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.

LTC is second only because it historically came after. It has several improvements, some of which are no longer relevant (attempted ASIC resistant mining), but some advantages such as shorter block times are not negligeable. It can be very frustrating to have to wait 20 minutes for a BTC transaction to confirm and complete. So LTC IS better than BTC; its just not as recognised.

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. But at the end of the day, it is social recognition that has the last word...

I think Litecoin is a far more attractive option for mining at the moment, since you can easily mine on home computers.
In terms of worth, Litecoin has got some serious catching up to do but it might take a while.
When Bitcoin gathers even more commercial attention it’ll be Litecoin’s turn.

Mine in home computers? I tried some time ago, but did not get more than 8000-9000 litoshis a day. Perhaps I was doing something wrong?

He didnt said you would be rich doing it. Maybe you had a slow PC, or maybe PC mining isnt making you rich.

You need ASICS to mine real money.

Well, but there is a big difference between expecting to be rich and mining only 8000 litoshis Grin

I am not complaining or using sarcasm. I really do want to know if mining more than that with an "old" two core computer is possible. I also use faucets, so I am not expecting a lot, but ... maybe about 100,000 litoshis?

Not really, there is no tweak that would tweak your PC being faster.

All you need is hashing power , which is coming at the expense of processing power.

You either buy some ASIC miners for Scrypto algorithm, or you start "staking" some PoS coins, those dont need computing power.

Here's an interesting titbit - https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/3kckli/daily_discussion_thursday_september_10_2015/cuwsd0j

LTC/USD on Gemini. No idea if it's true but rather compelling if it is.

I dont really care about the LTC/USD

I look at LTC/BTC and i see a bit of bubble that needs to burst a bit before i buy.

It was pumped up too fast last winter and after it normalizes i will buy a lot of it.

Litecoin is a backup for bitcoin, as i view it.

If bitcon gets fucked by this blocksize debate, the most likely litecoin will take its place.

All merchants can easily integrate litecoin just like bitcoin, so the transition would be very fast.

that is pretty much it. with the second biggest blockchain and a solid community it has its place.

It is like Silver to Bitcoins gold

(price goes up and down all the time. if bitcoin is succesful, Litecoin will be too)

Yea i`ll buy some more litecoins after the situation improves. But damn that bubble lasts a bit long (btc/ltc).

It should deflate soon and then i`ll buy some more.

I believe in montero to be the future because it does follow a strict rule set and has some nice features which the bitcoin developers have aknowledged before.

That's not a bad choice. Although I think Monero will probably one day hold a price very close to Litecoin. Overall I like Monero.

It really should have a higher price that is consistent though. It's a shame that it doesn't. hopefully as a Bitcoin hedge it will one day. I've always liked the Gold/Silver analogy... but it does lead to the question, which coin is Bitcoin's copper/bronze???

You only have to look at the price difference and the amount of people who use the both coins. I would say Bitcoin is in the lead by far due to its price and future price and the amount of people who use it everyday isnt litecoin just a clone without changing anything anyway?

I went with Bitcoin because it has much more information scattered around and is more established. Litecoin doesnt have many guides and I struggled to learn about it due to lack of resources

Litecoin has been steadily going down; it does not bring anything new to the table compared to Bitcoin. There are many other alt coins which are more innovative; they should do better than Litecoin in the long run...

newbie shills repeating this ad nauseam doesn't make it true Roll Eyes

then you prove us newbies wrong!
does litecoin bring anything new that is actually useful when it comes to using it as a currency? NO
is litecoin price growing? NO
is it a good idea to invest in litecoin? probably not

Litecoin if you want to basically pump and dump bitcoin for the future
