Litecoin's future

[tangbori]

I also have the misconception that the performance of litecoin is very poor but recently the sudden upsurge from $50 to $80 makes me have a rethink on litecoin and I believe the future of litecoin is bright.

I like LTC due to fast transfer and less fee as compared to BTC, it had a good future ahead.

I think when more hashpower will be delivered, price will go up.

LTC has been silent for too long
More development is needed

The beauty was slept to long. Let's become a prince to wake it up guys!
And seen like the Prince is coming to the queen. She's waking up.
Let's prepare and welcome Litecoin first target $100

Yes agree, Litecoin has long been stagnant, it needs more improvement. Market still holding trust LTC places in big 10.
Unfortunately because litecoin development is not open source, hopes the developer will bring new idea in next 2018.

In a matter of time if litecoin would not recover and continue to fluctuate then it will hard for it to improve its performance. If another coin arise, also will it affect the trend of litecoins performance. We do not know maybe there is a calm after a storm and we see it flying to the moon. If you are holding it, just have a little patience and have lots of guts.

I do not know in detail litecoin at the moment, but in the future litecoin will definitely be better than now in terms of value, price and sales. we only see the future time to see the development of litecoin.

it's just a third rate coin.. but will follow up as the btc will goes up.

Litecoin has not yet revealed all his potential. I think by the end of the year it will cost about $ 100 and $ 200-300 in 2018.

This is a perfect example of a bitcointalk forum post: some shilling matched with some ignorance. e.g. miners moving litecoin to bitcoin (you can't).

Don't take negative litecoin comments seriously here too if they mention another coin so enthusiastically they're shilling. Only neggers who give valid reasons and don't mention other coins I think have some weight.

My opinion: Litecoin is a great stable coin which started the GPU mining trend so deserves props, it is stagnating though and needs something to make it a talking point again. Their founder is really smart and I agree with most of what he says but he needs to make litecoin a focal point again, it needs some progression, coins can't stand still anymore, BTC Gold/Diamond are good examples of what happens when you don't progress fast enough in this day and age... whether they're good or not they're at least shiny new things.

Litecoin was regarded as silver to Bitcoin. However, its performance is much worse than Bitcoin.

What's your view on Litecoin's future? Will it catch up or continue to underperform?

As a newbie, this is my opinion on why Litecoin has not achieved the status as the silver to bitcoin. The problem with Litecoin is that the demand is not as great as Etherum because it's much difficult to fund and purchase than Etherum. Since Bitcoin and Etherum are the gold standard in being valued as the standard cyrptocurrency, most exchanges and wallets require the purchase of Bitcoin and Etherum first, in order to trade into the other altcoins and NOT Litecoin. Maybe it is the survival of the fittest and eventually only 1 or two of the altcoins will become the standard and thus leaving the third man out, and in this case Litecoin.

What I do like about Litecoin is that it it appears to be more legit and safe but if and when more major companies adopts Bitcoin or Etherum as the standard crypto coin, then Litecoin may fall to the wait side.

To counter the slow performance, Coinbase needs a faster deposit bank verification to accept deposits faster. It takes too long for deposits from your bank to Coinbase to settle. Therefore, the demand for Litecoin is subdued by the limitations of the deposit process.

I'm thinking about transferring my Litecoin to Etherum very soon to capture the strength of Etherum.

I saw a tremendous development of LTC price for the last months,I would say im suprise with its stability and i know it has a lot more to offer so i am holding it for good.

[traderethereum]

although I am not following every update from litecoin dev but I am sure that litecoin price will increase and litecoin itself has a bright future and litecoin have a strong community. and now, the price is good to buy and I want to buy again if I can sell my other coin so I can add more amount for litecoin. I don't know but I have strong feeling for litecoin so far and I hope that it will happen soon.

[Butchick]

Though litecoin have been quite stable in value over tha past few months, i still believe it will soon rise and increase in value. I see potential in litecoin and it is, by far, one of the altcoins that have been doing great in the market; except for some setbacks. I see litecoin as a good choice for long term investment, considering the pacing it possess for growth.

[chekhbtc]

I believe LTC will try to improve in 2018 much faster and as a consequence it will try to have a fight for higher place on CMC. Hope so

[anton.potemkin]

I bought litecoin when it was $10 an i hold 1000 pieces and it gave me a very good income,i will keep holding this coin for me its the most stable coin today in the market.

Hi. When are you going to sell your coins? $100 will make you happy?

[DonFacundo]

I believe LTC will try to improve in 2018 much faster and as a consequence it will try to have a fight for higher place on CMC. Hope so

If that so litecoin price will fast increase in 2018 just like bitcoin but for now the price of litecoin is now $90 this is a good sign for litecoin it will reach $100 in december, I believe in 2018 litecoin price will reach $500.

[veraoktav127]

overall i think altcoin will be hard to compete with bitcoin prices as well as litecoins, but for better prices it depends on the litcoin holders who will decide the fate of the altcoin

[lelecoeg]

Litecoin hitting $1000 dollars would mean it would have a market cap of $50–60 billion. That is certainly achievable if BTC is already in the trillions. But like I told my insiders, I don’t see any future use case for Litecoin. Unlike Ethereum where it created a platform for others to develop on. Litecoin only has fast transactions and lower transaction costs. Other coins also have those features too.

I saw a prediction that said Litecoin will be worth $1000 in 3 years, you can think of that whatever you like but Litecoin does have some potential. Litecoin is always first to implement upgrades and updates before Bitcoin and lets not forget the cheaper tx fees and faster confirmation times as well.

[marriams]

I think it will stay around but it has not the strength for something spectacular.
