I have already invested in this coin and I am thinking of long term benefits with this coin in the long run. I must be confident that this coin will reach very high values in the near future.

Bitstamp add LTC that is good sign.

I'm thinking selling some btc now and buying ltc come august 1.
However Im not really convinced in LTC as some people seem to be. I kinda would like to be, because it has big market for many years now, very good supported exchange wise etc.
Maybe Im just a noob and dont get it and hopefully someone can enlighten me on this. Some smart people definitely support LTC and see it going strong in the future.
Here are three things why Im sceptical about Litecoins future, am I right or wrong? :
* Its always second to bitcoin. Some people say bitcoin is not a competitor to litecoin, how can this possibly be true? its like saying Audi is not a competitor to BMW. Another one: "litecoin can coexist with bitcoin and be for smaller purchases, while btc for larger". Isnt it like saying euros for big purchases and usd for small ones or euro for banknotes and usd for cents?? I dont get it. I understand litecoin at the moment might be faster, cheaper to transact and generally technically better then btc and I agree, but what happens when btc solves its slow as turtle expensive as gold transaction problem?
* Historically ltc always dropped back to 3usd something stable low after the market bull run hype period. while btc always always stabilized at higher price then before bull run, ltc was not able to hold it and dropped all the way back to where it was before?
* and last one - litecoin just sounds something like you know..LITE coin and its logo even looks like one (is it silver or just nickel). kinda feels like its almost programmed to be always lite, light and cheap? you know there are lot of psychology involded in markets..

what do you think? am I totally wrong and just simply dont get it? thanks

Litecoin was never looking so stable and full of potential. It is being added to more and more exchanges since Charlie Lee came back to it. It is to be agreed that investing in LTC right now will be profitable in short to long term without any issue.

The coin has a future. I also expect that the price will be above  100 $

The forecasted growth of the coin by the end of the year is 200-250 $.

Bittrex is trading USDT-LTC.   

ha ha ha ha

I am one of those people who is buying LTC not to be harmed in August

I will buy more.

Actually, with SegWit on BTC comming, I can see value of LTC rising more and more, as people dont want to be in BTC during Aug.. so if they go to LTC and taste it, it pushes price even further

It would be great if coindesk put the Price of litecoin on their main page like bitcoin and ether litecoin is a top currency
litecoin is demonstrating the need for governance and a roadmap bitcoin could Split in 2 coins and ethers are only for useless icos
A great governance is working great for litecoin the Price could increase to 500 dollars or more
litecoin one of the only serious coins people should participate more in the development of the litecoin and buy more coins

If Charlie can do what Satoshi had plans for originally with the built in Marketplace (Which is where Lightning Networks are heading) then Litecoin could be tip top #2 for a while if not indefinitely.

hi I'm new here. is there a slank invite I can get hold of. thanks

I am heavy in favor of litecoin, but reading through here whats with these numbers people are pulling out of no where some of these predictions are so ridiculous i really hope no one actually reads them and takes the advice

Agree with you, LTC will hit 200$ this year. But even now LTC is 50$ and this is good price. I think LTC has good fundamental, so, lets see))

This is the beauty of LTC. OMG !!! Whole crypto world is going under blood, not under water. Yet LTC is holding , great. Many people thought that I am very mych optimistic regarding LTC. Now look. LTC is the supreme crypto. I will be with LTC forever

I hope.

New hires and more, including very appropriate priorities.

"In addition to its commitment to new hires, the Litecoin Foundation recently unveiled a development roadmap that includes technical changes made possible by the SegWit activation.

Surprisingly, though, this isn't necessarily Lee's primary focus. He argued that the "most important thing" is increasing litecoin adoption among exchanges, merchants and users.

"I want to make sure that litecoin is traded everywhere first, then make a convincing case why companies and merchants should use litecoin when they need fast and cheap payments," he said."

Lee knows a lot.
I do not think Lee is wrong
