Zero-fee trading is taking traditional equity markets by storm, as major brokerage firms adopt the model to stay competitive. While this is quickly becoming the standard for stock trading, most crypto exchanges rely on fees, and brokerage firms are still few and far between.

Litecoin (LTC) has had a turbulent time in 2019, but how will the altcoin fare in 2020? Will higher volumes and fresh cash spur an LTC bull run?

The usage of cryptocurrency by the general public is still far from universal, but that’s not stopping teams from accepting payments at an increasing speed.

Litecoin holds a high expectation of the traders. The coin has the potential to replace Bitcoin in the future. In the first two quarters of the year, the LTC coin has outperformed Bitcoin. However, the coin has lost its momentum in the second half of the year.

Prices for Litecoin have fallen to about $45, from a peak of around $140 in June. On August 5, rewards for mining new blocks of data were slashed by 50% under the...

Although Litecoin is often criticized for a lack of development, the community tends to come up with new solutions. One user has developed TheLitecoinApp, which gives users access to everything Litecoin-related.

The Grin team admitted that the protocol held a known weakness, but directing hired computing power from AWS did not constitute an ‘attack’. The analysis of Ivan Bogatyy managed to glean some network data, but the conclusions that the flaw could not be repaired were also inaccurate.

Litecoin (LTC) has been facing an ongoing influx of selling pressure ever since its mining rewards halving that occurred this past-summer, which sparked a deep-cutting sell-off in spite of the fact that many investors and analysts had believed it to be a bullish event.

Digital currencies and blockchain technology have entered their eleventh year, while still remaining far from adopted by the masses. Clearly, if this is to change the world, we need to take this beyond the current pool of crypto fans. However, a myopic focus on the mythical “average user” has been the death of many a crypto project which failed to reach and activate non-technical, non-ideological users with any rate of success. I think we can learn something from the success of the silver to Bitcoin’s gold: Litecoin.

Litecoin has been trading close to its support point and despite minor surges, the silver crypto failed to post impressive rallies after August this year.

After more than 66 percent of its value got slashed since its August halving, Litecoin saw its hashrate drop from its peak of over 500 TH/s to just 150 TH/s. However, the network’s drastically reduced computing power doesn’t make it vulnerable to a 51 percent attack, data has shown, as its low price wouldn’t justify the cost of the attack.

Twitter user WhiteRabbit (@WhiteRabbitBTC) has made the bold assertion that Litecoin was going to eventually drop “to zero.” To support the claim, WhiteRabbit showed the last 6 months of hash-rate data and referenced the idea that Litecoin shows no price movements in connection to its scarcity.

While the developers of Litecoin have been looking forward to the implementation of MimbleWimble, the community seems to be expressing its fears of coming under t...

The quest for decentralization in the cryptocurrency space is a noble but convoluted pursuit. So, when a suggestion arises that one of the world’s most prominent exchanges, Coinbase, is holding as much as 25% of all Litecoin, questions start to be asked.

Litecoin has maintained its value despite the overall slowdown across the market. There have three major price changes on the last day, and LTC has shown a 0.69% increment against the US Dollar. The highest point for Litecoin price over these 24 hours was 48.29 USD.

According to a recent test performed by Ivan Bogatyy, Litecoin’s Mimble Wimble privacy protocol can be unraveled using hired computing resources. The Litecoin (LTC) community and developers of Mimble Wimble denied that they created a faulty anonymous technology.

The Litecoin Foundation is moving forward in order to grow the whole Litecoin (LTC) ecosystem. The Foundation decided to set up a dedicated development fund that will be used to sponsor David Burkett, a developer for Grin++.

Let’s Talk Bitcoin! is a long-running independent podcast on the ideas, people and projects powering the cryptocurrency narrative. On this show, we basically talk about everything other than the price.

Litecoin’s price has continued to underperform in the cryptocurrency market. While the coin posted impressive gains over the first few months of the year, from tr...

Litecoin, popularly known as the silver to Bitcoin’s gold, has always enjoyed its position owing to the many developments on its network. In the case of the layer 2 scalability solution, Lightning Network [LN], Litecoin was the first to get the tech deployed on it. More recently, to bring about fungibility and privacy, the Litecoin Foundation was working with Grin++ developer, David Burkett, to implement opt-in MimbleWimble via extension blocks on Litecoin.
