Topic: Litecoin is officially dead - page 99. (Read 290699 times)

Lets wait and see.

Well, Litecoin is number 3 in market cap as of today. That's probably the case but it's unpredictable...

How come?

Indeed. I think that Litecoin will be one of the few alt coins that would survive in the future. When Bitcoin goes mainstream, Litecoin would probably increase in price.

LTC is not dead, it is waiting for future

IMO for ltc to be dead, btc has to be very very ill...

And 50% of altcoins, probably more, are basically a re-skin of other altcoins or bitcoin, we all know the crypto community is not very serious in this aspect and i dont know if its a good thing or not, in the short term probably not, for people that want to get profit, in the long term probably not very good for the whole community.

The only thing dogecoin had going for it, was literally, a doggy on the coin...

=squeak=

It still has a strong fanbase so who knows.

However i think DOGECOIN is the real crap. That hyperinflated Dogturd has 100 billion pieces and still growing.

And its even a bigger joke than Litecoin with far less to offer.

Poloniex got a good reputation.

Kraken is certainly not a bad choice when it comes to safety. Not as liquid as BTC-e though.

What is the safest exchange to trade LTC on?

In my view if we all find out that this last halving of LTC was just a pump and dump by BTC and LTC whales and the price goes back AFTER halving to around
say 1.69 usd to 2.00 (it was 1.69 june 5th 2015) well ...a lot of p/o'd bag holders at that point will dump and anyone still mining scrypt on equipment they
already have (me with titan(s)) will DEFINITELY be mining LTC to BTC direct and not holding LTC anymore..ie run the rubber band out imho

and also at that price again imho we likely would NOT see any new scrypt pow miners of any type in the works either data hall exclusive or less likely
home miner versions..it would really cripple if not kill all pow/scrypt like LTC and dodgecoin etc

such a hit would wind the worldwide press up as well and the FUD would fly on how pow/scrypt alts are in trouble thus the inevitable that means bitcoin is
in trouble (not really but that is what the FUD would say) so would likely for a bit effect BTC price lower

so yeah LTC and pow/scrypt could go away....if on this halving it was all pump and goes back to old prices with 1/2 the coin you are able to mine with your
scrypt/pow equipment for LTC and/or as a result of this price return to around 2 bucks..the further unlikelyhood of any new pow/scrypt equipment of any kind

now LTC currently is doing what I expect...ie around 4 bucks and after halving I expect the same if not a small rise due to the halving ..but the above alternative
is possible if not as likely imho as just the expected 3 - 4 buck LTC coin after halving

"prepare for the worst......hope for the best" I guess

I dont see why that assumption would be correct, there are plenty of altcoins and plenty of them died even if bitcoin hasnt, not long ago litecoin was on the 1$ mark, there is always the possibility for it to die no matter what bitcoin price is, at leas that is my opinion

I agree, as long as there is even a slight possibility that Bitcoin might stumble, LTC will be around.

.

Doubtful imho (an I'm holding a mess of LTC) the next "ferry ride" and go round will be on the bitcoin halving in 2016 (august?) imho

(I hate these 'ferry rides' for LTC...I get sea sick and always want to jump off the boat anyway.....then I get to the destination and
it is not as advertised....)

You just missed a pretty massive pump and dump.  The question is, will that group rinse and repeat.

Bitfinex is always getting pushed around by smaller Chinese exchanges in the BTC market.  Not sure why LTC would have to be different. 

Not saying that is the case.  Just saying this argument doesn't convince me.
