LTC

"But this sub mimimi..." Chill while shilling your bag. This sub is not one entity. Also I just proved that I'm doing different things than buying LTC or LiNK. Like shorting HYPE when it looks good for it... 🤡 You are way too emotional for this space if you want to make it in the long run...

xdetar

I should have listed vendor acceptance as another criteria. Most places only accept half a dozen coins and LTC is almost always one of them. It doesn't matter how many coins offer low fees if no one accepts them as payment.

Meowcoin. PoW, can be mined with your hardware, sound fundamentals, never been through price discovery, limited exchanges, micro-cap, and one of the most unique coins on the market with regular donations to animal charities and being merge-mined with LTC and Doge. It has its own bespoke algo that is based on KawPow but with lower power consumption. Absolute hidden gem if there will ever be another alt-run.

jawni

fuck all fees are something that every chain can offer at this point and LTC has very slow block times, it used to be the better choices when there were few options, now it's one of the worse options out of many.

Been holding my LTC for quite some time, and yeah this chop has been brutal. Watched my stack sit there while everything else either pumped or dumped harder. Still believe in LTC long-term, but I'm done watching it bleed in silence. The "just HODL bro" strategy stopped working for me mentally a while ago.

uncapchad

yeah GPU mining with an ordinary laptop is very unlikely to be profitable. Take a look at GRIN, it does need it's own mining hardware (the iPollo G1 Mini is around $400) and GRIN's price is fairly constant. Other POWS such as XLM, BCH, DGB, LTC, DOGE you'd need more expensive mining equipment. Although very old coins they often make one or two significant moves in a bull-run so they're good to have in reserve

I have my 100 LTC in cold wallet strange thing is litecoin has more transactions than bitcoin, has ETF, most of supply is in circulation, has optional privacy with MWEB, now with LitVM smart contracts are being integrated. However, didn’t see affect on price yet

Dry_Tomorrow3632

if you missed your timing to sell your LTC last year, right now what you should focus is whether the project for LTC is still atleast going strong so during the next cycle theres atleast a chance of recovery. unless youve had enough and decided to just sell it and start fresh with the balance.

CorrectCookie3191

I'm still holding most of my LTC! But this kind of price action makes it hard to just sit still. I've tried light trading on the side before, but it's easy to overdo it and end up worse off. Your grid bot approach seems to be a solid middle ground if you manage risk properly. Personally just accumulating slowly and waiting it out even if it's kinda boring!

Shichroron

Wow, people actually still holding LTC

higher-steaks

why do you believe in LTC..? what is the thesis for it outperforming BTC going forward?

Cryptomuscom

Holding LTC for two years is basically a test of human patience at this point.

LTC is my coin of choice when actually buying things with crypto. I don't know why it isn't more popular.

itsaBazinga

I trade it but haven’t looked at LTC in awhile.

NFA I sold $PEPE almost 2y ago and moved into $PEP. The difference is one is a token listed everywhere with a huge market cap, and the other is a coin tied to LTC and DOGE with the exchange and wallet hype still ahead. But you need a lot of patience cause this isn’t a pump and dump project

the_rodent_incident

What's even the point of "blue chips", when none of them will give you the timely and safe returns of BTC? If you have a use case for an altcoin, like XMR for buying stuff, or LTC for fast transfers, then sure you can keep some of them just in case. But there's no guarantee any of them will give you any returns. I won't even comment meme coins and NFTs. These are just scams, money grabs. Insiders make billions, everyone else ends up in 99% loss.

gopackgo70

$PEP - Pepecoin L1 coin NOT a token. POW and low market cap. Merge mining with LTC and Doge. Get in now!

Skepsis93

I still occasionally use litecoin to pay for things. I still see more support for BTC, LTC, and ETH in online marketplaces than I do for monero. But it's still pretty sparse overall when it comes to places accepting any crypto.

