I've always liked LiteCoin. I was wondering the other day which site would show me all that info, and likely more things.

So I searched for it using "next LiteCoin halving" since I was wondering when it was and how this might affect value and this is the site right here, which has a cool built in countdown timer/ticker counting down the days til the next halving which is set for Aug. 21 2019 -- which I can remember easily because that is my birthday week!

Please send me LiteCoin LOL




Here is the site: http://litecoinblockhalf.com/


LiteCoin has made HUGE gains lately, for various reasons -- the policy/politics of Bitcoin and their struggles to address the scaling issues, the potential resulting fork from these issues, 3-5 types (forks) of $BTC on the market and more potentially coming, it is kind of a mess.

LiteCoin has none of these problems, and in fact, their miners are set to adopt SegWit activation it seems in short order any day now, on their network vote that started just over 60 days ago. LiteCoin shares the Bitcoin codebase, if you did not know.

Learn more on that here in my LiteCoin Series on that issue with lots of good info:

1 week LiteCoin chart showing the gains:


2 weeks ago, LTC was around $5 USD. It had been there a long time. A week ago it started to rise and stayed about the $8 range. The last couple days, it has been mooning and hitting recent all time highs in the $11 USD range. The factors vary but a lot of it has to do with the Bitcoin scaling and political issues in the community most people feel.


This short 4 min. video will give you a great overview of LiteCoin basics/halving - it is a couple years old now, but the basics/fundamentals do not change. Plus it will help you understand coin halving processes for Crypto in general.

Sorry if I cannot get to replies right away and lately for the strange formatting issues, the latest Hardfork coding has honestly thrown everyone and everything off. It is nearly impossible right now, to make a nicely looking, properly formatted post and many of us have spent 3 or 4x as long trying to work around these challenges.

Litecoin's high was actually around $75 at one time before the Mt. Gox so it is not unreasonable to think it would go high again and stay there. For some reason for the longest time investors abandoned Litecoin. Like your post

Yep, I am aware. I refreshed my memory and looked at the all time charts today before the post went up. That is why I said recent highs.

TY for stopping by today, with the kind words too.

You were absolutely right man, this is a cracking Litecoin post!

I love when people think my stuff is alright. Thanks dude!!!

Nice blog. Nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks like this. Buy and hold for the upcoming 2 to 5 years and the market will find it's way.
