Seriously read the #bitcoin-dev before spreading your (likely irrelevant) opinions on luke-jr. He is the guy saving Bitcoin! Most of the other devs were just messing around. Just because he does some development with btc does not mean he is correct about ltc. that is just silly. I hate discussing with people who do not read my posts. It seems so counterproductive. Luke-jr may be wrong on Litecoins but you should all respect him and not badmouth him (Radacoin).

LTC is an altcoin, just like the rest aside from BTC. I honestly think Luke Jr has a valid point that there is no need for other currencies and that LTC to an extent is just that a 'pump and dump'. Limited adoption, tons of hype and highly imaginary underlying value. Hell, we are talking about a coin that went from 0.40 - $5 in literally 24 hours. Of course all the LTC miners are going to argue it's just 'hating' but then again, lots of people saying the same about Feathercoin, which is in my opinion the very definition of a overhyped, 'premined' scamcoin designed to relieve new miners of GPU power and BTC.

BTC went from 33 to 3, 260 to 70, 150 to 50, etc, all in 24 hours. LTC has been much more stable than BTC in the last few months. |

Luke is right. The only reason people buy it is to make a profit off how volatile it is. Don't kid yourself in thinking it is as good as bitcoin. Think in terms of all of the COD clones, did they ever actually succeed in being the new popular game? No, because they brought nothing substantially new to the table. COD always won over the market, just like bitcoin does and will.
Again, how volatile it is? You people need to seriously do some research before opening your mouths. |

LTC is perfect for when BTC gets forked or has an unfixable bug.
people who hate ltc are just btc fan boys and are not true crypto bugs.

The work he has done for LTC is not as significant as the damage he is trying to do to LTC. And what i have said about him are mostly facts, or my views about him. He is clearly trying to protect his BTC interests at the cost of crypto coins. If BTC breaks or forks again, LTC is our best shot! |

Respect is earned from how one treats people, not for coding. LukeJr lost my respect due to his inability to consider the opinions of others. To be honest, the dude strikes me as a bit of a narcissist. |

That doesn't mean we shouldn't attack him for sullying Litecoin's reputation and attacking it for no good reason. Hitler did a lot of good too, he built highways, he was one of the pioneers of animal rights; but he still gassed Jews. I'm not saying Luke-Jr is like Hitler, obviously. I'm saying if you do some good it doesn't give you license to do evil. |

Would you say the same about Satoshi?
Why would that matter in the context of luke-jr? At least you didn't say Hitler, lol. Do you even know who Satoshi is?
I think the real question is do you even know who Satoshi is since your question implies that you do. Last time I checked the identity of the person(s) known as "satoshi" remain unknown to the bitcoin world. |
