Litecoin pros & cons with related info are in the collapsed comments below.

Okay now I understand what the halving meant

[–]EdgeLord1994110K / 34K 🐬 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's like a rug pull lite

[–]StolenApe12 / 2K 🦐 10 points11 points  (5 children)

Now I understand what all the widespread litecoin shilling a couple of months ago was about

[–]partymsl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Will probably be the same with the BTC Halving, massive hype just weeks before it and we drop on the very day of it.

Typical Buy the rumor sell the news event.

[–]ShadowKnight3241 / 6K 🦠 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Remember, buy the rumor sell the news

[–]Impossible_Soup_19320 / 17K 🦠 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Same thing every time. For LTC it was the same last cycle too. Pre halving pump then dump

[–]Ben_Dover1234Dixie Normus was taken. -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Which is strange. Hopefully the economics of the coin comes into play and the reduced supply yields better prices.

[–]lostaga1n770 / 999 🦑 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes too much sense now, it was in every thread lol

[–]Bucksaway03 6 points7 points  (9 children)

It wasn't the halving they wanted.

[–]TruthSeeekeer 6 points7 points  (8 children)

The Bitcoin halving will be a bit better, right guys?

[–]_The_Chris_ 5 points6 points  (7 children)

Right?

[–]ShadowKnight3241 / 6K 🦠 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Looks at my bags

It better be...

[–]conceiv3d-in-lib3rty0 / 28K 🦠 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I’m straight up rioting if it isn’t.

[–]Ben_Dover1234Dixie Normus was taken. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably won't be on the very day of the halvening. But after a couple of months it will be.

[–]EveliaAvila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to.. it has to..

[–]my_lopsided_meat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie but when I heard of the halving in 2020 I thought it was the price going half of the current one. Well it eventually did but it was not actually the halving that people are talking about.

[–]Warm_Examination405Permabanned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't there a sell off just before the previous bullrun? 👀

[–]Dry-Computer-6516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yep not just the rate at which they’re mined but also the price

[–]InsaneMcFries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell the news as usual

[–]NinjaAssassino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing half of our hopes:(

[–]itsmezh93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah same pic

[–]EveliaAvila 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whales doing whales thing. Ill keep holding my LTC regardless.

[–]vhanke 28 points29 points  (36 children)

I remember the good old times where LTC went over $300

I wonder if it will reach it's ATH ever again...

[–]Impossible_Soup_19320 / 17K 🦠 6 points7 points  (1 child)

With inflation playing a part, reaching a new ATH would mean a much higher market cap as well. I think this will prevent many alts from reaching new ATHs

[–]NinjaAssassino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the upcoming bull will suprise us.

[–]Most_Being_40020 / 658 🦠 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont worry,LTC will do that,again..i believe,for me its BTC, ETH, LTC and RCP.we will see ath.

[–]raymv19870 / 3K 🦠 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible but I wouldn't bank on it. Same with Solana

[–]madridgalactico 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Its a dead coin. I know it hurts, LTC was one of my first holdings too. But it has no hype, it’s like the boring uncle you always invite to the party but never gets involved in anything and sits in the corner by himself all night

[–]ikatatlo 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I still use it just for the low gas fees transferring coins.

[–]madridgalactico 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Xlm works just as good for that situation!

[–]Charactur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even more dead coin

[–]Elgato_TJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But can sometimes be useful for something right

[–]iworkisleep14 / 2K 🦐 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every bull runs it hit ath, easy money

[–]conceiv3d-in-lib3rty0 / 28K 🦠 3 points4 points  (11 children)

I’m not even a bag holder and this hurts a little..

[–]Ben_Dover1234Dixie Normus was taken. 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Litecoin has been here for so long so it is sad to see it slowly decline.

[–]NinjaAssassino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dying out like rare species

[–]superduperdude922K / 12K 🐢 0 points1 point  (5 children)

We're all hurting a little after this bear. It's been a bitter cold winter. Super grateful for Moons throughout all of this though, they singlehandedly pulled me out of the red.

