    Litecoin is only two years younger than Bitcoin (2011 vs. 2009) and has had zero downtime since its inception. It has 9 years of proven track record and remains one of the most highly transacted with altcoins.DYOR and don’t listen to false narratives.

  • From BTC_JackSparrow:

    @bullterrivel I trade supply/demand exhaustion forming trends – which approach could care less about such odds. I have tradeable, technical odds right in front of me. Also, the Bitcoin community cares as any implementation on Litecoin is likely to be able to be easily ported to Bitcoin.

    @litecoin_bull @NancyAlaimo @ROYALMRBADNEWS @bhinlr At the SOTU a woman here on Twitter (gunner’s wife) read the lips of Congress and it was BAD-Harris too.
    Many seemingly were plotting to poison Trump.
    It makes me wonder if this Covid event had to take place to arrest many of these people.
