LTC

FGX302

I used to use it to transfer money between bank accounts in two different countries. It was faster and cheaper than using a bank. But now one of those countries has banned LTC because of MWEB so I have no use for it anymore. The hodlers on this sub are pretty delusional and in denial. It'll never get to a new ath.

At this current time you can insert any crypto. BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, ~~Moons.~~

Post is by: move-size123 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vtfkjr/same_volume_as_the_june_crash_opposite_result/ Everyone's hyping the Bitcoin's $2.7B short liquidation on Wednesday but the same $44B volume spike happened June 2-6 too, and back then every single one of those days was red, BTC dropped from 73.5k to 60.8k on that same volume. So the volume number by itself doesn't tell you anything, what matters is buyers actually absorbed the selling this time instead of folding like they did in June. ETH also gained 19.1% against BTC's 11.4% while DOT and LTC barely moved, so this wasn't even a uniform squeeze, some coins had real demand behind them and others just got dragged along. If it cools to $15-18B and price holds above 68k, real buyers are behind this move. If volume craters and price slides back to 64k, it was all mechanical short covering and nobody real showed up. And BTC is still 43% off its all time high with 95.6% of supply already mined, so nothing structural changed today, the shorts just got caught.

LTC/BTC just hit a new all time low.

Also overlooked is LTC's growing use and privacy. Volume, transactions and addresses with a balance all going up. Optional on-chain privacy. And a DeFi virtual machine ecosystem is being built with 100s of companies already participating in the testnet has something like 13 million addresses already formed.

Okay, so 14M dogecoin mined per day is about 1 million dollars per day. Compared to BTC where each day 28M $ is mined. Dogecoin shares mining with LTC, so it's fairly secure chain. But everything rest, yeah it's a shitcoin but not the worst. I would say 99% others are even worse.

jekpopulous2

I don't hold DOGE or any other memecoins but that inflation is the chains security budget. Perpetual block rewards ensure miners are permanently incentivized to validate transactions and secure the network without relying solely on transaction fees. Compare that to other POW chains where minors get diminishing returns until they're not even worth mining anymore. That inflation is the main reason that DOGE is still alive after all these years while LTC, BCH, ETC, DASH, etc... are all on life support. I'm not advocating for DOGE it's a useless coin but the best thing about it is that it's inflationary. It keeps the network secure and the supply doesn't matter anyway because it's a meme and nobody cares about the fundamentals.

LTC is a testing environment before something gets implemented in bitcoin. Mimblewimble for "privacy" seems a bit funky and can easily make you trip up exposing you. For privacy people will go for monero, that really ensures privacy. LTC might stay a fun play for cypherpunks, but surely is not made for the masses. It's kind of old and slow. But some nerds will keep fucking around with it and bitcoiners seem to paranoid to give up on this testing environment.

logavulin16

Yes but all have consistently bled to BTC. I too have always liked LTC. It’s the kind of coin you send cash to your friend to pay for a pizza delivery. That being said, the market has essentially proven that this is not a particularly useful technology to do so. There are other ways to send $20 to a friend, or pay for a tank of gas that are more familiar and convenient, and there is little to no improvement on this with LTC or other CC. BTC however offers sovereignty and store of value with the greatest security the world has to offer. It is the #1 most secure asset in the world. My point being, early hypotheses about technology are often wrong. The technology is invented, then the use cases are discovered along the way.

merco_caliente

LTC is literally the only coin I use as if it's money lol

sluglife1987

That’s actually one of the better portfolios Iv seen on Reddit. Usually it’s XRP, LINK, Cardano, LTC etc. legacy shit coins that are lower in price than they where 10 years ago

Minute-Lake-1819

I agree. Thats why I said Bitcoin isn’t really competing anymore. It’s primarily a store of value. Other chains are complimentary. Each chain can function in some utility better than the other. I believe the future will be a combination of many chains. Right now, LTC happens to be leading in POW payments. Stablecoins are the bridge to the traditional financial system.

