LTC will be before ETH in my opinion.

dannygladiolas

I do not know, but what I like LTC it is accepted on all CEX with a fraction of cents.

Why? BTC and ETH are intended to be high price. Just use a low fee alternative like LTC, BCH or XMR.

WR3CKONER

I agree from an investment standpoint that it may never hit a large market cap like BTC or ETH, but from a decentralized/privacy standpoint and store of wealth/currency XMR can’t be beat. Also I get that binance is the largest CEX in the world, that XMR is being banned in the EU, but that’s because they’re afraid of it. Wasn’t the point of crypto to be your own bank and not have the government know your financial moves? I would like to also add LTC/BCH to my portfolio once I get a chance. For now I’m holding XMR and it is definitely incredibly undervalued, and I respectfully disagree that privacy coins will not survive. You don’t need an CEX to purchase XMR. XMR is what Bitcoin was meant to be.

You re more than correct. And you miss the few actual "useful"cryptos such as 1. Monero 1. LTC/BCH 1. BTC 1. ETH

If you liked BTC, you can use similar public coins such as BCH, LTC, ... there are many possibilities. If you don't want to support ASIC manufacturers and Chanalysis, then try Monero.

Buy a small amount of something else and swap if you can't find a reliable exchange. Simpleswap has it listed at the time of this post 1 LTC would get you 13.4 TON. Can swap as little as .25 LTC ($20)

PushTheButtonPlease

Has anyone said LTC or BCH yet? If so, never mind.

NightKnight_CZ

Litecoin is going to be used more and more... 99% will be out-priced of BTC. BTC for large transactions, nations, corporates etc... Litecoin for all whole of Asia, South America, Eastern Europe, Africa, normal daily usage. LTC is going to $1000+

Hurricane_Ivan

I'll be prioritizing the following (greatest to least): * LCX * QNT * LINK * XMR * ATOM Maybe a bit into LTC too.

LTC, Jasmy, XYO , ALGO and SWFT for the what the hell why not play

Welcome to the reddit crypto community, we eat the young here. Be prepared to be met with just downvotes as you first start learning. [Binance](https://academy.binance.com/en) is a good place to start learning. The market though generally is like a giant sea, the tide rises and falls about the same way everywhere. There will be a few outperformers compared to others, but do your research, there will almost always be a reason for this. BTC sets the trend generally, and then all the others like ETH, LTC and SOL and so on follow that trend.

Whiskeywonder

Decentralized doesn’t mean it will perform as a monetary safe haven. Really only Bitcoin has that position. You can argue for ETH and a few major alts and even LTC but they can all grow out of favor. Bitcoin is the only real crypto to trust in this area.

# Considering the following, thoughts? If you had to choose one which would it be? RPL LTC CHZ QNT LRC

Fret not. I just sold 75% of my BTC for LTC

AQSAHI1

Lost almost every thing in binance [futures.My](http://futures.My) entire portfolio got liquidated over night was 30x long on LTC. Learned my lesson always use stop loss on trades. I know many of you guys are holders and not traders. But i want to share this with some one. Any of you guys have incident like that. This is my first time commenting here. Been here for a long time just reading what people think here but today i just want wanted to share my loss and a lesson that never trade without stop loss. Peace

Familiar_Television1

Yes. Sold BTC and ETH to buy the dip of LTC. BTC/ETH won’t be doing more than a 2x in a year. LTC can easily 5x.

Shot-Crew-8383

Just use LTC. It was designed to be a decentralized form of payment. It already dethrone Bitcoin this year. More people are using it because it cost pennies for tranactions.  https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/5143826628449

Shot-Crew-8383

Nah I just keep buying LTC. Since Grayscale is buying millions of it daily. Also because it claimed top spot for payments in Bitpay. Wild that Bitcoin is no longer the main crypto to pay goods for. 

Shot-Crew-8383

LTC #1 baby! If you didn't know Litecoin has dethrone Bitcoin in bit payment last month 41% to 25%. Since it cost pennies to use versus Bitcoin which cost dollars. 

