Long term Bitcoin

Short to Medium term Litecoin

Ltc actually has huge potential and it might become even popular than btc some day, because of the transaction speed. I traded all my bitcoins to ltc a while ago at price of ~5$/ltc

You mean confirmation speed and there are alt coins with faster confirmation speed already. That's not a good argument for a currency to overtake another.

I'd honestly invest in LTC.. I wish I had done months ago when I mined some. At the time of mining they were worth about 10 bucks a pop, right now they're ~30. I have to agree with the fact that LTC and other altcoins are related to the rise and fall of BTC, but I think LTC can become a very strong altcoin, and take a course of it's own, if I had to choose I'd invest in LTC.

I like the concept of LTC and I believe there's a lot of room to grow.


Months ago the Bitcoin was worth $150 and now is worth $900

When bitcoin was 150$ ltc was worth 2$  Tongue

I guess things like this can make ltc interesting :  http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/525867/20131128/litcoin-value-leaps-100-percent-market-cap.htm , but I have no investments in ltc myself.
Also mining ltc would make less hassle as the gpu is still usable (I think), you might even have a computer gaming rig to dedicate a couple of days, just to see if you can stand the noise  Wink
I got a bflminer next to me and it is not quiet, love bitfury for their ssssilent machines.
For buying coins... I would follow some advices above and decide for myself. And also it seems to be a bit more trolls around the ltc  Smiley
Don't ask for too much and you won't lose all in one go, as I did trading for the first times, slowly but surely is the way to go.

Happy coinage!!!

I'd say both.  As long as you aren't spending money you can't afford to lose.

I don't think those are best to "invest" in because they cost so much you should mine those and buy cheaper coins

Go for both, Btc & Ltc will continue to grow as well some other alt-coins. Diversify,Diversify,Diversify.

Everyone will have a different opinion on this.  Mine is that Litecoin is undervalued.  It should, in principle, rise to about 20-30% of Bitcoin's value over time.  However, it is still less than 4% of Bitcoin's value, though it's made big strides lately.  Only a few weeks ago, it was at less than 0.5% of Bitcoin's value, and was just noticed by more exchanges and miners.  It's possible, also, that Litecoin's GPU-friendly Scrypt algorithm brought in some who were late on mining Bitcoins.  Today, GPU's, FPGA's, and even first generation ASIC miners are no longer profitable for Bitcoin.

The only difference between BTC and LTC is that it uses scrypt algorithm, more in coins supply, faster block speeds. How is litecoin undervalued? What make a fiat currency have value? It's supply over demand. What consumers think it's worth.

The only reason BTC is so high is that their are ignorant people investing their money into something that they know nothing about. The investors see hey its the first bitcoin, It has received ubiquitous amount of attention (it must be good), it has more infrastructure than other alt coins for example zipzap are implementing ATM, people only look at the short term of what bitcoin has to offer. To be honest I think peercoin/worldcoin is undervalued.

I could be wrong but isn't ASIC and FPGA hardware in development for scrypt? I know I am changing topics here but is worth investing money in a mining rig that mines scrypt? I am thinking of purchasing a R9 280x it should get around 700Kh/s but I don't know if I will break even since the difficulty will increase exponentially when the ASIC and FPGA hardware comes out for scrypt.

The neat thing about FPGA hardware is that you have millions of logic gates that can be rewritten, even while a program is running.  All of those FPGA miners used for Bitcoin can now be recast for Scrypt (Litecoin, Feathercoin) or even QuarkCoin, if you like, and they will likely run faster than either CPU's or GPGPU's.

While pursuing my BSEE at Rensselaer, we discussed numerous applications for FPGA's, which could already switch their operation instantly at run time.

Litecoins are getting purchasing power thanks to Neo Bee and others.  eCommerce sites accept Bitcoins first, but some already have Litecoin.  Litecoin is still minable on a GPU, leading to widespread ownership of small amounts of the stuff, and is sometimes the most profitable of the altcoins for mining.  It has a few other small advantages over Bitcoin.  However, the fact that its maximum production will be 4x bitcoin's 21 million tells me that, one day, with the two accepted almost everywhere, that Litecoins will be the quarter to Bitcoin's dollar.

Yup, you may buy little from every alt coin, but expect many dead coins. But who knows, some alt coin may get some share in cryptocurrency use in future (now Bitcoin dominate with merchant support)

I do admit I have no litecoins. When I bought my bitcoins I didn't really bother looking at the other currencies. But if I were to buy now, I'd buy 80% bitcoin, 20% litecoin. I believe bitcoin will be the one to thrive, but meanwhile litcoin will probably grow as well.