[–]leonl07 4 points5 points  (2 children)

With 15 moons?

[–]SoupaSoka5 / 7K 🦐 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He probably sold a bunch.

[–]Electrical_Tension415 / 2K 🦞 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol,I he's too optimistic and thinks moon will hit 100$ so his 15 moon will turn 1500.

[–]Mirtox8571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hurts because I can tell you're holding other bags of your own.

[–]Practical-Store9603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was and it still hurts

[–]NinjaAssassino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything about crypto hurts

[–]JGCheema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at these coins at ath and though well this is the future. Hurts to see that coins like LTC and SOL may never hit their ath again.

[–]Lokiee00772K / 3K 🐢 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Anything & Everything can go to their ATHs in a Bull Market. Similarly everything can get crushed in a Bear market no matter the hype or fundamentals.

[–]Electrical_Tension415 / 2K 🦞 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So in short everything is possible in crypto doesn't matter which market we're in

[–]Objective_Digit0 / 0 🦠 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not priced in BTC it won't. Ever.

[–]ShadowKnight3241 / 6K 🦠 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it still stays relevant during the next bull then it should eventually hit it's all time high if no other FTX happens.

[–]pwnti81 / 6K 🦐 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart news last year really gave me hope until it was fake news ;(

[–]Electrical_Tension415 / 2K 🦞 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care now cause I've already sold it following the buy high sell low strategy so this can't hurt me anymore

[–]Snoo_92843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have any but if it goes that low, that might change!

[–]T2LV0 / 2K 🦠 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I can say is somehow it stays relevant year after year so I think we can say in a decade it still should be top 20

[–]Popular_District9072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all time highs while repeating the old number won't have the same buying power, I think we need to add 10-15% to the ATH to set new expectations

[–]Electrical_Tension415 / 2K 🦞 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah, Litecoin going below 60, I once bought LTC at 250 and was thinking I bought the dip, we'll here we have a real dip now. Although I won't buy it now because now I think there are better projects

[–]ChemicalAnybody6229 5 points6 points  (2 children)

The price might increase in months to come since it just had its halving.

[–]Objective_Digit0 / 0 🦠 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a bull run maybe. And then fall 95%. Just hold Bitcoin.

[–]Lillica_Golden_SHIB7K / 61K 🦭 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, got to give it some time for supply shock to do its thing

[–]wylie2020197 / 198 🦀 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Gotta love a bear market it truely brings out all the FUD paracites with there idiotic doom and gloom....

The past speaks for itself, SAME SONG DIFFERENT DANCE, holders always prevail

[–]Mothrahlurker -1 points0 points  (7 children)

For 99.99% of coins holders are just exit liquidity and end up getting nothing.

[–]wylie2020197 / 198 🦀 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Emotional traders always get REKT, and yet they keep coming back. 😒 if you don't like those odds go to a casino, 😂😂😂

[–]Mothrahlurker -1 points0 points  (5 children)

Pretty sure that someone who says "Fud parasites" and "holders always prevail" like some religious mantra is very emotional.

[–]Clemedy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Poor LTC, i hope our loyal friend will grow again :)

[–]Tattiess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Litecoin the jack of all trades. I still hold some.

[–]roadbowler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love LTC to have mass adoption, it's quick and cheap to use.

[–]laughncow270 / 270 🦞 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lite coin is for people that think it’s cheaper than bitcoin lol 😂

[–]BradVet0 / 23K 🦠 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always had a soft spot for LTC, a true OG

[–]levipupu90 2 points3 points  (4 children)

So is it the right time to short it? Or the usual thing happens and it reacts to the news right the other way around?

[–]-_-DarthVader[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

There ain't no safe leveraging. Throw some disposable amount at it, and hope for the best, that's all, if you're really thinking about it.

[–]levipupu90 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Maybe i should just burn some cash or flush it in the toilet

[–]-_-DarthVader[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Username checks out

[–]Oddsee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

or flush it in the toilet

If you're talking about fiat then yeah put that shitcoin where it belongs.

