Is Litecoin dead? What's happening?

[mcnocon2]

Not really, Litecoin is not dead. I would say that they are just preparing for something big. This is the status of all projects, there must be some ups and downs along the way and the most important thing is you keep on developing your product and gain partnerships for long term plan.

[fright]

Can LTC/BTC ratio ever hit .05 again? Or atleast .04?

[prtty2gal2]

Funny thing is that this is the same way people were saying that it is over for Bitcoin, because they thought Bitcoin was dying in the year 2017, but that was the same year that we had the same biggest bull run ever in cryptocurrency. So what if Litecoin is about doing something like that. Cause I’m very sure of one thing that Litecoin (LTC) is not going to die, that’s one of the strongest coins in the crypto world and it had been around for a very long time now, so how do you expect such a thing to happen. You should just have patience and try to do proper research, some sites can be deceiving.

I will pump good with all the market, even now it shows strenght and good position, i dont worry about the price, but if you use LTC for transactions you can notice that LTC became very slow, it is really slow, even ETH is much more faster, my transaction was pending more than 6 hours. It is a very bad signal for LTC..

LTFN / Litecoin Finance soon be updated to 0.18 ver of btc

we dont hv Litecoin problem

about litecoin i know now why they stop working.
How we know bitcoin is release 0.18 ver wallet , but this wallet hv a one litle change.

utilstrencodings.cpp
utilstrencodings.h

rename to
strencodings.cpp
strencodings.h
and moved to src/util/

they separate utils to own folder.

But the nessesary change this

they remove this code

#define BEGIN(a)            ((char*)&(a))
#define END(a)              ((char*)&((&(a))[1]))
#define UBEGIN(a)           ((unsigned char*)&(a))
#define UEND(a)             ((unsigned char*)&((&(a))[1]))
#define ARRAYLEN(array)     (sizeof(array)/sizeof((array)[0]))

from strencodings.h

and now see what scrypt use for init)

uint256 CBlockHeader::GetHash() const
{
    return SerializeHash(*this);
}

uint256 CBlockHeader::GetPoWHash() const
{
    uint256 thash;
    scrypt_1024_1_1_256(BEGIN(nVersion), BEGIN(thash));
    return thash;
}

Its so simple solution , omg , why ltc team stuck at it , if not stuck why they stop update after this , where answer ?

That's why Litecoin Finance is the best option for all. Have any questions ask.

Litecoin, dead? Are you joking? Litecoin is very much alive and kicking. And it has just pumped really hard. There will be some retracement and corrections that follow of course. That is something inevitable, and you will add to it the fact that Bitcoin is again very bullish thereby affecting the altcoins move upward. But dead? Never. Litecoin is top 5, my friend.

No obviously not. It's because bitcoin's been rallying for the past weeks and most of the alts are down not only ltc. Just like people saying btc is dead last year and now they've become moon boys again. Ltc is one of the top coins in cmc so you don't need to be afraid of your investments on that coin.

Even though the price of litecoin has fall againts bitcoin in last several days, but compared to the initial price of 2019, the price of litecoin has risen by more than 300%. I think Litecoin is a good investment besides ethereum and bitcoin because Litecoin still has potential to rise in the price again after halving

Litecoin still stay at this position that above 115 and that looks good to see that even bitcoin is increasing more and more but litecoin still can stay at the same place without loosing a lot of value in the bitcoin term or pair. the card update has already released and that was a huge update.

Not really and far from it. And if you bought Ltc during the bear market, surely you would have a massive ROI. I definitely regret not buying Ltc at 25 usd because i bought another alt coins and tokens. I think litecoin will hit at 300 usd this year and I would at least buy some if i have a budget this month.

[94K]

No. Litecoin isn't dead. Litecoin is still in a great position to be one of the top leading altcoins after ethereum. This is the time to buy litecoin and hold it for sometime until things get better.

[igor.vanyutin.83]

I haven't heard much about LTC for ages, science they did rebranding, but I hope things are going to improve. Generally, I am not hearing about any altcoin from top 20 much, so I believe that more news will come in the future.

[Abdul amir]

I do not think this phase of market is for altcoins. It is better to exchange litecoin to bitcoin or just to hold some stable currency like USDT.

I mentioned stable coins as you can see BTC is also have a pull back.

[2girls]

You are right to keep the LTC, I believe that this year the coin will grow in price. In the summer we will reduce the reward for the extracted blocks, and by the end of the year the project will undergo many changes, as promised by Charlie Lee. I think this will cause significant growth.

Due to litecoin halving event i am sure litecoin will pump. But due to altcoin bear market it may not have that much effect but still it is safe to but LTC now and get reasonable profit in few months time.

It seems that this is contrary to your thinking since LTC is currently only $55 and you will have the opportunity to invest again if you still like this coin. I think this coin can still increase well by the end of this year and the market will soon return to the most stable period so please consider investing. This market gives us a lot of great opportunities and a big drop over the past few days is a great opportunity for you to buy cheap LTC.

I don't know why you think like that but I think litecoin is fine and not going to die any time soon. Even the article you posted says that LTC seeks ways to improve its protocol by implementing MimbleWimble.

LTC has some solid userbase/holders. If something bad happens to btc, my second choice would be ltc.

I agree that the Litecoin has a good community, but in recent months the dynamics of the price movement on the market with this coin is not at all happy. ;(

[cutesgirl]

Litecoin, for all I know, aspired to be the "fast cryptocurrency that big corporations like Amazon were going to start using". As of today... I feel like Litecoin is essentially dying  I hold quite a good amount of LTC and really don't know what to do with it...

Thoughts?

Edit; I found this nice article that summarizes what LTC has been up to but idk how I feel about this...: https://cryptotradernews.com/cryptocurrency/whats-happening-with-litecoin/

Litecoin is not dead because till have higher price until today, just have lower price the same with other top altcoin and litecoin have lower price today, many coin drop after bitcoin have lower price and usually for altcoin price depend with bitcoin, how ever litecoin still profitable with higher price now and litecoin still on the top rank with coinmaretcap under ethereum and ripple coins.

[ivan1975]

I think Litecoin is not dead, it's developing.
The last thing I heard is planning to add anonymous features, such as MimbleWimble protocol integration.

[dentolas]

I am also feeling it.... LTC was really promising and I also hold a few... but lately it feels that it is slowly dying out...
Price doesn't react and there are no particular news that make me smile...
Have been thinking about it, but can't get to a conclusion about the causes for this...
will hold at least until alt season...
