Litecoin

[Makka]

We soon have Bitcoin with SegWit and Bitcoin Cash just debuted this week with 8 MB block size.

Whats the future and the use of Litecoin at current? I'm expecting Bitcoin Cash to get support and functionality within the coming months that Litecoin never managed in its ~8 years of life.

Why are people still investing into Litecoin?

Why is there necessary comparison between Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin? First, Bitcoin Cash is poised presumably to be the replacement of Bitcoin. It failed. It will continue to fail. And right now, it is Litecoin that is being tried to dethrone with Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash needs to be its own brand and use without resorting to compare others. LTC has been here for a long while and has built a reputation already. BCH has yet to achieve that.

Invest in Litecoin when everyone believes that this coin is dead and worth less than $ 5 will be less in the future and will be a testnet for future updates and will be fine.

LTC Hashrate has doubled in the last month, I wonder what that will do to the price?

litecoin will be grow soon and I am sure the price will be follow too. many people is underestimated with litecoin but I think litecoin have a great support and community and we see what is happen with litecoin bitcoin price is increase. litecoin is trying to reach new price like other coins and I think its worth to invest our money with litecoin too.

Stick a fork in litecoin. BCH is going to eat its lunch. It might maintain its current value or bounce between $40 and $50 for a while, but its going to slowly bleed going forward. I expect no more big upward price movements in LTC. Charlie's positioning of LTC relative to BTC doesn't help. He needed something more aggressive than burgers and fries, litecoin is boring or the usual "silver and gold". The BCH people want the litecoin investors and they are FUDing LTC bad in China.

People on forums won't be able to tell you the future of a crypto and that includes litecoin. People thought it was dead for years and it's alive and well. People will continue to tell you its dead.

Read about its technology, watch exchange volumes over time, and take note of what countries are gaining or losing in volume and make your own determination.

My opinion is that if the developer base is stable and moving the coin around is cheap and fast, until another coin beats it at this game without top-down power struggles its not going to go anywhere.

The people still investing into litecoin because they are looking for short profit from fluctuating of litecoin
they are ignore about fundamental aspects that you are talking about now,
the other reason they are speculating into litecoin it is just activity makes money, if there are something wrong with litecoin
or any other related with litecoin they will do cut lost and keeps investing in other altcoins.

Litecoin is still a pretty good coin after Bitcion and Ethereum. People say its dead and has no future but it shows its potential by being in the top 10 ranks on coinmarketcap.
It has been idle from many days and is going through short fluctuations but has not been fluctuating highly and i guess thats the reason people think that its dead. If it would have been dead then why would it be on the top 10 coins. There are people who still believe in it and buy it. It is still a potential coin and may rise up in future

Litecoin still being strong these days and being adopted by traders. Yes some said its already dead but I must say its not dead because until now it is still active in the market. Moreover, Im hodling this coin until now and I believe I can earn profit in the long run.

Hy I want to ask something, does Litecoin also ever feel SegWit?
And does SegWit impact on each altcoin the same as SegWit in Bitcoin that will create a better new altcoin (in terms of transactions and fees)

[kelnel]

Litecoin seems to be looking up ( a little bit). Gives us room to breath a little. Much welcome.

[Lillian89]

Do not because the LTC price drops but sell it please trust the LTC it will pump strongly in the coming time

[Jeger.Kiting]

I think LTC will soon rise up after they fall asleep at that time, because I believe LTC still has good quality in their trading, maybe little by little they will see to start the movement there, so let's see how they show good quality in Trading . .

I heard that Litecoin price rose to a record $64 following a surge in trading volume on South Korean and Chinese exchanges yesterday. Of course, another factor behind is SegWit. So many analysts are looking for futher growth.

[aoluain]

Well bitcoin just hit $4600 on bittrex so Litecoin will follow upwards a bit.
I actually think BCH will be healthy for a time then fall off a bit especially
As and when bitcoin gains more activity and growth and all the time litecoin following.

Interesting that the OP started a thread titled Litecoin to promote Bitcoin Cash. Even after all these years altcoins still are compared to the original successful altcoin.

Also interesting that Bitcoin Cash adopted a blocksize to give it similar transactional capacity to Litecoin. Even bitcoin in adopting segwit has become more like Litecoin. It's great that LTC is taking a leadership role and showing the direction to go. Unfortunately these are half measures in an attempt to be more like Litecoin.

Meanwhile Bitcoin Cash price dropping as people comprehend the magnitude of Emergency Difficulty Adjustment bug. You would think a simple blocksize increase wouldn't have been difficult to pull off.

Unfortunately, the EDA bug is currently unfixable because it requires miners to adopt a new version of software during a hardfork. Why would they adopt the new version when it's not to their advantage? The only way to solve the problem is a large increase or decrease in price. Likely, a large decrease will happen. Why would it increase when the developers of Bitcoin Cash have proven a level of incompetency by programming this bug in the first place?

Things may settle down once the price drops extremely low for a prolonged period of time. Until then hugh swings in hashrate will continue.

Let's hope that LTC will rise and shine in the future ) Low fee's, fast network.. what would you want more?

[JohnDoe3490]

Will there be a pump when Asia wakes up?

[maeusi]

With LTC it is the same as with other well known cryptocurrencies. Just put it into your portfolio and hold it on longterm. At beginning of this year LTC was at 3$. Look, where it is now.

I like Litecoin because of the fast confirmation times and because it is a
veteran. Second crypto as far as I know.
Plus, it's one of the most profitable coins to be mined!
