I just rolled out of litecoin at .00855, looking for a little more downturn before the next wave up which could be moonish.
I'm also waiting for a dip before jumping on the ship. Bought some before already, but not completely sure it will dip, therefore not selling yet. |

yeah we are due another leg down. but i don't think for a second that this is the end of the rally. LTC, scam coin as it is, has moon written all over it right now. so i got bids placed, and i'm getting my space suit on.  |

Why anyone would purchase Litecoin to hedge against the 1 MB blocksize limit issue in Bitcoin is beyond me. Litecoin has a similar fixed blocksize problem as Bitcoin. Furthermore if I suspect the 1 MB limit in Bitcoin is resolved it will still remain in Litecoin. To me, if one is looking to alt-coins to hedge against the 1 MB blocksize limit issue in Bitcoin, I would start with those alt-coins that to not have a fixed blocksize limit baked into the protocol and have adaptive blocksize limits instead. This is what led me to Monero.

Bitcoin fails, what makes litecoin wont?
I still dont understand the rationality between another alt coin, if a main coin that was promoted originally fails. As for blocksize, we already know its going to be updated more then 1mb to continue on.

go LTC go! those holding bitcoin are lucky that LTC is rallying -- it'll drag bitcoin along with it, and maybe even snowball into a bigger rally!  holding my litecorns tight, we got more up to come. |

i dunno, there's only a handful of alts that actually have a decent level of liquidity.... mainly LTC, DASH and DOGE. so those are worth watching.... it's all up to the charts. i don't pay any mind to fundamentals.

Fundamentals are only for the hypers who can only sell their shit scam coin to new users by showing them their cool fancy stuff that is almost always still in development.. LTC doesn't need that. It's good for what it was intended for.. |

Well this thread did make me wonder if it was created in 2013 Seeing the 2015 timestamp I admit did suprise me a bit as it does still retain the largest market cap after Bitcoin and the clear gap between 3rd and 4th is much more firmly established than last year. http://coinmarketcap.com/ |

not sure about the dead of an altcoin(like litecoin or monero) if bitcoin fails, remember that they do not share the same network, why scrypt asic should stop mining if bitcoin fails?
a niche market will continue to grow on another alt bif bitcoin fails, so don't expect the end of crypto just because the king is down

Litecoin is just a clone of bitcoin, there is not much innovation. If bitcoin goes down, litecoin will go with it.

If Bitcoin goes down due to Gavin block increase debate, LTC will thrive. |
How Ripple Rips you: "The founders of Ripple Labs created 100 billion XRP at Ripple's inception. No more can be created according to the rules of the Ripple protocol. Of the 100 billion created, 20 billion XRP were retained by the creators, seeders, venture capital companies and other founders. The remaining 80 billion were given to Ripple Labs. Ripple Labs intends to distribute and sell 55 of that 80 billion XRP to users and strategic partners. Ripple Labs also had a giveaway of under 200 million XRP (0.002% of all XRP) via World Community Grid that was later discontinued.[29] Ripple Labs will retain the remaining 25 billion"

There is no right and wrong, we all DONT know what's gonna happen... Personally I THINK (emphasis on THINK) one of the anonymous coins will thrive soon, be it Dash or Monero, we'll see  |

i don't think dying of an altcoin due to (if) bitcoin fails is because of them not sharing the same network. obviously they are being mines separately on a separate network, but if for some reason bitcoin fails, (which is not going to happen any time soon) i seriously doubt that people would choose another altcoin instead. they would simply give crypto up. because what is the grantee that if something like bitcoin with that much support failed then some shitcoin like litecoin which was already dead can stay alive afterwards. |

You still don't get it that the opposite of what you think is the case. People buying not alts because BTC blocks are too small, they buy alts because 1MB blocksize is just fine and consensus is worth more than that. Gavincoin does not have its priorities right. A controversial hardfork creates a serious need for a hedge. Litecoins' network consensus is not threatened like that of BTC. With a threatened network consensus BTC is over value. |

Your money, your risk, you have to do your own due diligence.
You can also look around for some so called 2.0 coins, though I do not have much faith in them.

Regardless of the due diligence, your money is always at risk. Its just a matter of reducing that risk factors that you invest specifically. |
