of hype. The cryptocurrency goes up in price at a slow and steady rate. With relatively-stable market prices, LTC could be the crypto of choice for those looking into a reliable store of value that's truly-decentralized. "Wall Street" already joined the revolution with the Bitcoin spot ETFs, so there's a high chance Litecoin will get its own ETF in the future.

I'll see you in the next bull market. Maybe Litecoin will finally get the attention it deserves? :D

I think with its stability and popularity in the market, it doesn't really need to get marketed. The main dev of it have left the project long time ago and that's why there's no actual guy that's moving this silver bitcoin for the marketing purposes. I'm just so disappointed with LTC all over these years that I've treated it as one of my best investment but didn't delivered me the best gains on my portfolio and that's why this time, I am only using it for transfers and not anymore as an investment. There's so much with this project that many of us have liked it before but investment-wise, it's no longer a choice for me.

Well, everyone has their own opinion when it comes to different coins mostly bitcoin, it's obvious most people intend to separate bitcoin when listing other crypto. Bitcoin and litecoin can't be compared and there's no point comparing different coins having different market cap and price. My opinion, litecoin with such massive growth should not be seen as a common coin, definitely litecoin will rise but when it comes to bitcoin, bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency in the crypto space so even if litecoin will gain a lot in the future no doubt but litecoin can't outshine bitcoin.

yeah, it's quite disappointing to see what's happening with Litecoin. People used to like it for its gains, but now it's not doing so well. If you look at the market, almost every coin is going up except Litecoin. The truth is, Litecoin has been stagnant for years. It's just sliding down the rankings, and no one talks about it when it's down. but there was a time when people saw Litecoin as a digital currency with real-world use. But nowadays, everyone's just focused on making a profit, and they don't care about anything else. Still, there are some who genuinely believe in its long-term success. It's still in the top 20 coins, so maybe someday money will flow from Bitcoin to Litecoin. who knows?

The first act is your own mistake so yeah that was wrong reading of market , but don't do same mistakes for the second time mate not unless you are 100% sure and trust litecoin.
because I will not do the same thing mate because like you i used to lose also in litecoin but now never that I will trust this coin  again because there are lot of currency that i can put my money on and will have bog chance of earning.

Litecoin currently has a much lower price increase than other coins, despite being an old platform and with more investors, it currently has a lower price. So I can take trades in such a way and time that I can profit, I will usually invest money to make money.

Trading destroys coins specially when their usecase is just P2P like Litecoin

That's the truth, Litecoin has been stagnant for so long and not to the point that it is desirable as an investment. Not today anymore but it's still a good one if you're going to transfer because it is still a quick and cheap crypto in transactions.

Its community is making it stay at the top 20 and that's why it's still seen there. But maybe someday you're right that money from Bitcoin and other altcoins will flow once again to Litecoin but you have to be the most patient with that.

Funny thing is that nearly every crypto exchange has an LTC trading pair. That's a good sign of how healthy the Litecoin market is. No one may be talking about LTC's upcoming halving event or its limited supply now, but that might change in the future as crypto/Blockchain tech goes deep into the mainstream. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs were the first step towards exposure/publicity of the whole industry. If things keep progressing, it's likely LTC will experience a new ATH in market prices.

The sky is the limit to how far Litecoin will go. At least, it's a far more decentralized alternative than Ethereum or Solana. As long as there's a community backing the project every step of the way, there should be nothing to worry about. :D

Some hopium for the poor, patient Litecoin folks :)

Litecoin tends to grow in a quite explosive fashion.

For example, in 2020, it wasn't until November until it left a long sideways market between $40 and $50, when Bitcoin was already beginning to attack the old ATH from October on. In late November, it woke up, but it wasn't until mid-to-late December (Bitcoin hit its old ATH in early December) that earlier highs in this year were sustainably crossed. Then it grew explosively and in 5 months registered a x5, from $85 to $400.

I could imagine a similar scenario this time. LTC has broken its earlier highs of late 2023 and 2024, but still not the highs reached in the pre-halving pump at mid-2023. If BTC breaks its ATH now in the next days or weeks, it could be the time for LTC a week or two later to break the halving high of $115. This could finally lead to optimism and true capital inflow, and finally to a new substantial high, if not an ATH.

I hope so. Litecoin is certainly one of the best Blockchains around for quick and cheap transfers. It "mimics" Bitcoin with a limited supply of 84m units (4x as much). One day we'll see the media hyping LTC's block reward halving events like they do with BTC. With enough attention, Litecoin can get its own spot ETFs. I'd take advantage of this "hidden gem" before "Wall Street" gets its hands into it. Hopefully it will remain a cost-effective and high-performing cryptocurrency for generations.