Post is by: TopLawFulness8 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ryjn8g/beginners_guide_to_investing_in_polygon_matic/ Absolutely! Let’s go step by step with a simple, data-driven approach to anticipate Litecoin (LTC) price movements. This won’t be perfect—crypto is notoriously volatile—but it can give you a structured way to interpret trends without needing complex models. # 1️⃣ Gather Recent Data You need recent price and volume data for Litecoin. For a simple method, 1–4 weeks of daily closing prices is enough. Sources can be: * CoinMarketCap / CoinGecko * Crypto exchange APIs (Binance, Kraken, etc.) Focus on: * Closing price (daily) * Trading volume * Optional: Moving averages (5-day, 10-day) # 2️⃣ Calculate a Simple Moving Average (SMA) A moving average smooths out noise. Example: 5-day SMA SMA5=Price1+Price2+⋯+Price55\\text{SMA}\_5 = \\frac{\\text{Price}\_1 + \\text{Price}\_2 + \\dots + \\text{Price}\_5}{5}SMA5​=5Price1​+Price2​+⋯+Price5​​ * Compare current price to SMA. * Price above SMA → bullish trend * Price below SMA → bearish trend You can also use 10-day SMA to see short-term vs medium-term trends. # 3️⃣ Look at Momentum (Price Change) Check day-over-day % change: Daily change %=Pricetoday−PriceyesterdayPriceyesterday×100\\text{Daily change \\%} = \\frac{\\text{Price}\_\\text{today} - \\text{Price}\_\\text{yesterday}}{\\text{Price}\_\\text{yesterday}} \\times 100Daily change %=Priceyesterday​Pricetoday​−Priceyesterday​​×100 * Consecutive positive % changes often indicate uptrend momentum * Consecutive negative % changes often indicate downtrend momentum This is a simple momentum check. # 4️⃣ Observe Volume Patterns Volume shows strength of moves: * Rising price + rising volume → strong trend * Rising price + falling volume → weak or unsustainable trend * Falling price + rising volume → strong downward trend Volume confirms whether the trend is likely to continue. # 5️⃣ Identify Support and Resistance Levels * Support: price level where LTC tends to stop falling (buyers step in) * Resistance: price level where LTC tends to stop rising (sellers step in) Simple method: * Look at recent lows for support, recent highs for resistance. * Break above resistance = potential bullish signal * Break below support = potential bearish signal # 6️⃣ Combine Signals for Prediction A very simple predictive rule of thumb: |Signal|Trend Indication| |:-|:-| |Price above SMA + rising volume|Likely bullish short-term| |Price below SMA + rising volume|Likely bearish short-term| |Price near support + increasing volume|Potential bounce upward| |Price near resistance + decreasing volume|Potential reversal downward| This is not guaranteed; it’s a way to interpret the recent data to get a probabilistic sense of price direction. # 7️⃣ Optional: Visual Check Plot the closing price, SMA, and volume on a chart. Even a simple line chart often reveals patterns better than raw numbers. # ✅ Key Takeaways * Use moving averages to identify trend direction * Use momentum (daily % changes) to see short-term strength * Use volume to confirm whether trends are real * Use support/resistance to anticipate reversals With just these 3–4 simple indicators, you can make a data-informed guess on where Litecoin might move next.

For me it's $PEP, EU (MiCa) regulation is being worked on! Live on Kraken for US and EU coming soon. Triple minable with LTC and DOGE.

SpoonPlateAndAFork

Many people think it's dead. Mainly because it pumps not so agressively and often - so they can't make a lot of money. For me it's practical same as BTC. Many stores in my country (Europe) allow to pay with btc or LTC. That's why I have some. Not much. Also an argument would be the scarcity. There's I think around 93% circulating supply already. I think it could do some crazy green candles, but I buy mainly BTC.

happy_caravan

In my opinion, the privacy niche is undervalued. The political class seems to increase focus on surveillance and control, like with stablecoins. Genius act gives them the green light to tokenize everything. Looking at LTC, PIVX, FIRO, ZANO. Not going to touch ZEC, DASH and XMR though.

