The Litecoin and Walmart Partnership is fake! Proof inside

SamsungGalaxyPlayer · 2021-09-13T17:31:31+00:00

This is specifically why we disallow press releases unless they are directly from the partner, and even so, we have additional requirements developed in response to years of shilling

Duxopes · 2021-09-13T14:00:06+00:00

Well it did seem kinda out of the blue

bexji · 2021-09-13T14:04:27+00:00

Yup according to Twitter:

⁠it’s not in their newsroom corporate.walmart.com/newsroom
⁠the wire account for “Walmart Inc” hasn’t posted anything else.
⁠the contact email is @ walmart-corp.com, which is owned by a squatter

Someone just trying to pump LTC. It kind of worked too.

originalgg · 2021-09-13T14:16:26+00:00

Did the LTC team seriously retweet a random tweet claiming Walmart partnered with them? Did they ever consider hmmmm we haven’t had any discussions with Walmart but alright let’s just retweet this.

cutsickass · 2021-09-13T14:04:19+00:00

Holy shit, are we witnessing a pump and dump in real time?

2021-09-13T14:12:31+00:00

Some people just got rekt

bbtto22 · 2021-09-13T14:01:17+00:00

Yeah but why would litecoin tweet about it and then delete, weird

AlperBulut505 · 2021-09-14T07:12:13+00:00

Lol i was gone like what 17 hours ? Litecoin ? Walmart ? What the hell happened to the market ?

Sylgamesh · 2021-09-13T14:26:06+00:00

I feel dirty. ~$300 profit based on fake news. Bought 6 coins @ ~$173 and sold during this spike @ ~$220

Dismal-Flatworm9065 · 2021-09-13T14:33:29+00:00

It has already been denied, they melted people's money again somehow

JoyradProcyfer · 2021-09-13T14:43:42+00:00

CONFIRMED BY CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/13/walmart-to-accept-payments-with-cryptocurrencies-using-litecoin.html

"Cryptocurrency litecoin gave up a 20% gain and tumbled back to earth following a fake press release sent out by GlobeNewswire that referenced a partnership with Walmart.
A Walmart spokesperson confirmed the press release is not authentic. Litecoin last traded down by 2%, according to Coin Metrics."

tl;dr It is NOT happening.

jaredbdd · 2021-09-13T14:22:39+00:00

This is actually so embarrassing for the crypto market in general. Fucksakes lol

This is sterling detective work OP, but not good for crypto. Pump and dump.

First with Long, with Short when the fake news came out. Nice pump and dump tactic

Sad-Dot000 · 2021-09-13T14:14:03+00:00

Literally evrything was just pump and dumped. Sentiment is getting weird and greedy , I’m really of the edge of pulling out profits , feel a big dip and bear market coming

paloskii · 2021-09-13T13:59:37+00:00

Moment's ago I considered buying Ltc, now is 30% more expensive....

civilian411 · 2021-09-13T15:52:32+00:00

I didn't even see any news about this. I guess I watch too much football.

drzentfo · 2021-09-13T14:15:03+00:00

I dislike how fake news is spreading just to manipulate the crypto market. It’s getting really annoying.

Edit: People doing “pump and dumps” are on my last nerves. Let crypto just be crypto, stop scheming and spreading false news, Actually put in work and research on the crypto you want to invest.

Educational-Spread41 · 2021-09-13T16:34:58+00:00

VeChain and WAL-MART is real

montaigne85 · 2021-09-13T14:37:35+00:00

Btw, how can you form a "partnership" with a decentrlized network? That's like saying you are gonna form a partnership with the internet.

So who would they be forming a partnership with, the LTC miners lol? Or is LTC centralized?

Crypto_Gui · 2021-09-13T15:02:42+00:00

This right here is DYOR

pizza-chit · 2021-09-13T15:32:38+00:00

Even the mainstream media got fooled. I don’t know who to trust

YaBastaaa · 2021-09-13T22:30:13+00:00

The person who wrote the article should bear some responsibility to writing the article without due diligence . Some one has to pay the pipe!!

tigerbait_ · 2021-09-13T23:48:09+00:00

What sucks is this could influence Walmart to not get involved with crypto. We need to find out who did this and send them to prison.

Flaming_Autist · 2021-09-14T03:18:19+00:00

our media is trash through and through

forthemotherrussia · 2021-09-13T14:50:24+00:00

I think news outlets did is on purpose. They had a lot of Litecoin and they just wanted to pump and dump it. It worked too. Litecoin's price went from $170 to $230 in minutes.. Now it's $170 again.

jorgehn12 · 2021-09-13T14:53:36+00:00

So the extra large bag I just bought was from fake news? God damn it. I’ll never get a lambo.

Charming-Dance-1839 · 2021-09-13T15:18:16+00:00

Thank you for exposing this.

Not to FOMO is always good

Old_Afternoon3853 · 2021-09-13T16:03:31+00:00

This manipulation is bad especially for those who have open leverage(d) positions. Many get liquidated in those flash seconds!

Everybody should have known. Nobody uses Litecoin for anything and never will.

Sopongebob123 · 2021-09-13T15:03:59+00:00

I feel sad for the guy who bought at the top. Will take some time to come back to that price but it's LTC so it will anyway

surrender_the_juice · 2021-09-13T14:01:40+00:00

It was hard to believe to be honest.

Feeling_Ad_411 · 2021-09-13T14:05:12+00:00

Thank you OP

Jeez I am too old for this shit. Nice work Cryptolombo!

You serious!?

Markets behaving badly. Must spank when I get home tonight.

Just another day in crypto 😂

-veni-vidi-vici · 2021-09-13T14:21:38+00:00

Pump and dump groups are getting creative.

JoyradProcyfer · 2021-09-13T14:40:54+00:00

So this article by Reuters, is bullshit? https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/walmart-accept-litecoin-payments-2021-09-13/

I'm gonna need some hardcore explanation here.

NvidiaRTX · 2021-09-13T15:05:48+00:00

Man this is why I stop trusting the news. Every single one of them, not just specific ones, and definitely not Facebook. But sometimes it's so tiring having to cross-validate everything since you can't rely on good journalism anymore.

Like if you know topic A well, and see a shitty article in the newspaper, it makes you question the content of every other topic X that you don't know.

rottiegal86 · 2021-09-13T15:41:28+00:00

Pump and dump at its finest...smh. Whoever controls the money, controls the media, don't listen to the news and get played by their FUD/FOMO. Pay attention to the charts instead.

efficientcatthatsred · 2021-09-13T22:13:35+00:00

Ppl still own litecoin? Lmao
