Reward-Drop ETA date: 15 Aug 2019 16:39:16

Litecoin's block mining reward halves every 840,000 blocks, the coin reward will decrease from 25 to 12.5 coins.


LiteCoin has made HUGE gains again lately, for various reasons.

-- The policy/politics of Bitcoin and their struggles to address the scaling issues, the potential resulting (now, NEXT) fork from these issues, 3-5 types (forks) of $BTC on the market and more potentially coming, it is kind of a mess. But improving.

LiteCoin has none of these problems, and in fact, their miners DID adopt SegWit activation about 5 mths. ago now.

LiteCoin shares the Bitcoin codebase, if you did not know. They have implemented the Lightning Network as well a few weeks ago.

Learn more on that here in my LiteCoin SegWit Series I ran months ago on that issue with lots of good info:

This is nice! LTC is starting to get recognize now. Thanks for the update sir! @barrydutton

Yeah, SatoshiLite (Charlie Lee) is the man. He is now super active behind making Litecoin a Super coin.

Many new things to come and already achieved by Litecoin;

  1. Lightning network is prime time on LTC. That's a big thing for micro transactions. Person A to A is achievable. They are now working on person A to person Z through some party in between who has links to both A & Z. That's bit challenging so may take some time.
  2. LTC is also planning to implement stealth, i.e private transactions. Similar to Monero.
  3. Going forward LTC will have support for color coins; similar to ERC20 tokens. So ICOs could be held using LTC.
  4. The team is thinking on including smart contracts as well.
  5. Not to forget, SEGWIT was first successfully deployed by LTC and then BTC.
    BTC will be the KING and have an application as Currency but LTC will be much more than that.
  6. Also Transaction fees would be extremely low than BTC always.
  7. LTC transactions would be always faster and lighter than BTC.

LTC is catching up the gap between Bitcoin and itself. Technically the ratio is 1BTC to 4 LTC which doesn't seem likely but 1BTC to 30LTC seems possible in near future.

I won't be surprised to see LTC in between 120 to 160 soon. Keeping my fingers crossed. Three cheers to Litecoin and the man behind it. This is a golden opportunity hidden behind the Silver. Invest wisely...

I want LTC to really really make it BIG time for lots of reasons.

Not all of which have all to do with my holding some, for my own gain either.

I believe it can honestly help change the world.

@mralan, Yes I do agree that Charlie Lee is very active on twitter but it's not just the tweet text that matters but the meaning behind it. Yes, he is promoting his own coin but he is also making amazing enhancements as stated above. He is making many tweets but when people realize and know the real potential it starts rising.
Also if it would have been just a pump due to his tweet, I am sure it would have gone back low by now. Litecoin's potential is immense and $100 by this year end is sure. Though doing your own research is very important and that's the reason I mentioned LTC's progress above so that people are aware of the good changes happening to the coin.

Litecoin is far better than BTC, fast and has a lower transaction fee. The only reason why BTC is on top is not.becasue of the demand and its value, but because the wall street investor is enjoying buying and selling. But in the real world, steem, litecoin, ETH and flashcoin is faster and far better than BTC, in my opinion.

Not just faster transactions @cloudspyder. It is suddenly growing for many reasons and not just one. Fluctuations is part of cryptos as it is traded across the globe but still whales could manage to fluctuate it by pumps and dumps.
But check out my comment on this post. Hope you get some idea with the development of this coin and the reason for this spike. Invest wisely...

Thanks for the comments, I feel similarly.....

Gonna see the break through 100 very soon !

ANY one know the reason why litecoin is up?i hold some and happy about it but still what is the real application of litecoin?

#LiteCoin

is a beast!!

Truth revealed decades ago on popular tv show: https://dtube.video/#!/v/ragetester/6xicf9st
Feed the government! Or was I looking for a different f word?
Spread the word, save the world!

Litecoin has been so under-valued for so long, that everyone who was watching knew this was coming...

I remember back in 2014 when we wondered how long it would take to break $20 again LMAO. Well worth the wait!

