BTC-e is safest way to exchange BTC to LTC.
Dont know if it is good idea when LTC is at historical top now though... seems LTC can be only worse
Isn't that what they said every time BTC hit a new high?
Probably, but LTC entered into a microbubble this week, raeaching an all time high of about $48 USD/LTC late on Wednesday and it's now back down to about $36-37 USD/LTC.
Nobody is really certain which direction this currency can go right now, there's a bunch of speculation around it and it's fluctiating by tremendous amounts each minute (currently on a slight downard trend).
