Litecoin Accounts For 22% of Total Daily Cryptocurrency Trading Volume - SegWit Effect?
Bitcoin Core’s transaction malleability fix and scaling solution Segregated Witness (SegWit) was activated on Litecoin last week. Since then, Litecoin price massively increased at an exponential rate, due to rising interest from investors and traders.
On May 4, Litecoin briefly accounted for 22 percent of total daily cryptocurrency trading volume, hugely distancing itself from Ethereum. At the time or reporting, Litecoin still remains as the second most traded cryptocurrency in the market, at 15.31 percent of the global cryptocurrency exchange volume.More

Hypothetical question: Now that Litecoin is being recognized as more than just another ALT, where do you all see this going? Does LTC have a chance to rival BTC in the future or will it always be "close but no cigar"?

I'm pretty excited for the Segwit implementation in Litecoin that F2pool will adopt. How active is the LTC community these days?

many times in life we become pretty sure and pretty excited over the prevailing scenario but takes sudden turn and we become silent.

Coinbase adds support for Litecoin as value peaks
With this in mind, litecoin is now the third cryptocurrency to gain the support of Coinbase, after the San-Francisco company recently stated that they no longer identify as a Bitcoin company, but rather as a digital currency company.
The announcement was made through a statement posted on the sites: At Coinbase, our mission is to create an open financial system for the world. We’re paving our path to that goal by creating the most trusted and easiest way to buy/sell digital currency. With the addition of Litecoin, one of the most trusted and popular digital currencies, we are moving one step closer to our goal.
It is very likely that the growth litecoin has recently experienced is the main catalyst behind the decision made by Coinbase. With this in mind, by the end of March, the digital currency exchange received approval from the New York Financial regulator to begin offering exchange services for the digital currency in the state. During the next couple of weeks, Coinbase managed to get their approval in many more regions as well.More

why Litecoin announcement has got only 170 pages on Bitcointalk and for example Dash over 6.000???
ok Litecoin was "sleeping" for years but the difference is so big...

All we need is now a bit more growth of value and you'll see how this will affect the comments here in this topic too.

Slight drop to $28 today but starting to lift again. Its expected to rally to $40 so definitely a buy while it stays under $30 which wont be long but was good to add some more to the portfolio before it does

What do you guys think of the price after segwit activation?

What do you guys think of the price after segwit activation?

I want to say $100 but I think that will not be possible so, I will go with around $50. What do you think?

[worthy1]

looks like only .2% to go?

I cant believe more arent buying at $26-$28 before the boom!

[worthy1]

Actually make that $25. It wont get any lower so if your thinking of buying, do it now!!

Buy Buy Buy!

Nothing changed about Litecoin as this still is Chinese baby and will be next big thing. We can explain in many different ways current market situation but potential of growing for Litecoin is still very high. People talking about possible increase still are positive on different channels so it is up to you stay or cash out. I am still in Litecoin for another period.

absolutely, the minor drop is because of Bitcoins growth. Always happens, bitcoin boosts, other coins shake before recovering.

The shake drop combined with the boom segwit will give it is a no brainer for people to buy whilst its $25 again. It wont go lower but it will def go HIGHER!

Buy the rumor sell the news. 

[worthy1]

Well its already on its way back up. Still time to catch it before it hits the $30 mark again and beyond....

[coinsmarkets]

yes LTC is expected in the high 4x range, so i am all in LTC now

[worthy1]

Good idea!

Its back up to the 30 after Bitcoins high yesterday but even that is good value for the expected rise for all those that missed the dip yesterday to buy more.

UP UP AND AWAY!!
