just a few months ago, LTC was trading at 6 cents per litecoin.. while BTC was 100+. LTC has exponentially multiplied, probably based on speculation.. but still. i was going to buy $100 worth but got too lazy to make a purchase.. i really, really regret it now. but what can i do? life goes on. argh, i would have 1666 coins now.

LTC in terms of BTC over time. http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/period-charts.php?period=alltime&resolution=day&pair=ltc-btc&market=btc-e

HODL OR DIE
lol at all the ltc hate

Indeed.  I find the anti-LTC FUD to be most odd.  The differences in architecture are important and more than enough to justify its existence alongside BTC.  Scrypt may prove a wiser choice than SHA-256 in the longterm; it may not.  Point being none of us really know right now and ruling LTC out as just another 'also-ran' would be quite unwise IMHO.



LTC seems like a cheap copy where the creator has been able to benefit immeasurably off the back of genius. That said, I agree with your sentiment. Any opinion on weighting LTC to BTC holdings?

LTC is silver to BTC gold. I would expect LTC to perform over time with respect to BTC in a manner similar to that of silver with respect to gold.

Its very obvious at this point that BTC is back in a upwards trend.

Do I have to repeat myself no one believed my post earlier and it wasn't posted that long ago.

LTC is the largest threat to crypto. If it wins, everyone loses.  Not even jokin' mang. It needs to crash. Not I want but we need.

If you want to see how irrational people who claim to be "rational" can be, just find yourself a litecoin user. They gain no benefit from using litecoin except providing some funding to BTC-E in ways of fees and give the public and investors a reason to be skeptical.
It used to me that we could laugh off queries about why someone couldn't just make up a new coin that would make theirs worth less. We'd laugh and say "because people aren't so stupid as to actively ruin their own investments!" Our laughter is a lot more nervous now. Turns out people are so stupid.
The only possible goal of litecoin is to make all cryptocurrency worth nothing in the long term.


Hey man, it's a free market remember. Surely you support competition, competing currencies give more choice, and we all know how you libertarian types like choice. Why can't Litecoin users, or the users of the 5000 cryptocurrencies there will probably be in a few years, be allowed to magic value from thin air just like Bitcoin users?

We really need to get that mBTC switch done so that people can stop buying LTC thinking it's "cheap".

I have tried catching the fall every time, but lately, I constantly find I would have been better off just holding them. Guess that's what I'll do from now on  Roll Eyes
