    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!

  • From LitecoinForever:

    Litecoin is due for great gains because Litecoin is the money for the people. The exchanges heavily manipulate $LTC’s price. So what prices you see on the exchanges are just an illusion. Better metrics of Litecoin’s growth are the on chain TX count & new address creation.
