>Commonly accepted most places BTC is accepted

LTC is not going to 1000x because of some buying spree - it's already one of the most widely-held coins. It is going to 1000x because of enhanced inflation that devalues all currencies...but unlike other coins that tend to be more volatile, LTC's inherent stability will mean that it holds at or close to its current level, it's going to exchange for $60K+ as the currency values implode.

>If that's true for LTC then all cryptos will be the same
Not so. See the part about LTC being remarkably stable for crypto. Its stability comes from it being a vehicle for transfers of BTC and other expensive to transact crypto. Meaning it is cheaper to send LTC and buy BTC than it is to send BTC directly.

You would definitely get a surge, then a sharp pullback on that selling, then the surge that comes after will push through. As I said before, litecoin is widely trusted it just doesn't get much attention. It really is the true essence of what crypto was originally presented to be - a private, decentralized currency.

Those who are holding LTC, whom I am one, may sell a portion but not our entire stack. There may be a percentage of bagholders from the one and only surge to $400+ a while ago, who bought in at any price above $100. But these people should wait just a bit longer when they see LTC shoot up initially instead of trying to cut unrealized losses.

>what conditions exactly

The one I explained in my OP: litecoin is factually one of the best cryptos out there, and it has a huge number of holders which lends to its relative price stability.

Because litecoin is resistant to sell-offs just as it is to huge rallies, its price will rise as the buying power of fiat exchange currencies diminishes. It is already known that there is a conspiracy by the IMF to cause hyperinflation in "first world" countries, many of whom have agreed to have settlements in USD.

Bitcoin's biggest problem is its super slow, super expensive transactions, and the fact that it's already exchanging for a very high rate. I could realistically see LTC and BTC swap exchange rates for USD that is, in 2025 or whenever the rugpull on the fiat currencies commences.

Because litecoin is what bitcoin promised to be, and the majority of its holders are individuals and small businesses. I accept litecoin for my business and I have been since the scamdemic.

The reason litecoin isn't blowing up is due to a lack of manipulation of its price by financial institutions. It's often used as a vehicle for transferring other cryptos between exchanges and such, because it is so fast and cheap.

With MWEB it's also fairly private and secure. No need for crypto tumblers that just inflate transactions times and costs.

I used to do this until I realized that there are other faster, cheaper cryptos for doing exactly this. Like Solana for instance. So I stopped using LTC for cross-exchange transfers.
The unfortunate truth is that Litecoin's 2.5-minute confirmation times aren't "fast" in today's world. You can really start to feel the difference between it and a network with instant transactions, especially if you use crypto often enough.

>> No.58969805

Possible but not likely to happen. It has good support at $50-$55.

>>58969786
Solana swings wildly and will probably crash back down to the teens. There is a huge bear flag on the daily chart. I guess if instant transaction times are your focus then it's better in that regard, but it's rally is artificial, driven largely by coinbase offering 20% interest for holding it.

>> No.58969824

I was more looking at it from a utility standpoint. Litecoin's just not fast. I could write a novel here about why Litecoin sucks from a speed and scalability standpoint but I won't even bother because >>58967123 already summed it up by mentioning kaspa. Anyone who's aware of the existence of kaspa's technology knows it's already over for litecoin and going the way of the fax machine

I'm not going to get into debates about the flavor-of-the-week shitcoin that some pajeet made up.

Fact is - fax machines are still relevant today. Sending documents by fax is equivalent (legally) to certified mail. The fool might say "email replaced fax" but to date documents sent by email can only have legal relevance if there is consent to receive service by email.

Kaspa here today, gone tomorrow. Litecoin has proven resilient and has huge transactional volume so "poor scaling" myths need not apply.

Looking at the daily LTC-USD chart back to 2017, I am not overly concerned about a -90% drop. The chart supports my claim of Litecoin's remarkable stability.

Also worth noting that all big moves were up.

>Litecoin has proven resilient and has huge transactional volume
Litecoiners live in a world of cope where LTC is "fast" and does "huge transactional volume".
Reality:
>it takes 15 minutes to do a transaction on Litecoin (6 confirmations), making it nowhere near one of the best cryptocurrencies for quick transfers
>It has never done more than 1.3 million on-chain transactions in a day (source: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/litecoin-transactions.html#3y)) and is in fact incapable of doing more than ~5 million or so with is 54 tps throughput. That's not really "huge transactional volume" for a global network
The other selling points you've come up with for LTC are fine. It's old, it's got pretty widespread adoption, people trust it. It's shown long-term stability. Fine. But it's not fast or scalable. It wasn't even fast/scalable for 2014, let alone now.

Litecoin has the same exact speed and scalability issues as Bitcoin, fundamentally. They just sped the block time up by 4x, but that comes with other tradeoffs such as slightly weakening the security by increasing the stale block rate. It's fundamentally not an improvement over BTC, but rather a trade-off. And there's some really dumb money in LTC that doesn't seem to understand that and seems to think that Litecoin is some kind of holy grail that solves Bitcoin's speed/scalability issues.

MWEB allows transactions to be bundled and processed together, meaning faster throughput for a given number of blocks as it's not just one block per transaction, but one block per several transactions. Even if it were two transactions per block that's effectively doubling capacity...but who is complaining about litecoin's speed when it is the fastest and cheapest reputable crypto?

You are also getting caught up in specs and minutia that do not matter. For the people who use litecoin, it is fine as-is. Credit card payments are not instant as they will not clear for 2-3 business days. The holds are instant, but so what? You still don't actually get paid the same day, let alone in minutes.

Kaspa and all other shitcoins/memes are not catching up to either BTC or LTC. Technically better doesn't matter when the trust isn't there, and these jeetcoins are like the rest - pump and dump after fleecing people out of money by selling them on unnecessary features.

The bottom line is this: about 65% of litecoin is held by normal people, not institutions. Dumb money is gambling on things like kaspa taking off and gaining meaningful traction, when reality says it is likely just to fizzle out as it doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Your theory failed and the pattern morphed into a bull flag. The daily chart provides the most accurate picture of any crypto due to the inherent volatility and the fact that the the price is not the "value" but the "exchange rate".

The litecoin chart I posted suggests that at worst holding litecoin will break even and pace with inflation. The potential for 1000x is the culmination of several unique factors.

People like you deserve to stay poor because of your sheer laziness.
Litecoin has no actual value over BTC and the market sees that. It offers no significant speed or scalability advantage. BTC and LTC are both slow and unscalable. Except BTC is actually good as a store of value, while LTC does nothing but bleed.
In terms of actual utility, Litecoin is shit. And I say that as someone who's used it hundreds of times for "quick" transfers. I don't use it anymore because, unlike in 2018, there are better options for doing cross-exchange transfers now.
LTC was and is mogged by a coin that came later than it, yet offered actual innovation/value/utility that Bitcoin didn't: Ethereum. The fact that Ethereum's market cap is 70x that of Litecoin's, despite not being around as long, shows that your argument is BS. Younger alts can and do outperform LTC in both the short AND the long term.
