Atomic swaps are gonna power up BTC and LTC both in real terms and in asset value. However until then they might flounder thanks to FUD and also the media coverage being a little strong still following the pre-Xmas boom. Ideal time to buy in now before the huge rise that's coming.
On another note: what do you think's the best crypto to be mining right now? Zcash/Eth/Monero? Or use nicehash and bank the BTC hoping for big gains this year?
DO NO CLOUD MINING! No point in mining cryptos when you can just hold Bitcoin.
