Pankkake, you must forgot that Satoshi Nakamoto's team keep more than one million Bitcoins (similarly to the pre-mine ).  Roll Eyes
Litecoin will win the race

Something that sparked my curiosity from reading the last 10 pages, if you're against alts and convinced they're 'dead' and useless, WHY are you in the alt subforum?
I personally don't think altcoins are necessarily useless. None of them are interesting enough to be used as a currency for now, but some features are definitely innovative. So far, I've played with a few altcoins, but never held more than 1 BTC of them in a wallet (by that I mean that when I had litecoins, they were actually LTC-GLOBAL shares).

This is a Litecoin thread, not an "all alts" thread
Except many points have been made about litecoin just being another alt.

Folks will buy Litecoin at $20+ each even those here that wouldn't even buy if it went to $1, I remember buying Bitcoins at £10.00 each only to see it drop to around the £2 mark. I firmly believe litecoin is going to prove to be an amazing roller coaster ride whether you want to buy a ticket to that ride or not is entirely up to each individual, if you do though one bit of advice would be to - HOLD ON TIGHT !!

litecoin isn't dead just yet and if the price of btc dips it might rise.

Litecoin (any Alternative coin) has got more value than bitcoin will ever have. Just because anyone is willing to pay x amount does not give it value.

Altcoins will never hold any meaningful value. Litecoin holds a little value because it came second, and because it's scrypt. Bitcoin defines everything in the market today, not the other way around. When people trade altcoins, they look on btc/alt ratio, not on any other ratio.

That being said - I still mine ltc while heating my apartment.

There are many scenarios in which an altcoin could become more valuable than Bitcoin, however none are very likely in the short term.

In longer time scales, the 6 month to 2 year head start Bitcoin has over the alts will not necessarily amount to much.  Once a merchant starts accepting Bitcoin, there is very little barrier to accepting other alts as well.   It'll be interesting to see how this whole crypto thing plays out over the next 5-20 years.

Another sticking point for the naysayers is that it's recently been discovered Coblee's brother owns BTCChina. Things that make you go "Hmm..."

There is a chance LTC might be picked up in China a bit more as the brother of LTC developer Coblee is the owner or btcchina that has been having the massive BTC rally this month.

I heard on BTC-e chat that there were some large buys of LTC from Chinese IPs which sparked the rally a couple days ago. I think some people are speculating that a Chinese BTC exchange will pick up LTC as well. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it happens before Gox adopts LTC Tongue

at least give it an hour or two.... paid shill?
LTC has nothing really backing it..
even in gambling people rather use 0.00001btc than litecoin..

No fiat has anything backing it.  Not the dollar, euro, yen, or anything else.

So saying Litecoin has nothing backing it is like saying Litecoin is as good as the dollar.  Not sure if that would be a compliment at this point.

I don't think litecoin would hit the 0.025 BTC mark again for a VERY long time, it might stay somewhere in the 0.01x BTC range.

Oh, the irony.

Also, shielding yourselves from people who hurt your feelings, yet prove you wrong and would save you money if you listened, isn't very wise.

man, you must be on a mission. Whats your agenda, considering the time you're spent on this thread bashing LTC? You remind me of the penny stock bashers on the financial boards that always want to save people from their money while shorting it or working for someone that is shorting it

He must be butthurt, so much hate.. he probably lost big time on LTC

This is a Litecoin thread, not an "all alts" thread, that's why. Just because some people drift off topic doesn't mean the whole thread does.
