RE: Unless This Changes, It Could Really Hurt Litecoin In The Long Run

BTC transaction fees are much higher than LTC bro. Though I'm amazed LTC are that high. If you send $100 worth of BTC right now your fee may be $45 of that so you only get $55. If you sent $100 of LTC right now you get to keep $98 or so of that as the fee is around $2. Still a high fee but much lower than BTC.

Sort:  

Well, I was basing it on the amount of Bitcoin taken for a fee vs. the amount of LTC taken. If I understand right, the transaction fees are a much higher fraction of the currency for LTC than for BTC If Litecoin was the same price as Bitcoin right now, then I think Litecoin's transaction fees would be much higher than Bitcoin in terms of dollars.

But yeah, I remember seeing someone on here saying BTC fees were currently as high as 50 dollars which is extremely high. It makes it not worth cashing out of any unless it's a large amount.

Yeah, I guess currently Litecoin's fees in USD are actually lower than what I had said because I was basing it on a 300 dollar price, and it's currently under that.

Ya I mean if a coin is priced at $1 per coin but the fees are $0.70 you're losing 70% of your money in fees..so what matters is percent lost for an equivalent dollars worth of coins.
