  • make ordinary people (not businesses or merchants) have regular income in bitcoins, so they really utilise nearly 0% transaction costs
  • increase amount of goods/services available for bitcoin only
  • let merchants decrease the price of goods if purchased with bitcoins

The network is building on itself. The infrastructure is being built. Don't force it -- just give it time. BTC is the future.

.......LTC? Not so much. Grin

what do you think of other alt coins ?
i think it heart BTC because every day we have new coin
every coin take an amount that should be sent to BTC
and scams take allot of btc income as well
so you have to fight GOV / scams / altcoins

LTC has no infrastructure, no marketing and no usage.

It will probably slowly fade away.

Right thing. Probably LTC in the next year will die because it is 100% speculative, and there aren't any use about this. But for Bitcoin there are many thing that someone could do for raise price, one of this is realized by Winklevoss brother ! Smiley

Use strong passwords and support anything that encourages stronger security measures from businesses that deal in bitcoin rather it be a mining pool service, retail, etc.  Bitcoin and crypto currency has proven to be highly targeted for theft.  Anything that can improve the ease of use of btc/ltc while also improving security will greatly improve the value of any digital currency.  Right now, there is a lot of doubt which hurts the price.  I wouldn't be surprised if btc value where well in to the thousands if it weren't for all the theft.

ltc is doomed, keep focus on bitcoin, bitcoin adoption is what the coin need to rise in price, don't be scared by big merchats accepting it, windows is a good step
litecoin really never had any chance of success. It has a shorter block time, however this means that each block is less secure (with the same difficulty but the ltc difficulty is much less then the btc difficulty). They use the same algo for mining which means ASICs can be used to mine ltc (some people have though that ASICs cause the mining to become too centralized)

Think its fair to say Litecoin has limited utility and usage
Nevertheless likely to survive though only as a poor mans bitcoin

Litecoin's utility, imho, is for small, quick transactions because of faster conf time.

more integration into online payment services and major online stores and hardware stores would be perfect to help promote bitcoin.

^This, The more companies who do their business on-line start to accept BTC as one of their payment methods, the more mainstream BTC will get and it will ultimately affect the price.

Major gambling markets would also be good. Poker works well as a cash game with bitcoin too.

BTC value can raise if the BTC demand is going up. In shortly - more BTC users  Wink It can happen with time, for example, if banks start to use BTC  Grin

I've stated it before but online games are the way... massive user base (tens of millions of young gamers) who are tech-knowledgeable and won't have an issue using cryptos.

Want to sell a virtual item? A game account? Something in-game related? BTC is the way... Same for game companies... they can have users use BTC for paying for their premium stuff or reward players with BTC for winning something, like a tournament or in-game achievements.

Charlie Lee (creator of LTC) mentioned that Toshi (for Coinbase) is going to be supporting LTC soon.   He has also started hinting at the implementation of LTC into Coinbase.  This will ultimately be huge for LTC, because it is still too difficult to purchase LTC with USD.

I don't use Coinbase to hold a large percentage of BTC, I just use them to make purchases and then move the coins into my own wallet, but it would be really cool to be able to hold both BTC and LTC there...

Any rise in LTC will be useless while LTC has no innovation.

At most some pump, like happened after Huobi accepted LTC

LTC is just a copy cat. It should hold only a scratch of BTC's value.

Bitcoin and litecoin are the only real market. No manipulation is possible really, unless you want to lose money on purpose. Real markets are very volitle. Manipulated ones are stable.

BitCoin is falling, so soon LTC will follow suit I believe. I've never went this long without buying LTC, it's been weeks. I put my buy order at $2

BTC is stabilizing at the moment.
