Can Litecoin hold the #2 spot? Doubtful..and here are the coins who will benefit

accept both BTC and LTC will succeed.

why? because you're invested in both?

This thread is some bullshit. Litcoin is not going anywhere. In fact, I hope it stays in the $10-$15 range as it will be viewed as the blue collar currency.

Yes all cryptocurrencies are more useable as currency if they are stable, not all of us judge the success of a crypto based on its 'price' v USD.

My problem with Litecoin is the self-serving subservience. When needed they just use Bitcoin in the same sentence to justify a position which has no literal connection or sense.

That is the self made "little brother"/"sister currency" fallacy used to impress on newbies.

When and if China's Willy and Marcus go solvent and pull a Gox, there won't be a recovery for Litecoin like there was for Bitcoin.  And the dudes running the exchanges in China really won't care.  They will be rich and they won't have legal repercussions because they haven't broke Chinese law.  The will keep your bitcoin and tell you that somehow a glitch in the system ate all your Litecoin.  Everytime I am in any exchange based out of China, I get in and out as soon as quickly as possible.  

Yes I expect that is what Bobby Lee, CEO of BTCChina plans, brother of Charlie Lee. Wonder what his fellow Bitcoin Foundation members would think.

No, like everything in life I have done my research.

Don't comment until you have read it and have something constructive to say.

dunno about that, I think u'll find such laws a tad more stronger in china and the penalties a tad harsher.

Good, then BTC and LTC will surely succeed!

But did you read the link I posted, here it is again in case you missed it.

Why will BTC succeed over LTC? Why can there not be 2 coins? I am all ears. If LTC is going to crash and burn and you have no interest in it, why the FUD? What are you worried about. I guess you are only in BTC

Oh, the link is great!

I never said there cannot be 2 coins. In fact I am sure there will be a few coins. But not necessarily BTC and LTC.

Hi,
Why you are not putting XPM ( primecoin) in this list? It is great coin from 2012 and still surviving. It has really big potential. It helps the science a lot read more at:

Hope i can help. If you need some answer to any question related to XPM please PM

Nobody cares about science, only profit. Or profitable science, which looking for prime numbers is not

Let me get this straight. You think LTC will survive because... it has faster confirmation times than BTC??

I get it. LTC is dead and you are mocking it.

Cinnicoin, Blackcoin, Silkcoin, NXT, Cryptcoin and a dozen other coins have more innovation in their pinky finger than all of Litecoin. (Along with faster confirmation times) Heck, even Piggycoin has a better raison d'etre than Litecoin.

Sorry, but after five months of not hearing a single defence of Litecoin, seeing a message thread like that just confirms that Litecoin belongs in the Necromicon. Are LTC'ers not paying any attention whatsoever to the innovation around them?

Uh, FTFY.

Don't get me wrong, I love Primecoin (I still have a bunch after mining during the launch weeks). The primary downside in terms of mining is how it quickly got swarmed by CPU hash clouds and farms after the opening few weeks.

On your other point, it's usefulness is a slight bit limited. After all, Primecoin's scope is for Cunningham chains. Note, that I'm not saying it's "useless," rather that it is significantly limited.

This thread has given me a really good laugh.

I will say as a counterpoint that LTC has more established infrastructure in it's pinky finger than all of those other coins you quote. And regarding ASICs, why do you think it was being worked on for over the last year and a half? Clearly because of DOGE right?

Sure its primary reason for existence was to be an alt that provided resistance to GPU/FPGA/ASIC (kinda going hand-in-hand with the idea of being the silver to Bitcoins gold as stated numerous times); and also as a response to the whole Brix situation. But let's face it; that has transformed over the last year and it got solidified when their community decided to embrace the impending ASICs for sCrypt. It's slowly turning its primary use as a secondary secured chain ledger; whether it complements BTC in the long-term is another issue altogether.
