Honestly, what a coin.

I posted my love for LTC on /biz/ when ETH was mooning hard in May and you all laughed at me.

WELL YOU'RE NOT LAUGHING NOW ARE YOU

Great price, copy of BTC technology, faster transactions.

And look at that price stability.

Market volatility just doesn't touch this beauty.

I've rode out the last 3 dips by converting to LTC and my portfolio has grown every time.

I'm tempted to just bag hold LTC for a few months/years.

Charlie Lee, take me to the moon.

Stay with the strong and stable gains

As BTC grows the value of 1 satoshi rises, thus I think overtime LTC will replace BTC as the base coin that is used in exchanges.

>> No.2551811

>>2551677
Agreed. Picked up 200 LTC sub $30. Good times ahead for us lad. I remember shilling ETH here when it was $40 and /biz/ fucking laughed at me. Who's laughing now niggers? LTC will break $100 by the end of this year.

Why would anyone think this coin will replace BTC once segwit gets activated...

>> No.2551868

>>2551835

Because it's in greater supply, hence lower value.

BTC will be your savings account, LTC will be your current (checking) account.

Accept this, it will be a fact.

OP, why do you work so hard to keep the "OP is a faggot" meme alive?
You don't hold just one coin, you don't pledge allegiance to any one coin. Do you bow and follow USD or EURO or whatever fiat money as a fucking cult? Obviously not. Then why the fuck are you doing it with crypto?
Fuck that. Diversify. Prepare for those times that shit will hit the fan and never ever suck any coin dev dick because this is an every man for himself market.

Are you literally retarded? You're the one using physical analogies to argue for LTC

The reality is LTC has no use after SegWit+LN, being cheaper has no advantage for highly divisible digital assets

>> No.2552417

I somehow managed to move bigly out of ETH and into LTC a few days ago, just in the nick of time. Enjoying the current movement after an exhausting day. Almost shat myself watching ETH even though I'm not holding.

I referred to BTC as savings and LTC as checking account, you're the window licker who complained that 1 SAT doesn't equal 1 cent.

Also, who says either BTC or LTC has a "use" now?

Right now BTC is more widely accepted but LTC will catch up once BTC forks. (It will fork, the Chinese are too stubborn to allow SegWit and LN)

Once mainstream adoption takes place people will prefer use LTC for daily transactions.

You're forgetting about transaction fees. There is always a cost of maintaining the network. The more expensive the coin, the more expensive the transaction fees.

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

>For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 0.0009492 BTC

>>2552312
>The reality is LTC has no use after SegWit+LN, being cheaper has no advantage for highly divisible digital assets

Wrong. If both coins are equal in software, the one that is valued less has lower transaction fees. So >>2551868 still holds. If every BTC transaction is expensive, you will only do big transactions with it and use LTC for day-to-day transactions.

>0.0009492 BTC
This is literally $2.52 for the median transaction as of now.
>>2552022
>BTC would need a marketcap of 20 Trillion for 1sat to even be worth 1cent
If 1 sat = 1 cent, it means the median BTC transaction fee would be $940.92

Hopefully this clears up how a coin increasing in value too much will force people into other coins.

>> No.2554121

>>2552312

I thought being cheaper and faster was one of the main problems with bitcoins scaling right now?

I know it's not just me that doesn't want to keep paying 5 dollar fees.

Litecoin will probably always have a place in crypto but right now I am seeing it as a sort of test net for features that will probably be added to bitcoin later on. So in this case the fact that it is fundamentally very similar to bitcoin is an advantage imo.

Im guessing its a release date for lightening network? Charlie made a post today on twitter linking to a yours.org article that was behind a 10 cent paywall which you had to pay with litecoin. The part you could see before the pay wall said "I have recently come across litecoins killer app" behind the pay wall it say "you are using it right now : P"

So I think he's probably referring to lightening and microtransactions? we will see I guess

I dont think their implementation of lightening is available to the general public.

I'm not sure how it is supposed to work exactly. Is it going to be a separate App or will it be integrated into existing litecoin wallets? etc...?
