[LTC] Litecoin future in 2018

[stayeduptolate]

What do you guys think about the future of Litecoin in 2018?

I think that litecoin is one of the better projects available in the market and it is one of those coins which will surely grow in the future. Litecoin is known for its lightning quick transactions as it is almost 4 times faster than Bitcoin. the fees for transactions is also very low which makes it more usable than Bitcoin.
The team of the project is also very very strong which is another factor you should consider for investing in litecoin. You can easily expect litecoin to cross the 1500$ mark by the end of this year for sure.

Despite the possible increase in the price of the cryptocurrency should not hurry with investments in Litecoin. To invest all his savings in "silver" rather risky.

It looks like Litecoin is being used instead of bitcoin in a number of areas.

Cryptobuyer (a Venezuelan ATM provider) has just announced it is dropping bitcoin and enabling Litecoin and Dash:

https://blog.cryptobuyer.io/en/lo-sentimos-bitcoin-bienvenido-litecoin-y-dash/

Unfortunately in recent months Bitcoin has suffered a serious scalability problem as the number of operations worldwide multiplies, making the network less efficient, slower and therefore more expensive to transact. It is precisely in countries like Venezuela, where the minimum salary of a person is equivalent to 3 USD, where this problem becomes more evident, sending a transaction of 1 USD in Bitcoin can cost 30 USD in commissions, this makes any type of operation unviable.

For these reasons, after an exchange of ideas and much to our regret, we have decided to suspend Bitcoin operations as of February 1 on our web platform www.cryptobuyer.io as well as in our ATM network.

This action will be maintained until the Bitcoin network shows maturity and stability on its operations, as well as cheaper transactions fees, we do not believe in half solutions and we continue betting on the initial guidelines and definitions of Satoshi Nakamoto: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

As a counterpart we are very happy with the integration of two new digital currencies: Litecoin and Dash

a coin with solid foundation. comes from china. I think it's good to grow in 2018. It can reach $ 1000-1500 by 2018. LTC is like a silver bitcoin

Thanks for the 2 links!
Yes Litecoin is and should be used more and more in the future.
It has so much going for it but for some reason doesnt enjoy the fiat value it should.

Quote from the link says it all

Stability on its price, super cheap transactions and freely exchangeable make it one of the most used cryptocurrencies for micropayments.

For what made you think that ltc grow and reach to that much value. Even in last year also not any bump like that to prove your expected value become true this year.
I find including bitcoin all the crypto currencies dumped in the market.
We need all coins recovered first and with in some months after that we may be possible.

[KeithBeeCham]

Maybe in this year LTC will be the same with last year, increased more than 8000%. LOL. It'll be good news for LTC holders and there will be one more candidate for the position king of cryptocurrency after ETH and BTC ). Maybe soon LTC and ETH will replace Bitcoin cause for now Bitcoin transaction is taking really much time to complete but it's different when you make any transaction with LTC and ETH

It is a crypto currency that has huge potential. In 2018 it will be increasing rapidly. Ltc has great potential and future that it will be hit 1k very soon. If any one wants to make profit from ltc, it is the right time for buying. Buy hand hold for high price of it.

Litecoin is gaining merchant adoption in South Korea, which could be bullish for the coin if people choose to use it:

One of the largest e-commerce platforms in South Korea has just announced plans to add support for 12 cryptocurrencies. One of these is Litecoin.

Wemakeprice Inc., commonly known as Wemepu in the country, is an online seller of goods and services. It is engaged in e-commerce and also sells software development and online marketing services.

The Seoul-based company has revealed that it is in talks with one of South Korea’s largest exchanges, Bithumb, to add support for cryptocurrencies. The company would start accepting payments in a dozen cryptocurrencies including Litecoin, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

Here’s what a company spokesperson had to say:

“Integrating cryptocurrencies is a part of our initiative to make payments more convenient for our consumers and clients. We consider mobile fintech apps, points, and cryptocurrencies as efficient payment methods.”

I think it has bright future but at the same time i think its value will also be linked to btc, if btc does well in the rest of the year ltc will also follow, at the moment market is in a bearish tone, lets hope it will reverse soon.

For a long time I wanted to add Litecoin to my portfolio. I did not have time to buy it to the previous high. Now is the time to buy. A very good coin.

[Jarx]

Unfortunately we had no big news about the Litecoin, about a half of a year ago that coin been really popular but now I hear about the Litecoin not too often.

[MartiniBlanco]

So I think that Litecoin will have a great time in 2018, we will see some dips before before we re going to rise again in the price. I think it depends on Bitcoin where we are going. But I think the bottom for Bitcoin is near

Litecoin is going to be big this year. many big things coming up one of them is already up the litepay announced a few days ago. LitePay is great for merchants who want to accept Litecoin. Amazon is adopting litecoin(most probably). Crypto's are only going more and more mainstream this year.

We've had loads of big news about litecoin. There has been new merchant adoption practically every day, plus announcement of payment processors like Litepay:

I can say that it is suitable for investing because it has solid prosperity for ltc and I guess it will be 2x in the second half of this year

[DiceChain]

Litecoin has a huge potential in 2018. But it is not the future of 2018. There are a lot of pennies competing with Litecoin. But I still think Litecoin is one of the best coin ever. I can guess its price will be around 1000$. If bitcoin is back up to 20000$

This post is opened in december and litecoin price increased too much since then
I think price of Litecoin will be highly affected by bitcoin price and real time usage of Litecoin. Some websites are preparing accepting Litecoin as a payment method. If this happens price will soar.
There is also a battle between Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin, I am sure Roger Ver have some instruments fighting Litecoin and we will see how this will affect the market.
And finally, if Bitcoin transforms into lightning network and its real time usage is succesful, this may affect Litecoin negative.
