Topic: Invest in LTC or BTS - page 2. (Read 4384 times)

Before any Investment first you need to understand about the basic principle of the Investment in any altcoin , Because Investment In altcoins is also have chances of loss Because a particular coin in which you made Investment can go down to 1 satoshi ( here the big Example is yes coin ) .
So never put your all the eggs in single bucket , always put in different different bucket .
Here i made Investment in the BTM , dgb , doge , ripple , monero Because I . thinking that out of one of them will surely rise to double and will turn my Investment into double .
So here I will suggest you to Invest in the both Instead of single one .

Ltc is good for invest.

Is there a reason why you are deciding between these two? They are both imo a bad investment at this point in time, as others have said LTC was once a decent buy but its gone up too much in value now. There are plenty of good alts still decently priced though.

I should be agree with your statement, The purpose of segwit just to driving the price of litecoin. The scaling solution from litecoin just to attract new investors and no more. With his fast block and it doesn't make sense to implement scaling solution for bitcoin.

too late for entry. Better think about shorting it. LTC was a good buy when it was 3$ to 5$. BTS i wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

Difficult to compare the two.  BTS is more of a platform where LTC at this point is strictly a token.


BTS with it's current tech, graphene, has been showed to scale quite nicely:

With Dan announcing EOS, we can only wonder when BTS and Steem will move to this technology allowing large volume exchanges to move their operations onto the BTS blockchain.  OpenLedger has already done this and seems to be working just fine for them!

Litecoin is probably the worst investement you can make of any crypto IMO, specially at this price. Its record as a store of value is abominable and it relies on periodic "resuscitation" pumps just to be kept alive. Have a look at this:



Clearly the place not to buy is right at the top of one of those spikes - or in fact anywhere during a litecoin spike, unless you happen to know exactly where you're going to jump off.

The current pump has nothing to do with scaling. It would be if litecoin implementing segwit could scale bitcoin but it isn't, it's scaling litecoin and so it's no more a driver or value than any other scaleable altcoin is. The reason for the pump (as you can see from that chart) is that whales are accumulating bitcoin, not litecoin and are using the recent addition to coinbase as a basis for fleecing unassuming traders jumping on the bandwagon, just exactly as they did with the previous 'spikes'. Note the lower low every year.

Bitshares meanwhile has potentially massive growth at hand.

The reason is that it's uniquely placed to benefit from the large and increasing demand for fiat-pegged cryptographic assets. Just have a look at Tether's volume to see what the potential is. The problem is that Tether is fiat backed whereas Bitshares is a pure crypto solution backed by a genuine market-driven peg.

No brainer I'd say.

I go for LTC.

Because you post that you are interest for long term investment then LTC is my choice between two because,

It has some time around, from 2011, means that have resistance in time,
It is segwit activated,
A good alternative coin instead of btc in small transactions that means a potential increased adoption in cryptocurrency world.

Which factors made your investing strategy to rest on these two? There are several more options available around to choose from. However, if you are concerned with these two only then no doubt, LTC is far better and particularly presently when LTC is on its full blossom.

With all the recent development on Litecoin,litecoin is my hands down choice I don't know much about bitshares but litecoin is slowly getting a lot of buzz because of the recent development all the other altcoins went down but litecoin is still up

for long term (from a month to couple of years) only bitcoin and never even consider anything else.

for shorter term (a couple of months). litecoin has a good potential of rising up. it has the SegWit being activated in it in about 2.5 hours and then we are off to the moon. there may be some drops but fear not, you can wait for the bottom because moon is on sight.

however the other altcoin you mentioned seems to have some easir path of rising. the risk is higher but the rise may be bigger. so choice is yours.

I love litecoin very much.

As long as Bitcoin is having these scalability issues, I could still see LTC growing after this initial Segwit interest.
I could definitely see more and more Bitcoin users switching if the transactiomn stay slow and expensive.

Plus, who knows what Litecoin will do after as few months? Can't completely count out some new announcement.

I like LTC.

If you're planning long term and want more tuple profit, then go with BTS, if you want a safer option and want to go with where you are less likely to lose your investment but you will get lesser percentage of profit, then choose LTC, but don't buy LTC right now as it is on a pump, wait for the price to settle and then buy whichever you like.

ltc is good for invest. it's price regularly increase. so I suggest for ltc.

i prefer ltc

LTC but the price is high now due to SegWit

Bitshares look like a good short-term investment. It is 18% up on coinmarketcap. But the price is too small for this coin to be good. BTS has extremely fast (5 seconds) transactions and smart contracts can be performed with it. But I don't like that it is tied hard with the company BitShares which can, of course pump the price any time they want. Plus, it is somehow connected to fiat which makes it more or less stable. The currency looks suspicious to me. So I vote for litecoin like everyone else.