Like it or not, Litcoin is the most decentralized Blockchain after Bitcoin. Even Ethereum got compromised with the PoS upgrade. As long as LTC stays decentralized, nothing else matters. ;)

It could well be the most decentralized Blockchain.
Due to Bitcoin now collectevely being bought by institutions, the very same the Whitepaper wishes to circunvent.

Yes I also say Altcoins are stupid to hold for five years, if you want to hold long term or more than five years then you can choose Bitcoin. Bitcoin will reach the maximum level and is ready to give you the maximum benefit. Litecoins can be beneficial to hold for a short period of time if you want to hold it but it is not advisable for me to hold it for a long time.

That depends, I have memory, or use excel, when being paid I prefer LTC. I get it at the price say 90 as for today. If it reaches 95 I sell it for local currency.
The advantage of local currencies. Never being fixed o one income or holding form is best.

One would hope "Wall Street" doesn't get its "dirty hands" into Litecoin by filling applications for spot ETFs. Institutionalization of crypto completely goes against what Satoshi envisioned in the first place. The whole point/idea of crypto is to eliminate the middlemen (banks, governments, companies, etc). Not integrate them into the system.

Banks' failures in the past caused us great economic struggle. Do we want this for crypto? I guess so, especially when most people don't care about decentralization. All they want is to fill their pockets with money, even if that means giving away their freedom/liberty and self-sovereignity. Litecoin stands by Bitcoin's original values. While prices aren't "pumping" like other coins, it's a great way to send/receive payments in a decentralized manner without "breaking the bank". At current market prices, I'd say LTC is relatively stable. Hopefully, it will last for generations. :)

Almost unnoticed, last night LTC crossed the $100 line again for the first time after the pre-halving rally in 2023, reaching a new YTD high of $104. It currently trades again below $100, but the tendency should be clear now. LTC is up >30% in the last 14 days, so the price is continuing to recover.

To put things into perspective, let's look at LTC's last year's price evolution:

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/03/12/y0GC2.png
Source: Coingecko (https://www.coingecko.com/es/monedas/litecoin)

I expect some resistance in this area, because in 2023 LTC traded a lot of time in the range around $90-100 with many small local tops in the $100-105 area. There could be some selling from those who have bought at these times and are still disappointed with LTC's performance. However, once the $115 top of the pre-halving rally is surpassed, the way to the upside looks quite clear. All previous highs are from 2021 or very early 2022, so there shouldn't be that many buyers from these times left. Of course, nothing is guaranteed. Do your own research and only invest what you're willing to lose :)

PS: Usage charts continue to look very good (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-doge-ltc-dash-xmr.html#6m), with about 200.000-250.000 txes/day, which is on average more than half of Bitcoin's transaction count (about 400.000/day). A significant part may be still related to Ordinals but the big hype has waned both in BTC and LTC, even if BTC fees have decreased lately.

Litecoin shines through its features.

LTC is still undervalued considering that it went through a halving without any huge "pump" in market prices. All of the attention is on Bitcoin spot ETFs and the anticipated Bitcoin halving event. Meanwhile, Litecoin is being left behind in the dust.

I'm saddened by this, especially when LTC is much more decentralized than ETH. Perhaps even more than BTC, especially when institutional investment companies are buying all of the coins. I'm waiting for the day when Litecoin becomes "Silver to Bitcoin's Gold". Maybe it will reach $1k sometime in the future? :D

Well your entitled to your opinion, but expectations is not cut off yet , but just that it can't surpassed Bitcoin as some may speculate ,it will be very wrong to say despite if it atain any ATH before halving. I am seeing a come back but can't surpassed Bitcoin.

See this?

This is how the real world adoption looks. Litecoin has been dominating the crypto payments. It is the ultimate crypto currency till it  becomes a store of value coin like bitcoin.

This screenshot above guarantees that litecoin will always have a price support no matter what happens. It is because it solves a real world problem. People really use it to buy goods. BCH was supposed to be like this but guess what, LTC is better than BCH.

Litecoin can be used widely in online payments, but its performance is not showing we are in a bull run. Most of the project pumped at least 2X but litecoin just stagnated in the same area for a long time. Even if there is a comeback, it won't be that promising any more. There are so many new, promising projects out there that investors can not resist investing in a new project rather than an old one like litecoin. Anything can happens in crypto so lets see what we can get litecoin in the future.

Thanks for this, it's interesting that according to the graph LTC payments seem to be even growing strongly this year, I knew already LTC was first in this list because the Litecoin Foundation showed that number in their yearly report for 2023 (https://www.litecoin.net/news/2023-litecoins-most-prolific-exciting-year), but I had expected a flatter or stagnating growth.

In general, I think Litecoin supporters (and other supporters of "classic" altcoins like XMR or NMC) should be much bolder in general. Perhaps some are timid about their investment because it is an "old coin" or "outdated" related to newer shiny PoS "Ethereum killers".

