Why Litecoin was doomed from the start to fail

[kelsey]

microguy seriously are you going to post the same out of context bs to every thread?

yeah yeah we know you hate ltc, and btc; and goldcoin will take over and rule the crypto landscape..........then why don't you pony up and head back to the 3 other members on your own forum  ...and leave us in peace  

I'm accumulating. Once I've completed the accumulation phase, I will leave this place in peace and return to my kingdom and my golden throne.

yes we know most the litecoin FUDders will turn into litecoin pumpers once they have their fill of cheap litecoins

I think the reason it was doomed to fail is because it doesn't offer much over bitcoin. Without merchants accepting it there's not much use for it as a currency and why would merchants use it when they can just accept bitcoin.

Point 1 - the developers of Litecoin are absent.

Wrong! Litecoin does not need any more development, therefore it does not need a developer.

Now excuse me while I get back to enjoying a large glass of Coinbase Koolaid.

it offers a few very crucial points over bitcoin for going mainstream, eg known creator (anon dev may be cool around here but not in the real world being real money, especially when said creator has a billion dollar + stash).

thing it offers over all other alts and the reason it stays a solid 2nd, no matter what FUD is spread here....TRUST.