Shot-Crew-8383

Literally the sleeping giant. I can't imagine any other Crypto having the gull to surpass Bitcoin and be ignored. People sleeping hard on Litecoin. The whole point of BTC was to be decentralized and another form of currency. It became a centralized storage of wealth. Now Litecoin is decentralized and has overtaken Bitcoin as king for payments and transactions. With a market cap of under 8 billion???? Crazy. Grayscale keeps buying thousands of LTC daily for its trust it has 128 million in LTC. People talk about utility all the time well here is finally, a crypto that beat and stood up to BTC and has better real-time utility. Watch as LTC continues to dominate because it costs pennies to use versus bitcoin which costs dollars.

vekypula

LTC and BCH pumping were again top signals. See you in 4

gr8ful4

Normies if at all will buy BTC via ETF. That will give BlackRock tremendous control. And even worse normies will think of BTC as an asset in their portfolio, not a currency they could use as an alternative. BTC is mainstream. If you are interested in crypto*currency* as a means to speculate on doption as an alternative to USD/EUR you might want to look at Monero (and LTC/BCH).

InHaUse

For me it's BitBox02 for a few reasons: 1. It's open source. 2. The company is headquartered in Switzerland which supports privacy, at least way more than most other governments. 3. You can make SD card backups. 4. It can store BTC, ETH, LTC, and a few others. 5. When I was researching which wallet to get, I came across some dubious/concerning info about Trezor which is why I picked the BitBox02. I keep by other short-term/swing holdings directly on Coinbase with a strong password and 2FA. If you're someone with a ton of coins and need everything to be on hardware wallet, your options are limited so probably Trezor would be best for you.

Shot-Crew-8383

Is LTC not #1 in payment processing for Bitpay? 41% versus 25%. Months ago they surpass BTC by a mere percent 35% to 36%. Now the margins are growing wider. 

Shot-Crew-8383

Again no LTC? Why do we gloss over an important year for an undervalued Crypto?  LTC became #1 for crypto currency surpassing Bitcoin. That's huge and relvelant news.  https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/65f1c8be185fbc5c41ed5210/

Shot-Crew-8383

I only look at LTC, since LTC dominates BTC as an actual cryptocurrency. #1 in payment and transactions : [https://twitter.com/litecoin/status/1768659114283110705](https://twitter.com/litecoin/status/1768659114283110705)

I just don’t see why anyone would use cryptocurrency as a payment option. Yes, I get that some countries do not allow payments in their currencies, and it is an opportunity to circumvent this, but regardless, cryptocurrencies are still just investments. Paying for anything in Bitcoin, ETH, LTC, is like paying for things with your NVIDIA stock. Why would anyone do this? Stable coin integration is likely the only crypto related payment option with will see go mainstream.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

They've already been using direct crypto payments for many years. So we're definitely not far lol, since it's already been a thing, and has been growing steadily for the last decade. Now there's Paypal and a lot of payment systems like Bitpay and Flexa to accept crypto, so a lot of businesses are gonna turn to those instead of just doing a direct wallet to wallet payment. I've used crypto payments, and volatility isn't an issue, because the payment is calculated in fiat. So you can use any crypto, and you'll pay the fiat value at the exact time you're paying. So you're never gonna pay double the value you'd pay with cash, or half the value or anything like that. I never felt the need to use stablecoins...maybe only deep in a bear market. I used XLM and LTC a lot more. They're stable enough to not be an issue, and are quick and cheap. As for tax and regulation, all sales transaction are taxed anyway, so a crypto transaction would just be like any normal cash transaction.

Centcoin

BTC > LTC > DOGECOIN > PEPECOIN same family, That's super duper. At last we have a real cryptocurrency and a real chance to become a millionaire. I'm hodling, fingers crossed.

DebianDog

Any other chain I have used? ETH, Matic, BNB, SOL, LTC, BTC. They all are single operation chains. On ADA if i want to move every coin and NFT in my wallet I can select them all and hit send. RUNE is multi chain but because it has to interact with the other chains it is oly as fast as they are. Are there other chain out there that you can vote with? I mean IDK. but so far ADA is the most efficient chain to use to do a bunch of various things while other chains excel at doing 1 thing well.

