I see that phrase everywhere in discussions of litecoin. Please explain what it means. I don't get it.

It's not convenient to use gold to make small purchases, so you need silver. With bitcoins, small purchases are not an issue. So....


because there are 4 times more litecoins then bitcoins, like with gold and silber. (there is 4 times more silver then gold...)
litecoins are the coins for the little man and easy to mine Smiley - thats it.

BTC/LTC relationship is a very temporary, tenuous situation lasting months...
Not remotely comparable to the gold/silver relationship lasting millenia.

And MG, thanks for outing yourself as a nut/ignore.

It's a cliché.

But I see a purpose for litecoin as the principal scrypt coin with an ASIC-free mining environment.
