This is fascinating to me in that about half the people here think LTC is going to skyrocket and the other half are expecting a slow death.
there is absolutely no way it can skyrocket.this guy is just some pathetic cheerleader, he's probably watching his LTC empire evaporate before his very eyes. Perhaps he's some other sort of peripheral investor, eg. he invested in LTC mining hardware. Personally I think it's rather funny. There is nothing looking up for LTC.
I guess I dont mean him any offense, it's just really pathetic to read this.

LOL I just bookmarked this , bluemeanie1 will look like the biggest fool once I bump this thread in a few months from now after Litecoin is on Coinbase and the rewards halved.
If Coinbase starts processing Litecoin, that would be a huge bump for Litecoin and in the short term Coinbase would make more money. But in the long term they would be supporting a fractured economy. I am pretty sure Coinbase wouldn't add Litecoin. It goes against their goal of building a solid, unified, and fundamentally strong bitcoin ecosystem. The last thing Coinbase wants to see is Bitcoin compromised.
My guess is that they will add it when and only when it is a forgone conclusion that Litecoin is here to stay. That simply isn't the case. The price dropping and this thread is great proof of that.
Under the hood Litecoin has some tech that is better than Bitcoin, buuuuuut it simply just doesn't have the wide spread adoption. It is adoption and community that makes bitcoin valuable, not its hash or 10 minute block times verses 2.5 minutes.
Also, the it is well known that all the Litecoin numbers out of China are totally faked. They are straight up lying. Charlie Lee has even openly admitted this. So when you look at the charts and see great Litecoin volume and believe it and think that is an indicator of Litecoin's great success, you are sadly being scammed. On top of that I am guessing the Litecoin bots in China make Willy and Marcus look like a joke. Again, Charlie Lee has openly admitted it is a huge and openly known problem that China is scamming.