GreenStretch

Oh, that's a good use case. I had a LTC bag for years and finally sold last year.

logavulin16

LTC is a relic from a philosophy that turned out to be wrong. BTC was initially thought of as a very cheap, P2P cash exchange; something you would use to buy a pizza. All of the alt coins bet on being faster and cheaper. They all lost. The philosophy evolved. BTC still offers P2P freedom, but its philosophy and use have evolved.

never_safe_for_life

People have made many points as to why LTC is uninteresting technology. You just ignore them. Good luck mate, you’re gonna need it

Minute-Lake-1819

Thank you for bringing it back to the point that the only complaint people have about LTC is price related.

never_safe_for_life

A little dense, huh? Makes sense. Look, you bought Litecoin because it was cheaper than Bitcoin. That was your mistake. Just sell your LTC for BTC and escape from the hell of trying to pump your shitcoin one person at a time

Minute-Lake-1819

The on chain data seems to tell a different story. Either the rest of the market is overvalued or LTC is undervalued for its usage.

Minute-Lake-1819

That’s basically my point. In my opinion the market is wrong. The market is showing there is definitely interest in using LTC especially for payments, yet the price does not reflect this interest.

Minute-Lake-1819

Hello. Litecoin was created in 2011 using most of the original bitcoin code but tweaked to improve speed, fees, mining ability. It’s one of the oldest altcoins and it’s historically been used for payments and swaps on exchanges due to its high liquidity. Its history of being digital silver to bitcoins gold is still seen today when you compare on chain data and real world payment stats. LTC is consistently at the top with BTC. But over the years LTC has innovated and now has an opt-in privacy feature called MWEB and is currently adding a programmable layer called LitVM where users can stake, play games, trade, swap, use predictions markets, trade real world assets like pokemon cards, etc. So this post was made today to state that in my opinion, the market has been wrong in its evaluation of LTC. It’s much more important to the ecosystem than most people seem to realize.

Minute-Lake-1819

Check out the original post. BTC functions first as a store of value, second as a payment method. LTC historically has been the opposite due to its additional features like MWEB, cheaper fees, quicker block times, etc. They are more of a compliment than direct competition.

libretumente

LTC really is the fairest of them all and a true cryptocurrency

alien_frontier

Your post 18 days ago: “The answer, 2017. Coinbase was trending and there were only 3 coins to choose from. BTC, ETH, LTC. And I bought LTC first because it was the cheapest full coin option.” You don’t remember your own post because you share your account with other shillers?

Minute-Lake-1819

LTC is the only coin I hold where the fundamentals don’t match the price. Everything else I hold is at relatively fair value. I don’t know where you got the yolo after coinbase hype? I’ve been around for around 10 years with LTC being my first coin around $27/coin. Not that it matters, you won’t believe me anyway.

Educational_Speech58

Wrong people are using LTC

luvscene

The BTC versus LTC utility debate is interesting, especially when people separate payments from store of value, while gamdom sits in a different part of the crypto ecosystem.

dsetarno

When LTC reaches 50 dollars come back and DM me to gloat that you were right. 

Minute-Lake-1819

There is literally data from companies like Bitpay, CoinGate, bitrefill and others that consistently show LTC, BTC and usdt as the most used options.

CounterAdmirable4218

Well ZEC was hailed as instant cash, and it is failing, and is an insider dominated scam. Contrast with LTC. An actual currency which everyone uses and not looking to enrich anyone personally.

Minute-Lake-1819

Where is the real world data saying people prefer to use these other coins over BTC and LTC for payments? Real companies never list these coins as their most used coins for payments. Yet they have “superior tech”

dsetarno

Something from your post tells me you sunk a shit load of money into LTC and are looking to justify it here.

Minute-Lake-1819

100%. To be clear, I don’t have a maxi mentality. I like and hold a dozen or so different cryptos. All with different utility and purpose. I happen to think there will be dozens of cryptos that end up being used in everyday life. BTC and LTC just being 2 of them. I just think this gamblers mindset has clouded peoples views. If a coin isn’t moving up in price as fast as another it does not make it ded. The story is told on chain and with real world data. Eventually the market will figure it out and stop gambling so we can have a more efficient world with crypto in it.