DOGE is the first real production deployment. But there's no reason to stop there: - Kaspa (KHeavyHash) → idle GPU cycles → QU buyback - Alephium (Blake3) → idle GPU cycles → QU buyback - Litecoin (Scrypt) → ASIC → QU buyback - Bitcoin Cash (SHA256) → ASIC → QU buyback - ... Every new PoW network integrated = a new external, non-dilutive revenue source for Qubic. The network literally becomes a worldwide PoW value vacuum while running AI compute on top. ## The positioning that emerges Most L1s fund themselves through: - Native token inflation - Transaction fees - VC/Foundation selling pressure Qubic in its final Phase 3 funds itself through: - Real work performed on other networks - Mechanical burn derived from that work - Zero dependency on VCs or inflation This is a fundamentally different economic model from anything else in crypto. ## The "useful parasite" narrative What's elegant here is that Qubic doesn't attack these networks — it brings them hashpower. DOGE and LTC benefit from increased security. It's economic symbiosis disguised as parasitism, and that creates a natural resistance to criticism. Unless the share gets too large — the 51% XMR episode showed that communities react when it becomes threatening. ## The real strategic question Does Qubic remain an AI network that funds itself via PoW, or does it become a meta-coordination layer for global PoW whose killer app happens to be AI? The difference is subtle but massive for long-term positioning. The second version is a much bigger vision — and honestly, it might be what CFB has had in mind from the start. The Dispatcher + Oracle Machines architecture is exactly the infrastructure you'd need for that. Probably not an accident. ## Where it breaks (being honest) **The 51% problem is a structural scaling ceiling, not a one-off incident.** The more successfully Qubic parasitizes a network, the harder that network pushes back. This means the model scales horizontally (number of chains parasitized) but not vertically (share of each chain). Horizontal scaling has diminishing returns: each new integration costs dev effort and coordination, and targets increasingly smaller networks. **The model depends on PoW surviving long-term.** If in 5-10 years the PoW landscape contracts to BTC-only (with everything else migrating to PoS or dying), the "parasitable surface" shrinks dramatically. **The flywheel spins in one direction only.** Demand for verified AI compute → QU value → miner attractiveness → ability to parasitize PoW networks → buyback → QU value. PoW mining is the *funding mechanism*, but the *engine* is AI demand. Without real AI demand, this is a glorified multi-chain mining pool with a token. It's NiceHash with extra steps. ## The bull case nobody's making The non-dilutive external revenue model is genuinely unique. No other L1 has this. It's a real structural advantage, not marketing fluff. The "symbiosis" narrative (we bring hashpower, we take nothing from anyone) is defensible as long as the share stays reasonable. And the architecture — Dispatcher + Oracle Machines + 676 Computors as a reproducibility verification layer — looks like it was designed from day one for general-purpose compute coordination, not just another smart contract platform. ## Bottom line The "useful parasite" model is the best funding pitch I've seen in crypto. But a great funding mechanism isn't enough without a product people want to pay for. The race is to create real AI demand before PoW mining contracts. The key question isn't "can Qubic parasitize more chains?" — it's "will anyone pay for AI compute verified by Computors instead of using AWS?" Use cases like decentralized sports result verification for prediction markets are exactly the right type of answer — cases where decentralized verification has value that centralized infra simply can't offer. That's where the real thesis lives or dies. What do you think ? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Thats the most stupid take - if you gain control of a money pot, you want to use it while nobody notices it. You hack into any other wallet instead of the most obvious ones. Once you touch Satoshi's, btc crashes, and you have access to worthless shit. This is the founder of a coin? I am not well versed on LTC but I feel I can safely asume it is shit now.

NightKnight_CZ

Altcoins were in Bearmarket for straight 4.5 years. They are just trying to breakout. Buy this bottom before it's too late. Buy Litecoin, it's going to $1000+ => it has been in it's own cycle for 8 years sideways due to 100x'ing in 2016-17 cycle. We could have another 6 months of sideways... But I am already in the market I am gonna retire from LTC, after I sell at $1000-2500/LTC in 1,5-2y from now

I tried to warn people LTC was shit but would get downvoted to death each time.

