I'm sure many of you know this already but I just found out that ProtonMail / ProtonVPN accepts Bitcoin as payment. I've been emailing them asking about supporting additional cryptocurriences since Bitcoin just isn't a transactional coin at this time. Fingers feel free to email their support and ask :D
Edit: the replied with this “Thank you for your feedback and support. Your opinion is very valuable to us. We are looking closely at every suggestion our customers are reporting and try to implement it in the future updates to make ProtonMail more user-friendly.”
Relax, be patient and... Sell your last remaining btc for ltc and spread this link to as many eyes that can see: https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20131201/
Alts will outperform bitcoin in the final wave of the bubble. This is a massive buy opportunity.
Take a look at this chart: https://cryptowat.ch/bitfinex/ltcbtc
Since April when LTC announced it was going to run Segwit, the LTC/BTC ratio has hit .010 on three occasions but did not drop any lower, this being the third.
This is perhaps the very worst time to switch to BTC according to the technicals.
Stop using coinbase because of their ridiculous fees + inflated price.
Look at Kraken's order book here - https://www.kraken.com/charts
Scroll down to the "Depth" chart and look at the sell/buy walls. Any big walls on the right are massive sell walls where the price can get stagnant or will have issues going over.
If you want to be smart about buying wait until the price gets at or near a sell wall. Wait a few hours to see what happens. Generally if it breaks the wall and keeps going then there's a pump happening and buying is anyone's guess.
If the wall stays give it a couple of hours to see price fluctuation, if it keeps dipping up and down but keeps coming back to that same wall, I'd say it's pretty safe to buy there.

Imo, bitcoin has about 50% of rise left in it. Just a reminder that during the last 50% rise of bitcoin in the 2013 bubble, litecoin rose 300%
We're at a 6 month low in the ltc/btc ratio.
Just buy now, if it breaks the low sell with a 5-10% loss vs bitcoin if it doesnt profit 300%
If you guys want a laugh.
Crytopwat.ch has gone spooky for Halloween and changed their color scheme to purple and orange plus have ghosts floating in the background of their charts.
I know a lot of people will be worried about the lack of movement in price but I recently moved a large amount of profits from Ethereum over into Litecoin. I'm extremely Bullish for the next few months. Here's my reasons: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@jhcooper7/my-cryptfolio-investment-why-i-diversified-profits-from-ethereum-to-litecoin
That’s why it was developed.
“Lightning Network as Bitcoin’s most promising scaling solution. It’s said to be able to handle 50,000 transactions per second – a figure nearly double what VISA claim to process.”

The 3d LTCUSD MACD looks pretty nice right now...
The 3d LTCBTC chart on the other hand, is a lot more interesting. It does appear though that we are just past the minima of this recent bottom.
Dunno - there was this pointless FUD today - https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/05/20/bitcoin-cryptocurrency-jpmorgan-chase/
If they are advisers, then this isn't getting through, is it?
There is now 119 LTC in the donation address.
https://blockchair.com/litecoin/address/MLos7u44mMq1ufgPJZTatEfPm3Kgxj5Nt9
Around 89 were donated in August, 30 left from previous donations.
There is around 208 LTC available for next MW dev payments if you include matched donations by /u/coblee
https://litecointalk.io/t/litecoin-confidential-transactions-dedicated-fund/26690
At current LTC price the project is funded until the end of september.
Original goal is 72k USD pay.
Current pay is 48k USD.
Funds left ~12k USD. (~208 LTC) Aug.-Sep.
Funds needed ~12k USD (~104 LTC / ~208 LTC w/o match) Oct.-Nov.
My numbers might be wrong
Hey guys! So /u/majestic84 has graciously allowed me to share a little design project of some cool blockchain/crypto shirts and sweatshirts! The idea is that blockchain is going to (Chain)ge the World! Check it out if you have a minute and I hope you enjoy my work! Any feedback is welcome :)
If you're trading cryptocurrency check out this article I just wrote. I introduce the analytical framework I designed to aid crypto investment decisions.
Just loook at LTCBTC
https://cryptowat.ch/poloniex/ltcbtc/1d
It's saying this is going way up... So my buy of $50 hopefully I can sell for $70 next month. Bullish patterns do fail though or at least give head fakes, this one looks robust though.
I'm in too heavy to add but this looks like a low to me. If I weren't positioned I'd think about buying the LTCBTC on GDAX but too exposed from my buy in the 50s.
The pump and dumps I have seen are over in a minute.. Usually announce the pump in a tweet and already they are starting to sell as everyone getting in.. before you know it the dump has started and you bought in at the top., I watched one today at 8pm on GVT. GVT PUMP

