I would like to stay with bitcoin as I trade with it, but currently I mine Litecoins and the reason why this question came up is because of all the economic advantages I heard about FTC. So as a short term investment, I find that LTC and FTC are both quite attractive you know?
For example, if LTC goes up to $10 each, I would have experienced a profit gain of 500%, and if FTC goes up to say... $1 the gain would be significant. I am just wanting to know out of the two currencies, which would sound better and if possible, why.
first of all let me say this. scrypt coins are a suckers bet in the long term. no digital process can be designed that cannot be completed faster/better/cheaper on customer hardware. Once prices rise on to an attractive point - someone's going to get around to making an asic or fpga and the entire alt-coin goes tits up.
That being said: If you're mining ltc - you shouldn't be buying more of it. Either hold it as an 'investment' (which is moronic imo) or sell it for btc as fast as you mine it. It's going nowhere long term and well fail completely if it ever becomes worth anything or ( once bitcoin is mostly asic based) the bitcoin devs get around to shortening the block generation time (and this has to happen to make bitcoin usable for POS applications in the real world).
