many early btc adopters have a big stake in LTC seeing it as the silver to gold
If that were true, XMR would be platinum.
I like this one as a marketing gimmick
Would we be the first coin to claim this?

Because 2014 is almost over, let's do some wild predictions
Your bitcoin predictions are depressing. $600/btc in 2015?
Well first of all, it's only simplistic speculation (don't only fools do that?
). So many factors in play it's nearly impossible to make a educated guess. Having said that, I think (as was discussed above) that there's this gradual shift from pure speculation to adoption/usability. The VC-funding and the many entrepeneurs in the ecosphere play a big role here, but also the current users being ambassadors. If we can 'up' our base from ~100 in 2013, ~300 2014 to ~600 in 2015 I'd say we've done quite (extremely!) well. This doesn't mean permanent sideways action in this region, it'll probably be with spikes and valleys since this is bitcoin. Fixed supply vs fluctuating demand. Maybe a rally to 800 and some lows in the 300-400. Think what it'll do to the image as well. Leaving the infancy-period and getting a bit more stable price-wise with the years passing. Then if BTC will go into it's adolescence period we'll see growth spurts.
This is by far the largest 1 week gain (as %) since the FUD storm era. Anyone who bought below 001 and does not want to hold for the long run should probably sell now. Preferably, to me.
On a tear... 0.0013
Fairly pleased with my doubling down @ .0010x range now, though the dip to 0.00091 had me a bit shocked immediately after
If I was a trader I might even take some profits here. So far though, I haven't figured out how to sell, only buy.
It is possible to sell?!
I guess poloniex disabled that feature for me in these regions..
). It's not much, and all you whales will make fun of me, but it adds up over time and I still really like the coin and the people who are involved in it. (and obviously the conversations in this topic)
As for whales making fun of you because of the cost averaging amount, I very much doubt it, what is far more likely however is that you become a whale. Many whales got started with small amounts and not just in crypto-currency.
