Topic: Litecoin is officially dead - page 121. (Read 290699 times)

[EDIT]: Right...but it's fallen well below two bucks now.

(That's what I get for flying on memory...)

The community is still there. Hashrate is still there. In terms of price yeah not only ltc but all altcoin in general suffer massive price drop. It's kinda of idling with practically no development but to just put it as being dead status might be too harsh

Is Litecoin dead?
Is Dogecoin the new litecoin?
Is some new coin going to become the next Bitcoin?

“The goal for the currency is to keep approximately 100 billion coins in circulation - thus after 100 billion Dogecoins are created, rewards will continue at 10k each block. This will help maintain mining and stabilize the number of coins in circulation (considering lost wallets and various other ways coins may be destroyed) at 100 billion.”

Brand:
Dogecoin is a currency that was born on the internet and it is a part of the internet culture.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_%28meme%29

Dogecoin started as a joke. Absurdity and fun kept dogecoin in the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the “hyperinflation” phase. Community that remains passionate and doesn’t abandon the coin under high selling pressure from mining pools is a rare thing to find.

The culture is the main reason why many people prefer dogecoin over others, and it is also what attracts a broader demographic that wouldn’t touch cryptocurrency otherwise.

Dogecoin is considered a beginner’s coin because of how easy and fun it is to use it.

Dogecoin has more community support than all altcoins combined.

dogecoin is dying too.

It's at least way more successful than litecoin ever was, dogecoin.

Look at market cap, LTC is still NO.3, NO.1 scrypt altcoin, it is still alive, never die. Doge has a chance to be NO.1 scrypt algo coin

At least that is dying.

Litecoins unfortunate death sentence was issued the day Dogecoin was released. 
 
Dogecoin is the true litecoin 2.0. 
 

Clearly more useful than that Scrypt ASIC miners.

Not to mention that bitcoin is technically bigger than it's ever been right now.

Lol, that whole litecoin silver thing, was a marketing gimmick used to pump/dump Litecoin. Litecoin has been dead since 2013.

bitcoin is dead too.

So i think litecoin is just the iron to bitcoins bronze

Bitcoin dies - litecoin dies with it.

Or even $1.xx.

https://www.tradingview.com/v/IhW9jms6/

Look at my posts ive been calling $2.xx since it hit $47

Yes you can predict things to come  You are legitimate dude 

False. Here's the real arguments that the Litecoin community has chosen to ignore or chastise time and time again.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9918005

I don't think it's too late, it would just take a huge shift in thinking and organization.

Yup, this thing is pretty dead.   Sad...it used to be my favorite coin.