I don't need your money, you keep 100% of profits (and 100% of risk, naturally), I just need more testing. The bot currently only works with CoinEx exchange, If you have an account there, you can create a sub-account and give me the API key for it (I won't be able to withdraw your money using the key, only trade). I will then spawn a copy of the bot on my server that will use your key to trade with your capital. You will get access to a simple control panel + notification on each trade in Telegram. I have traded with 3 instruments so far (LTC, XMR, HYPE). For two days it showed \~3,600% APR.

Switched back to LTC and used AllArk for the first time. The transaction was near-instant, and I managed to get a prepaid Visa without jumping through any hoops. It’s honestly refreshing to see a platform that treats LTC as a primary payment method rather than an afterthought. This kind of infrastructure is what’s going to drive the price up. When spending becomes this easy, holding becomes a no-brainer. Anyone else using them for their 'Cash by Mail' or cards? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Do what "everyone" does these days: AI. Example: *To keep your identity private while receiving funds, crypto is a solid move. Since you're both in the USA, I recommend using a* ***non-custodial wallet*** *like* ***Exodus*** *or* ***Trust Wallet****.* *Unlike CashApp, these apps don't display your legal name to the sender; they only see your* ***public wallet address*** *(a string of random letters and numbers). Have your friend buy* ***Litecoin (LTC)*** *or a* ***stablecoin (USDC)*** *on an exchange like Coinbase to minimize fees. He then sends it to your address. You can later swap it for USD or spend it privately.* *Should I explain how to* ***off-ramp*** *that crypto back into your bank account anonymously?* /s

Capital_Advice9250

Hey, respect for saving at 17 and already thinking about your portfolio Honestly if you're worried about fluctuations, Litecoin is actually one of the MORE stable smaller coins — but I get it, the gains are limited too. If I were you I'd look at **Solana (SOL)** seriously : * The network is extremely active right now — meme coins, DeFi, NFTs, everything is happening on Solana * More activity = more demand for SOL = price tends to follow * Transaction fees are super cheap so you can actually USE your crypto, not just hold it * The developer ecosystem is one of the fastest growing in crypto right now The volatility is still there crypto is crypto but at least with SOL you're holding an asset with real network activity behind it, not just speculation. With $200 you could split it : keep maybe $50 in LTC as your "stable" bag and move the rest to SOL. Don't put everything in one place though. You're 17, you have time don't take unnecessary risks with money you can't afford to lose. DYOR and good luck bro

Novel_Mycologist_249

sinceramente un top 5 son: solana, bitcoin, ethereum, hype y la mejor y que subira como espuma cuando iran caiga es litecoin o LTC

bbqyak

You can use something like Cake Wallet. Send LTC (for fast transaction time) and swap it for USDT. But the fees are high and you're going to lose a few percent in the process. Or get a VPN and buy it on an exchange. But unless you're trying to buy a coin you can't without USDC, there's really no benefit. You'll be jumping through hoops here potentially losing money just to get a stablecoin.

DangerHighVoltage111

BCH was once below LTC and has surpassed it now for over a year. It doesn't matter how hard you try to slander BCH. BCH is the best chance for a better sound monetary system. The community knows that and does not give up just because the FIAT value dropped a bit or because you slander it. Your efforts are futile.

indiamikezulu

Altquick and Frei are the bastions -- as best I know. Both genuinely old-school anti-KYC. Frei is a place for coins on their last legs -- plus LTC and others. Altquick has a tiny collection of coins, but may be the last CEX on Planet Krypto with native-English-speaking Support.

EarningsPal

Because LINK is a token, not a coin. Coins have a premium over tokens for some reason. Best guess: 1. Fair distribution 2. lost units 3. Time units are held, including lost units 4. utility to operate a system, transaction requirement 5. scarcity component, arguably more difficult to expand the supply (validators vs Multisig) See DOGE, BCH, LTC as examples. How they remain top 25 has to be because of at least something in this list.