Minute-Lake-1819

That’s the mentality that so many people have yet can’t really figure out why they have it. It is why I think the market has overlooked and misevaluated LTC for a long time. It’s like, here are 2 donuts. And let’s say you love donuts like I do. They are exactly the same but maybe one has a few extra sprinkles then the other has. You’re telling me you only want the donut with less sprinkles? Doubt it. The market will figure this out eventually. It’s just so obvious.

Minute-Lake-1819

You’re thinking full settlement. You can pay for something with LTC instantly if you needed to or with L2s. Now I ask, if XRP is a “good payment” network, why aren’t people using it at the levels of coins like BTC and LTC? The real world data shows these two coins and stables are always at the top. XRP has had over a decade to take over the payment market yet it hasn’t.

Minute-Lake-1819

Exactly what I said in the original post. Either LTC and everything else is overvalued or LTC is being overlooked by the market. It can’t be one vs the other

Minute-Lake-1819

1. Real business data from companies like CoinGate, Bitpay, bitrefill, others, consistently rank Litecoin a top used coin. Many companies don’t even post their data, but these are some examples of companies that do that anyone can verify. I only say this because some people don’t trust on chain transaction data to tell the story. 2. 5-15mins is too long for sure. LTC is around 2.5 mins for the first confirmation and it’s smart to wait for multiple confirmations before full settlement. For sure many new blockchains can beat this time. That’s not the point thou. Question: If you had to pay a bill would you TRUST a newer chain to pay that bill? Or would you take a look at the industry trends of downtime/hacks/pump and dumpers and say, hmmm, do I trust to send my money on these networks? Or should I use something like Litecoin that has done it safely for 15 years? It will take decades for any new coin to gain the level of trust coins like BTC and LTC have with storing and spending wealth and that’s the core point of this.

belsaurn

LTC just isn’t a good payment network. It can still take 10 minutes for a transaction to process. For a proper payment network it needs to be almost instant like XRP is. Can you imagine having to wait up to 10 minutes for you payment to clear at he grocery store or gas station?

Minute-Lake-1819

The market is pricing LTC like it’s not being used. That’s the point I’m making. And the complaint is always “price sux” in the comments. Fundamental analysis puts LTC up in the top 5 of almost every worthwhile metric. It’s like a never ending loop and I think the market has looked at LTC wrong for years

Minute-Lake-1819

LTC is different than both of them. That’s what I’m saying. Yet the market doesn’t value it properly for its growth/usage. And the only complaint people have is price related.

Minute-Lake-1819

The common complaint is price related. If the market valued hashrate, adoption, transactions, real usage, signs of any type of actual growth, they would see LTC is up there with BTC and others. The question then becomes, well, if LTC is up there in these metrics, why is it devalued compared to the rest of the industry? That’s why I think the markets had it wrong for years

throwawayainteasy

> Either BTC and LTC go to near zero, or LTC catches up to BTC in usd term Or LTC goes to zero and BTC does whatever BTC does regardless of what happens with LTC. No one gives a shit about LTC. The market doesn't have to value LTC just because you do.

Minute-Lake-1819

There you go. I can agree with all this. Now compare usd price of all the assets you mention and real world transaction data and pick which coin is not valued properly. This is my point. The market is not valuing LTC properly

socksockshoeshoe

But I use LTC a million times more than I use ADA (...both zero)