DangerHighVoltage111

Dude I gave you all the keywords. It's on you to look into it. I cannot argue again a believe. And >It's a shitcoin, Litecoin already existed and does all of that better. is just your believe because you haven't looked into it. e.G. has the same small block bug that ultimately limits what it can do. 0-conf is safer in BCH than on LTC. BCH has more real world adoption. But as I said nothing will convince a believe.

babyshark75

you held LTC hard...switched to ADA. Calling SOL trash while SOL pumping like a mofo. Yes you are a degen.

jathanism

Derived is in fact the underlying technical term. Ethereum wallets and any multi-coin (ones that to BTC, ETH, LTC, etc.) wallets can be generated from “HD” (hierarchical deterministic) wallets. Your seed phrase is essentially a master key from which an astounding amount (32 bits worth or nearly 4 billion) “accounts” can be derived. Each “account” can have 32 bits (again nearly 4 billion) of addresses derived from it. Each address has its own public/private key pair. So while you can generate a single Ethereum wallet on its own, HD wallets are probably the most common implementation for modern crypto wallets that use seed phrases because they allow you to “restore” your derived wallets. Check out the high level details on how HD wallets work here: [https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hd-wallet-hierarchical-deterministic-wallet.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hd-wallet-hierarchical-deterministic-wallet.asp) In other words, your seed phrase should never leak and should be protected at all costs, especially if you use it as a multi-coin wallet.

So in response to some advice already given, you can withdraw that USDT on the Polygon network **in your own wallet** but you'll still have to bridge it back to ETH network before you can deposit it on Coinbase. You will need ETH in that wallet to bridge it back to the ETH network and gas to send it to Coinbase as they only accept ERC-20 I'm in the UK and that flavour of Coinbase does not trade XLM or XRP. So it is best to check what you are allowed to trade on Coinbase before deciding on a strategy. Any other coin traded on Coinbase, which trades on the USDT pair in Binance, is probably best bet. Stick to L1s unless you're absolutely certain Coinbase will accept those tokens. LTC or SOL. We get ADA here but not sure if it's allowed on the US-flavour.

I found LTC best for actual payments

Sgt_Beef_McSwag

I believe in the project overall, I am just pissed that my price targets might not work out in the next 18 months. I love crypto - bought LTC when it was 3.50 in 2016 or sth and its one of the great projects. Actually wrote my bachelors degree on the safety of different consenus mechanisms.

Physics-Pool

None. Kucoin with VPN. Don't complete KYC. Buy LTC on PayPal and transfer to Kucoin..sell for USDT then buy and trade at will...on margin..and with every feature you'd expect to have as a freedom loving God fearing citizen of these United States.

Prior to that, I'd held a triple-digit position in LTC since ~2013. I did make money from this coin.

Perhaps I'll regret it one day. Perhaps not.* > >   > > * LTC is one of the "OG" coins. [As a fork of the Bitcoin protocol, it's been around almost as long.](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/litecoin.asp) It is a very secure coin, and utilizes [Proof of Work](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/proof-work.asp) through Scrypt to maintain that security. > > * This "early mover" advantage has allowed LTC to catapult into some very strong positions and use cases. I'd personally put it's [uses on the Paypal platform](https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/what-do-i-need-to-know-about-litecoin-faq4401) as one of it's strongest positions in the current financial zeitgeist.

It is faster than BTC, cheaper to use, and available for use basically everywhere relevant that BTC is. As far as trading platforms and "on-ramps" for converting fiat currency into cryptocurrency, LTC will get you where you want to go. While it is not worth as much as BTC, it's far more capable for doing what a cryptocurrency is "supposed" to do. Ya know, be a currency that doesn't cost silly amounts of fees to use and take forever to confirm. > > * LTC's development team is currently working on implementing [Mimblewimble](https://www.mycryptopedia.com/mimblewimble-explained/) capabilities to the coin. The quick and dirty for that is adding a "privacy feature" to LTC, as well as potentially solving scalability issues that could crop up one day if usage of the coin were to exponentially increase. Development is ongoing in 2021, and viability/efficacy is not fully determined as of this writing. > > * LTC follows the same [halving](https://stormgain.com/blog/litecoin-ltc-halving) protocol as BTC. This has correlated to price increases for the coin in a similar fashion to BTC after each of these "cycles". It stands to reason that LTC should see another price increase in the 2024-2025 time-frame, coinciding with the next halving [set to occur in Q3 2023](https://litecoinblockhalf.com/). There's math and wrinkly-brain reasons for why it takes some time for the halving process to reflect in the market price. You'd have to go searching; I don't really understand it.

