In a hundred years time people will still buy it. Why people still buy gold?

Yes it is good investment but you must make sure you have proper security in place. Paper wallet is still on of the best choices.

4 Days ago i requested a LTC withdrawal...............


edit:
all sorted now, took a little longer than usual but all good at the end.
  

Bitcoin and Litecoin don’t need to be in contest, and if Bitcoin activates Segwit and the eventual Lightning network, they could work very well together in atomic cross-chain transactions. Yes, sometime in the near future you may buy your coffee by cross chain swapping some BTC for LTC.

Bitcoin LN txns will always be more expensive than Litecoin LN txns. It may make economic sense for a LN txn to go via Litecoin and back to Bitcoin to get the cheapest rate. Lightning makes this possible because it allows the two LN to be interoperable.

With atomic cross-chain transactions via LN two users can trade BTC and LTC instantaneous and without risk. Efficient decentralized exchanges are possible. Or what if a merchant accepts only BTC but you only have LTC. You can now pay LTC and exchange them instantly through a LN exchange node and send BTC to the merchant. Litecoin is better suited for Micropayments.

Both will have Confidential transaction by masking the amount sent at first stage of development then later combining Coinjoin and creating false negatives and pay zero bitcoins to several addresses to obfuscate where the bitcoins really went.

It is clear a lot have not understood or come to terms with the decentralize progress at work.
I dont need a Bank or Politician or anyone else to tell me what to do.
Technology is available now where i can upvote on all the things of interest to me.
Now with economically sensible Micropayment possibilities available soon upvoting will be taken to the next level.
You don't share the CV or email address with just anyone, why would you do so with tokens/coins?
A private Blockchain instantly verifiable proves my creditworthiness.

Well, Ripple will most likely do alright but XRP is in major trouble.
Now since the first one has used copy-paste of xrp's code the foot is in the door and opened the floodgates.
Every Bank will create its own token as it is the cheapest way.
Creation and maintenance is next to nothing and lots of Banks already have contractual agreement to work with Ripple and use their services.
It is plain and simply stupid to think an Indian Bank will use the same xrp as a American Bank one or a Nigerian one ......

By no means will it stop at Banks, Tokens/Coins will be as common as email addresses and the common reference point is Bitcoin the "President". Every President has a running mate which obviously must be very similar in every aspect (not from the opposition camp) and "clean" of scams.
You could call it the "Bitcoin Standard".
A system of providing and controlling the exchange of coins, in which the value of the coin is fixed against that of Bitcoin.

The first 22 is roughly like this. Some never went past the proposals stage other may survived a day or two
How may hours Eurobitcoin, AfroBitcoins.....survived or where actually made only dev knows certain, but Universal Bitcoin did exits so did Timecoin

Full points when you can figure out where it is.

The whole story so far LTC-BTC
https://i.imgur.com/RPwxciu.png

does not include todays 20% move

Its only a matter of time.
Everyone already has a blockchain, its called a CV.
In times to come the blockchain defines your worth, its your personal money.

Its a day old so not quite up to date.

As i sad before the past does not tell the future.

To have different starting dates on one forecast chart does not work. So  here is a fix. Not that is really meaningful. The other issue is the missing early data for bitcoin, it is needed so i started a one cent.


and

Forecasting is totally useless. Based on currently available date you get this result by 2020
 
The past will not tell you the future