I did not take profit when I should have. I bought more ETH around 5k thinking it would just keep going. I added LTC when it was still in three figures. At that time, everything felt unstoppable. Now everything is down, sentiment is cold, and I am sitting here asking the same question many of you probably are: when is this going to be over? I know nobody can time the exact bottom, but it gets frustrating watching positions bleed while waiting for a cycle to turn. That is why I have been thinking about pivoting into forex for a while. Trading Gold, silver, maybe even major pairs on TradFi or Exness. A friend of mine and I started crypto around the same time, but he moved into FX earlier. Somehow he seems to be navigating this phase better, especially catching momentum in metals. He even benefited from a period when new users are/were sharing rewards on TradFi, which gave him extra cushion. My question is this. If you were in my position, would you hold through the crypto bear and wait for the next cycle, or diversify into forex and try to grow capital there while crypto resets? I am not trying to chase the next shiny thing. I just do not want to repeat the same mistakes again. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

How bad is LTC if I’m able to hold for 4 years? I’m down a good chunk

BTCWallahFXEmpire

1. Its not a switch between Bitcoin and Litecoin, ofc. The point is allocation of resources to mine undervalued assets like Litecoin. 2. Source? 3. Enough fundamentals are attached to LTC, with privacy narrative leading for now. More mining doesnt help prices (if there's no demand on the other side). But to say there won't be any demand for LTC, an OG PoW asset, when Bitcoin becomes scarcer, is too much. Litecoin can exist in the same ecosystem as ZEC/XMR. We just saw them pop outta nowhere. One supertrend is enough.

Nice. The only BTC I have is what's left over from when I signed up through my buddy's referral, for $10 worth, traded $10 for LTC or some crap, and now have $6 worth. But even now, it kills me to see it, especially the unrealized return. It wouldn't be a lot, but it'd be a couple hundred instead of $6. But good on you. 

quantum_burp

1) it runs on a different hashing algo so nobody is moving to mine it 2) most of the profit from mining ltc came from doge, but that's down 90% or something 3) more mining isn't going to make the price go up There is no niche that LTC fills that other networks don't fill better. Store of value? -> BTC payment network? -> BTC + lightning, or any stablecoin on an eth l2 Privacy coin? -> ZEC/XMR The only reason LTC has any value is because coinbase listed it alongside btc, eth and xrp in 2017. Since then the people who initially bought it keep buying more.

jspartanlee

Was a pleasant surprise to see LTC above 80 cents again! Until I saw that it really was Solana.

**200k is half Bitcoin's tx** count, very far from "nothing". Also note ~70% of ETH's tx are smart contract calls, DeFi swaps, L2 bridges, bots, not payments. Apples to oranges, ETH isn't cash.

He quit. LTC was listed on Coinbase about a month later, which wasn’t exactly shocking, LTC was the #3 crypto by market cap at the time. There’s zero evidence he was "fired".

LTC is an overall pretty stable, useful, and private coin which is why I like it so much. 

Therighttodo

Again: BitPay and CoinGate are real-world payment processors. Their merchant directories ([BitPay](https://www.bitpay.com/directory), [CoinGate](https://coingate.com/stores)) show tons accepting LTC (among others), and by transaction count LTC is #1 on BitPay, #3 on CoinGate. Savvy?

SpaceFaceMistake

This is good news. We need many more ways of spending IRL and having companies accept eg $BTC $LTC $XLM $XRP $ETH to be used as payment Through a Visa Card or account having Visa use or create their own Crypto Wallet system. So paying with Visa can be payed with $BTC but the company may wish to receive the Dollar or maybe 50/50. Master card or Visa then get exposure to owning $BTC or other coins for USD exchange which is super smart with $BTC the newest and longest currency to be. Or $USD the currency that is dying.

