Overheard on Twitter

For laughs, fights, or genuinely useful information, let’s see what the most popular tweets pertaining to Litecoin for the past day were:

  • From TheBitfi:

    It kind of crazy that Litecoin & BitcoinCash have a much higher market cap than #DigiByte. That’s why we are buying as much as of it as we can. If everything was always at the price it should be, there would never be any way of making money from investing.

  • From lite_hause:

    Most Litecoin holders I’ve talked to don’t give a crap about Charlie Lee selling his coins. It seems like most people clinging onto this are other-coiners trying to find a reason to hate Litecoin.

  • From lite_hause:

    Opinion—
    Until Bitcoin’s layer 2 tech is seamlessly integrated, Litecoin will be essential for picking up BTC’s slack (refer to 2017, BTC=slow). I think we’re at least 5+ years from that.At that point, LTC will also have 2nd layer tech and will still likely be cheaper.