Minute-Lake-1819

I’m not ignoring that data. It’s true, other networks are competing for payments. But the real world data from Bitpay, CoinGate, bitrefill, others that publish, consistently list Litecoin as a top 3 coin for transactions. It’s always LTC,BTC and a stable coin at the top. And I think this is because of the LTC/BTC historical relationship and level of trust gained that cannot be replicated by newcomers

liquid_at

The issue you seem to ignore is that LTC is not the only currency out there. Bitcoin is the only artifical-pump-asset that has a high enough market cap to be considered crypto gold. Even in the upper ranks of Crypto, LTC has XRP, Doge and BCH compete as pure payment solutions, while ETH, SOL and TRX also provide functional payment solutions. Even Bitcoin, with the lightning protocol, competes against LTC here. And before the haters come in, this is by no means a qualitative statement. Just that when you want to go for crypto gold, you have bitcoin, bitcoin and bitcoin, while going for payment solutions, there are much more options. You will never find a high concentration like in Bitcoin, in a single one of them.

byylu

Litecoin is an altcoin, and if there’s one thing I think is worth watching long-term, it’s merge mining. If you’re mining LTC, you can also mine DOGE using the same Scrypt work — and that’s not where it ends. There are more blockchains in the ecosystem, like PEP, BELLS, etc. You’re not using extra electricity or hardware to secure them; the same hashpower can secure multiple chains. So, I might be wrong here, but there’s even a project called Scrypt Strategy that’s building a treasury around these Scrypt coins No idea where this whole thing will be in a few years, but it’s definitely something I’ll be watching.

Educational_Speech58

LTC is a sleeper 😴

SpontaneousDream

LTC has been looong dead for many years. Crazy that anyone thinks it can come back

mrjune2040

Yes no shit, hence the TVL metrics above as to how much is actually being utilised on-chain by being made private. LTC’s usage is dwarfed.

anymonero

But ETH alone is already 50x the market cap of LTC not to mention total market cap of all the tokens on ETH. Litecoin's ratio is much more impressive.

Minute-Lake-1819

Relevant in what way? Litecoin has consistently been a top used blockchain for payments across all payment processors that release data publicly for years. Check out Bitpay, CoinGate, Bitrefill, etc. Litecoins consistently top 3. New coins may have a tech or speed advantage, but coins like LTC have a decade+ of trust. New coins with heavy marketing budgets need to attract users. Right now they aren’t getting it done.

AlbiBambi

I actually use LTC for payments where crypto is accepted. It's conventient, but I never treated it as an investment tbh

jaimewarlock

It is used a lot in peer-to-peer exchanges due to it's 1 minute confirmation times. Put some LTC into escrow, wait for a confirm, someone sends you the money, you release the escrow. Usually only takes a couple minutes total. Try that with BTC and if you get unlucky waiting for the next block and that escrow confirmation can take hours. Longer if the network is busy and you didn't use a large enough fee and your transaction gets stuck in the mem pool. Once that happens a couple times, most people switch to another crypto coin with faster block times.

MisterMephistopheIes

If you just held spy instead of holding Bitcoin or other crypto, you would have made more money, that's a mathematical fact. And I'm talking about the past year, no shit BTC has a huge rise, I rode it from $20/BTC and $.25 LTC. My point is it's fucking dead now lol.

Hour-Track7844

I send LTC straight to coinbase from stake us all the time and my girl has sent LTC to PayPal from there multiple times

Timely-Fig2030

I know the website travala .com, where you can book flights, hotels and rent cars. They accept LTC and other currencies.

Beer101010

LTC, cheap fees, fast peer to peer payments. Also, privacy option (not as good a Monero but still). 14years of 100% uptime. Good crypto for payments, or transfer, comparared to many other L1

Yes I cash out LTC on coinbase from gambling and send it to my bank at least once a week

I know most look at price, but my comment was purely about fundamentals. BTC,ETH,LTC and several others from the early days are showing on chain growth. Not death like one would expect if they were indeed worthless

I_argue_for_funsies

First owned was BTC... but that led to... BtcTalk mining forums where I built multiple Radeon 290x rigs to mine POW coins. I mined some of the earliest blocks of DOGE. Was a /r/Dogillionaire many times over. Still have my Josh Wise #98 shirt... Lost 10+ million doge and more than 300 LTC in the Moola/Mintpal exchange drama. Quadriga happened but lucky I had nothing in there... Then capitulated into Cryptsy in 2015 only to have Vern fuck me again in 2016. Multiple BTC and LTC gone again... In 2016 I was reignited by ETH and activated old shit coin wallets and dumped them all on Cryptopia (mostly Mintcoin lol). Ended up with double digit BTC. Bought a lot of Antshares. I still have a giant folder of wallet.dat files around that I have no idea what they are for. So many wallet app clones

