    I’ve spent 4 yrs of my life giving all my attn to #Litecoin #bitcoin #crypto. I’m over 40 now, and my parents don’t have much time left to enjoy life as they should. It’s time to share the fruits of my labor & have less regrets when they pass away. It’s a G thang homie!

    LTC is ready to be sent to Valhalla! This is heaven for only elite warriors. Zero downtime and in the top 10 over the past 10 years. It’s battle tested. It will be one of the first to pop when BTC settles. Price above $200 and LTC/BTC looks bottomed. Be ready! ?

    I love Litecoin. $40 to $200 is not bad. I’m way in the green but it is still my worst performing bag. I don’t think this bull market has really kicked off yet. It’s time will come and I got nothing but time.

Litecoin: MimbleWimble will be completed on March 15

The Litecoin Foundation describes MimbleWimble via Blockchain Extension as follows: (…) it will provide the benefit of hiding transaction amounts and improve scalability due to its ability to compact transactions….MWEB has the ability to scale better than Litecoin and Bitcoin while also having the side benefit of acting as a block size increase on the main chain without there actually being one….Loshan claims that this will provide improved fungibility and financial privacy: Unlike Bitcoin – where all addresses and amounts can be seen by anyone – MWEB + CoinJoin transactions are private.
