[ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched!

[stokholminfinity]

Happy 9th birthday Litecoin!  

I'm a little late, but i can't miss to wish a borderless payment solution. Personally i give first priority to 3 cryptocurrencies for sending borderless payment. That's BTC, LTC, USDT.

Yes i meant litecointalk : https://litecointalk.io/
I took a look there and seems mining board isn't active too. This is strange!

I see litecoin Forum for first time. But, not too Active.

LTC is one of the most popular coins for transfers between exchanges and users. This is due to the low fees and fast transaction speed. The coin is still very popular with miners and is in demand on the market.

Litecoin is 9 years old, a coin that was born after bitcoin and thrives to this day. I am also very interested in this coin but I don't pay attention to the operation of this litecointalk forum.

That's awesome news! Is there a guide anywhere on how to get started swapping BTC/LTC?

I've been getting messages that the Litecoin Blockchain Card is available. This is directly linked through the below links in order off of the Litecoin Foundation site.

(See below links..follow the links below to get to the announcement)

The Litecoin Foundation has announced, with global fintech company Ternio, the rolling out its latest white-label card with the Litecoin Foundation. The Litecoin Card is a crypto debit card, allowing users to load it with Litecoin and spend it at one of over 50 million merchants worldwide

unquote.

OK...so the catch is, I keep getting emails (not SPAM I asked to be informed) saying that I CAN now use the service. Yet when I get into the service it says

it is not available yet. This is in the USA. So anyone else have any luck, or is this just some kinda 'glitch' to keep me in spam suspense until they release

this Litecoin Blockchain Card by Ternio? I mean one or two is fine..but probably have gotten 5 ploddings to update my account to use such...and again

account says 'coming soon!'

Thanks

Litecoin is moving, surge up to 20% last 7 days. Litecoin is not a stable rising coin though, it will doubtlessly bear. It really good for a short-term investment.
I'm hoping litecoin makes some more moves from here shortly! What your thoughts?

No coin is a stable rising coin. Look at the history, the price is all over the place for every single one.

Good for short term investment? You're kidding, right? It just shot up 20%. The odds are against you for another round of short term profits. More likely it will lose a few % in the next week.

Long term, looks fine to me... HODL!

I got a kick out of the above. Litecoin passes Bitcoin Cash In Crypto Rankings. Nine-month highs is also just dandy as well!

As you can see here https://coinmarketcap.com/ even Chainlink has passed Bitcoin Cash in the market cap rankings as well!

I've always been confused on WHY the BCH and BCS sh*tcoins are up to 3x to 4x the price of Litecoin. I mean really, Craig Wright's Sh*tcoin

BSV is at least 2x as high as Litecoin even today!

By the by, does anyone have any 'news' on why Litecoin is on a tear now...in the last few days? Or is it simply the usual Litecoin is playing

catchup to the Bitcoin Price and, of course, the PayPal addition of Litecoin...maybe...just lagging a bit before this latest pump?

Anyway, at an $85 buck 'floor' on the Litecoin I bought at a 'low' (sigh) on my 'previous' view of a pump...I'll be even... let's hope I don't
 
jinx it again, on the same LTC hope/pump this time around as well!

right now every crypto in top ranking is bullish now and price are going up again BTC eth litcoin almost breaking records again
but litecoin price could break through 100$ if the everything going bullish
tokens are struggling right now still but i hope crytpo will be our future and its already started

Whole market are struggling at this moment. Black Friday is coming, so I guess it gives us opportunity to get Litecoin at this low. Somehow, litecoin could not break 100$ but really closed to touch. Anyway, what's your opinion about the price of LTC to the new year?

From my observation that sale is over now as the whole market is showing some recovery today. Hopefully soon it will get succeed to break that big level and will be there. It is good time to accumulate even a little would come but it doesn't sign of worry.

Well, what do folks on this Litecoin thread think of the coinbase CEO's rumor of BTC/crypto regulations requiring exchanges to know the ins/outs of KYC for not only an account but you prove? somehow

your paper wallet or Trezor or whatever and keep  track of all addresses in/out with KYC? (I assume that is the crux of this stupid supposed regulation? Correct me if that is a few steps beyond what it is really)

indeed..impossible indeed..it would be the same thing as China tried to do more than a few years back and all the China exchanges just picked up and left...then views changed and all came backM

Indeed, I can easily go to an exchange in Canada and use KYC and skip the entirety of the above regulation....I assume this is just another 'burnt earth' policy of dubious regulations

left by the Trump Administration to make things difficult for the incoming Biden Administration and will..if implemented by Trump Administration would be overturned promptly. (knock wood)

But, indeed, IF such a rule was made...Mimblewimble would be soooooo beyond dead in the water for Litecoin as to be 'undo'able' IMHO even if all the exchanges did leave the USA for

What do you think?