My goal is to remain as unbiased as possible for these write-ups, and I will speak only to the positives of LTC in this thread. I encourage you, the reader, to view both sides and make an educated decision before investing in *any* crypto asset. > > * LTC offers a "tried and trusted" investment platform. If there was a stock to compare LTC to, it's the massive ETF or mutual fund that people put money into year after year and reliably draw a profit from. You will not see the insane fireworks of a DOGE pump, or the rug-pull of a [BITCONNEEEEECT](https://thenextweb.com/news/bitconnect-bitcoin-scam-cryptocurrency) when you put your money into LTC. You will get an investment that "should" make you money in the long run, and potentially set you up for some really solid gains in the future. > > * LTC is not the behemoth that BTC is within the crypto space. The intimidation that comes from the price-tag that BTC sometimes wields ($37K to own one coin at the time of this writing, 60K+ attained) can be a turn-off for the smaller investor still interested in owning a "full coin". While this mindset is considered by veterans within the space to be somewhat naive and counterproductive, it is a psychological aspect that affects many projects within crypto. LTC's ability to allow someone to jump in at a much lower price point and still feel like their investment is "effective" is certainly a strength. > > * LTC has been picked up in the 2021 bull-run by [large institutional entities](https://news.bitcoin.com/grayscale-adds-174000-ltc-to-its-litecoin-holdings-price-of-the-altcoin-unresponsive/), signalling some confidence in it's ability to generate income in some fashion for shareholders/investors. It remains to be seen how this action will play out, as the events are too closely aligned with the large correction in late May 2021 before the coin could pick up steam. [It briefly touched a high-300s price-tag](https://currency.com/litecoin-price-prediction-2021), and many of LTC's supporters believe that it was aiming to go higher before the entire market dropped. > >   > > LTC has carved out a solid niche for itself over the years, and a loyal base that wants to see it succeed. As with any investment into a volatile market like crypto, there's a good chance you could lose some money. That said, I would put the chances of it happening with LTC over the long run at a smaller percentage than some of the more risky or "unreliable" projects in the space. If you have patience and are looking for a low-stress coin with some realistic use cases and a good track record for ease-of-use and operability within the crypto-world, LTC may be the coin for you! ***** Would you like to learn more?

Criss_Crossx

2017 starter here, main issue was not understanding how to keep my funds safe. I knew wallets existed but just did not understand the basics or what to use for an exchange. Everything felt so foreign to drop $1k into it. I didn't trust it. At that time it was profitable to mine with GPUs, which bypassed exchanges. So I started mining on Nicehash. They eventually got hacked and I lost some of my earnings. That was a hard lesson. That $1k, I wanted to buy LTC around $4. That would have been an awesome lesson right there and I would have sold around the peak.

MyAccountForTrees

LTC…it could easily do 10x what it is now. BTC will never 10x from where it is currently.