Therighttodo

It's real usage, lots of purchases. See how transaction count-wise, LTC has repeatedly hit #1 on [BitPay](https://np.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/1qsyr3v/merrick_theobald_bitpay_on_litecoins_dominance_in/) and top 3 on [CoinGate](https://np.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/1qiunx9/litecoin_usage_in_crypto_payments_in_2025/) over the last few years.

Therighttodo

What I mean is: you’re treating CoinMarketCap rank as if it's a clean scorecard for "how LTC is doing" when it's a **relative** metric that's driven by what *other [millions](https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/number-of-cryptocurrencies-tracked/) of coins* do, not just by anything fundamental changing in Litecoin. A few points: - **Rank != absolute performance.** LTC can be flat/down modestly and still slide in rank if a handful of coins above/below it rip on narrative flows. That's not a "Litecoin broke" signal by itself, it's often just where the marginal speculation is going. - **Cherry-picking the winner is easy after the fact.** BCH massively outperforming over the last year is real, but that’s exactly how alt cycles behave: a few names do multiples while a lot of the complex moves together. One coin's surge doesn't automatically mean the others are failing, it means capital rotated hard into that theme. - **My original point stands:** if you overlay LTCUSD against a broad alts ex-BTC/stables benchmark, LTC has mostly been **moving with the alt market** since 2022, with some swings around it. So "market not impressed" is overstated. It's more like "LTC hasn’t been the leader" in this cycle.

RespectFront1321

It’s just a fancy term for leaving out the benchmark, BTC. While the handful of alts that completely outperformed LTC get drowned in the noise.

Therighttodo

300M is **lifetime since 2011**, not per year. Last year alone was about 93M tx (~255k/day avg), and [BitInfoCharts](https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/litecoin-transactions.html#alltime) has LTC around the same pace. So "80M in a year" isn’t a math trick, just a higher run-rate than the early years.

And [Strike](https://strike.me/), [River](https://river.com/), [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/), and [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin) are all good places to buy bitcoin from. It wouldn't make any sense to convert your BTC to LTC and then back to BTC. You would just be paying extra fees. And even worse, you would be creating more taxable events.

How is, falling from position 15 exactly a year ago to 23 today, anchoring bias? A few alts are vastly outperforming it as well, such as BCH which was ranked 23rd (where LTC is today) a year ago but is now ranked #10.

Transaction count-wise, LTC is #1 on BitPay and one of the top currencies on CoinGate.

I don't know about the gray market, but transaction count-wise, LTC is #1 on BitPay and one of the top currencies on CoinGate.

That's anchoring bias. For proper perspective, overlay `TOTAL2ES` (total crypto cap ex-BTC/stables) on `LTCUSD` in TradingView. See this: https://postimg.cc/HjFYZRRL LTC swings -30% to +30% vs. the market at extremes, but just a few % on average **since 2022**. Tracks alts closely.

Tbf I am pretty sure LTC is the crypto I used to buy the most 'real life' stuff over the years (whole steroid/peptide gray market uses it).

RespectFront1321

Market not impressed. LTC is down -30% this year alone and -56% over a year. It’s currently ranked 23 on coinmarketcap, the lowest ranking in its lifetime.

LTC founder dumps LTC: That is bad. ETH founder dumps ETH: That is good.

BeefonWeck00

ive been holding LTC for 5 years. It's my third biggest bag. I have a lot of it. I am down 50%. Although it's been super frustrating, I am still optimisitc.

Oldiebones

LTC is junk. Don’t gamble with money if you can’t afford to lose it.

Honest-Tip6745

The first Quarter of 2026 LTC is going nowhere, dead weight switch to zec

Funnily enough LTC is one I actually use occasionally. The others in my portfolio I just stare at as they halve in value weekly.

One-Kaleidoscope-594

LTC moves in cycles, so I’d hold if I were you. What price would make you sell if it drops further?

This-Adhesiveness-52

BTC, LTC, SOL, ETH, LINK, SUI, XRP is a risk, the hype won't last.

