Invest in LTC or BTS

[ratatatat]

too late for entry. Better think about shorting it. LTC was a good buy when it was 3$ to 5$. BTS i wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

Litecoin is probably the worst investement you can make of any crypto IMO, specially at this price. Its record as a store of value is abominable and it relies on periodic "resuscitation" pumps just to be kept alive. Have a look at this:



Clearly the place not to buy is right at the top of one of those spikes - or in fact anywhere during a litecoin spike, unless you happen to know exactly where you're going to jump off.

The current pump has nothing to do with scaling. It would be if litecoin implementing segwit could scale bitcoin but it isn't, it's scaling litecoin and so it's no more a driver or value than any other scaleable altcoin is. The reason for the pump (as you can see from that chart) is that whales are accumulating bitcoin, not litecoin and are using the recent addition to coinbase as a basis for fleecing unassuming traders jumping on the bandwagon, just exactly as they did with the previous 'spikes'. Note the lower low every year.

I should be agree with your statement, The purpose of segwit just to driving the price of litecoin. The scaling solution from litecoin just to attract new investors and no more. With his fast block and it doesn't make sense to implement scaling solution for bitcoin.

Is there a reason why you are deciding between these two? They are both imo a bad investment at this point in time, as others have said LTC was once a decent buy but its gone up too much in value now. There are plenty of good alts still decently priced though.

Ltc is good for invest.

Hello Altcoiners,

I would like to invest in Alt Coins.
Which is better in long time investment, LiteCoin or Bitshares ?

Total Supply of LTC is 84millions.
Bitshares is 2 billions.

LTC : $ 35.19
BTS :$0.041847

Thanks.

Before any Investment first you need to understand about the basic principle of the Investment in any altcoin , Because Investment In altcoins is also have chances of loss Because a particular coin in which you made Investment can go down to 1 satoshi ( here the big Example is yes coin ) .
So never put your all the eggs in single bucket , always put in different different bucket .
Here i made Investment in the BTM , dgb , doge , ripple , monero Because I . thinking that out of one of them will surely rise to double and will turn my Investment into double .
So here I will suggest you to Invest in the both Instead of single one .

Anybody who said to invest into LTC doesn't know a shit about Cryptocurrency. Right now LTC is being OVERVALUED and it's going to fall anytime soon. If you go in now you will have to wait for a long-time to get into profit.

If you read good about BTS then you will know that the price has spiked recently because it got the hype
Take a look at https://twitter.com/bitshares/status/864574047169982464
BTS can handle 3000 transactions per second
I don't want to brag or anything but I'm into BTS since it was 2 cents and I see it hitting atleast 15 cents by the mid of June. I'm here for the long-term investment so I'll just wait and re-invest more once I got some chunk of cash.

But definitely, you should bypass LTC since there will be no profit for you anytime soon there.  You should take a look at NAV, SIA and BELA.

Both are trashcoins ltc more so than bts so if those are ur only two choices then get bts

Why do you think BTS is a trash coin?
Please elaborate more details before doing a trashtalk, thanks.

[umbara ardian]

I always choose LTC.

[Inkdatar]

When I learn trading LTC is my best choice among cryptocurrency. Because I believe it has a good future and still on top in the market. And, many traders invest in Ltc.

How can ltc be a "trash coin" when coinbase has listed it? When eth had problems and was at its lowest, coinbase listed it and look at where eth is now. Would ltc head for that same path? It's a possibility. Perhaps Coinbase wouldn't gamble on a coin that won't have a future  So I'd say ltc. Hold some until it peaks.

Just because CoinBase listed it, doesn't mean it has bright future. CoinBase is only in this sector just for the pure profit. They're ripping customers so bad, that's why i never use them.

Keep digging into BTS and one can see some interesting news:


Dan's new project EOS.  While Bitshares has been shown to be able to currently hit ~8k operations a block, http://docs.bitshares.eu/_downloads/bitshares-stresstest.pdf, this number needs to be a magnitude higher for real adoption levels.  EOS should help this scale much, much higher.

https://consumerreality.services/ TV show that is coming? https://steemit.com/bitshares/@stan/hollywood-heros and here for the LONG but very, very interesting presentation: http://consumerreality.services/mission-2/

Volume & liquidity is way up over the years: http://cryptofresh.com/charts (this chart takes awhile to load)

For those that call it trash, have you actually tried using it?  The wallet has come a LONG way in the years BitShares has been up and running.  https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/releases

I think LTC is better than BTS, because LTC will have a better future than BTS.

[shamzblueworld]

LTC is way more developed, accepted and trusted. I'd definitely recommend LTC from the two options.
But why only these two? Why are you ruling out other good options? I think Decred, Golem and Monero would be good options too. You should check them out before making a final decision.

[ubercool]

I think LTC is better than BTS, because LTC will have a better future than BTS.

I think it's not fair to compare these two as LTC is far more potential than BTS. After the addition of LTC in coinbase it got more popularity and demand from the cryptocurrency world. I would always prefer BTC over all other altcoins. Started buying and trading CRBIT and its quite good for early traders.

[roshidnahdi]

For the long term it is BTS more promising but it remains market dependent.

Bitshares meanwhile has potentially massive growth at hand.

The reason is that it's uniquely placed to benefit from the large and increasing demand for fiat-pegged cryptographic assets. Just have a look at Tether's volume to see what the potential is. The problem is that Tether is fiat backed whereas Bitshares is a pure crypto solution backed by a genuine market-driven peg.

No brainer I'd say.

Textbook 101 for investments is the fact that past performance does not guarantee future performance.

You are being blinded by technical analysis and ignoring the fundamentals. The game has changed, now litecoin has a main role since it has segwit and its added in coinbase, and its making milestones like getting on the lightning network as the first coin ever with an actual transaction.

With LTC, you invest in a coin that has a totally unknown future.

With mining, there can be a technological breakthrough, and it will affect the coin. It can be a chip, it can be a memory, you don't know, but it can be crippled at any moment.

We all know that BTS has the chance to take over exchanges since it is a decentralized exchange, let's hope the people will notice that and start using it.
