User Luke-Jr claims Litecoin is a "quick pump and dump scheme" on Wikipedia

[server]

Who cares what anyone thinks... Bitcoin is gold 2.0 and Litecoin is silver.

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.

It's more stable than bitcoin at the moment 

For a quick pump and dump scheme it also seems to go pretty slow in cryptocurrency measurements.

Luke-Jr is a christian fundamentalist, people with imaginary friends tend to hate things for no reasons at all, I'm not even try to guess why he has something against ltc. Maybe it was written

ltc is better than his alt coin, the first alt coin tonal coin

Luke-Jr is a fundamentalist Christian. In my opinion, that makes him an idiot. The way he acts, in my opinion is distasteful. Because of this, I refuse to respect him.

He's spreading lies about litecoin all over the internet, calling it a scam.

Luke-Jr., the "aborted babies go to hell" wannabe Christian, has Josh's dick so deep up his arse it's not funny any more.

Of course he has to defame Litecoin. He is a paid BFL shill. If everyone starts mining Litecoins, BFL can pack up and go home ......

luke-jr is gay he and josh are lovers

If Luke didn't engage in it himself, he most likely wouldn't be on the receiving end.

LTC will succeed. I do not believe Luke can stop it.

We can discuss Luke-Jr till the end of eternity but this will change nothing in his behavior. He does only what voices in his head say.

On wikipedia's discussion page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Litecoin#Should_a_pump_and_dump_scheme_really_get_a_wikipedia_page.3F

He's spreading lies opinions about litecoin all over the internet, calling it a scam.

FTFY.

I think Wikipedia has its own procedures in place to regulate its content.

TQ is an excellent tool in academia and the courtroom. As a function of reality, not so much.

You all are going to burn in hell.....talking like that about god himself  

You'll find that a lot of the internet is atheist.

Me included.

[tacotime]

The only thing that surprises me is that LukeJr has time to sit around arguing on a Wiki talk page instead of actively developing Bitcoin.

[digicoin]

Luke-Jr may be right. Why not? Litecoin is quite similar to Bitcoin and brings nearly nothing new.

BitCoin - Money
LiteCoin - Photocopied paper

Its unfortunate that someone so intelligent can be so... ah... Im searching for the right words here...ummmmmm....uhhh...... shortsighted.

Except ASIC resistance, faster confirmations, better security too, I hear. You're an idiot.

+ ASIC resistance: --> so what? You lose to ASIC guys. No problem. You are out, someone in. Nothing bad.
+ faster confirmations: --> more network activity and bandwidth. Do you know that?
+ better security: --> how do you know it? Have you ever hacked or exploited a vulnerability of BitCoin? Are you kidding?

Yep, and if I would believe I would say I'm an atheist, who wants to spend eternity in the cold on a cloud up there when you can partying with the cool people in a nice warm place.

That, and there's no such thing as ASIC resistance, sure it will be somewhat less efficient (more expensive and complex to build), but still very possible and profitable, if any of these alt-coins ever get the valuation that bitcoin has now, ASIC's will be developed just as with bitcoin, probably even faster because we've all been there.

Why would Litecoin holders thank him? if anything he kept Litecoin from taking over, when Bitcoin hardforked. If the Bitcoin hardfork fiasco lasted a lot longer, Litecoin would have a chance to become the dominant currency.

Do you understand the word "if"?

He is the reason that you are still wealthy if any of you were smart enough to buy BTC at low prices!

Why should anyone thank him for being a selfish douche? (I'm not saying he is one but it seems like that's what's being reported here) He is invested in BTC and faced with the possibility of his investment going down the drain he unintentionally helped everyone else invested in BTC by trying to save his own ass (it would be hard for him to increase the value of his bitcoins while everyone elses bitcoins somehow decreased in value).

If he really is going around spreading lies about litecoin and such just to line his own pockets (at the expense of litecoin miners) he doesn't sound like much of a philanthropist deserving of thanks to me.

Would you say the same about Satoshi? Do you even know who Satoshi is? Do you know who luke-jr is?

an extremely good coder who happen to be a douchenozzle.

Agreed. I encourage people to mine LTC if it's profitable for them to do so, but it's sad that some people are actually investing in Litecoin. Litecoin and other near-exact Bitcoin clones have no chance of going anywhere, and it's a tragedy that people are spending time on them rather than Bitcoin or an altcoin that actually improves significantly on Bitcoin. There are so many interesting things that an altcoin could do, but people waste time on these tiny Bitcoin modifications...

From reading his ludicrous claims on the Wikipedia talk page, this guy apparently knows as much about how Wikipedia works as he does about Litecoin.  That is, SFA.
