Litecoin is officially dead

[NJB18]

I do not find this true.  How can it be true? Litecoin has always been dead, so how would it die?  The announcement comes always, LTC is dead, Litecoin is officially dead. And yet the dead is still kicking hard. And LTC supporters remain solid behind the project. So I guess, LTC is undead then?

I first started learning about and following altcoins at the end of March, 2017. This was a mere 6 months ago and the litecoin price was about $4. It's up over 1000% since then. And to think this thread started over 3 years ago with the opinion that Litecoin was dead.

The successful bitcoin fork was the beginning of the end for litecoin.

how can it be successful when the confirmation times for bitcoin haven't changed? and the fees are still quite high.... litecoin on the the other hand, offers faster transaction and confirmation times and is currently in 5th spot as per market cap and the transaction fees are minimal. so it isn't dead or the end in my opinion

I don't think so, litecoin is the eldest coin after Bitcoin here and you can see nowadays price of litecoin is increasing and I am sure it will grow more in the future. I like litecoin and I am sure it will worth good in future I am holding it for the long term.

Litecoin is not totally dead but close to death, because almost no movement of litecoin in the market. I think a little bit time and this altcoin will gonna die, however hoping that developers of this altcoin will become active and improve it.

Litecoin make my days better everytime

Same as you, mate. With Litecoin, we can get convenience and ease of use without having to worry about slow confirmation times unlike Bitcoin. Fees are extremely low and makes it an ideal tool for everyday payments like buying a cup of coffee and more. Due to its recent uptrend in price and scalability improvements, Litecoin will be here to stay for many years to come.

It will be only a matter of time before people start realizing the true potential of this exciting cryptocurrency, and start investing like mass to help its value reach new highs. Considering the recent decline in LTC's value, it makes the perfect opportunity to buy and hold some LTC now for the future. Just my opinion

True. Many cuz of that use Litecoin, for me personally love this coin. He never faild me ans sometimes its good for this event like now with bitcoin price.
Shame is that no many are using it now like before but now litecoin will take little more time to recover to at least some point of former glory.

no movement? are you sure In 3 month litecoin go up from 20$ to 90$ and you think litecoin is dying?

[Agraoclya]

Lite coin is not dead. It has the potential to rise and double his amount. Lite coin is now sleeping. It can rise in one day or even after a few months. I have already invested in Lite coin.

I am waiting now to sell it at the right time, when lite coin is at his highest price.

[wayaneka]

I dont think so, Litecoin has big potential like Bitcoin. Take alook their developer who solid and the volume and market cap of this coin is always in top 10 biggest , the price also rally fast from $3 tp $80. Also many shop accepted Litecoin as payment methode. This prove if Litecoin good in fundamental.

[AyaYotoko]

Seeing that litecoin is still one of the top crypto currency, Litecoin never died at all. It's been doing a great progress lately.

I'm pretty sure Charlie Lee has been pretty active working on ltc.  It's not dead, it's not close to death, it's cycled all the way from 3 bucks to near 100 this year.

[kandholabhavna]

Dead you say. In my humble opinion this is only one of the top 5 coins at coinmarket cap which will do great in coming years

[SenSeiSoKo]

What is it with lite coin, LTC is a good coin, whats the actual problem with it... So wait for ir, the market is nebulous

LTC shitcoin will stop bleeding momentarily in 2 years for a halving pump from maybe $3-12. Just sell and get into a real crypto with actual fundamentals like Bitcoin Cash. Shitcoins and alts are done.

I really don't understand why people make comments like this. It's really uninformed to call ltc a shitcoin - there are many shitcoins certainly, but ltc has way too much work put into it for it to be that.

[Karto]

I dont see a good reason for dev's or big investors to leave a coin with such big reputation
it can manipulate the market easily with the smallest news

A shitcoin would be dead after so many years and so many shitstorms

This isn´t really true. The mempool only has a few thousand transactions most of the time these days
- since the spam attacks on the Bitcoin blockchain stopped.

Therefore even very low fee transactions with a few cents are getting processed in 1-5 blocks.

The reason why the average transaction fee is still so high is, because some users just don´t have
a clue that they could get away with a much lower fee and the fact that many wallets use terrible
standard settings for fees (and the average user is lazy and doesn´t bother to customize the settings).

You do understand that Bitcoin Cash by increasing blocksize became more like litecoin? It can handle as many transaction in a second now as LTC can (just with slower confirmation time). Even bitcoin by adding segwit has become more like litecoin.

Unfortunately, neither side was able to adopt all the improvements that LTC represents. At least by adopting some of the characteristics of litecoin both BTC and BCH are better for it. Likely, litecoin will continue in its leadership role and that can only be good for the BTC/BCH communities.
