The alt community should focus all its might on getting Litecoin going as a true BTC alternative, and I will share with you why. Litecoin was gaining major ground against BTC when the flood of scamcoins happened.
I was speculating about recent shenanigans in general on IRC when I was messaged on IRC that from someone who would definitely know that some of the flood of altcoins is being done purposefully by BITCOIN-ONLY adherents in a Machiavellian attempt to discredit Litecoin...as Litecoin was getting close to MAJOR acceptance as *THE* BTC alternative - it was no coincidence that it was at that time the scams hit the alt community like a mack truck!UNTIL - *one* alt gets widespread acceptance (and IMHO) Litecoin is the most fairly distributed, was the first scrypt based with some real advantages over BTC, and LTC has some real existing value, long term track record, and the ONLY CHANCE to break the BITCOIN MONOPOLY NOW
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.I would urge the alt community to stop self-destructing! Push Litecoin together, then later mess with another alt - or there will be NO ALTS.
Stop and *think* they are winning in getting
any "altcoin" automatically seen as a scam!
Uniting behind Litecoin acceptance is a last hope at this point IMHO. Certain people you may know of from the Wiki, here, and in the ASIC business who HATE Litecoin and have done everything to keep Litecoin out of the press and off of Wikipedia are trying to MAKE anything other than Bitcoin be perceived as "scam." Much trickery and manipulation has been done to protect their BTC only investment MONOPOLY.
Certain BITCOINERS (ASIC Investors/producers/owners, DEVS, HOARDERS) are using Nelson Rockefeller/Nathan Rothschild type tactics to create a CRYPTO-CURRENCY MONOPOLY. This is the worst possible outcome.
The shills will come to this thread and tell us why they love Feathers, and Royals, and CHN - its all to fracture the effort THAT WAS WORKING to make LTC BIG.
There are new fake accounts here to fracture and divide this community, there is HUGE pressure on GOX and other retailers, service providers etc to *NOT* accept LTC.
Divide and Conquer? Please Stop and Think...this community is being played like a fiddle, divided and broken, - unite behind LTC and win or else *everyone* loses.THEY FEAR LITECOIN. They have BIG money to protect, don't let them make you all their fools - I have never seen a community so well manipulated as this one has been since the LTC rise.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
They are fighting us, all out. Can we put aside differences long enough to win?
Getting LTC widespread acceptance is the KEY to opening the door to other alts, and EVERYONE having a seat at the table - if we do not stop it now cryptocurrency will become a monopoly.
I am not much for soap boxing - but I felt this needed to be shared. Do you want a market of cryptocurrencies or a single one? Unless one is pushed into the public now the chance will be GONE. Best.
---edit---
I have about 1000 LTC. Not even worthy of mentioning. I am not an early hoarder of either currency - however I care about the future of my money. Personally I have more fiat value in the Bitcoins I have mined, than the Litecoins.
This is of interest to me because of the corporate takeover of BTC that is happening.
I predicted the Litecoin hate and here it comes pouring into this thread - I posted this because I truly believe that we need to establish a majorly accepted Bitcoin alternative NOW before it is too late.
This is deeply important if you care about what type of cryptocurrency future we have.
SAY NO TO A ONE CURRENCY MONOPOLY.There is mega-corporate attention and takeover of crypto-currency underway, and they are focusing on Bitcoin to do it. An alt (Litecoin IMHO) keeps this a democratized system where the people create money - not a central ASIC authority.
these people are not our friends -
BitInstant Introduces Bain Capital to Bitcoin – Charlie Shrem and Erik Voorhees represented BitInstant (and by extension Bitcoin itself) [to Bain Capital] at the Money 2020 conference in Las Vegas from October 22-24, which focused on emerging and innovative financial services. BitInstant managed to get a booth directly next to that of PayPal, and Charlie Shrem reports that the president of Bain Capital, a firm now famous for its connection to US presidential candidate Mitt Romney, had breakfast with him and Voorhees, and responded very positively to Bitcoin when the two introduced the currency and the Blockchain mobile Bitcoin client to him. - !!!!!!!!! -
https://bitcoinfoundation.org/ - all of you have greed making you blind.
These self appointed corporate saviors do NOT speak for a lot of us.
Litecoin FIRST opens the way for more alts later and secures a future OWNED by the people that can STAY anonymous and free. This is what is important to me - not personal profit motive. The fact that all of the haters assume it is about personal profit shows that is WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO THEM!
