  • From TheCryptoLark:

    #litecoin will pump to new highs soon, it is well primed for a run. I took a big position around $182. In it for a good time, not a long time.

  • From SumcoinOfficial:

    @Sumtoshi @elonmusk Not trying to break up any fun but what did Doge ever do to anyone? It’s a joke coin but is it still? Fiat is an even bigger joke so maybe that’s @elonmusk point with talking about it. Yes he should know about #Sumcoin too but there are many others like Litecoin needing eyes.

  • From VisionLawnCare_:

    Is everyone that is #holding #LTC ready for a life changing experience? If I may say something even though many don’t know me,yet, but it’s not just about making tons of $ it’s about the plan when you do make $. Do something good for this world, something for your kids#Litecoin