GentlemenHODL

2012 entry here, on the path to becoming a billionaire AMA. First BTC was around $20-30 range; for the silk road, psychedelics are the reason I found BTC. Thanks LSD & 25-i! Not only some of the best experiences of my life, but also got me rich! Bought ETH IPO. I've got 1000x on ETH and 150-300x on most of my BTC bought; initially 40k but then traded and multiplied my stack nearly 10x. I used to margin trade on BTC-E with free 3x leverage, those were good times. I made some really lucky trades but my biggest luck was not having my BTC locked up in trades when they exited the market, could have lost it all. Sucks the market was used for bad actors but that's the price you pay for freedom and open access; both the bad and the good get to use it! For those who don't know there was a major US driven operation to shut it down, apparently hackers were using the exchange to launder ill gotten proceeds. I have about 20% of my BTC left and have not spent a single ETH. Did add about 1500 ETH to my stack staking the past few years. I liquidated most of my stack at the top of 2021 (70M) and started accomplishing my dreams. Bought my dream house, started diversifying my investments (one of which looks like another 1000x!). Now I'm working on many amazing businesses that will have positive impacts on humanity. I'm very philanthropic and want to spend 90% of the wealth I generate back into humanity through charity work. Focusing on research/science/technology initiatives that will make the world a better place hopefully reversing some of the damage we humans create. With my wealth I have the ability to continue holding which even where I think that BTC/ETH are going this bull run I will still have low 9 figures in crypto. One cool thing I have is nearly a "complete" casascius set of BTC. I don't have the 1000 coin unfortunately (or the 500 BTC bar of which there are only 2 made) but I have one of each denomination and even a few variants. I did grab one of the empty 2FA "1000" coins from Charlie Lee that Mike Caldwell custom made for him so that I could visually complete my set. It costed 14 BTC which at our current ATH makes it a 1M purchase. I do have some little regrets there but I'm hoping one day I can find a crypto billionaire who will buy my set and give me a huge premium to pay back some of that lost BTC. The face value of the entire set in BTC is 4M at current ATH, I think it's not unreasonable for a 25% premium for something that is now unobtainable! If I had a dime for every time someone tried to tell me that there's no way I could "be a millionaire" from crypto lol. Funniest part is it happens most of the time on *this sub* when I call into question people's advice/statements. When I try to explain that I've not only made a ton of $$$ but given great advice through the years that have gotten many people in my life rich I'm shamed for being a liar. And what good is it to "prove" it? The incentives are negatively aligned there. I become a target for karma? No thanks. Fortunately I have a background in Network Security so I'm great with my OpSec; a little too good, almost lost my stack 10 years ago with a overly complex password! What's really sad is how much hate there is on Reddit for successful people. I would have been a multimillionaire without crypto, I was already on that path. But with crypto it gave me the seed capital to become a billionaire with my other pro-social & environmentally positive projects; I expect within 6 years I will hit that 1B goal. I will use that money to fund grants for research, giving hard working academics a path to success to create a positive feedback loop for all the wealth I've earned. I didn't make money bleeding others dry, or stepping on people's faces to lift myself up. I didn't invest into oil or play zero sum games to fuck others laughing to the bank. Yes crypto has impacted climate change and I don't feel great about BTCs energy generation. I'm happier with ETH and the switch to PoS these days. I wish BTC would do the same though I do understand the negative trade-offs there. But I bought my BTC back when cryptos energy generation was a tiny slice compared to today! It wasn't even discussed in the media until after 2017. I was around to mock Roger Ver on Reddit live, what a little bitch boy he is. I stood by the core devs during the hard fork wars and called out Brian Armstrong for being a corporate lackey (he was a big block guy). I told Jihan Wu that his mom was unfuckable. Had great conversations with Charlie Lee about LTC and Satoshi. I've had great discussions with early Bitcoin developers. I tried mining ETH and made some good proceeds, then sold the equipment for a profit. I've ran many full nodes and contributed back. Al around I'm very happy with the way I chose to spend my time in this ecosystem!

jonatkinsps

I got LTC and ETH at 3 and 12 but sold BTC to do it and only $1000 of each, so neat but no millions making

You don't have to pick the next Amazon to make a profit with stocks. You can just buy an ETF like the S&P 500 and make an average of 10%/year, or if you spend time properly researching individual companies, reading their reports, etc. you have a good chance of picking some that will do considerably better than the average. Whereas with crypto it's just a gamble picking altcoins and even if you read their white paper and research the team and check the tokenomics, and you're convinced that they have a use case and good prospects, they can crash by 80%+ overnight, as indeed most have, including top 50 coins like LTC and ALGO.

