I wont quote everyone, so I will make a short and summarized post about my opinion when it comes to this matter.
a security based on mining Scrypt coins...well basically when we say Scrypt we mean Litecoin and not the Scam coins and jokes because I wouldn't put my money on that....if as an investor you think that Scrypt coins (Litecoin) will lose value against Bitcoin then you are the worst kind of investor, because why would you invest in such security if you think the overall value will be going gradually down ? isn't this a retard move ? now if I am investing in this security, it is only because I believe that unlike Bitcoin, Litecoin still have a great future for mining revenue and on top of that I believe that the value of Litecoin will rise against Bitcoin even more.... and this is why I wish to be paid with Litecoins.
Litecoin is just fairbrix which is copy paste tenebrix and so forth. It's also a joke coin- the purpose of migrating from sha256 to Scrypt was initially safe haven from GPU mining.. of course artforz et al already knew scrypt algo was not safe from gpu and began quietly mining huge amount in background and filling their pockets..
Then it was 'ASIC resistance'.. to stave of btc's forthcoming ASIC brutalisation, and therefore massive centralisation by manufacturers, you could choose LTC as diversification instead. inevitability gave way and coin became valuable enough to warrant developing special hardware.
fast forward and now the purpoted 'ASIC resistance' is pretty publically known to be well. not very ASIC resistant at all. Within few months only entire LTC hashrate will more than double. So why invest into LTC over BTC? why dilute the crypturrency economy which everyone of should be concerned with seeing propser by pouring money into LTC over BTC? What tangible benefits it offers? There is no real infrastructure with LTC. it's is a parasite on BTC right now, considering BTC price can barely be maintained with constant dumps by mining ops esp ones with low overhead who can afford to dump at almost any price, too much out and not enough in and now we expect LTC, doge, quackcoin or whatnot to have constant influx of fiat to support the price too (fiat which could of gone to btc instead) and imagine btc price will not be affected?
LTC price is not free floating and independent, btc is the leader and all markets are affected by it, so by diverting funds from btc ltc goes down regardless.
Greedy Miners love to buy the latest and greatest shovel that cost 0.0005 gold coins to make for 5 gold coins, even if it may only dig back 4 in it's lifetime, they can sleep soundly in the knowledge they can probably stick it on ebay for 2 after it's outlived it's usefulness, it's simple greed, just another example of a gold rush. recently when keiser announce ltc price target the ease the price pumped up was ridiculous.sure it dropped massively but it still trading much higher cannot take that seriously. Cryptx did great move by taking advantage of this market greed and support bitcoin at same time.
