I can't imagine having faith in a currency not backed by gold and silver.

What?

You guys are seriously buying cryto's and holding them longer than a day or without stop losses? I can't imagine waking up and down 25+% and then thinking that's a great buying opportunity. Gosh dang I don't have the constitution for that.

So this is huge guys. We have almost regained the losses from the nose dive early today. The .02 exchange rate compared to Bitcoin is a big deal, and we just hit it a little bit ago. The Bitcoin and ETH people are starting to migrate to the safer LTC.

Did you talk about segwit earlier ITT? i don't think I quite understand how that is driving up the price of litecoin

There's a lot to it but Litecoin still is tied to Bitcoin on the prices jumps and falls. Litecoin has more potential applications right now than Bitcoin does from an engineering perspective.

For one, Litecoin mines blocks every 2.5 minutes compared to 10 min for Bitcoin. So even without SegWit Litecoin confirms transactions faster. SegWit essentially quadruples the amount of information in each block. Litecoin already has activated SegWit, which proved its viability on Bitcoin(since Litecoin is just a fork of the core Bitcoin code). However there is such an internal struggle with HOW to fix the scaling problem for Bitcoin, and that's why Aug 1 will be interesting. They may not even get to that date and go another route.

I had mentioned this a while back but this is the other route.

There's still a chance of a chain split, but nobody knows yet for sure. We are kind in uncharted waters for the next few weeks guys.

Great! Sell now and take your gains in case it's a deadcat bounce. I'd at least set a stop loss to where I made a little money if it drops 25+% while you're sleeping.