> I don’t regret selling. The whole point is to sell and increase the quality of your life and not wait until you're filthy rich old man whose life has passed you by. BTC is a plays out in cycles of pumps and dumps. Alts play out in rugpulls, 99% of them scamming you with hype and lies, their only value appreciation comes riding the BTC bullrun wave. The best risk/reward play is to use BTC as a diversifier in your portfolio of stocks, bonds and real estate. I paid off my mortgage after the 2017/18 bullrun and was starting to loading up for the next bullrun in December 2018 > I am so glad I focused on paying off my mortgage in the bear market. Almost there and hopefully paid up by the time it's time to stock up for the next halvening bullrun https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/a3n8qb/priorities/eb7psti/ Bought my second house in April 2021 with people commenting that I got lucky. I've never sold the absolute top of a cycle, I have no idea where it is - and if you listen to experts, you're fucked. https://np.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/mviupv/paid_70k_20_over_asking_yes_it_appraised_yes_its/ I retired in 2022. Would I have more money now if I never ever sold? Yes that that is in hindsight and the point is to enjoy life and not stare at the charts worrying about the price of BTC and how big your stack is. Also remember the lure of Alts is that they outperform BTC. But the vast majority of people lose money on Alts because this is mostly fiction: - You have to pick the right Alts that will pump out of 10,000+ shitcoins - You have to pick the bottom or near bottom - You have to pray that some foundation doesn't dump on your ass, print another shitload of tokens, do some shenanigans that completely destroy the value of your shitcoin, etc - You have to pick the top or near top before it dump to kingdom come again Long term investment in Alts is a losing proposition. BTC is the diversifier (calculation done on the prices yesterday) - LTC's BTC high was .04792 in late 2013. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $3,185 - NameCoin BTC high was .0145 on late 2013. It kept up with BTC, the price would be $963 - Peercoin BTC high was .00895 on early 2014. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $594 - ZCash BTC high was 2.2635 on late 2016. If it kept up with BTC, the price would be $150,466 - XRP BTC high was .00022465 in May 2017.

I mostly watched from the sidelines and after Mt. Gox went down in 2014 and Bitcoin crashed I genuinely thought it was done for good. Also I was like 14 back then and didn't have money to invest. Just played with shady LTC miners on my old PC barely earning anything and ended up selling everything for a pittance.

OccasionalXerophile

LTC and some ALGO. LTC got a big way to go yet.

whiskeytwn

havinng rode from 20k to 3k back to 50k on BTC I'm pretty immune to this stuff but yeah, it's not immune to regional conflicts having said that I bought a LTC dip at $74 and could let it go at 10% but I'll see if I can get 30% out of it

Blk_d

Most no. DERKY on solana will hit 1000x though. Hopefully LTC and doge hit ATH too 

uncapchad

Coins have a blockchain of their own, while tokens reside on already-existing blockchains. So L1s such as BTC, ETH, ADA, LTC, BNB, SOL, AVAX etc etc are coins of their blockchains. SHIBWIF etc are tokens on SOL. Arbitrum is a side-chain of ETH and it has its own token, ARB.

Giganerdx

If LTC were superior, dark web would use it. Instead, they choose monero.

CounterAdmirable4218

Used on dark web mainly. LTC far superior in every way.

Soviet_Sam

Loaded question I know but what is going on with LTC? My exchange is refusing to allow me to transfer because of this volatility.

Never forget, there’s only enough bitcoin for at most .0026 for each person on the planet. Maybe try buying some Litecoin. It’s more affordable, underpriced, almost identical to bitcoin, is used as a testbed for many current bitcoin features, has a privacy feature, and is being scooped up by institutional investors. Or, you can buy LTCN, (grayscale litecoin trust), which has drastically outperformed LTC itself. Use your gains from that investment to buy more bitcoin, because these investment trusts have a tendency of outperforming their underlying assets. In other words, invest elsewhere in assets that are currently performing better than bitcoin, (Fidelity has a ton of them). Use your gains to buy bitcoin more quickly than you would be able to with DCA.

Underwater_Grilling

Sorry for lateness. 2 strong reasons for me 1. Litecoin has always moved as a pair directly with bitcoin. Obviously not by the same percentages but it had upward parity for a long time when btc was in the 10-25k range. 2. That period of parity and stability established a price floor that worked continuously until that big 40% price pullback. $150/LTC to BTC's $37k/coin. LTC has not recovered that number, BTC has. The ATH peak for LTC was in the $450 range but i'm not that bullish. I believe the floor right now should be 185 per LTC with a held high water line at 275 for 6-10 weeks. I also just love LTC as a coin because of it's low fees and fast speed.

