Other than price speculation, please give me one reason to buy LTC over BTC.  That is why is will die a slow death.

LOL...read through the thread. There have been AMPLE reasons stated.

Stop lying to the guy please.

Litecoin  has no adoption, there are no major stores accepting it at all.

Litecoin has no innovative features, it's only feature was ASIC resistance, and it's now being raped by scrypt ASIC's...

Litecoin also has no "dev team", we can safely say Litecoin's original Dev abandoned the project years ago, as almost no updates was made to the code software..

Anyone who actually buys Litecoin is a dumbass and as you can see since it feel over 80%, they're going to end up loosing a lot of money...It's worthless.

No amount of posting on a forum will change what the network effect of LTC will be. The market will decide for itself without biased statements of "oh so and so ignored me and they shunned me blah blah".

Or even claiming that LTC supporters are like "brainwashed subservience, salesmen preaching".

The thing to remember is that in any community of people there will always be people that say things that are not true and get others outside of the community riled up.

That isn't an excuse to lump everyone together as to be that type of person to spout BS.

That's like saying if a white guy offends you then all white guys are offensive. The logic fails there.

My biggest problem with Litecoin is the continued condescension of the vocal minority who ensure that Litecoin will never go anywhere because of them. Every single coin is branded as "Remember Auroracoin" or "Dogecoin jokes" and dismissed in their typical arrogance. Their heads are so far up their asses, that they have forgotten it stinks. Who the fuck wants to be part of this type of community? Why should I exchange goods with this type of coin holder if I am a business?


Just because someone told you that litecoin isn't going to go anywhere because of "them" doesn't mean that applies to all of the "vocal minority".

I'm of the opinion that if LTC "fails" it failed for a valid reason that the free market decided.

I don't think LTC will be "dead" in a few years but that doesn't mean I am claiming it will never ever "fail" or "die" or whatever undefined word you want to use to describe LTC's future.

My problem with Litecoin is brainwashed subservience, salesmen preaching how to be to be good suck ups in life. That is against fundamental human spirit. Those who got brainwashed are now arrogantly proud of being subservient and want others to do so as well. Exhibit A: Constant reminders of "Silver to Gold". It's bagholders reminding others of how this is a "necessity" or that Litecoin fulfils this necessity and that it will continue to do so because of .... (yah right, nothing).

The other problem is how mining hardware centralization is being obfuscated as essential component for network security. Who the fuck are you clowns kidding? Expanding on this is an insult to crypto knowhow. Yah Bitcoin got way with it. Bitcoin will continue to get away with it in all probability because crypto in general is niche even now with Bitcoin awareness and slow adoption.

Broadly speaking there will be two prominent blockchains.

Trasparent -> BTC. King of them all and should be forever.
Non Transparent -> No established dominant chain acceptance yet.

In the future Litecoin will have to come up with different marketing jargons. Silver is not going to do it. Just wait till the smart start cashing out, the reality sinking at $5 and then the blind faithful finally capitulating around $1.



Price is irrelevant because back when LTC was $0.05 each there were people like you saying the same thing and now 2 years later it isnt any different this time.

You are one of these vocal minorities I was talking about.

2 years ago Litecoin.org had messages claiming CPU affinity (actually up until 2 months ago even). Things have changed and it is different this time. It is now a subservient edited joint. Enjoy it while it lasts and I am sure you do.

lol

So funny to hear the same tune about what is irrelevant. Who cares what a new slogan or saying will do?

What matters is the protocol is sound and people trust the network (there is some sort of network effect).

You tried to bring price into the picture as if that really matters. Now you ignore it when I bring up that there were people like you back then saying the same thing you are saying now.

Perhaps Litecoin will never always be #2 ...let's let the free market decide and stop with the immature name calling? Thanks.

There will probably be people like you who will say LTC is going to "die" 2 years from now. Nothing new buddy.  Cheesy

It is really simple: Don't like litecoin? Don't use it. The rest is just whining and crying on the forums it appears.

I still remember when the BTC-e trollbox was all abuzz about Litecoin going on Gox and then "to the moon".

ROFL me too
talkin' bout hardcode delusion Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
~CfA~

Yes it was a good thing LTC didn't go on gox.

I kept saying LTC doesn't need gox around the time people were repeating that garbage over and over.

However, infrastructure is significantly more limited than it is with BTC and a lot of other alts are quickly catching up. LTC still has a sizable edge, but that gap is closing rather than expanding.

Though in fairness, you write this as ASICs are just now starting to take over the network. We're going to have a much different looking picture at the end of 2014. When you look at Litecoin's network difficulty and hashrate, it dwarfs all other alts.

Litecoin's network will never have the hashrate or difficulty that Bitcoin does, because of Scrypt. That limits the amount of hashrate that can be squeezed out of ASIC hardware, relative to power consumption. But in relative terms, Litecoin's network over the next year will likely grow to become just as secure as Bitcoin's is, today...if the current momentum is any indication.

Bitcoin looked stagnant for a long, long time before ASICs hit it, and more attention started getting drawn to it. That attention came from the investment being made in its infrastructure. That vote of confidence was essentially what catapulted it into the consciousness of venture capitalists and investors. So the premise that Litecoin is somehow dying a slow death, while hundreds of millions are being poured into hardware infrastructure seems a tad premature, to me.
Sorry for the lack of response; I was more referring to infrastructure in terms of the usability of LTC (such as merchant acceptance). Multi-payment processors and quicker adoption of other coins in various crypto-currency marketplaces have quickened, so it's beginning to take away from that secondary strong suit that LTC has had.

As for ASICs, I really do see it becoming like it is with BTC; LTC will likely be the standard sCrypt ledger and I don't anticipate it falling by the wayside to any other sCrypt alt.

My apologies for the confusion, I tend to bucket advancements in market penetration as part of the infrastructure and hardware infrastructure as part of security.

Thanks Smoothie, I did miss that, and by the way I spent something like 30 minutes responding to your post about your "reasoning" and you never replied back. You just resorted to more insulting.

I'll get back with you tomorrow Mage, it seems there's a lot to go over there and it is getting late.

Peace

No problem. Kinda hard to miss a giant wall of text. Tongue

Smoothie, this is the last thing I'll say to you. I know you always like to have the last word and prove me wrong in the final statements of our arguments, so I will let you have that privilege.

If you ever want to debate the reasons you support Litecoin, then door is always open. It's trolls like you why all these anti Litecoin threads are made to be self moderated. I haven't ever made a self moderated thread once in my life, as I am not ashamed and I know that I have a point here. Unfortunately, you don't want to talk about the subject at hand and can only insult me. That is not my fault, I tried to have an earnest debate with you, and you refused to do so. You look like a clown skating around the topic at hand with as many different ways you can think of to take the conversion off topic.

Cya buddy

Once I made my stance clear on where I see Litecoin in the future (which is I have no stance on it and we will see)...you went off on a bunch of other victim-minded topics including being insulted. So here is my last post as well....

Good job with the name calling. Very mature.  Wink

See ya "insulted victim"!  Grin
