Topic: The fate of Litecoin - page 2. (Read 2140 times)

exactly! people should have learnt how to predict from DAO and hacking, but pumping is for selling, and who cares

Predicting something is very difficult but you can minimise mistake with looking for trusted information.

litecoin has a good price now, and i think it is good to, as well as the other alt coins there, and one thing i can say that litecoin has a potential too so litecoin has a good future for eveyone who invested on it too.

Dude...  Its very hard for us to predict on what will happen on something...

Here, let me give you a real world example. You know those new miners from bitmain that were on sale and everyone wanted one? We had to fight for it and order quickly. Guess who got them first? Bitcoin payers or Litecoin payers?



spoiler alert: I used both, Litecoin goes through way faster than bitcoin. And guess what? If you opened an order with Bitcoin and your transaction got stuck in the mempool? You're screwed son because that shit might take 1-2 hours to confirm. And the person who paid with Litecoin probably got your miner

I don't think I need to say this again (since I don't make any money off this) but.........as a user of both coins (I don't invest (read: speculate) I can say with ease that Litecoin is much easier , faster, and cheaper to use than Bitcoin. Just because something is priced high doesn't mean its better.......to me anyways. For most of you guys here, you're crypto enthusiasts and thats good. I do keep the original Bitcoins that I mined a long time ago. But it is getting very difficult to see a future with Bitcoin in it. Think about it truly: I challenge all of you to live with bitcoin, actually have to use it and depend on it for 1 week, see how that goes. I have switched to Litecoin for being my digital currency. I can send money anywhere in the world cheaply (at 5 cents USD) and it gets there in less than 5 minutes. Now that is something I can see myself using in my daily life in the future. Even if you people say stuff like : oh its a clone, well I don't see anyone using Internet Explorer anymore, and google chrome is just a clone of internet explorer!

You know for a bunch of technophiles, this community does seem to be very anti-progressive.

But then again, People are very irrational when it comes to their money. I personally thought this technology was supposed to help people, not become a platform for getting rich quick.

Have you actually ever used both? LTC has always had an advantage over BTC with faster confirmation times. Anyone who doesn't understand this has more patience than 99 percent of the human race. If you're in that 1 percent group I congratulate you for being the better person.

I think that with multiple versions of segwit and the 2mb hardfork near in the future, I think LTC is still a strong pick for hedging against BTC

Ltc's future might not be bad since it has a potential to grow up more, but like you said no one might use ltc when segwit was the only advantage it has on btc. Even if that's the case, people might use ltc for hedging purposes because litecoin is a good coin to buy when altcoin price movements becomes to crazy since it seldomly pumps or dump.

Litecoin has a good investor, I think they can give something different in the future, long term investment for litecoin I think would be very good considering litecoin has promising investors

It appears that LTCs leadership is good for BTC. That hasn't changed.

I hold BTC and LTC, both are great, original, decentralized coins.

LTC showed a positive price moving. I think longterm it still very good. Also soon lighting network adoption will come. Thats mean atomic swap  between BTC/LTC.

I have questioned this before and here's one of the better reply and explanation apart from the usual LTC is better than BTC for sure!

From beginning I have been saying this and That bitcoin has no competitors mong the crytocurrency. Litecoin activation of segwith has not help it either. I have never think that litecoin has any advantage over other bitcoin as bitcoin served as a gold standard to others crytocurrency including litecoin most of the features we see in most coins are copy from bitcoin.

I think Litecoin will sustain, just because of speculation. There are still people investing in things having no doubts what it is.

impossible.

just said as the creation thread "Litecoin is the lite version of Bitcoin".

your trade of ltc to btc would be worth in someways. it's really hard to predict because when aug1 comes, btc may split into two.

yes that sounds right.
I think is true that they will be tradable against each other also.
I like Litecoin and what the developers are doing, it was the second
currency I bought into so I have faith in it now.

Litecoin is actually the lite version of bitcoin, you can think litecoin as the testnet of the bitcoin but I think litecoin might be very different in the future.