Kinglucky154

LTC does move in cycles but putting a lot in at once is risky. Even if €70 is possible, timing isn’t guaranteed. If you’re using Phemex, at least manage risk properly and don’t size it so big that volatility shakes you out.

Fremen85

I remember buying LTC in 2018 and literally nothing has happened with the project since then.

DoubleRNL

I personally don’t see LTC reaching new highs, or am I missing something?

LTC is dead

BTCWallahFXEmpire

Fundamentally, my bull case for Litecoin is that small miners will be affected if Bitcoin becomes too inaccessible. In fact, all rivaling PoW coins may benefit from such an exodus. LTC has been way undervalued for years, and it must attract capital rotations in the next bull market.

This-Adhesiveness-52

Yes, but on the way down all graphs follow the BTC graph down, if BTC go's down alts go down, the graphs down look almost identical to btc graph. We have to wait untill the BTC bullmarket to see alt coins rise again, the only recovery we see is because btc recovered a bit that day. But as long that BTC keeps going down it drags LTC and all other coins with it. 

Quandale_Pringle69

Yes but i personally think that a win is almost 100% sure, because of the overall statistics just the time it is going to take isn’t really sure my guess was based of the overall statistics so there’s basically no 100% chance there never is but btc and LTC aren’t going down much more and stay like that forever that’s what im pretty sure about that it will go up

This-Adhesiveness-52

As long as BTC keeps dropping it drags all alts down with it so worst case BTC drops to 45.000 euro and dragges LTC down with it to 30 euro . And then waiting untill BTC reaches 80.000 again after the bottom at 45.000 and when it surges LTC will ride on that bitcoin wave up again, but it could still take some months till BTC bottoms to 45.000 and starts to surge again. I already bought 2 dips. 1 at 65 euro and 1 at 55 euro and if it drops again another buy at 40 euro but like a few months i do hope so, will depend if BTC already bottomed 6 feb if not we could go down a lot lower.   But i also do think it will back to a 100 euro once BTC reaches 80.000 euro again but could take untill end this year. But also really hope it will only be 2 months. But don't be frustrated if btc keeps falling and drags LTC with it to it's bottom first. Better if you buy in pieces, you can never time the market. 

SameWeekend13

Exactly and after this recent doubt it’s almost like dead, literally no sentiment for LTC at this point sadly.

SameWeekend13

Talk about LTC man, next bull run it feels even less chances LTC will even manage to hit above$100.

AnxiousSeason

You still think the old DOGE has life in her? Man, ETH... ETH ETH ETH. I want to like ETH. I've just lost so much money on it. But it bounced back, so you might be right. I wouldn't count ETH out, I'm just not playing with ETH for now. And LTC, interesting. Don't know much about it -- isn't it a fork of BTC? Frankly I've yet to see a real use case for crypto that is wide spread or retail. So I think crypto mostly (FOR NOW) rides on sentiment and greed, and I think name branding and technicals are strongest for sentiment and greed. BTC is a house hold name, so people know what it is and when they think of crypto bitcoin is the first they think about, even my mom knows about btc. And SOL is an amazing network and has lots of projects going on. We'll see. The market is really crazy right now. Generally. But BTC seems to be following the 4 year cycle pattern, which is hopeful, but we'll see. It's all a gamble in the end huh? lol. GL

cc99v

I purchase many things using LTC or XMR, if you get my drift

Majestic_Plane_1656

The creators said "DOGE will always be inflationary" and right there it was dead. BNB LTC ETH TRX BCH are all deflationary. Why bother with DOGE.

SameWeekend13

But Reddit told me BTC is going to $50 and LTC to $30. Still waiting for it.

As does every single cryptocurrency from around that era. Ethereum does the same level of fantastic job as does LTC. Nothing unique to bitcoin.

No mention of Litecoin (LTC)? LTC going to zero ?

HowOldWasAisya

Haven't traded crypto since 2022, thought I'd check in and share my dead alts: VET RUNE (thorchain) LTC BCH (only one that's semi holding up)
