Topic: Litecoin is officially dead - page 59. (Read 290714 times)
Nope I don't think it's dead. It doesn't work like any local currency that authority can stop its use or declare as dead. As long as people use it, it can't be dead. Now it totally up to devs what they can do to increase its value and popularity.
There is absolutely, not one logical reason..not even one to even look at litecoin anymore.
You've been saying that since 2014.
but I am less convinced by it, although litecoin have a low price, but litecoin has been able to become one altcoin that have survived so far.
I may buy under 1usd thats the target... waiting until then
You could be waiting some time. However if they do not adopt segwit and these latest developments it is probably time to leave. The community have moaned no updates for years.
Then again there is no reason that LTC can not adopt any tech it wants from other coins once it is proven and get the jump because of adoption.
I'm just sticking to my guns... after doing an analysis a few yrs ago i saw sub $1 as the target so if it comes I buy if it doesn't all good too!

I do not think that there is substantial growth as the main developer speaks negatively about his coin, and at the same time praising other coins.
Im waiting for 5usd this or next week... 
or maybe 2 weeks

I already managed to forget about the existence of this coin. The price of Litecoin and was not particularly high, as far as I know. And now she falls all the time. The good thing is that I had sometime sell it with profit.
In past months it was more evident a strong correlation between the prices of bitcoin and litecoin, but nowadays the price of bitcoin is detached from the current bitcoin price growth. This calm in volatile days is not a good signal for me, but unfortunately I did not sell my litecoins in the right time.
For long term perspective, LTC has been dumped from 0.05+ btc ATH to 0.003X btc, current price is only 7% of ATH price, definitely LTC dies slowly and no future, I have dumped all of my ltc above 0.02 btc. No more dream on ltc, it is worthless and the toy of Chinese miners.
Litecoin was pumped to .05 during a major bull run, likely in a past halving event and now it's back to being dirt cheap w/ segwit about to make it great again. I'm not saying back up the truck and go all in, but the upside at this point in terms of making more bitcoin in a future pump or spec drive based on segwit is a very possible scenario for litecoin holders. I'm usually bitcoin centric but I'm converting a small stake at these levels. Segwit has the potential to turn this .003 price back into .05 or higher, you do the math. 
Litecoin has the same disadvantages as Bitcoin, so i don't think that it will be very popular. Also, Litecoin haven't some his own pros (like Ethereum with his smartcontracts and sidechains). And it's very bad for coin of future.
Actually smart contracts can be built on top of LTC just like it can be built on top of BTC. Feel free to read about rootstock if your interested. The advantage is that the base chain is not built on a turing complete platform and therefore a lot less can go wrong.
Here's one of the educational videos from the litecoin association on how sidechains work.

LTC is heading towards segwit adoption, the lightning network, safer smart contracts and sidechains. It will take time that's for sure; but, that's better than rushing into disaster after disaster like Ethereum seems to encounter.

Right. Litecoin dies. I do not know what a fool today buys it. We see the last gasps. Its price is lower and lower.
I thought it nobody mine, there are more effective options, such as - the XZC.

If litecoin was dead, then all cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of less than $ 240 million would be in the same state. I think Litecoin is just beginning to demonstrate the potential that is in the currency, as it is a currency that in addition to having good qualities that exist in Bitcoin, allows users to have a faster solution to make payments.
good point. Thanks for sharing with BTCtalk people

yes it will back to track ..just wait as recent implementation of segwit and new antminer L3 come in to market will take all this things to some different level

it has 4x the capacity and no political assholedom hindering it.
of course most of that's down to no one using it but it also means that it might set itself up as a real contender technically while everyone's still on the same page. if they can push through fixes for all of bitcoin's glaring weaknesses then it would become the clearest alternative if bitcoin properly falters.
