I bought more Doge, sucks seeing a dip but every coin has just taken a dive. Bitcoin fell to 49k, etherium fell, litecoin fell, etc. i understand new investors not liking this drop but its the volatility that comes with crypto. #dogecoin
- From cryptobitt:
April 2017I watched #litecoin price and thinking of buying in the some day. It went $11 and i bought it at 2x expensive. Now i m at the same place $ltc at $225In 24 April to May will be massive growth and we can touch $400 and then you know. 2017- 37X2021 LTC = 13X 😉
- From Altcoinmo:
Increased my day trading positions for these scalps, just holding mainly Litecoin now. Stock market has recovered so well from Biden FUD and $BTC is very oversold, expect crypto market to shortly follow which is why we are making small recoveries in the crypto market right now.

What Is MWEB On Litecoin? » Vaultoro
One of the advantages of the MWEB chain is that it will provide better fungibility and privacy than Litecoin’s fundamental chain. Accessing MWEB will be possible through supporting wallets and exchanges….If the worst comes to pass, providers can still disable support for MWEB and continue to process regular Litecoin transactions. Similar to other public blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum, Litecoin doesn’t have any native privacy to speak of….Although MWEB is a privacy-oriented solution, there are other reasons why Litecoin can benefit from this upgrade like transactions costs and scaling solutions but fungibility is a big problem….You do not want the world to know how much bitcoin, litecoin or any other value you have….There is no ” privacy option ” to explore with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum….For this reason, MWEB may prove worthwhile to the right audience. The ongoing upgrade to Mimblewimble Extension Blocks marks a crucial development for the Litecoin ecosystem.
