“Recently, there has been a concerted effort to suppress Litecoin price by people/funds that are shorting LTC and by groups that see Litecoin as a threat. I will clear up this FUD and show why Litecoin has tremendous value. Litecoin has one of the most secure networks of all altcoins. Litecoin has over $150MM of ASIC hardware protecting it. Litecoin dominates Scrypt mining by far.â€Furthermore:
“Litecoin processes $200MM worth of transactions each day. And the network has worked flawlessly for 7 years! Litecoin works today as a global decentralized sound money, that can’t be censored, can’t be reversed or taken away, can’t be counterfeited, and can’t be devalued. Many of the LN clients and apps also support LTC because they see the value of Litecoin. With atomic swaps, LTC interoperates with BTC on the Lightning Network.â€This sort of feels like when a teacher is accusing a pupil of misbehaving to its parents, and the parents then go on a defensive assault, quoting random facts and claims to try and debunk the teachers accusations. Though, we all know the kid probably was caught stealing at school, the teacher just has to deal with the fact that in the parents eyes, the kid can do no wrong. Even with this in mind, Lee is highlighting that Litecoin still has a very promising future. Indeed, we agree. The project is growing from strength to strength, recovering from the flop of LitePay and striving for adoption in many other ways, I’d say Litecoin is probably in the strongest position it has even been in before. Even so though, Lee does seem to disregard the fact that Litecoin is very undervalued at the moment and he disregards that over the past few months, Litecoin has really struggled to hold value in the same way it’s rival and neighbour cryptos have. In order to recover, Litecoin need to seek out new listings and new uses. This is a cryptocurrency with a real potential for adoption, therefore Litecoin needs to be accessible and seen as a sensible option by the real world. Quoting lightning network and talking about scrypt mining isn’t the way to reassure the mainstream crowd, instead, maybe Lee now needs to recognise that he has a slightly less tech-savvy crowd watching him and that now is the time to start clearing things up, ready for Litecoins next drive for adoption? Otherwise, ignore the FUD, Litecoin is doing just fine. References Ethereum World News
