FYI, I sold some STEEM and bought more LTC on this dip.

I will continue to buy LTC with every thing I can find. I have 1 BTC in another account which I will probably transfer to Poloniex so I can buy more LTC.

The volume on LTC is building. LTC has far too high of volume lately to stay so undervalued. The pressure is building. Also, fiat is coming into LTC via Coinbase, so that in my mind is enough to push LTC's price up regardless of SegWit activation.


My thesis of both the rise of price outpacing hashrate rise due to constrained supply of ASICs, thus driving miners to increasingly signal SegWit, plus my thesis that "It Is Just Time" and that Bitcoin can't rise (willl remain range bound < $1200) until Litecoin catches up to $30+, seems to be holding as truth.The huge volume on LTC tells me LTC has become the #1 altcoin, the pressure is building for another upward explosion in price, and it extremely undervalued. LTC is starting to average more volume than ETC.



meanwhile in Bitcoin land..

BU Support weakens, SegWit stronger (34/30)

https://coin.dance/blocks

It is impossible for it to reach 95%.

Jihan Wu will never allow Blockstream to exist on Bitcoin. And I already explained he has checkmated Blockstream with his Bitmain covert asciiboost hardware spread out all over in the wild, which he can activate at will without even implicating himself nor Bitmain. Perhaps you missed my elucidation on that.

Bottom line is Bitcoin won't get scaling. Litecoin is poised to get scaling.

maybe, but I wouldnt bet my house on that.

I would, if I had a house. Seriously. I am selling everything I can find to buy more LTC.


SegWit approval on LTC is down to 62%. What a show. miners must laughing their asses of.

http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php

Within the "current activation period", it has been steady at 64-65% since my post which quoted.

Your theory is that they (Jihan and co) will not try to block segwit on LTC but their actions speak the opposite, at least until now. My take is that they are playing with fire and might get burned sooner than they expect.

I also considered your proposition that some of the chinese miners are purposely delaying signalling segwit in order to accumulate at lowest prices possible and thus maximize their profit in the forth coming pump. Actually, I don't see why they wouldn't do this.

Jihan Wu is playing along the game. I never said he wasn't blocking SegWit on Litecoin. But as I wrote, there is 20% of hashrate that was temporarily pulled so the signaling reduced from ~70% to ~62% but since has climbed back to ~64% because more and more other miners are switching to signal SegWit because they are starting to understand the price dip is due to signaling.

As the base of signaling builds back to 69 - 70% again, that 20% hashrate can return and push it over 75%. That might BTCC who is moving that 20% hashrate to and from Ethereum (their GPUs mining farm).

Since BW has stated it will soon signal for SegWit, perhaps some of that hashrate that Jihan had there has been moved to Antpool. Jihan may have been using proxies to hide or influence the decision of other pools. Any way, as I stated before that the hashrate game is too obfuscated for me to determine definitively, but the trend of LTC is now undeniable.

All roads to scaling lead to LTC.

Get on the train or be left behind.



Re: Snapchat first investor thinks bitcoin could realistically be worth $500,000

According to Jeremy Liew, the first investor in Snapchat, and Blockchain CEO and cofounder Peter Smith. In a presentation sent to Business Insider, the duo laid out their case for why it's reasonable for bitcoin to explode to $500,000 by 2030.

A very interesting article at Business Insider that worth reading: http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-price-could-be-500000-by-2030-first-snapchat-investor-says-2017-3

I originally thought BTC might top out below $50k.

But now that I understand that BTC will be exclusively only the settlement layer for the mass scaling which will take place in altcoins, I now think his analysis may be correct.

All the power broker settlement will likely to be on the Bitcoin blockchain which will be the bulk of the fungible capital generated by the masses on the altcoins as dictated by the power-law (Zipf's law) distribution of wealth. Thus Bitcoin is the reserve currency of all the altcoins.

This is why one must stay invested in this sector. Note I do think the altcoins that scale up the masses will see faster appreciation than BTC in spurts, so that is one of way of increasing one's BTC if you are expert at speculation. Otherwise buy and hodl BTC.


iamnotback Maaan thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!

Just because of your post I was allin in LTC since 0.09

I was shorted few times and suddenly losed a half of my LTC, but I still make a great profit!

Thank you again.. I am in debt Smiley

do you remember what happened to Monero or Dash? why can't this happen with LTC? the price can go up really fast. and as long as there are buyers the price will go up.

When it hits $50 and establishes a new baseline, the round 2 begins  Grin

Do you guys really think that LTC will touch $50 ? soon or in 2019 ? If I am right, LTC was @ $4 even 3 weeks ago. Now it is already $22. I think this is the best LTC can do after too much hype and news, segwit, coinbase etc.

well its better to hold and see how really far the price will go up as we seen the movement right now its keep moving up and no trace of falling down
time to buy still while the price is not that high yet or better to watch out and missed the ride,.


perhaps the 11,888 LTC I've mined and moved to BTC since Nov 2014..would have been better if I'd have held it till now (sob!)

anyway...20/20 hindsight works both ways...looking back on how sickly LTC was for last year or two....who'd a thunk it? Smiley

(So many boats missed since 2013...so many boats yet to miss by halving of LTC in 2019...stuff to do) Smiley



well your 11.888 litecoin are still there just in a different format!  Wink
hindsight sure is 20/20 vision, selling buying back in, selling again and buying back again,
im sure there are a lot of people jumping their funds around as the value goes up and down!!

interesting times ad more to come too i think Wink

It is not about btc. All known altcoins are in race to raise one by one. Yesterday etc today ltc tomorrow maybe monero who knows. But in lıng term all will raise like hell

This basically has nothing to do with a bull market. The fundamentals of LTC are very clear, anything under $50 is very undervalued.

Do you guys really think that LTC will toucg $40 USD soon ? Please tell me what you really thinks about LTC. I know crypto is unstable, uncertain. Anything may happen in LTC. I think we will see LTC @ BTC0.02



LTC does, what BTC does want to do now. And IMHO, now it most undervalued. Today Coinbase happened, in a week SegWit, after or at the same time Lightning Network and so on. And what BTC? Nothing.

there was a LTC flash-crash. i hope it goes up again. my buy orders were executed.

and yes, that why: 2348/3277 (71.65%) blocks signaling! 6048 out of 8064 (75%) blocks are required to activate.

Long term I think buying here at .0085 might not be the worst thing you could do but short-term I don't personally see any upside until there is some positive news regarding segwit signaling or the UASF.

UASF might split the coin though, so the fundamental definition of what LiteCoin is might change in an instant, just like ETH and ETC.

As long as asic boost profiteers have a major incentive to block segwit on ltc but more importantly btc it's a risky bet... Long-Term Litecoin holders are still up over 100% from the pre-speculative price rise.