Not a slam, just saying, if it stands, the next shot would be against Mimblewimble and anon coins IMHO. Again, I can't see it working..in that it is a USA law only, but damn I can see it slapping the price

of BTC/Crypto down to sideways or much lower sideways on the next year into 2021 as this is addressed by Biden Administration and threats of US exchanges bailing out of the USA ASAP.

Anyway, thoughts on how you think this all will shake out? I myself would be my own money that Trump Administration, like Coinbase CEO says, will do this rule before Biden Administration takes over.

Likely, with a 'timeline' impossible to do by say Jan 1st, 2021. Sh*t, this will be quite the clusterf**k...I hope I'm dead wrong, but dubious Trump Administration rules seem to be the way of things till

Biden Administration takes over, so I hope not in this case...but with all our success this year, we would be a likely target of such idiocy IMHO.

Again, beat me up, give me some hope, say I'm wrong on my view it will go through and will get fixed by Biden Administration eventually but making 2021 more uncomfortable than it otherwise would

be price/regulation wise.

BTC/Crypto/LTC always drama!

I am also a fan of Litecoin and I see how many people are worried about its price. Well what can I say? I believe that Litecoin will need to reach its previous peak in price and go higher. The only question is when will it happen? I believe that we are at the beginning of the altseason and should see the rise of top altcoins soon. Perhaps not everyone will get the desired result, but this definitely must happen, since in 2021 we will enter the brutal stage of the next cycle of the crypto market development, which has always resulted in a flight to the moon.

No, but if regulations come along to micromanage exchanges on in/out by address and KYC..what chance does Mimblewimble have to be allowed

by the powers that be? Indeed, I keep expecting a ban on anon blockchains....perhaps I'm too harsh...but...there is always pushback when we

are close to ATH and/or FOMO IMHO by some regulation or govt attempt to centralize stuff...how successful they are is debatable.

Just wool-gathering here, but seems a lot of stuff in play with anonymous blockchain concerns and just about that time every couple of years where

a mess of really stupid crypto controls are attempted by many to be put in place...sure they are likely to be modified and slapped down. But 'supposedly'

these govt studies always think they can control decentralized coins much more than is possible. It is like each attempt they forget everything they

learned that did not work from previous attempts and simply go with the heavy-handed approach of ban or some other silliness.

whatever, I see a new crop of this kinda FUD on the horizon the bigger the FOMO the bigger the FUD from what I've seen in the past.

right now should net be worried about the price because its going up day by day and the people who bought under 50$ and still holding. those trader have some serious profit gain.
it could touch 80$ easy if the bull run continue. altcoin session is still not yet started because of BTC bull run but i think BTC price will stay where its right now and positive impact on altcoin is going to happen.

LTC has now more better chance to show rapid growth because the overall sentiments are in favor crypto market. LTC always following the foot step of the big brother and big whales are accumulating at current price so they can push it towards next level. There is high chance to make good profit.

I'm in serious dilemma whether wait for LTC to break or convert into Bitcoin. BTC is about to break ATH so I think it would be a good idea move into BTC so you can get more profit. Overall LTC is not too bad if you consider it for long term then keep on building up your LTC.

i think its not a good idead to convert your LTC in BTC. if BTC cross ATH high value then obviously LTC as an alt coin go up and look at the price of btc you can not earn more profit from btc but from LTC there is huge chances of great profit. one more thing alt always come in second position so wait for btc cross its ATH then bullrun comes for the alt

[Searing]

Market trends likely boost Litecoin even more further so is there any have chance to make entries for short? Whether it happens or not, market is pretty green and that’s a very good thing.

So what is going on with the uptick in the price? I mean after years is Litecoin finally yet again acting like Silver to Bitcoin's gold? Looking at

www.coinmarketcap.com of as I type this (see the msg time stamp on this post) of $107.88 and Litecoin up a frigging 44.23% in the last week

compared to Bitcoin being up in comparison only 26.05%, again, as I type this here. Holy Moly..what is going on?

it seems to me like something is going on. They have been talking about Mimblewimble for months, and indeed if the USA implements the need for self-hosting

wallets at a minimum declaring themselves with Know Your Customer (KYC) ..even if it is just for xfer of BTC/Crypto into USD

from within a USA exchange, as an added KYC...that can't be helping the Litecoin price IMHO much under such a likelihood.

Is it that Bitcoin has finally gotten to spendy and newbies and past HODL'ers of Litecoin have come back into the fold? Maybe?

Add to the above PayPal as an option, a newbie could say, man, I could get a lot of Litecoin actual vs the BTC dust for the same USD..and going that way?

I like it, I don't understand it, because as usual, I can't find out any noise on why Litecoin has been pumping.

So for now going with the PayPal angle and known old and new word of mouth of Litecoin acting like the Silver to Gold analogy..at least presently.

But I like to hear 'something' in the way of 'something' gossip wise when a cryptocurrency just takes off..not seeing it here.

So good to see, but anyone got anything? I'm utterly befuddled...the above stuff I mention just does not seem to cut it on the massive price rise.
