Litecoin is officially dead

[vurasasog]

Litecoin will be here for long time but it wont be like is early days so good, it will be in top 10 coin always but he wont reach that price of 40 dollars again. High for next year in my option will be range 10-15 if this implementation with segwit comes with good end but if not then i expect that price goes in 2-3 dollars range and to stay in that field until next halving

If the litecoin does not offer more functions than the bitcoin, it will not be top 10 for long.

yeah

and I'm damn sick of seeing btc pump and ltc at the sideways ltc to btc ratio of (as I post) of 0.00446 and DROPPING the last 2 days ..jeez shoot me. ( I have 3150mh
 of scrypt miners and have 650 LTC I want to move to BTC but at this ratio ....it is soooooo ugly)

LTC may not be dying ..but it is bed ridden as we speak....hard to keep up with btc if you can't run! arise*

Maybe this 2014 thread can be allowed to die when LTC breaks through $10 sometime in the next 2 months. It's interesting that there has been so much interest in litecoin that this thread has been bumped continuously for 3 years.

My commiserations Searing but think on the bright side.  At least LTC has been stable vv the USD.

I miss my days of arguing with Darkota and this thread is kept alive hoping one day he will have the stones to return.

It's not so bad for me. Just looks like a slow fade with how it has gone from 0.01 to 0.008 to
0.006 and now 0.00456. IF it ever climbed back to 0.006 that is 6 buck ltc
as compared to this btc ratio.

Home scrypt with ltc could work with that and maybe I could buy equip. But the above with
The expected dump of equipment and huge imho scrypt difficulty rise. Well that boat don't float.

So ltc linkage to btc price has to reassert itself. Home miner scrypt buys too risky without
that happening with the new equip flood. Or at least at 11c kWh winter elec rates or 14c kWh
rates 5 months summer as they do it. Even with miners heating house at $1,200 usd gain

Need the ltc tag along price of at least 6  bucks ie 0.006 ltc to btc ratio. And hell that
may never come back with ltc.  Thus stuck. Home scrypt/and LTC mining deader then
dead.

With a lot of the advantages by the LTC, and SegWit will be contributing a little for LTC. It seems a short hype.

$40 dollar are the panic hype(bubble) and don't wish if LTC will get the bubble again.

Awesome for a dead coin if I can say so myself!

Happy new year 2017! Awesome LTC indeed.

I took some time (part of 2 days) to re-read this post from the beginning.
It's funny how people think a coin is dead or not, _especially_ speaking of the "beginnings", mostly from what they heard from others.

It's been a captivating read, and I thank you for this.

What a lazy sob Coblee is. Keeps on promising segwit release and nothing. His rep is completely shot. Might as well be another Bryce.

Lol everyone likes to say this coins dead and that coins dead. Meanwhile they dont really know what they talking about.
What is the point ? What is your motive to say things like this ? Obviously its not dead and far from.

dead from a miner sense....ltc to btc was as low as 0.00380 or some such ..now it is at 0.00407...its like no one sent LTC
the memo that the other alts got

maybe LTC in its 'hitched' to BTC price etc when BTC was sideways was acting like bonds...a 'safe haven' with BTC price iffy
and the speculation use it has.

But maybe with all the miners hitting pow scrypt (big miners mine daily and cash out for tax/accounting purposes) all just cashing
out ltc to btc on the rise...well hell ...maybe I should just be glad the  ratio is kinda going sideways and not down more...

Anyway acting like a Savings bond ..in consumer purchasing ....like the currenty wall street rise to 20k...ie ...ignored sitting by
itself on the sidewalk.

(I'm using shapeshift.io LTC to BTC xfer rate for the 0.00407 ratio figure.....)

But generally confused on all crypto now (monero and dash pump...btc pump.....current transaction time moving btc to coinbase more then 2 hrs still unconfirmed...(yeah
did the usual standard fee so this should not have been an issue) ..ltc acting all bi-polar and weird.....

sheesh...fun times

But getting tired from the Mining point of view of LTC acting like a maiden aunt who lives in the attic...can't get rid of her..same with LTC  or my scrypt machines...

stuck pondering an looking at navel.

its just weird ..it is almost again like LTC is acting like some kinda safe haven if BTC tanks or goes sideways..My bet is that LTC will come back up to 0.005 or hopefully 0.006
ltc to btc ratio wise (ie 5 and 6 buck ltc) when/if BTC finds a floor in price...IF BTC evens out say at a floor of 1100 usd...and given a couple weeks...if LTC is acting like
that kinda hedge.then maybe not such a big deal

If I'm wrong it will really tank on sideways and I will have to re-think my schedule on moving LTC to BTC how much and when

It could be, many users including me who become passive users, simply purchase and never more in active trading. May need something new from a developer in order to arouse more passion to own these coins.

yeah...imho ...more 'exciting coins' with more return for the speculative silver to btc gold set that LTC used to own..Also everyone and his brother is getting scrypt
pow miners and mining LTC to BTC directly...the big data halls cash out each day or move such to btc and cash out each day

imho it is all LTC can do just to tread water...ie ..price is sideways or slow to rise to btc due to lack of $$ with other alts and rest going to BTC pump (traditional ltc
to btc linkage on price shot now at 0.00407 or some such silly number)

so difficulty is spiking for pow scrypt and LTC....esp....I mean do the math a pow scrypt is way better then btc miners now for all including large data halls
dumping coin...high difficulty...the lack imho of PR for Litecoin to make it competitive with other alts...price is flat....

my fear is BTC goes sideways or correct down to say 900 or so...wtf....LTC will dump to 3.20 usd and probably 0.00200 or some such LTC to BTC
its looking pretty bad imho ...something needs to be done...a prefect storm of keeping price and ltc to btc ratio down

Thats a good thought. It takes people actively selling/buying/using the coin to keep it moving, to keep it looking alive. Im one who buys and rarely sells - more passive as Im horrible at day trading. At this point in crypto, most all coins add more and more coins to the pool by the day (inflating) and therefor need a steady flow of new capital to keep the price up/increasing. One way to keep it flowing is to be the newest exciting coin on the market or to add new features to an old coin. Once use becomes more mainstream this need will be more automatic and demand will push things rather than "flashy extras". Im holding until that point and until then things could get pretty rocky but Im not so worried.

Most mine ltc to btc so with btc dump this may slow. Er.   Maybe?
