I sold my litecoins on 19 mbtc, I made a nice profit with litecoins and for me this rise was expected, we talk about it here for months that price will go up. My first litecoins were bought for 3 mbtc, and I`m not greedy with trading, better something then nothing. I`m more concentrated now on some other much cheaper coins for now I can say just thank you to litecoin for nice profit, and if price drop I will buy litecoins again.
As LTC is more useful than ripple, i think it will surpass it within 1-2years to become #3 by marketcap. Therefore my long term target is $250+ (but true, a lot of things can change over time, so it may or may not happen)
Holding for long term looks like a good thing to do with most altcoins, no matter what some people say prices shows much more. Maybe litecoin price can touch 250$ one day, but I needed money now. Like I`m always saying some people can wait, some can`t.