SilentMaster

Probably do half ETH, half of the rest in LTC, then the final quarter into DOT. Really love the daily payouts for the staking rewards on that one. Making a buck a day now, would be sweet to make $5 or whatever that would be for $12K.

Vrfreak1

litecoin is ghosttown dead coin no future dont listen any1 who says otherwise no1 will buy enoufh LTC to pump it anywhere it will continue doing what its doing for last 3x cycles thats dying out , if u want some comparisoin on perfomances , when LTC was last trending it was double its current price , while eth did 22000% so yea its absoluty garbage compared to other coins from trending days

payjoe134

When I need to transfer cryptos between exchanges. One of the best crypto for this is Litecoin. Fee is next to zero, and every CEX has a lot of LTC. Never had a problem with it.

C-Class_hero_Satoru

I remember this year LTC price was 60, I asked in LTC community - is it worth buying and everyone said no, it's unlikely that LTC will pump, after 2 weeks price was 100 I feel like LTC is one of a few coins receiving a lot of hate, but despite that still doing regular pumps and performing better than let's say ADA

No-Imagination5230

I love it, use it, buy it, made a ton of money on it at $350 a coin back in 2017. I buy LTC, then transfer it, then convert it to the coin I need. That's why it's use case is for good. Next to zero fees. Love it

HereToday0522

Can't compare it to BTC (apples & oranges) What other project compares to LTC,what is that MC? For instance PYTH vs LINK. Right now for investment purposes their are just faster horses. Newer technology. Follow the developers, follow the money! A a positive for LTC I believe Coinbase is trying for an ETF for LTC & BTC CASH.

Dieselpump510

I’m a little nervous. LTC dipped hard after its halving. It came back but sat for a bit. I hope BTC doesn’t do the same.

Burner_acc_2024

Everyone forgets that LTC was heavily shilled then Charlie sold everything at ATH and waved bye while we were left holding bags…. I had 14LTC and traded it all for BTC. No regerts

sandpaperboxingmatch

Its nuts because if people actually chased worthwile projects, they would explode way more than memes that peak at 40MC and end up dying. Imagine if all of these billions "invested" in garbage were instead put into something like LTC or XMR.

iamfunnylolwtf

Bitcoin Cash is clearly failing as a payment crypto. BCH was added to Bitpay (crypto payment processor) in 2018. LTC wasnt added until 2021. Despite the 3 year head start, LTC rose to the #2 coin within months of being added, and recently surpassed King Bitcoin to be the #1 coin used for payments for [the last 5 months in a row](https://bitpay.com/stats/). 35%+ of transactions are made with LTC. BCH can barely break 6%. LTC dominates BCH [active addresses](https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/activeaddresses-doge-ltc-bch.html#3m). Just yesterday, BCH had less than 30k active addresses, and LTC had 250k+. The metrics don't lie ... BCH is a joke that no one uses for payments.

Objective_Digit

> LTC is basically BTC with just 4x more supply and 1/4 the block time But it's not Bitcoin is it?

Objective_Digit

> It meets all the criteria for LTC ETF…as a cloned copy of BTC code That justifies nothing. It didn't have Bitcoin's immaculate conception. Nor does it have Bitcoin's network effect, liquidity, security, decentralisation etc.

libretumente

And infinitely inflationary! It really should be used like LTC for purchases and LTC should be hoarded like BTC because of halvings/scarcity etc.

libretumente

LTC is inflationary just like BTC with new supply diminishing by 50% every halving. Seems like a better investment than soge which continues printing at the same rate til infinity. 

husqyCO

The state of LTC is a perfect example of what a clown world it is we are living in. Litecoin deserves to be up there but I won't hold my breath.