[–]42326041 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The real halving was not about the supply it was about the price ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[–]Oddsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it was about the friends we made along the way.

[–]shenanigans_101 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Oh no, one more coin in risk of going down, lie any other coin :O Anyway... hows the weather?

[–]-_-DarthVader[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

18°C and partly sunny, wonderful day if you keep your portfolio closed.

[–]shenanigans_101 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Quite cloudy here but im ready to go touch some grass. Seen enough red

[–]-_-DarthVader[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Grass is green, good enough for me

[–]shenanigans_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, remembering the good times LOL

[–]CreepToeCurrentSea2K / 50K 🐢 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Halving hype is already over, back to the caves.

[–]Snoo_92843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We didn't get that pump that ppl were talking about did we

[–]leplouf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old "Bitcoin silver". There is no second best.

[–]Sweaty_Wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy the deep

[–]skyvin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Litecoin taking its own name literally.

[–]iworkisleep14 / 2K 🦐 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good. Reload the bag below 60 is nice

[–]searchingtruth1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No BTC halving fomo for me...convinced something else will be the powder, not sure what will light fuse.

Still respect LTC and will use it again...

[–]Objective_Digit0 / 0 🦠 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pointless coin.

[–]fiercygoatTin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

halving is very overrated event

[–]endless_ness2K / 2K 🐢 2 points3 points  (0 children)

problem with liteoin is it has no community.

[–]ParadoxSebx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is Litecoin FUD. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

[–]Impossible_Soup_19320 / 17K 🦠 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Stick to Bitcoin in my opinion. Lower risk, higher rewards (so far)

[–]Bongressman8K / 8K 🦭 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Not an opinion, objective fact. Boggles why people waste their time with LTC. Short term prospects are worse, long term prospects are a lot worse. Maybe the ETF approvals will finally shake people awake.

If you put a dollar into crypto, it makes the most sense to put it into BTC.

[–]RealLilacCrayonBronze -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Short term prospects??? Dude you have any idea how old litecoin is?

[–]Bongressman8K / 8K 🦭 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I do, short term... meaning short term price action. Long term it doesn't do much better. LTC spikes on occasion, but never by much. And it has barely moved for most of its decade plus life. It will continue to barely move. There will be no LTC ETFs because institutions dont care, and the masses won't adopt it as anything more than a crypto museum piece, a historical curiosity.

P.S. it's not older than BTC, which is where LTC dollars should be going if you are interested in any sort of real return.

[–]TripleReward32 / 4K 🦐 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Remember that the creator sold all at peak ATH while telling others to hodl.

Fuck LTC

[–]samer109 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What! Didn't know about that /: be safe people, don't end up as someone's exit liquidity..

[–]Dwaas_Bjaas 3 points4 points  (3 children)

But the halvening guys! The halvening!!

/s

[–]-_-DarthVader[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Halved my portfolio, great success

[–]Snjordo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We see this every 4 years

LTC bagholders get excited before the halving ibly to get disappointed after it

[–]DAMG8080 / 4K 🦠 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch...

[–]MindlessBadger2812K / 2K 🐢 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find memories of lite coin - never held it buy it was one of the first ones I ever hear of

[–]Consistent_Many_18580 / 20K 🦠 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Litecoin price litterly halved after halving. I bought few coins before halving which I'm now regretting.

[–]watch-nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ghost chain

[–]AbsoIution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy the dip....right...? That's what people keep saying...

...right?

[–]Jabanger0 / 2K 🦠 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it fell below 50 I'd def pick up like 10 coins I mean at that price very little risk

[–]sandpaperboxingmatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that hurts

[–]mazyar_lpPermabanned 5 points6 points  (10 children)

Why still litecoin exists? Charlie lee the founder sold all of his coins in top in late 2017 Why anyone should buy this when its founder doesn't believe it anymore And what is the use case when we have 10s of low fee crypto currency even lower than litecoin?

[–]partymsl 2 points3 points  (1 child)

LTC founder selling it all in 2017 and LTC still surviving just shows how much endurance it has.

