That's what I figured. I get that merchant adoption and liquidity are important, but at the same time, you still have to get people to notice that you exist. Litecoin is failing completely at that right now. They can't grow their userbase if they aren't doing anything to get people's attention. And if the userbase shrinks (which seems a far more likely outcome than growth) then they're going to have less liquidity and merchants aren't going to waste their time supporting a coin that no one uses. It just sounds as though they want to do nothing and ride on Bitcoin's coattails.

Are you asking about the technology or the price?Litecoins is based on the bitcoin source code. Litecoin offers three key differences from Bitcoin.The first two are not big differences. The number of maximal coins is simply a number set in the source code and the processing time is not a big difference.The litecoin network is smaller than the bitcoin network.

In all honesty, it seems to me that a cryptocurrency with a $50 million marketcap is important enough to have a lead developer that makes the job his "title role" and all other endeavors secondary.But I guess working for a semi-famous boss that hates Altcoins makes it hard to say anything other than "development is not needed". If this had been the attitude of Henry Ford we'd all be driving around in fancy horse carriages.

I doubt all the others will follow foot like LTC is at the moment. LTC has been around for a fair amount of time being BTC little sister but the problem with LTC is that theis no dev team hardly any updates and seems to be going under. If they got their acts together they would have a much stronger coin.They are many alts striving right now and some are creping up the ladder fairly quick and soem others with good progressive and time served increases. If LTC gets knocked out then gives ohers the chance to be better and replace it. Same really for BTC only takes one alt to be better than the main ones. Only reason BTC is at the top is because of how many use it and how big it is getting. If their was other alts around as long as BTC and had as many services then they would be somewhere around the top. Time will tell and I know of a few that might indeed nock out BTC and LTC

all this development dribble is scammed into your heads by the 'innovation' to sell snake oil crowd. what crypto is meant to be; CURRENCY what it is not; A MISSION TO MARS. all the 'innovations' todate i see add complication, when the bases for these all come from, is already TOO complicated to be successful for mass adoption. Litecoins got it right. Time will show that.

I think that is a good question! One of them is cheap fast transaction times and a bigger supply, i would say litecoin is good for all and any small purchases and bitcoin is the best and most secure for the larger more serious transactions. I have no hate for litecoin i believe they both have their place just bitcoins place is sealed and is not budging as the daddy of crypto.. Litecoin can carry on licking the bottom of Bitcoin.