VictorOgorodnov

This top looks much better. LTC to #2!!!

amazingfunksta

It's true... The Valkyrie CIO seems to have a lot of inside knowledge about upcoming ETF application for LTC. Betcha coinshares is going to do it.

jawni

It's garbage (as an investment). Just copypasting my last comment on this topic: "Litecoin had a niche that got severely marginalized by new L1's. Simple as that. It's like asking why digital cameras aren't popular anymore." >It is odd to me that coins like Solana, xrp, Toncoin, Tron, shibe inu, chainlink, near protocol, internet computer have higher market caps. Why would that be odd? Isn't LTC slower than all of them? LTC is also a much more siloed ecosystem, whereas most smart contract platforms have bridges which provide access to further liquidity and assets. And besides XRP and SHIB, all of them also offer utility beyond just payments. Before someone responds with "but muh decentralization and fair launch and 13 years of uptime!": My response to that: https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1btk50w/daily_crypto_discussion_april_2_2024_gmt0/kxqdf1l/

yekcowrebbaj

The fact that you think a LTC fork with deterministic inflation and no cap is the marker of a valid payment mechanism tells us all we need to know.

CoinGate

From our data LTC is the third most popular payment method and use of payments is growing. 👀

CoinGate

As few already have mentioned here, Litecoin is cheap and fast solution to use it as a payment method. In fact, from our payment gateway data, LTC is the third most popular payment method after USDT and BTC.

jawni

but yet people will still say they are bullish LTC because it gets used a lot for payments... must be nice to still be living in 2017.

Puzzleheaded-Room657

Why LTC if you can buy BTC?

Master_Ad_9083

Utter bollocks… go on show me some charts… here’s mine. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactionfees-ltc-bch.html#3m LTC fees lower than BCH today and LTC fees steady - BCH fees all over the place check out the 8th of this month where BCH was 10x more than LTC. Oh what about active addresses LTC 8x more than BCH https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/activeaddresses-ltc-bch.html#3m

OnlyMayoFans

I think it will last and eventually rise up. I think at the end of it all, the store of value will be what crypto is all about, and so the chains with clear single functionality (per say) such as BTC, LTC, DOGE? BCH? will stick around. ........... maybe....

GoodShibe

Dogecoin has been essentially securing the LTC/DOGE network for a while now.

libretumente

Doge being merge-mined with LTC will pay out miners with doge (infinitely inflationary) even after all LTC has been theoretically mined. 

libretumente

LTC will get an ETF and when it does it'll be glorious.  Same tokenomics as BTC makes it a commodity. Futures trading went live on coinbase April 1st. Next stop: spot ETF.

corpski

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but since you asked. I used to be the biggest LTC bull in 2017. Owned as much as 0.01% of the entire supply then. Bolted soon after Charlie sold. Never regretted. Never looked back. Ever since then, LTC has arguably never really caught fire again. It's continued to lose ground against BTC in the last 7 years. I see no reason to ever entertain it once more.

Wolvehack

Thinking LTC deserves to be higher than Chainlink shows how little you know about crypto

SimonBakker

Invested all in LTC at 96 with leverage. Waiting for 120.

SuchExplanation

LTC is awesome

Despacit0

LTC is garbage

PugsAndCoffeee

It pumped like 7 years ago. Then the creator sold all of his LTC and it tanked shortly after…

FluentFreddy

I love LTC but I feel like I just read this in 2013

gr8ful4

Fees are even lower in BCH and in the future. LTC has a limited blocksize so works as BTC before hitting the blocksize limit. BCH has a current limit of x4 compared to LTC and starting from next month a dynamic blocksize that will grow with demand without being spammable like BSV. BCH has CashFusion (also implemented in some mobile wallets). It has AnyHedge, one if not the best on-chain hedging tool in the whole crypto space. It has fought at least three battles (BTC, BSV and XEC) and therefore has a hardened community of OGs.

zajczex

In what way is bch better than ltc? Other than sharing the same addresses as btc and creating confusion and room to mistakes? Is it privacy ranking? Because transaction speed and fee is best with LTC

ORNG_MIRRR

LTC gets me moist in my special place.

gr8ful4

So you say it's a better store of value than BTC? BTC is either a speculative investment until it is fully capitalized and eventually becomes a store of value or it is a worse store of value than LTC or XMR or BCH.
