Satoshi didn't expect GPUs to come on board for bitcoin, right?
Why would you think that? Using more efficient technology is inevitable. General purpose computing on GPU already existed prior to Bitcoin in the form of NVidia CUDA. Even ASICs are possible on LTC and for a lot less than most people imagine. Just reading the scrypt whitepaper one can figure that out. Now LTC will warrant that kind of investment but it would only be for the same reason there are no SolidCoin ASICs not because it isn't possible. The crippled parameters of LTC made sure of that.
Ultimately the FREE MARKET is what matters, not what DeathAndTaxes think. Keep this in mind guys.
I never said ban LTC. I said it is nearly worthless, I stated my opinion and justification for those opinions. Guess what the free market you love so much would seem to agree with me.
DeathAndTaxes you continually talk as if litecoin supporters should STFU and that bitcoin is the all saving currency.
Well news flash that FREE MARKET you are touting as agreeing with you wasn't not very long ago (i.e. 2010).
Satoshi didn't have it all together okay? Hence why he needed others like Gavin to step in. Just because you are taking a statement out of context from 16 months ago (how long you gonna hang on to that?) doesn't mean the LTC isn't a viable solution just as bitcoin is.
No one here is against bitcoin's success. But to be blinded and think only 1 can be successful is stupid.
Free markets dont operate on an absolute solution...even Gold had silver to compliment itself.
Just like Taxes had Death (lol)
