I've seen alot of threads about Ethereum/Monero/Dash, but what do you guys think about Litecoin? Is it a sleeping giant? Maybe once the Bitcoin halving occurs and the price shoots up, Litecoin will follow. Please leave your thoughts/predictions below.  Smiley

Well your looking at a small time frame.
This is Litecoin chat central.. go count how many topics there are about them.

Then let's estimate how many are drama with accusations of Scam.
Very few !

Then let's factor in the user base of Altcoins is kids with ADD with money to burn who care about nothing but profits NOW !

You know how many times i have heard while discussing Altcoin with people that XYZ coin is "boring" ?
A lot !

In order to amuse & entertain the kid buying Altcoins (yes children / Altcoins are mostly for babies with Doge coin)
You have to implement some sort of Flashing colors and honking horns or something.

"Jiggle Daddy's Keys"



..would be popular coin IPO for example.

So rather than rehashing things people don't want to re-type out what they have already on LTC ..again.
I think LTC can be considered more on the longer term when it comes to projections etc.
It's not a pyramid scheme for pumpers and impatient Kidiots.

Note: I have none and haven't for a loooong time but i support LTC Smiley

I also take issue with the grand assumption that When BTC halves it will for sure sky rocket in value.
This is no rule at all.
But there may be an element of self-fulfilling prophecy about it though.
Since the BTC crowd is waiting for some activity then this might MAKE it happen.. get it ?

Tale LTC or PPC etc ..not enough happens with them that amuses kids so they get bored & wander off dumping / ignoring.
When in reality you should be concerned with what coins WORK and have potential for mass adoption.
AND.. what is likely to get big one day.. which i think is going to *potentially be an older coin rather than over complicated crap like ETH, BTC, Monero etc.

Notice i didn't get into talking about Litecoin to much ?
Use the forum search button for the best possible info to aggregate.

EDIT:
Also confident supporters & dev's etc do not NEED to hype & spam on about a coin..
..such as Monero with their advertising shenanigans or Dash attacks.. 725 page "Speculation" topic ? ROFL

yes litecoin has one thing over all the alts; trust.

trust is pretty important to currency, all the innovation to sell snake oil hype makes some coins have a small moments of shine, but trust is needed for longterm survival as a genuine currency.

Bitcoin and Litecoin are still the 2 most trusted coins to date...nobody is even sure if Ethereum can truly stand on its own as yet or if it's a fly by night project.

I think you are correct when you said that Litecoin is a sleeping giant.Minimal movement as of now,something on hibernating stage.Traders prefers fast moving coins where they can profit.

After halving,Im expecting Litecoin to gain also.

After the reality hits that the 2.0 coins are mostly hyped scams. Maybe the community will come back to the proof-of-work coins such as Litecoin and Monero.

Selling ETH and buying Litecoin and XMR might end up being a good trade at some point?

I would guess that good old speculation aside, the present alt bonkersdom is based on predicted future utility. It's over a couple of years since the last one and look how much more has been learnt and how much more interest there is from businesess, governments etc.

That's where major explosions are likely to be born. While I'm not educated or sold on ETH and friends, speculators are going to follow the potential and LTC doesn't have much of it right now. I'm sure there's room for LTC to rise but if you're looking for a buck there are far sexier prospects in the short term.