Some minor whale selling right now won‘t do shit to it.

[–]mazyar_lpPermabanned -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What is the use case? Payments? We have all other alternatives with lower fee

[–]loulan 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Should we not use bitcoin because Satoshi disappeared too?

The opinion of the founder is only the opinion of one person.

[–]mazyar_lpPermabanned 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What about use case i mentioned there?

[–]loulan 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What use cases would bitcoin have that litecoin doesn't have?

[–]mazyar_lpPermabanned -1 points0 points  (1 child)

If you want payment system there is other coins with better fees . Lite coin is just a fork and cant compare it with bitcoin

[–]loulan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Litecoin is literally bitcoin with improvements only.

[–]strongkhal70 / 15K 🦐 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Because people still use it, I do too. It's very reliable and light

[–]confused_alien_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What do you use it for?

[–]strongkhal70 / 15K 🦐 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheapest fees when sending or withdrawing, it is supported absolutely everywhere

[–]InternetStrang3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess their bags became lite whilst the small fry got heavy

[–]Embarrassed-Bowl-230 3 points4 points  (2 children)

As expected by some analysts it was a sell the news event. I hope not too many people here got burned.

[–]ponililo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too im an analyst, buy the rumor sell the news

[–]Mean-Argument3933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was expected after the halving

[–]3337jess0 / 0 🦠 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone hold litecoin now that bitcoin’s lightening network is here?

[–]Harold838383 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Ltc historically pumps before the halving. It hardly pumped and people still sold the halving news. Not great news for litecoin

[–]ponililo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one knows shit about fuck. History doesn’t have to repeat it self

[–]HiCarumba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just thinking that. That's not good at all. They've had their halving and nothing happened. I hope that isn't a portent for the BTC halving.

[–]LuganoSatoshi892 / 90 🦑 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Litecoin will tank..

[–]mesutdmn23K / 68K 🦈 2 points3 points  (3 children)

LTC before and after halving pricing was an example of what will happen near the BTC halving; We might get a boost on the price and then immediately drop.

[–]rootpl21K / 85K 🦈 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical "buy the rumours, sell the news" type situation.

[–]ponililo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the rumor sell the news yes

[–]Gr8WallofChinatown4K / 4K 🐢 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that is not true. Litecoin is a different network and has different conditions.

Litecoin only had relevance due to merge mining and name of it being “ a cheaper bitcoin”

The reality is that lower block rewards means less people will mine it and the network gets weaker.

Bitcoin is different because it has huge corporations behind it

[–]raresanevoice0 / 6K 🦠 0 points1 point  (14 children)

A great buying opportunity if one is interested.

Course, that's most of the market right now

[–]DanFran812K / 2K 🐢 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly have such a soft spot for Litecoin. Feel like a lot of the community do. I’m hoping that when the bull run eventually comes then people will remember LTC and come back.

[–]lucashcy_97Permabanned 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Yup if it's dump people gonna grab the opportunity

[–]rootpl21K / 85K 🦈 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Personally I'm going to wait until the end of September before I buy anything else, September is known for big dips.

[–]ShadowKnight3241 / 6K 🦠 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe even short it if you tolerate a bit of a risk.

[–]Warm_Examination405Permabanned -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Riches are made during bear markets so grab your chance

[–]raresanevoice0 / 6K 🦠 1 point2 points  (3 children)

you wouldn't happen to need a kidney would you? i've got a spare

[–]Warm_Examination405Permabanned 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I actually do need one glad you asked! I offer 0.01 btc ;)

[–]raresanevoice0 / 6K 🦠 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I might have to negotiate there... At least a half BTC or a few eth surely. Healthy kidney, no questions asked

[–]n1ghsthade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crying in disbelief 😭

[–]Lokiee00772K / 3K 🐢 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is on sale, "Buy The Dip" chants all over the place.

