Topic: Litecoin v. Bitcoin - page 15. (Read 43665 times)
Litecoin is like a leverage on bitcoin. so if you believe in bitcoin, it is wise to hold some Litecoins too
Personally, I will stick to Bitcoin. If Bitcoin fails, most likely Litecoin is difficult to survive. But if Litecoin dies, Bitcoin can still goes on...
Which one!! 
Both are best, but I prefer Bitcoin mostly
Both are best, but I prefer Bitcoin mostly
I like Litecoin i get more profit in 1week 0.3 but i lose all of my 2btc in 1 time 
now i like bitcoin for holding
Well I also like because LTC LTC is a coin that I use in trading, so he gave me an profit now i like bitcoin for holding
AS i mentioned before ltc market is better to pump and dump ,bitcoin has power to grow as litecoin has but the potencial income from one and other litecoin leads since can be pumped easyest then bitcoin.

I am so confused.
What is better? Which one do you guys recommend more?
Thank you for your time

Bitcoin definitely is the cryptocurrency with more adoption, trading volume, and service providers. Litecoin is more volatile and possibly better for some forms of trading such as futures arbitrage. On the whole, if you are new to the cryptocurrency ecosystem, I would first explore Bitcoin.
Litecoin is too risky. Bitcoin is the gold and if bitcoin fail, the silver litecoin will fail after bitcoin. If you have litecoin get some bitcoin too. Or get some bitcoin and no litecoin. Get it?
both of them are very risky investments, because bitcoin has swings in price too and is not yet stable. but i agree that if bitcoin were to fail for any reason then all other altcoins would fail miserably too. because nobody is going to look for a substitute for a failed technology. but this failing is not possible at least for the near future.
I don't necessarily agree with you prediction that if bitcoin fails (which I highly doubt will happen any time soon), that other altcoins won't be able to make it because every coin "copies" bitcoin infrastructure. There are a probably 3 or so good candidates that show a good new infrastructure that doesn't just copy bitcoins exact technology. And personally, I believe that these coins (or coins that will be developed in the near future) can/will hold around the same purchasing power as bitcoin... they will just offer different people different capabilities in how they want their cryptos to function.

At least Ethereum and its clones have their own source code dependant from Bitcoin (I think) If Bitcoin fails, all other alt coins would fail, but Ethereum, Shift and Expanse might still be alive. Just my opinion

your reply is not understand... if bitcoin is failed all alt coins will be a failed this correct

Innovation with recognition is what will triumph over BTC. BTC in its current form isnt quite usable - it was a great invention but now innovation must be allowed to continue. LTC isnt quite the coin to replace BTC, but LTC is technically superior to BTC.
At the risk of stating the obvious, if a given feature is no longer relevant, then it is not an improvement.
Most who trot out this canard have not yet learned that the block time is a tradeoff. Please convince me you are not among these uninformed.
So no. Maybe for some niche applications. Certainly not universally.

First unambiguously true thing you've said.
'Innovation' does not denote superiority. Indeed, in the vast majority of cases, the tried and true is superior to the innovative. Probably by the same principle that 95% of everything is shit. 'Innovative' might make you feel proud. In and of itself, 'innovative' does not win you markets.
That said, upon occasion, innovation leads to greater utility. Show me a bigger innovation than Bitcoin. Please. Bitcoin introduced the central innovation of the blockchain - the grand innovation upon which almost all follow-on shitcoins depend.
Deserve? Deserve!? Deseeeeerve!? We're talking about monetary systems here - not a feelgood Special Olympics Participation Medal.

It has several improvements, some of which are no longer relevant

but some advantages such as shorter block times are not negligeable.

That being said, I am discovering other coins with many more innovations over both BTC and LTC...

so in terms of functionality these coins deserve an even better spot than the BTC.

One thing all know is that is very easy to make litecoin pump easy then bitcoin ,because its worth,and value ,i dont think there is several differences besides numbers and one be the king and the litecoin fighting with other to stay on top 10 currencies.

Is it worth it to mine Litecoin right now?
If you have the right machinery and cheap electricity why not? Lots of places to sell it and there are plenty of miners out there.

bitcoin was the first and has massive support in comparison, but I also expect that other similar currencies will spring up over time
look at volume, supply + marketcap compare at here
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/
so you can see Bitcoin is better

I dont think anyone can argue that bitcoin is better overall than LTC but LTC has a few things different and could be argued to be better in some departments.
There is no comparison between both Bitcoin and Litecoin.Bitcoin is real and innovation and LTC was made after this.If you want to invest then Bitcoin is best and when the prices will rise it will have impact also on Litecoin too.
that's the only thing that makes litecoin interesting. when bitcoin seems to go up, then litecoin get a price boost as well. and with its low market cap there is good money to be made.
