Topic: Which is a better long term investment? Bitcoin or Litecoin? (Read 7387 times)

why are you talking about dogecoin here , go to the alt section with all the losers and talk about it there .


dogecoin got forked 3 times in 3 months , that coin is horrible and the price reflects that .


troll will tell you anything to try and convince you not to buy litecoin and buy clonecoins instead.

No doubt that the future is for Bitcoin , so if you look forward you can see that btc is a good long term investment as it's bigger and it has been existing longer. As for LitcoinI can tell that it's quite wise to have some investments in litecoins, as it's always better to have alternative investments

I recommended to buy already about a week ago.

a) All cryptos are just pumps. Those win most who understand the pumps.
b) Opening at new markets, that have large volume, is THE thing that brings value to cryptos.

I got mixed reactions, do people suggest (others to buy litecoin or not)?

[Some say Huobi is just a pump, some say LTC will get acquired by new exchanges]

What suggestions would you have (for someone like me)?

I agree this will be a reason for a pump as we can see clearly on the charts.. Also the next doge halving is right around the corner too.  So get the most crypto ya can kids,  next time we play big bank takes little bank!

litecoin is a nice deal at the moment.
13 hours til huobi adds ltc http://countingdownto.com/countdown/huobi-ltc-moon-landing-2014-03-19-countdown-clock

ofc there will be a pump and dump incoming, so sell at the right moment but if you miss it you can hold til asics will push the price again next months.

so not much to lose with ltc right now imo.

Or as do as LTC fanatics do just, grub grub grub all the grimin silver LTC

Buy the rumor sell on the the news.

Its BTC-e up in here right! Buy Buy all the shitty LTC its silver man!

hahah , keep spreading false info

Like I said this is a short term lead.. Doge volume passes LTC most the time

yup sell right before it hit the worlds biggest exchange , you know how to make money bro


then you'll buy toliet paper to wipe the tears when you wake up 1 day and see litecoin over $100 and your shitty scamcoin is dead.

Litecoin continues to go up but the volume is dropping away rapidly.

Now, and I mean RIGHT NOW, is a time to sell LTC, not to buy. Longer term, I have no idea, but looking at the short term charts right now, LTC is a definite sell.

Think I will just abide.. never gonna buy Litecoin no joke

this.

but i must say, my target was 0.03 like i posted some days ago, but i am not sure if i really sell now
i think i keep 50% ltc (for a bit longer), actually i am 100% ltc.

rofl thats some funny mod! 

buy litecoin now or cry later.

Nothing is breaking, it's not first or last time LTC is having pump due to some news. There were several pumps like this one before due to Gox rumors, LTC going to Huobi means nothing really except it's good excuse for pump.

LTC had just 2 huge pumps and both were in time of BTC bubbles when lot of NEW money entered crypto world.

Litecoin is going into different direction because it is right in the middle of news driven pump, same as ones we saw like 5 times with LTC to Gox rumours.

LTC going from 0.025 to 0.035 and back is as usual as sun in the summer.

I would tend to agree, we have had a bit of a crypto-fad based upon late adopters wanting to emulate the 'success' of Bitcoin, but with most of them amounting to nothing but pump n dump schemes. From what I can tell, 99% of them will have proven bad investments for the majority of people who invested in them. Aside from opening pump n dump phases, nearly all of them are trading down against Bitcoin, which itself is down. Fads come and go. Alt-coin fad has come, now is as good a time as any for it to go. Fuck You Bill Still and those 3500 Quark I bought on the strength of your recommendation at the height of the mania........was making so much money at the time, I didn't give a shit whether I lost or won with them, but now, I would rather have my 0.5 BTC back, which has itself halved in value since then.

Recently however, for about the first time I can remember, Bitcoin and Litecoin have went in opposite directions. Fuck all the other alt-coins. If there is another viable alternative at this point in time it is Litecoin and perhaps Litecoin is going in completely different direction from Bitcoin at the moment because Litecoin hasn't had all the corruption and theft that Bitcoin has suffered and perhaps most crucially, There isn't anyone sitting out there with hundreds of thousands of stolen or seized Litecoins, looking for good opportunities to dump them on the market?

I find that LocalBitcoins can be a good acid test for demand in the real non trading economy and from what I can see, the UK traders are cutting their own throats right now. 2%-3% premiums over Stamp. Considering that most UK based people have to pay 3% - 5% premium to convert GBP into a currency that can be used on an exchange, this tells me that there is a huge supply of Bitcoin in off exchange economy and not too much demand. Again, in a market saturated with stolen coins trying to cash out without being detected as stolen coins, this is the sort of scenario that I would imagine with LocalBitcoins, and a scenario that could go on for a very long time, as traders slowly scrape some very thin slices of arbitrage from a steady leakage of stolen Bitcoin looking to convert into Fiat.