I wonder how this will play out... - https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/05/01/controversial-stablecoin-tether-is-only-74-percent-backed-by-cash-and-other-assets/
yepp, lots of red on the home page: https://cryptowat.ch/ We're all following bitcoin - this is to be expected after such an insane rise. Cryptos boom hard and bust hard - but they have proved time and again that they are here to stay. If any of you trade - trade carefully. holders - sit on your hands if you cant stop watching the charts
i like seeing the individual echanges. And the main view on https://cryptowat.ch/ usually has the default 24hr line graph set to the biggest exchage for each coin. Plus the plotting is excellent - I'm a Heikin-Ashi candlestick nerd
I expect Litecoin to gain value faster than Bitcoin in the short term, but it would be good to diversify a bit and buy some Bitcoin and Ethereum, since they both technically have the most solid future at this point. If you buy some bitcoin soon you may even end up with even more since Bitcoin will probably hard fork into two versions soon (that's what happened to Ethereum, and both Ethereum and Ethereum Classic are still in the top 10 cryptos https://coinmarketcap.com/ )
Use this instead!
There is an epic battle being waged over LTCBTC right now. Ridiculous amounts being thrown around. The LTCBTC shorters clearly want us to die.
https://cryptowat.ch/gdax/ltcusd/5m - This is the chart I use and it's one of the best. Has all the tools you'd want.
There are no books out for cryptocurrency trading, at least not that I am aware of.
Try using Cryptowatch for charts, much easier to draw trend lines and such. https://cryptowat.ch/gdax/ltcusd/5m
The spike in prices was due to positive news about LTC coming out. We need more news or development to spike up again.
OKCoin and Huobi are included back in the Volume on Coinmarketcap .
Can people withdraw their coins now ?
edit:
OKCoin and Huobi volume were not included on Coinmarketcap because of the lockdown on chinese exchanges.
the volume has always been very high when you included the chinese exchanges.
why are they back in the volume chart ?
Currently reading Japanese Candlesticks Charting Techniques by Steve Nison. It's here if anyone wants it.
I use PIA (Private Internet Access). Costs me $40 a year. But I think that deal is over.
Newcomers can get close to that, but you have to pay for 2 years in advance at $83.
I almost stopped with them because of how slow they were until they upgraded earlier this year. Now it works great.
China volume is minimal on LTC now but they’ve been selling all crypto since past weekend (CNY) because the final two exchanges (OkCoin and Huobi) are suppose to close crypto to CNY trading end of October. At this point it seem to have little impact. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/#markets
I'm surprised and not surprised. I thought .003 would be the bottom like everyone, but on the other hand we're just in the same old ratio channel we've been in since 2017. In fact, we're in the middle of the channel and not even the bottom: https://snipboard.io/NFpyoj.jpg
People are calling this the start of a bear market, but I dont see how thats possible. BTC has a really hard floor thats only been breached a couple times in the last 8 years. Right now that floor is $27000. Pretty weak bear market if BTC only goes from 35 to 27. Seems like we'd be on the tail end of the bear. Take a look at the chart for yourself, it's just a simple log scaling: https://snipboard.io/slYiFB.jpg
I wonder if anyone here suffers from this?
I'd say, around 100%? :-)
" Spending a great deal of time on the activity of trading in cryptocurrency, checking prices and thinking about the activity – so that other occupations such as work, socializing and exercise do not get done"
and
" Mood swings, feelings of hopelessness and depression" - it's the bear market, is all ;-)

Me - I'm saving my gains for a trip to Scotland ;-D
But, the volume was due to SELLING!? bitcoin-volume-volatility-cryptocurrency
Am I incorrect in thinking that OTC is actually bad for the retail investor - https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/01/15/bittrex-launches-p2p-trading-service/
By trading OTC, then the volume is removed from the exchanges / trades - stabilising the price so the volatilty isn't there (and, in fact - wasn't there a naughty offload last year which drove the price down considerably and not since recovered?)
Surely it's just gambling at the moment? What about losses?

I'm learning about limit orders a lot through crypto actually, I hadn't heard of stop orders much yet, their advantage is a little unclear to me so far.
In the next months, we might see an answer to the tether misery, and Bitfinex's 2.1M Bitcoin volume. https://www.bitfinex.com/stats since they don't declare how much USD vs USDT is traded. (Other exchanges combined bitcoin volume in 1 month is about 30-50k, yes, coinbase also.) Becuase if you buy Bitcoin with nothing(USDT), then you have Bitcoin, the seller has nothing. Which makes these sellers mad, when they find out that gave out those bitcoins for free.
I don't mean normal USDT buyers, I mean the devs, doing some shady stuff pumping bitcoin, from their side with falsely-audited coins, which they claim they sold, but instead they might have kept and "bought" all the bitcoins they can find, driving the price up and robbing sellers after shit hits the fan.

This is what I use. It's the same GDAX pricing, just a little different layout. Someone else in this group showed me it and it's helped out tremendously!! Hopefully I can pay it forward!
If you lost more money than you made, then you would be able to declare a "capital loss", which would be deductible from your overall tax obligation (generally up to $3,000 maximum in a given year). Some info on this can be found in this article. This is dependent on your losses being greater than your gains, provided that you do not count losses from transactions that occur within 30 days of each other (wash trades).
Further, if your losses exceeded $3,000, then you may be able to carry the remainder of that loss into subsequent years' filings as further deductible. There can be some nuances with this as well, but here is a good article on capital loss carryover.
we are third on my cryptowat.ch again. That's a big move from being behind 10th for a while... I guess its sorted by volume or?

The independent article says without citation
>During the 30-minute interview, Mr Dorsey revealed that he had maxed out the $10,000 spending limits on his company's application Cash App in recent weeks.
Does he buy 10k a week? I need someone to point me out the time in the podcast where he explicitly says it.
LTC is currently under maintenance or experiencing wallet/network issues. Deposits and withdrawals will remain disabled until a solution is found, which may require an update from the LTC team. Any updates must be tested and audited before enabling.

Hi there! Does anybody here mine Litecoin?
I've just read the article about mining pools.
What do you think about it? Is it profitable?
Not exactly sure what you are talking about. I currently own no LTC, waiting for the right time to buy back in, no excuses here. But, it's not a secret that BTC has been reclaiming market cap over the past few months and after both the BCH and BTG fork the major alts saw a spike upwards in the BTC ratio, if only for a short time.
You can see the spike leading up to the forks on 7/31 and 10/23, 15% and 9% respectively in 1-2 day period.