MonthlyWeekend_

Bought USD$1000 of LTC in 2013, bought somewhere at or close to the absolute peak. I can’t remember the price. Used some dodgy app on my credit card. Back then I don’t think there was an on-ramp at all for my fiat currency. Even today there’s only one. To this day I couldn’t tell what app that was, my login, or how I would get it out. I mean I wouldn’t be a millionaire, but it sure would be useful.

> I don't see any tangible difference between LTC and BCH Not gonna lie, that's on you bro 😎😄. Just one example: BCH doesn't have a crippling Blocksize limit. And can dogma free take the best upgrade path as hard fork or soft fork. > LTC and BCH tbh, both hover around a similar market cap and occasionally swap positions, and both are marketed towards p2p transactions (neither one has significant uptake). LTC overtook BCH as "BTCs silver" when BCH was up against all the maxis selling. But since BCH overtook LTC again there was only a single short lasting time where LTC was above it. LTC mainly rides on the shame free transactional blockchain for maxis when the BTC blockchain is clogged. > LTC implemented it's privacy feature much earlier and has seen negligible usage, I don't see any reason why BCH would be different, As far as I followed that development it wasn't a well received implementation and I think I remember someone claimed they broke it already?!? But to be fair I'm not sure on that. >I don't see any reason why BCH would be different Because BCH was always privacy oriented and Cashfusion has been used for a while already. Now you can have scaling, zk-privacy and smart contracts on one Bitcoin chain.

Systemonly69

Initially mined BTC in 2015 and sold in 2016, then buyed Harmony ONE in 2020 and made a profit and then purchased LTC thinking it would go to $300.

Sufficient_Fuel5269

First coins always tell the story of the cycle you entered. LTC/BTC is pure 2017: Minimalist Coinbase, FOMO and discovery. Today the gateway is memecoins and L1 of fashion. The pattern always changes, the essence does not.

Minute-Lake-1819

That’s a good point. I remember gifting people some LTC between 2018-2021 to give them their first crypto exposure. And making use of the BTC referral promos. Good times

mrjune2040

I don't see any tangible difference between LTC and BCH tbh, both hover around a similar market cap and occasionally swap positions, and both are marketed towards p2p transactions (neither one has significant uptake). Litecoin has 10 times more daily transactions and 5 times the volume in USD terms- mostly because it still has the advantage of merged mining with Doge so there is a somewhat continuous demand. LTC implemented it's privacy feature much earlier and has seen negligible usage, I don't see any reason why BCH would be different, they really do occupy the exact same space in the broader crypto landscape.

mrjune2040

Yes, but there are a ton of optional privacy solutions that are EVM compatible that have been around a while now- they work great and already have a huge addressable audience of active addresses. BCH is never going to be useful as a liquidity proposition for DeFi- it missed it's chance to scale with smart contracts by about 6-7 years. BCH is in exactly the same position that LTC is in, which is to say a very distant secondary PoW protocol, while trying to be a half-baked quasi privacy & smart contract play. It didn't work for LTC, it won't work for BCH.

What ?! Ever heard about Decentralized exchanges ? Plus, even if you were right, you think it'd be difficult to swap to LTC and then to fiat ? I don't think you know a lot about XMR

I think he'd be better off finding a reliable project to offer new bonds for. Like Litecoin, crytpo silver. He could sell Silver Bonds for a premium and he'd send LTC from $45 to over the moon prices doing it. Just a few billion would turn into trillions quick.

