Thoughts on the market position of Litecoin:



If LTC has really declined, then why has no project been able to truly replace its core value proposition to date?

Faster settlement, lower transaction costs, global liquidity coverage, the same PoW consensus foundation—these advantages are there. But are there any other coins in the market that can fully match these attributes?

Interestingly, many people claim that LTC is dead, yet they cannot specify the reasons. This collective silence often reflects not the project's impotence, but rather an avoidance of reality. Either competitors truly cannot deliver, or market participants have selectively forgotten.

Points worth observing are: in the pursuit of high speed and low fees, why has the market presence of LTC been weakened instead? This may not be a technical issue, but rather a matter of narrative and ecosystem development.

LTC, this thing, is actually killed by the narrative; the technology is fine. Those who say it’s dead haven’t thought about what could replace it; it’s just following the trend. The real problem is the rotten ecosystem, not the speed issue. Wait, why is no one mentioning LTC now? It’s indeed a bit strange. The Lightning Network has been able to settle in seconds for a long time; why is there still a hype around LTC? To be honest, the crypto world is like this; when there’s a new concept, everyone bets on it, and LTC is too "old." The second one is always a tragedy; Bitcoin dad is right here.

ltc should have died a long time ago... but why am I still holding? --- To put it bluntly, no one would intentionally buy ltc for faster settlement, really. --- It sounds reasonable, but the problem is the market doesn't care about these at all... --- The poor ecosystem is the real reason, not some narrative issue. --- There are too many competing coins, why should ltc matter? --- Wait, are they saying that ltc hasn't been replaced so it's still okay? This logic is a bit convoluted. --- I already closed all positions a long time ago, let's stop comforting ourselves everyone. --- It's nice to say, but the essence is that once bitcoin and eth came out, ltc really doesn't have much of a place. --- Low speed and fees... isn't Layer2 doing this better? --- The collective silence might just be because no one really cared.

It's ridiculous, LTC is dying every day, how is it still alive? Discussions without a clear reason are the most annoying, it's just following the trend to criticize. When the narrative collapses, it's more fatal than poor technology, this point is correct. LTC is now the neglected veteran, no one praises it, but no one can replace it either. If it were truly worthless, it would have been delisted by the exchange long ago; its presence now indicates something. I agree that the ecosystem is not good, it's too dull. Actually, it's just that there's no ability to tell a story; rigid technology is not appealing to anyone. Wait, what about those coins that claim to kill LTC in seconds? Why haven't any of them gained popularity?

This matter about ltc is just that no one is hyping it up; the technology is actually decent. Those who say it's dead are just following the trend; it's not that easy to replace it. The problem isn't with the coin itself, but rather who is still using it.