But think again: Most of the high-ranked PoS altcoins, including Ethereum, are based on a concept from the year 1999 (Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (https://www.scs.stanford.edu/nyu/03sp/sched/bfs.pdf)). So can you blame LTC and Co. to use an algorithm, the Nakamoto Consensus, which is 9 years newer and there's consensus that it's more objective and less vulnerable to attacks (as it doesn't require Weak Subjectivity like PoS does)? ;)

(BTW: today the first time I had a transaction stuck for more than some minutes with 2 sat/vbyte. Good or bad sign? ;) In addition to some Ordinals stuff, there was however also a sequence of unusually long blocks.)

Couldn't agree more with you, mate. LTC is and will always be better than BCH. Nobody wants a direct fork/clone of Bitcoin pretending to be the original cryptocurrency. People want something different that focuses on real use cases than anything else. Despite the fact that LTC is similar to BTC, it has a few things that makes it special. The slightly-higher supply of 84m units, a different PoW algorithm, a smaller block time, and the Mimblewimble privacy feature makes LTC a good BTC alternative. On the plus side, it isn't "owned" by institutional investment companies (BlackRock, MicroStrategy) nor governments.

If people knew LTC's potential, it would've reached a new ATH by now. At least, prices are relatively-stable. With most crypto exchanges supporting LTC, nothing can go wrong. Maybe it's a "hidden gem" waiting to blossom someday? :D

That is kind of inevitable, once the hunger for BTC is diminishing the next coins will fall victim. 
For a mass adoption their marketing is too centered into meetings and sit ins.

In theory, 1 LTC should be worth 0.25 BTC at most.

In practice it has never reached such a high valuation...

If you ask me, LTC is the most likely candidate for the next crypto ETF (as soon as BTC supply drains out, maybe 5 years from now).

ETH doesn't have much chance according to SEC, it will most likely be declared a security.

PoW coins are certainly not dead (as Greta Thunberg bootlickers would like you to believe). ;)

Litecoin can be very old coin but it's still promising coin in the market, and still it's undervalued coin if you will comparing other projects, as par as less transaction fees it's very popular specially in online payment and personally i am using this coin to purchase many products from online marketplace. But i didn't see any increases where many top coins are already huge increased.

LTC will eventually get owned by Blackrock and there is already a Grayscale Trust for LTC which is called LTCN (https://www.grayscale.com/crypto-products/grayscale-litecoin-trust). I check the litecoin subreddit occasionally and it seems there is also a litecoin ETF on the way which is about to get approved by the SEC. So, these are probably the last moments before you can acquire them cheap litoshis. It is already showing signs of a breakout btw. Recently ltc went as high as $105. Sooner or later it will meet its ATH again but ltc's main problem is that there are too many shitcoins competing with it.

It is always the same game. When ETH was $9 nobody wanted it, when it went above $1000 everybody wanted it. Still though, as long as you keep your cool and hodl, you'll get rewarded for your patience.

I actually have been DCA'ing LTC for some time instead of BTC because I see great value here.

Wow. So I guess it should only be matter of time before "Wall Street" gets its hands dirty on Litecoin. I've read there's also a Grayscale Trust for BCH. Even ZEC is on the list. If the SEC approves spot ETFs for the aforementioned cryptocurrencies, market prices won't be cheap ever again. What I'm concerned about is the decentralization of crypto. Especially of both BTC and LTC. The latter has been widely unpopular due to fierce competition on the industry. But that could all change overnight with the spot ETF hype.

If LTC gets owned by institutional investment companies, it might be time to start looking for other options. Especially if you're concerned about decentralization. People only want to make money, so they won't care if ETFs negatively-impact the network in the long run. Convenience goes on top of everything else, right? The future of LTC is uncertain, so we can only hope for the best. :(

Do you guys make posts like this to fill your daily campaign quota or what? ::)

The BTC network is still decentralized, despite BlackRock having tons of BTC:

I don't see LTC changing either:

https://miningpoolstats.stream/litecoin

For now. But things could change in the future if miners and node operators defect to companies' own interests. What's stopping BlackRock and other giants from running their own nodes and miners? If they accumulate a large portion of the circulating supply, self-custody of BTC would be hard to achieve in the long run. We should empower people to take control of their own keys/seeds instead of leaving their coins at a CEX or custodial wallets.

I'd say Litecoin is a better option than Bitcoin right now because it isn't mass-accumulated by institutions yet. There are no plans for a spot LTC ETF right now (AFAIK). The cryptocurrency isn't as hyped as BTC is, anyways. I'd prefer LTC to remain a lesser-known cryptocurrency even if that means lower market prices in the long run. It's not always about money, is it? :D

This topic was recently discussed in the Bitcoin section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5480888.0). I see a minimal danger for such a "conspiracy" to work if Bitcoin is really losing the "idealistic" part of the user base completely, but I don't think this will happen, at least not soon. But as long as we have vocal voices upholding the cypherpunk ethos, the markets will follow the "honest" chain/protocol, because this particular ethos is too much associated with Bitcoin's main characteristics (censorship resistance etc.) which can be described, from a business perspective, as USPs (unique selling propositions).

