As an owner of LTC, a bet I took a few weeks ago with the Segwit and Lightning networks annoucements, I take it for a great news can I ?
Thanks for the share !
But why bitstamp would prefer ltc to eth ? Why greeting the 5th capitalisation instead of the second one?
I asked myself the same questions and I'm sure various theories will be put forth. I even have my own; but, since all theories in crypto are generally pulled out of thin air I won't make any elite claims.
Edit: As for being good news according to the wiki in 2016 bitstamp was rated the second largest exchange in the world for BTC volume. So LTC being added is great news.
