That's all you get on this thread about Litecoin until summer arrives
We never get much news.... so true...
I actually thought this coin had died already and only bagholders were left keeping it on number 3.
Hmm,
A coin is only dead, when this condition is filled:
When no more investments are made into producing more of it e.g. the item is no longer desirable or it is inherently foolish in making more of it
Litecoin has 95% of scrypt algorithm mining investments. Therefore, everyone wants to make more Litecoins and people want to collect more Litecoins
In terms of price speculation, as an Economic Coin get's older (more accurately, more coins exist) it become more difficult to fictitiously pump up the price and dump it afterwards leaving Newbie Investors as net losers in swaps/trades
This is to say: an economic coin becomes resistant to "major speculators" using baloney and bulsh*t to push up the price
Only new alts allow this, with their ultra low quantities of coins and low valuations.
In Fiat Currency Sector, major speculators have resorted to market rigging and debt vehicles to overcome this decline in their opportunities to fleece the Newbie Investor. You can't do this with crypto currencies, because their is no debt system and lot's people are investing for the Long Term.
Upwards movements in price become (over time) pegged to important events or changes in the fundamentals prarameters or new productive outcomes
Litecoin is perfectly alive
