as many here may know already irl i'm part owner of a company that raises capital for companies wanting to be listed, in our industry we KNOW vcs across the board are leeches., they are renowned for trying to make the quick buck.

we know most the tec crowd get delusional when vcs come along..

as a coin collector myself condition is important ie i rarely by a coin thats been handled.

no mention of what condition its in?

bitcoin had potential til the VC types came along, don't see how anyone would consider vc's as positive, they are leeches that make bitcoin no better the the bank controls fiat....of course that plays into gov hands so thats where btc is heading anyways.

most people consider btc success vs its price in USD  so as a fiat maker well u'll get the success as a currency success will never come for it.

intra exchange trading. send litecoin, then send bitcoin, you'll see, opportunity costs.


admittedly its my own anecdotal evidence (which is part of why I questioned do those who are pro bitcoin actually use bitcoin)., but yeah many versions of bitcoin have been very unstable on various pc's I own, and the last few clients I've used (not the latest as I gave up a few clients back) have failed to work on my macs.

never had any problems with any litecoin client i've tried.

i only use core clients.

i've been saying for years the only thing good to come out of cryptocurrencies (including bitcoin) todate is the idea.

outside of trading I see little use for any cryptocurrencies. and tradings what currently gives bitcoin its value, so if it wasn't for the alts alot less people would trade bitcoin.

i do half agree (if talking use as a curreny) though with "even a single alt devalues a primary use case for driving bitcoin adoption" especially if that alt works better then bitcoin, but then who likes monopolies.

i swear most if not all of the bitcoin is the best crowd there is no need for litecoin or other alts, simply must not ever use bitcoin themselves  

i didn't just wake up one morning say hey I missed the btc boat i might go this litecoin, i didn't miss the bitcoin boat, i've just from the start found it a dog of a thing to use.

i started using litecoin because for my main crypto purpose ie trading; litecoin is simply the best crypto to use as your reserve, it has the consistent liquidity over all the other alts, and you can move it around so so much more easily then bitcoin., adding to that from the start with bitcoin there's been many an unusable core client.

litecoins going to be trading with decent liquidity long into the future because us traders are going to keep using it, most the anti litecoin FUD crowd are bitcoin hoarders or simply the 'there can only be one' alt crowd pushing their $20 worth of scamcoin

......so really they have little influence over the market.....despite plaguing the forum mindlessly with their bitcoin is best or litecoins not innovative FUD
 

traders rock  

Why do you need to get USD in for a decentralised exchange to work?

I've used and traded cryptos for years yet not once have I ever used USD (I've never even seen any US currency) nor have I traded cryptos for fiat.

The whole point of cryptos is to be an alternative to fiat (but thats lost on most the in cryptos for the fiat crowd).

yes and thats working so well for others that have tried eg feathercoin  

something about trust you know kinda more important then panic changes to appease the loudest brainless mouths around.

please don't take it as a personal attack, as an open source community you are free to build and distribute anything you like, just its crypto 101 be careful what you download from unofficial sites (hell even be careful what you download from official coin sites).

anyone downloading a client from a non official source (especially from a link posted by a newbie) is a fool.

and who you trying to fool with this 'innovation' term? 'innovation' just a word throw around on this forum just to sell the latest scamcoin.

as a currency USD is levels of magnitude more successful then bitcoin, yet how innovative is it?

most average joes can barely get their head around bitcoin let alone these innovative alts that don't really add anything innovative just ad more complications, which makes for less chance of success not greater....but thats lost on most here.

key to making a crypto successful as anything more then a trading token (and thats all all cryptos have been todate including bitcoin), is adoption.

what huge intellectual contribution to humanity did satoshi make? is anything in bitcoin a huge intellectual contribution? and even if it was seriously nothing in bitcoin is actually original and its even far from being the first cryptocurrency.

1001 trolls across many threads (many self moderated) saying ltc is dead or dying etc doesn't make it so.

not at all, have you seen where crypto are heading ie mainstream (and by that I mean mainstream trading)

biggest hurdle with regulators over the upcoming EFT was bitcoin anon creator, though it may add a cool factor in crypto circles it doesn't sit so well with regulators, and more importantly joe public.

ltc has that over btc in mainstream adoption, the creator is known and thats a bigger thing then u may realise.

ltc may trail btc in retail adoptions but hey retailers arent triping over themselves to add crypto because there's not much to gain, lets be honest you're not going to gain customers by adding any crypto, few if any really use their btc or ltc or any crypto as a currency, most hoard or trade, or swap for fiat asap.

so u r saying bitcoin dead as well?

sure just greater marketcap, greater trading volume then all other alts combined hmmmmm 

yeah yeah we hear the fud spreaders over and over again on this forum, still doesn't change the reality of it though.

because its a waste of their time and effort, people hoard or trade bitecoin but few if any actually use it as a currency.

ltc is certainly still the top alt and will remain so, one of the few altcoins thats not created as a scam or to profit the devs. Its not a contender to bitcoin but works with bitcoin ie litecoin being the silver to bitcoins gold.


(won't be long though til the 'innovation' crowd pumping their latest scamcoin plague this thread  )
