Thats why its suprising to me when i ask why people are buying those stupid farm boys and other scrypt hardware now of all times get thier panties caught up in a bunch and ask if im holding a huge amount of LTC or stupid shit like that.
I mean its common freakin sense the LTC price and mining is what props up the other alt coins in more ways by one, for one thats a whole bunch of hashrate that is not attacking those precious alt coins and 2 if you ever look at the charts over the last two years when LTC is high and profitable the other coins all reap the benifits.
Now don't get me wrong i expect the LTC price to apreciate in the next six months or so due to the reduced amount of supply thats pure economics it will go higher but not astronomical , I'm thinking back up to $8-10 or so, bascially just enough to support mining again.
But in the meantime expect prices of current scrypt hardware to drop, expect to see some cheaper titans and A2s hit the market BOOK it.
