I have not heard anything new with LTC. It seems to be going up recently and is looking good for a run up at this point. I would love to hear any new developments and why people still believe in LTC in today's market.
There shouldn’t have to be anything happening before the price of litecoin will go up, it’s one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the market, and if your talking about Bitcoin and altcoins you’re sure going to mention coins like Litecoin alongside ETH, and the rest of them, and for a coin (litecoin) that has been in the top ten for a long time now, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that the price is going up.
As long as there is a bull run you’re going to be seeing the price going up. So the reason why the price is going up right now is because if the bullish and litecoin is one of those coins that correlates more with Bitcoin. I am not sure if the devs have anything new.