>Data. There are only 3 pos chains that have survived a decade. bro... you start with "Data" and then give the most tiny inconsequential meaningless dataset.... PoS are newer than PoW, of course there are less that lasted a decade, that isn't a meaningful measurement of anything. >There are dozens of pow chains still around from a decade ago. And besides BTC, LTC, DOGE, DASH, XMR, and ETC, how many PoW chains that launched at that time are dead? All of them. >And generally pos chains are replaceable. ??????????? >When new tech comes along it’s far more likely for a POS chain to shut down than it is a pow chain. ????????? lol... literally all the new tech is PoS and when new tech comes out, none of the old chains are shutting down. What sort of fantasy world is your head stuck in? Are you being serious in this thread or are you trolling?

After 4 years of seeing only loss from owning LTC I decided to finally trade it into Solana. So much missed profit over the years...

FlagFootballSaint

When I first joined crypto LTC had the #8 market cap, now it‘s #23

nails4coffee

I would hold LTC, ETH and XMR. And you can’t talk me out of it.

Systemonly69

I truly believe Solana (SOL) and Litecoin (LTC) will bounce back.

Givefreehugs

Seeing the 3 main ones, BTC, ETH, and LTC- makes sense. They’re the global standards over the past decade.

I was shorting LTC from $66, close short. Now looking at going long if we break out from iH&S. This is just one of the setup's I'm waiting to see if it breaks out. Also have a Link and XRP trade on (long). I do not think this is the bottom for the crypto market (though could be) I think theres still one more leg down, BTC around 40-45K. I think 40% chance we have bottomed, and 60% chance this is just a rally. Hence currently looking at longs. https://preview.redd.it/tmrocr8x2fdh1.png?width=3610&format=png&auto=webp&s=858925f7a9cb2c0413b8f427dbc1d40e72442644

Heres my take. 30% BTC NOW, 25-30% ETH maybe when it drops to 1500 again later in the year. 7% LINK, 7% QNT, 5% TAO, 5% LTC, last 15-16% can go straight into some stock or maybe even TON coin they offer 17% apy on staking on tangem. Not bad if the price stays at 1.60 but tbh not all in on TON yet. But you could also add UNI, has big boys in there BlackRock

Lens_Vagabond

Halving is in a year. Also, the LTC ecosystem is expanding with layer 2 type developments (litvm). I’ll make an educated guess and say if you’re patient, you will make profit.

Feel your pain bro. I had LTC transferred out of my Exodus wallet a few years back. Absolutely gutted. I know use a cold wallet and if crypto picks up again I'll probably sell it all and be done with it.

crawlpatterns

Id probably just create a new wallet and transfer the LTC since the network fee is usually pretty low anyway

DangerHighVoltage111

You should at least accept BCH, LTC and XMR these are the usual payment blockchains. BTC is slow as hell if it is not LN. For Bitcoin Cash there are these full blown payment options: https://prompt.cash https://nowpayments.io/supported-coins/bitcoin-cash-payments https://www.bitrequest.io And the simplest one I could find: https://scantopay.cash/#/ Just to give you and idea what exists.

That won’t really help in this case. The problem isn’t swapping LTC or getting better rates, it’s that Exodus and Cake Wallet use different derivation paths, so Cake Wallet can’t see the existing Litecoin addresses from the same seed. To move LTC over, the user either needs to: - Manually import the correct private key from the Exodus LTC account into Cake Wallet, or - Send the LTC from Exodus to the new Cake Wallet LTC address (the simplest and safest option). Swapping tokens doesn’t fix the underlying derivation‑path mismatch.

nose_noticer

F NO. Try monero BTC LTC

quantum_burp

There are still people buying LTC.. I wouldn't be so sure that OP will realise, even by 2030

MauriceMcGuinness

Yea LTC will definitely be around with a price tag of around 1500-4000 per coin

1dabaholic

Charlie Lee literally wash traded LTC working at Coinbase. That’s why. He dumped that shit

NonVideBunt

Give it up. LTC is dead. Just let go.

rankinrez

LTC’s big selling point was “bitcoin but with some small improvements for payments”. People have long since given up on the idea anyone would use crypto for payments. It lacks a story to hype it up.

rflo24

because LTC is old code and has security vulnerabilities
