As said before Litecoin is dying because it offers 0 advantage over bitcoin. Except it is accepted at fewer places and even more risky. Don't waste your money. All of these altcoins will be dead within a year.

Only an altcoin that offers something significantly different and better than bitcoin has a chance of surviving.

MtGox will NEVER offer Litecoin exchange services. I know they already announced it, but mark my words, it is never going to happen.

BTC is awesome. So is LTC - you cannot deny that the faster transactions and Scrypt proof of work scheme brought something to the table.

Your post is rubbish.

EDIT: is 4 x transaction speeds a significant improvement in your eyes? Clearly not. Lol

Soon there will be an ethical coin you can mine for "free" ontop (merge mine) with LTC.

WDC is certainly gaining ground for being in its early stage.

That's what was said about Feathercoin as well. Don't get me wrong, I made over 10K from feathercoin, but just look at where it's at now..

BTC or USD, the fact is LTC was very low prior to Gox rumours. How much it costed 1 year ago is absolutely irrelevant here.

It was over a dollar a few hours before the gox news broke. And it was 80 cents a couple of days before that. And prior to that it was 40 to 70 cents for a few weeks. Nothing like 3 dollars where it is now but it was still showing solid growth, and at the time those numbers were massive for an alt currency.

What really kicked it off is when Bitcoin broke $32 and started it's bull run up to $260. People started kicking themselves for missing the boat and looked for 'the next bitcoin', at the same time lots of new blood came into the game, brought in by the media attention.

Where are you guys getting these facts? LTC was WELL above $2 when the Gox news broke. It may have been much higher but that is my limited knowledge (I had Real Life things to attend to)

EDIT: According to my limited knowledge LTC was about to crack $5 when the Gox news broke - I just did a quick google to check my facts.

At http://dustcoin.com/mining LTC is second most profitable to mine.

And if you do not have a BTC rig it is therefore most profitable.

It is not dying.

I call FUD!

http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,4008.msg28501.html#msg28501 I predicted boththe ltcbtc drop and threads like these. People trading cryptocoins are super predictable. Its much, much easier then the forex market. Please for your own sake, if your not a trader consider thar onn the other side of the trade is someone likely eating your lunch. Especially so if you do short term trading.

Grin  only thing I'm missing here is leverage...and pips...  Cry

LTC was 0.021 just prior to the announcement that MtGox was going to implement LTC.

Before first rumours started it was actualy around 0.0004

.0004?

0.004

Rumors first started, what date exactly? Thank you.

2 - 3 months ago.

http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/period-charts.php?period=6-months&resolution=day&pair=ltc-btc&market=vircurex

We'll go back to Dec. 3, 2012 (6 months) just to be safe.



Price was .072 at it's low. Where's the .0004 or even .004??

Anybody can check that chart and see that the price stayed constant for a couple of months and then shot up right around the time Gox officially announced support for LTC.

FUD BS. Done with this troll thread.

STILL buying and mining.

we talk about LTC to BTC

Gotcha. Still done with this thread.

Not following. LTC has already survived longer than most cryptos and increased significantly in value vs both fiat *AND* BTC all while "competing" with an established crypto. Why will it suddenly fail when there are more uses for it now than ever before?

If you want guarantees then you should probably pack up your crypto clients right here and now. I suggest goobermint bonds. These are guaranteed...guaranteed to collapse. 

You can't use "it worked for bitcoin" when discussing litecoin because the market landscape in those scenarios is completely different.  Bitcoin was pioneering a trail, things that worked for it won't always work for litecoin which has to compete with what is now a vastly oversaturated crypto market.

...and? The thread title is about LTC's demise. How does an expansion in the Litecoin economy not work in it's favor? The fact that BTC had SR before LTC had Atlantis does nothing to reduce the utility increase LTC users potentially gain from the existence of Atlantis. You seem to be hung up on your pre-existing conclusion that LTC is not a first and therefore any progress should be dismissed.

Also when you use the terms "guarantee" and "won't always work" you're weakening your own arguments. Please see post above about government bonds and guarantees.
