RUM AND CARROTS: A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME

I don't get it. The coins are almost all still worth the same value in USD. What changed? Nothing. Just BTC is worth more. Alt coins don't magically become worth millions just because BTC goes to the moon. They are judged on their own merits and get traded as such. Chill people. The ALT/BTC ratio means you just get a smaller percent of a larger pie. It works out about the same.

I see that short-term profit is the only thing which matters to you, and as such you are lowlife for me. Please, don't buy from the store, there is nothing
for people like you.

Wow. This guy...

Yeah, cause I'm going to wait two hours for my btc to confirm until I get my burger and fries...

Well, if time is an issue, I ain't gonna wait 2.5 minutes on average neither.

Wow, you are an idiot.  Ignore you go.

I don't know whether OP's an idiot, but I think that particular argument is sound. 2.5 minutes confirmation time doesn't have that many use cases over 10 minutes. Either would need an instant confirmation system implemented on top (or just accepting 0-confirmation) to work for most stuff, including groceries and fast food.

What I don't get is why someone who with his account promotes his business would go on a stupid hating spree for no apparent reason.
Bad PR broski. ( I actually considered shopping at your store earlier today. Not so much anymore. )

Also, not sure why you're so mad. Did you miss the opportunity to make a few bucks on LTC and now decide to hate on everyone who took the chance?

LTC seems to be doing fine.

The Gold/Silver analogy seems perfect imho.

Funny how you turn a good thing into a bad thing. The fact bitcoin doubled in a week and ltc stayed at same price vs fiat shows so much resilience.


LOL, it shows that a group of people decided to invest serious money into altcoins and stick to the task, all triggered by slightly more info than a rumour,
hoping for profit later - nothing more. Better play Satoshi Dice, the outcome of the game becomes known much faster. Or try to sell Litecoin or any other
altcoin to general public - street, town, real life, forgot that? - and you'll realise that what you are building is irrelevant to them.

What is really funny is that you altcoiners think those who are using MtGox somehow don't know about altcoins already. They are just idiots with money,
clueless, ready to jump on altcoins without much thinking and investigation, right?
.You seem to think the 300 000 mtgox users are active miners and visit these forums regularly? Mtgox has reached a much more mainstream user base and the addition of ltc as a currency there will indeed show people something new.

I'm sorry but all I see here is bias with unfounded arguments. I have a hard time understand why the few haters put so much energy into hating if their main arguments are usually along the line of "ltc is not a threat".

LTC has uses? Name 10 of them, or name 1 which is not provided or covered by Bitcoin already.

It is somewhat more stable at the moment. Bitcoin is going up and up and up and at a certain moment people become afraid to hold it. That seems to be a dangerous situation to put the money in. Especially if you don't have it lying around. 

But more important than uses, is the fact that there is choice. Bitcoin is developed following an open source strategy. Forking a project means more people working on it. More people working on the code (even if it is a fork) means more safety, less chance the idea disappears and more new ideas are constructed.

PPCoin is a fork, which has some truly novel ideas in it. It doesn't matter it is better or not in the end. It matters that people can experiment with cryptocurrencies, so at the end bitcoin can evolve further. You can not do this kind of experimentation on bitcoins, but you can do it in a fresh fork.

My Altcoin Gods provided me with over $100k in pure profit over the course of 45 minutes. The Bitcoin Gods gave me $200 over a 3 week period.

I'd rather stick to my LTC and do it all over again.

BTC has it's uses and so does LTC. But lose out on the next gold silver rush.  What do I care?

Slightly modified code - not even wallets are customized, so lame - no real uses for years now, worthless and thus deserved to be crushed like bugs!  Grin


BTC is a slug compared to LTC. True story. Try it and I bet you'll never return to prehistoric BTC :p

Just wait until MtGox announces LTC will not be added due to technical issues even with just 1 cryptocoin.  Grin

Then MtGox is incompetent.  I wouldn't trade there period if that happens.  Gox is losing market share as we speak.  Soon it will no longer be the powerhouse as it constantly crashes and can barely trade bitcoin.

Not worried one bit about LTC.  Though you BTC fanboys are for sure.

Lol, yeah. Its chilling around $4.20 LIKE A BOSS.

Other alt currencies... I dont follow and am not surprised if they are crashing, their circulation and total market caps are so low.

I'm also chillin' at 420 like a boss. Smiley

Op looks more and more like an idiot every time he opens his mouth.  

Oh and LTC is up to 4.4 now. lol, crashing hard...