Too bad I lost most of my LTC on Cryptsy... Literally bought in the day before the whole thing went down... :'(

I've heard a lot about that, even this week again..

I am sorry to hear that, honestly I am.

For my money, this coin takes too much computing power to mine.

Then they call it Lytecoin...

Upvoted and also resteemed!

We love you Taylor.

Do you have some BTC to go with those songs of your Ex- Boyfriends??

LOL.

(:

Nice Taylor

Good news for all of us LTC hodlerz. Nice to see it all here, thanks for putting it together.

I love LTC!

Thanks for the nice words too!!

Hey, what can I farm with my GTX 960 and would bytecoin ever rise? Thank you

Yes, LTC is finally growing up :)
I think this is a bubble and maybe he will go under 60$ again ( that's my thinking ). Anyway I profit because of this ;)
Nice post indeed, very informative.

It isn't a bubble my friend. It is suddenly growing for many reasons and not just one. Fluctuations is part of cryptos as it is traded across the globe but still whales could manage to fluctuate it by pumps and dumps.

Check out some of my posts / LTC 101 posts on all that over the months, you will learn a lot!!!

Still a great time to get into Litecoin!

I love it so much LOL

CoinBase factor. I found out today when a friend said they will only buy on coinbase because it is easy.

Nice to see LTC bounce back in a big way!

I friggin love LTC so much.

I heart the LTC.

It is incredible to watch the rise of LTC. Perhaps the BTC/LTC combination is the secret to a functional blockchain economy - when BTC is too slow and expensive, people will shift to LTC for faster/smoother transactions.

HeyMattSokol

shows up, drops the truth....

When do we see the HeyMatt coin??????

I've been pre-occupied lately, but thankfully, you're keeping an eye on this stuff. I can always get a great re-cap, quickly, about the major goings on from these posts. Thanks, bud!

It's a Rag Tag blog Eddie...... but I muddle along the best I know how.

#Liberty or Death!!

Litecoin is about the only joy in crypto for me this month (except for 10 OMGs I had in cold storage).

Earth Shattering day for the top 3 Crypto-Giants.

Bitcoin broke the all-time record!
Ethereum just broke its all-time record.
And --- LiteCoin (This quiet, unassuming coin is making massive moves and, as you know, shattered its all-time record too)!

About time Litecoin gets the recognition it deserves I bought a ton at $4 a pop and value it at about $150 so far my predictions back with some info are paining out very well :D

Giddyup, to the moooooon!

LTC will keep Mooning
LTC transactions super fast.
Faster than you all guys jajaja jk

What causes the hype? Any news?

Many new things my friend;

what i been waiting For

Litecoin price will raise if the lightening network launched at the end of 2017 or Q1 2018.

it's so strange that's why get so many upvote, I wish we could give a upvote.

a minute silence for all those who believe 1TBC =43BTC🤣🤣🤣

Just starting my education of cryptos, so excuse my uninformed question. How do you evaluate the possibility of a certain crypto will go up. Is it based on the utility of the coin? Since there are so many, it's difficult to figure a method of evaluating if the crypto is a good or bad investment.

It's the wild west of cryptos right now, but your idea is one way for that to be evaluated.

It is kinda crazy times right now.

I do not invest in coins or people I do not believe in, so similar.

If a coin does not solve a problem, or present a use-case fix, I don't consider it really even for speculation in most cases.

Good point.

Out of date old news. More than 22 hours old.

It already went over $95.

And you're advertising $70???

Get with it man, LOL

My new update post went up on this about 3 hrs ago LOL!!!!!

I am no further behind than the Canucks' defence!!!

Very informative post.

What did you like about it specifically??

The detailed analysis about LTC.

Thanks for commenting!!!

Good points in this post. Same mindset here. Many people say the prices of cryptos are high but we also thought that about Amazon, Apple and Facebok last year. I found this great website: https://www.coincheckup.com Supposingly they researched every crypto coin in the scene based on: the team, the product, advisors, community, the business and the business model. They even score the coins stengths. Check: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Litecoin#analysis For the Litecoin Investment analysis.