Hypothetical case: if <some business> tries to convince miners that Bitcoin should change to PoS and create a way to block funds (just like ERC-20 tokens), would the miners agree? I think not, because all such a change would do is to convert Bitcoin in a poor man's Ethereum without even a Turing-complete smart contract language, which can be censored at any time. Why should this coin then have any value? Miners will understand this case.

I however agree that we should aim for a healthy ecosystem of several decentralized, non-premined, uncensorable chains in the case anything goes wrong with BTC. And Litecoin is probably one of those chains all those interested in censorship resistance and similar stuff should also be interested to protect, even if its origins were a little bit shady (instamine allegations due to Charlie Lee's early GPU mining). XMR, Doge, maybe also Dash, RVN or Flux, and perhaps also some much weaker non-premined chains but with unique characteristics like NMC and Signum are other chains I would mention here.

No, here I completely disagree, that won't happen. This would drive the BTC price into insane regions, so they would stop accumulating eventually, and additionally this would incentive old whales to sell, leading to other coins being distributed. Also there could be compliance problems, BlackRock et al. are heavily regulated.

I also disagree that LTC should remain "unknown". The more well-known a chain is, the more secure it is (censorship resistance, ecosystem ...).

Owning coins vs owning the hashrate. 2 different things.

We're not talking about PoS coins like ETH.

I wish you could post that in litecointalk.
There the reigning opinion on being front runner is the total opposite. 

We may not have to give a listening hears to some of the people that were busy saying that litecoin has been underrated, it may not perform well as expected in recent times, but that doesn't justify the saying that this same coin is being undervalued, because it has also been once upon a time among the most performing cryptocurrencies and still awaits for its own turn in making such a wonderful and nice performance again, its network transaction fee is very cheap and affordable and nothing changed concerning this.

Litecoin bitchezz

Litecoin rose to a 24-hour high of $110.44. For those who were worried about Litecoin, I think their worries will soon be over. After Halving the market growth has started. I don't know if Litecoin will reach all-time highs this season. But do you think Litecoin can reach all-time highs this season or will Bitcoin hit all-time highs in the bull market after the halving?

Yes, I seen litecoin between $101.80 - $109.38 in the last 24 hours and a range of $85.23 - $108.96 over the weekend. I think Litecoin will take a lot more time to increase in value, especially since Litecoin is far from its past highs. Litecoin is pumping during Bitcoin's naturally bullish times. If the alt coins start to rally after the bitcoin halving then the litecoin will start pumping but I don't think they will touch their past highs when the bull run starts at the end of the year. It may take some time but I believe Litecoin will come back to its previous form very soon.

Well how do you compile your data, litecoin climbs when bitcoin falls, at least since some time after halvening.
What litecoin lacks is marketing, some stepping out of the grassroots push which should come from their management @litecoinfoundation.
The community of litecoin should open up and write eBay, Stripe and Klarna countless emails demanding an inclusion of that particular coin.
The P2P role fits like a glove.

$115 is the real milestone, until there I expect more volatility, with rises and pullbacks. But then it could rise quite fast if we take into account what happened in past cycles.

Let's see how the 2021 bullrun happened:

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/03/30/VPXkw.png

The interesting thing here to observe is the behavior of the LTC/BTC price compared to LTC/USD. LTC/BTC was still decreasing when LTC/USD already rose sharply. This was the "trickle down" effect from Bitcoin down to most altcoins in most of the bull market. But then suddenly LTC/BTC takes off, leading to a much steeper increase in LTC/USD too. This spike happened in April/May 2021, which was a major "alt season".

LTC could be now in a situation like in January 2021: price is slowly rising, but still not in comparison with BTC. But in 2-3 months a similar spike could happen.

Of course not. I've never stated Bitcoin was a PoS coin. What I've meant is that big companies can acquire a large portion of the network's hashrate by establishing mining farms. They'll be limited to amount of money they can spend on ASIC hardware, though. As long neither institutions nor governments are able to influence miners' decisions on the Blockchain, there should be nothing to worry about.

PoW coins by far, are the most decentralized and censorship-resistant ones on the industry. You can see why "shitcoins" like ETH and SOL have been compromised by wealthy people (corporations. whales, exchanges, etc). That's why they'll eventually die (or become easier to regulate by the government) in the long run. With LTC now experiencing increased interest due to the spot ETF hype, we can expect market prices to go all the way to the moon. The comeback is inevitable. Hopefully, it will stay decentralized and censorship-resistant for generations. :D
