RE: Why I'm Buying Litecoin - LTC - Today - Even at 47 bucks a pop.

That's a great question, and I'm not a Segwit expert...

I look at LTC as a hedge. I can't imagine all three Coinbase coins will move in lockstep forever - though ETH and BTC seemed to move for the past couple months in a pretty similar pattern.

BTC activating Segwit would not necessarily be a bad thing for LTC; there's a name recognition pattern there, but I honestly think people will be looking for a coin that could become "the next BTC." Or the next ETH. And so on.

As always, your investment could go to zero - so that remains a possibility, too.

Sort:  

Makes perfect sense as a hedge. And all kinds of exchanges seem to be adding LTC lately.

Thanks for the reply! I never considered LTC as a hedge. I remember when I first got into crypto about a month ago I was looking for "the next BTC" and ironically I ended up buying a small amount of LTC because of it so you are definitely right in that aspect!
