Buckle up, the ride is just getting started!

[barrydutton]

Can this be my retirement fund now?

LOL

#HODL !!!

[sandstorm]

Just roll with it!

[semantralist]

That 40% hype train. :^) Pepper your angus for the next few drops and everyone freaking out.

[barrydutton]

This news was coming for awhile. LTC means a lot to the Crypto-verse.

Pepper my angus, I like that a lot LOL

[semantralist]

I just hope that my cynical approach to this is shot down by an continual increase.

[barrydutton]

Well, How can I disagree with this

LOL

[lexikon082]

There will be another bump when lightning officially hits.

[semantralist]

I'm not aware of what you speak of. I am quite curious, so if it isn't too much to ask would you care to help a brother out and explain? [:

[lexikon082]

http://www.coindesk.com/could-litecoin-be-the-first-major-blockchain-with-lightning/. Shhh...It's our secret. It could really happen.

[clayboyn]

Slap a maple leaf on that logo and just make it a national currency, eh?

[barrydutton]

I would support that!!

[clayboyn]

Barry it's time to be 100% honest with us. You would support anything with a maple leaf on it wouldn't you? WOULDN'T YOU!!!!!

[barrydutton]

I am honestly less impressed with imaginary borders imposed on humanity by the rulers and the sociopaths than I used to be.

That is honest.

[clayboyn]

Mmmhhhmmmmm, I see, but you haven't answered the question about the maple leaf :P

[barrydutton]

Maple syrup is better.

That really should be the currency here.

or duct tape.

[clayboyn]

What about duct tape made of braided maple leaves using maple syrup as the adhesive?

[cipher]

I was going to buy a few days ago :/ too late?

[tfj]

Probably not. Always nice to diversify in solid investments.

[cipher]

This is true. The price definitely has room to climb

[tfj]

Especially if SegWit and Lightning are implemented before Bitcoin (which seems rather likely at this point).

[cipher]

Good point.. Hopefully I can get in at the right time haha

[barrydutton]

It depends on whether you believe in the coin and all their projects or not!!

Today was a moonshot day. You could still likely beat the crowds to get a couple today and see long term gains, I think you have yet to see the best of this coin with all the news they are connected to.

[cipher]

I agree completely. I believe in the long term for the coin but would rather not end up buying on a high haha

We did have many warnings that LTC would be added to Coinbase so I really should have been in sooner

[robvanvarenberg]

I think LTC will climb up to about 50$ in under two months. Because of segwit and maybe some news on about implementing the lightning network. What do you think?

[barrydutton]

I hope so myself!!!

Great news. Actually i bought 104 LTC just before SegWit locked up and the price unexpectedly fall slightly, finally LTC waked up.
Really i think LTC should reach at least 30$ short and 100$ long, it is doing what consider the most valuable thing to crypto space which is ending BTC scaling debate. Add to that a possibility of being an efficient side chain for BTC, that will make LTC a super-fast trusted coin for trading.
Thanks for the news @barrydutton, I thought the surge because of SegWit, i hope you are fine and enjoying.

[barrydutton]

Great reply... you covered so many important angles here I agree with.

Thanks for the kind words also!!! Be well!

[lexikon082]

I may have fallen in love with you Barry.

[barrydutton]

IDK if you are a guy or a girl but on a day like today, who cares LOL

I loveth me the Silver to Bitcoin's gold!!!!

go LiteCoin and Charlie Lee!!!

Thanks for commenting today!! It has been awhile, hope you are good !!

[opheliafu]

Not a bad day for Litecoin that's for sure! Now... will Lightning strike?

[barrydutton]

Oh yes, it is in this post actually in one of the official key screenshots of the day, that is the other reason LTC is mooning!!

I just love LTC so much, Charlie Lee is a neat dude who started it, for those of the noobs reading!

[peacekeeper]

I just purchased my first LiteCoin from my Coinbase account!!! woot woot !!!

[barrydutton]

I love it! LOL

Good for you!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!
