Easy one here:

- If you need the money, sell your LTCs and grab the fiat.

- If you don't, keep them.

We're not talking about any huge amount of money, so if you lose it (provided you can afford to, which is rule #1), it won't be much of a disaster. If your investment turns out to be profitable, you'll be glad you didn't sell them.

Keep the LTC, at least until the LTC/BTC ratio is high enough to net you a profit. Although the two seem to mirror each other with rises and declines, there are some windows that allow you to get more BTC than you started off with. I have done this several times.

If BTC "fails", LTC won't be too far behind anyways... But the opposite isn't necessarily true as well.

Very good point!

If you're even considering it, just do the switch.

Why not keep the LTC and buy a Bitcoin? LTC may be good to keep hold of, it's still essentially the second best. How much did you pay for them?

I got in at about $8, I guess im just worried in case they go to shit and I could have cashed out for a profit and moved to BTC... already gutted I didnt sell 'em at $50 Smiley

(I do have just over a BTC already too)

you should not ask nobody what to do with your money.

You should think about it for yourself on your own.

Nobody here is a oracle.

So maybe you should just figure it out on your own.

Hey all

This has been bothering me for a while and my doubts are getting stronger. I have 36 LTC which is worth nearly 1 BTC at current prices, in the longer term investment would it be best to sell them and buy the equivalent BTC? I did think that LTC would always be a strong 2nd to BTC and slowly  increase on that 2% margin but as time goes on im not so sure.

What do you think?

BTW I made the post here rather than the LTCtalk forum to avoid any "to the moon" type opinions Smiley
