LTC : Keep or convert to BTC ?

[gcube1305]

Hi all,

I have a few amount of LTC. I was wondering if i should convert it to BTC or keep them. I do not need my money right now (it is a long term investment).

If i continue mining LTC, should i convert them ASAP to BTC or should i keep them, expecting the price go up ?

What do you think?

Well what do you think will grow more quickly?

Say you have 100 LTC today worth say $500.

Those 100 LTC can buy 1 BTC worth $500.

Which do you think will grow more quickly? The value of BTC or the value of LTC?

Personally, I think it's easier for your 100 LTC to become $1000 if you left in LTC. Doubling from $5 to $10 per LTC seems more plausible in the short term than BTC from $500 to $1000.

I say keep in LTC - as it as not experienced the rapid appreciation that btc has, there is more upside potential.

Also -> Speculation

BTC is more volatile than LTC, while the long-term increase is about the same for both. While LTC is the safer bet right now, it is possible that a new altcoin will dethrone it sometime in the near future.

In my opinion, both should be equally good to keep for about half a year. For less than that, BTC can be too volatile. For more than that, LTC can be replaced, although it is unlikely at this point.

for long term investment you should have the trinity BTC-LTC-PPC
big amount from each
also a few mastercoins

Ok i'm gonna keep my LTC and hope price go up...

I was wondering about PPC, is there a pool that do merged-mining BTC/NMC/PPC?
Is there a pool that do merged-mining LTC/MST ?
