Waiting for redemption with LTC

LTC compared to ETH .. absolutely no brainer .. 74.4 million LTC outstanding compared to 120.1 million ETH. Hard cap on 84 million.. ETH has no cap. ETH fees are beyond stupid, the last time I tried using it was 40% gas fees.. LTC was .01% on 40,000 (40.00 )… the disillusion blinding the current wave of crypto speculators will payout over time. I firmly believe we see LTC crossing 1000 at some point in 2025… I just converted 45,000 DOGE into 100 LTC today.. so I’m putting my money where my mouth is. The goal is to achieve 1000 LTC by October 2024

Hi Litecoin bulls! Would you recommend some research sources I could use?

The more I dig into Litecoin the more of a hodling bull I'm gonna become on this stuff. I'm amateurish in my knowledge about LTC but want to have a comprehensive understanding of the tech. Does anyone have any particularly useful YouTube channels, podcasts, crypto news outlets that will teach me the advanced segments of Litecoin? Any and all input is deeply appreciated. Thankyou.

Hello, Old Friend Litecoin

LTC was my third crypto buy ever after BTC and ETH in 2017. It was great back then to have an alternative option when the other chains were congested. I held it for some time but then sold it as I invested in different projects. I'm once again interested in LTC. Have there been any significant changes to the chain in the last few years that one should know about? They Community is alive and well, which is fantastic!

Thanks, Litecoin Fam!

How do I save electrum-ltc-wallet on tails?

I already have the application saved under tor/persistent, but this way I always have to recover my wallet using my seed. How can I prevent this ? I know it has something to do with these dotfiles but I don’t get it, I’m a noob sry

LTCN Up 600% in past 6 months

All I can say is “see you at the top”. Changed many people lives already. One of the biggest benefit of holding instead of native is the ability to buy it in IRAS account for tax benefits. Holding both is probably the best option, but so many people are still doubting and hating. Their losses.

Help with Litewallet iOS issue

I reinstalled Litewallet on iOS.

I used my key to restore the wallet, and synced the blockchain.

However, the balance still shows as zero. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Litecoin supply crunch incoming!

With the recent uptick in price and volume, exchanges are going to be struggling to keep up with the demand. I am already hearing about some exchanges taking a long time to send LTC to private wallets.

Now would be a great time to take your coins off of exchanges in my opinion. Not only will this ensure your coins safety, but also help LTC discover its true price per coin.

The demand for LTC is much higher than we think.

Is it normal if it’s been over 12 hours since I tried sending my ltc from kraken to electrum-ltc-wallet ? What could I have done wrong ?

Another Litecoin billboard pops up on I-95 near Philly!

The original was found a few weeks ago in the southbound direction before the exit for 676.

https://x.com/gin_jerrell/status/1767601484760293606?s=20

I did not see the one posted on X today, I think it has since been replaced. But this new one is located heading northbound just before the Academy road exit!

Issue with Litecoin Core?

I'm pretty new to the crypto scene and have been using Litecoin Core for a couple months now with no problem, but I got these errors when I was loading it up today:

https://preview.redd.it/a2z3mxd8aqqc1.png?width=801&format=png&auto=webp&s=84fabed48f436c2996f759552dfbcc01e7fe32c0

After I hit OK, the program closes itself. I've tried restarting it a few times, nothing.
I did a few minutes of Googling, naturally, and all the solutions offered involved deleting everything except "wallet.dat". I would do that, except I can't locate that file in my directory at all. The only file I can find is "litecoin-wallet.1" which looks like it could be the same thing but, being new to all this, I can't be sure and don't want to backup/delete the wrong files.

What do I do from here?

Current BTC to LTC Ratio 768

Well above the historical Average even with the curve for the new ETF inflows. We are due for a big rally at some point in the next 30-60 days. In my opinion at a 500 ratio is about 140 per LTC. Historically it was less than 300 the majority of 21-2923 and in the late 2017 it was likely 20. In 2021 was 236 to 1

LTCN is a powerhouse

I genuinely fully believe in LTCN. Already up100-150% depending on which portfolio. Things are about to explode soon since we are close to breaking current resistance level. There is premium to grayscale trust which is why LTCN can go up significantly even if LTC does not as much. Grayscale trust can be more changing. Not a financial advisor. Just a young adult about to make life changing money thanks to LTCN.

Litecoin LL

So something I thought was interesting was if you are in Canada, and advertising on leolist (iykyk) a year or two ago litecoin became the only way to buy ads through them for a lot of people. You used to be able to use BTC, ETH or LTC, or some people lucked out and were permitted debit/credit, but now it’s just litecoin.

I’m not very knowledgeable in stocks/crypto, but I do wonder what it means if a large portion of the Canadian not-quite-black-market but black market is demanding LTC only, not even BTC. Going off historically, SW is one of the first areas that plays around in new money things like this, so I’m optimistic that has some significance for LTC?

Main reason I’m paying attention though: during the (bulls run? I honestly don’t understand the terminology here) big lift up of litecoin all my random “I’ll keep 5$ of each ad I pay for” random crypto buys turned into a four digit profit. I was surprised! I’ve mentioned it to a lot of other workers, especially when running workshops, that it doesn’t hurt to keep >10$ per ad in a stock/crypto wallet instead of using LTC machines that charge out the *** and you can’t save a thing. 🥸

Anyways, bought some weird meme coins with a small portion of the LTC profits and now I get to gamble too. 😊

What's the best way to liquidate a cold wallet

Hey everyone,

I need to sell some litecoin I bought in 2018. I have it on a USB.

I also have a coinbase account and am familiar with making withdrawals from there.

Looking for the best way to liquidate that litecoin on the USB. How can I get that on my coinbase account?

Thanks :)

Grayscale Friday inflows three times the mined LTC supply

On Friday Grayscale LTCN saw inflows of 13,970 of Litecoin.

The daily new supply of Litecoin is 3,600.

I've not seen such large inflows in a long time..

Is now a good time to make my first purchase of LTC?

I have some spare money (nothing crazy, nothing I’m not willing to lose) and I’ve been hearing lots of good things about LTC. I’ve done a bit of research, but I’m wondering if the community thinks now is a good time to buy LTC or if it is too high value right now?

If Bitcoin is gold Litecoin really is silver!

I know Charlie Lee made this claim when he created Litecoin. But the analogy has become more and more true as time goes on.

Bitcoin is the ultimate store of value. Everyone has accepted that. Litecoin is too, with the added benefit of faster blocks. This makes it easier to move around and actually use.

The fact that they use different hashing algorithms makes them work in perfect harmony together. Miners from bitcoin can’t come and take over Litecoin.

I think as Bitcoin and Litecoin continue to stand the test of time, investors will see this.

Litecoin deserves the number two highest market cap right next to bitcoin!

Hi there, returning to the crypto world after hiatus. What wallet do you like for LTC?

Had to sell off all my crypto for financial reasons in 2021, but im back and happy to be getting involved in the space again. Was mildly educated before but I wanna learn more. Main question for today is, what's your favorite LTC wallet? I prefer mobile wallets personally, so tell me what you use! The boys over at r/Bitcoin got me hooked on using Blue Wallet for my BTC hodl, is there anything similar for LTC? Thankyou in advance.