[–]MikeDJunior3K / 3K 🐢 0 points1 point  (3 children)

LTC below $60 is a buy signal for me

[–]ponililo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch people wait for it to go “lower”

[–]ozen9190 / 621 🦠 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LTC under $60 is oversold

[–]Socialinfluencing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth not long after I joined the space in 2019 I was a noob and came here asking about Litecoin cause I didn't know anything. A bunch of people laughed at me and told me it'll be dead soon. It's still here and one of the OG's in the space. I don't hold any but power to those that do.

[–]conceiv3d-in-lib3rty0 / 28K 🦠 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not too worry about it yet. But I gotta be honest, I did not expect this play out like it has so far.

[–]ghochumal9K / 12K 🦭 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Litecoin is in buying territory under 60$ for me so i am hoping to get some 🤞

[–]SavageLeo19 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Buy the rumour sell the news at it's finest

[–]ogg_oggPermabanned 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Perfectly said

[–]TOXICCARBYPermabanned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It crossed $100 just a couple of months ago

[–]ponililo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if LTC will reach its ath again

[–]Drake99ethPermabanned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck here we go again

[–]changhuaneseFrom El Salvador to the Moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong halving…

[–]craigmorris780 / 171 🦠 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No regrets

[–]PowerConsistent454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe I roundtripped this thing from 30 to 300, twice...

[–]uwu2420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Litecoin mweb still difficult as fuck for a normal user to use? It’s truly one of the most depressing things about this coin, a feature that was so promising only to turn out to be DOA

[–]sadsissyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all Halvings starts bullrun. Litecoin has been crashing since it's halving.

[–]unit156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it drops lower. I’d like to accumulate more since Coinloan stole all mine. I’d had it since 2017, so I’ll never be able to buy it that low, but it would be nice to not pay an arm and a leg to replace it.

[–]Gossipmang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but I just don't see the point of litecoin. It's just old tech at this point without the branding on par with bitcoin or ETH.

[–]Tasigur1 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

The price of LTC right now is an amazing entry level. It will go easily back to 100$.

Normally I DCA into BTC but I think I grab some LTC as well.

[–]SlowpokesEmporiumRIP MOONS OCT 17th 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I've recently hit my BTC AND ETH goal so have chosen chainlink and litecoin as my first two alts to DCA into.

[–]Tasigur1 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is it possible to have enough BTC and ETH? 😅

[–]Silver-dutch0 / 6K 🦠 -2 points-1 points  (6 children)

Litecoin remains a bluechip, it will do great next bullrunn

[–]ponililo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t know that

[–]Gr8WallofChinatown4K / 4K 🐢 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was and will never be a blue chip.

It is a shitcoin

[–]Hope8888 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it’s still one of the most used cryptos for grey market payments

[–]S2K08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk towards the lite

[–]ponililo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great buying opportunity

[–]83nno -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m way down on LTC and have pretty much written it off at this point sadly.

I always liked the project.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ltc isnt going no where. Stack up. It isnt digital gold, but it is digital silver. I dont recall the network ever going down and i dont recall it being expensive to transact on the network

[–]Hope8888 -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

Litecoin will have its time to shine, be patient and you will be rewarded , great time to start buying

[–]ponililo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe that too

[–]Barchelonio -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I trust LTC with all my heart, it stayed up through so much, it can be compared to BTC. It will not go away.

[–]coinfeeds-bot136K / 136K 🐋 0 points1 point  (1 child)

tldr; Litecoin (LTC) price remains within the $65 - $68 territory after failing to break above $70. In August, Litecoin whale investors sold off 430,000 LTC coins, further exacerbating the LTC price downtrend. The tokens sold by the whales over the past month are worth approximately $27 million. This could potentially put LTC’s price in danger of dropping below the critical $60 support level. The LTC Futures Open Interest has now dropped to its lowest since November 2022, indicating a dearth in capital inflows. The lack of capital flows and the whale’s bearish trading activity could send Litecoin price below $60 in the coming weeks.

Good bot

[–]Popular_District9072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the little pump prior to halving was obliterated shortly after, any underlying danger if it goes below 60?
