Race to 100 USD Poll: XMR vs LTC

[cryptimus prime]

It is interesting to see the development on Github and number of commits, here BTC, LTC and Monero are leading the field. The LTC developers mostly take the code from BTC so their development commits are similar to those of BTC, Monero on the other hand can not do that and have own development which is only a little bit behind that of BTC.

This shows how healthy and fundamentally strong the XMR project is.

I think for now it all depends to the news, in normal conditions litecoin is more floating coin.

[tokeweed]

Wow it looks like XMR is getting the upper hand right now.  Does anybody know what's going on with it?  I've heard and read that there's a hedge fund investing in XMR?  I haven't looked into it yet to make a comment.

I vote for LTC, Litecoin has many supporters like south korea. has a lightning fast transaction and good to use it everywhere.

[denk0815]

I`ve voted for XMR.
Code seems more developed and there are some nice improvements one the roadmap like Fluffy Blocks and Kovri.

[deadsilent]

Definitely Litecoin(LTC). I don't trust Monero(XMR) at all. Recently they release fake announcement which makes me fall for it. They are dirty. I lose a lot of money from that. Actually i don't like these two altcoins. But only one choice left. Im more on Ethereum(ETH). Litecoin will go first at $100. We'll see that soon.

+2 bn for a test network of Bitcoin seems expensive, I'll put my money on XMR

[thangoffshore]

I voted for LTC.

Actually I've invested in cloud mining of both XMR and LTC, but after sometimes I allocated all into LTC.

XMR/BTC is decreasing day by day. XMR/USD sometimes increased only because btc was raising.
LTC/BTC increased enough this year
I am sure ltc till have a potential to go up. But i can not say same thing for XMR. even during bull time this year, the price was so stable. Investors do not trust ,n XMR anymore...

Why do you think so?
BTC-e and Bitmixer are down, i see a huge increase of demand in near future.

[European Central Bank]

maybe btc-e and the end of bitmixer while shine a light on xmr. bitcoin getting segwit will take some of the light away from litecoin.

[tokeweed]

^ That could happen.  Sooner or later the market will know that Monero is to 'go to' cryptocurrency for privacy and fungibility, if that matters for the kind of payments that you do. 

[redhorse]

They will climb together and it will be close - but my bet is that Monero makes it in the end.

[tokeweed]

So far both cryptocurrencies are in the same price range again.  a few days a go I thought XMR would start breaking out and leave LTC in the dust, only to have a group of whales selling it down and keeping the price low (at least that's what I think that's happening).  It's a time of accumulation for both, let's see who starts pumping first.  The one who does could be the winner.

[puremage111]

XMR first, will follow by LTC

the reason why is because if we look at the previous crypto industry pump, before ripple, ltc, nxt, xem pumped, monero is the first which jumped by few multiplier

Although i dont know much about XMR, But LTC Is fork of btc with changes, XMR seems to be a good privacy coin IIRC i read at somewhere in bttalk

[orange32]

Looking at the marketcap, for each $1 Monero increases its cap, Litecoin must increase by $3.40 just to keep up in a race to $100 pr coin.

Given that I vote Monero as I can't make up my mind based on my very limited knowledge on other relevant factors to consider.

[Zicadis]

From the looks of it i honestly think Monero (XMR) will break out first mainly because of its privacy capabilities which makes it more likely to be demanded for than Litecoin (LTC)  in spite LTC showing to be valued approximately a dollar higher atm.

[thangoffshore]

XMR was very close to $100 yesterday, about $95. It went down a bit but still much closer to $100 than LTC.

Hope to see the winner in the September.

[pey]

It does not matter, they have different supply and you are comparing its prices. Litecoin needs extra 2 billion to reach $100 and it was $4 months ago. Monero is very stable in the long term.

Monero definitely will worth much more in coming years, and 100$ is really nothing. Best would be to store it and forget about it. LTC is also one of my favorites and i believe it can go up 10x up, so better arms yourself with patience.
