DOGE is still breathing because of its enormous community and it is a living proof that cryptocurrencies does not need gimmicks to succeed. Only a troll can say that Litecoin is feeling threatened by some other coin/asset/token. Even if LTC completely dies, it will still be one of the best, because for one simple reason - it distances itself from the "tech race" and focuses on adoption. If Litecoin dies it would not be, because it was "not developed" (from the tech side), it will be because of the people's hypocrisy.

I'm skeptical that adding CT will have adverse affects to LTC on a socioeconomic level.

CT is only part of the solution to privacy/anonymity.

Let's face it, the recent effect in anonymous coins is mostly because of hype (or over expectations). I do agree that it would not really affect LTC's price (unless certain groups decide something else). Bad thing is that in the past 2 years cryptocurrencies are restraining from adoption more and more. We have a new "gimmicks race", which probably leads to nowhere.

I do agree that in altcoins there is always has an ongoing "gimmick race" coming from most of them. But there is another way of looking at the situation. Without participating in the gimmicks race and pushing the development team into improving their respective coin projects then they might be left behind by their competitors. I believe if litecoin does nothing then it would be threatened to become a forgotten coin and die slowly. I know litecoin is still in a good position even if they do not participate in the gimmicks race but they might be in a better one if they do.

It may die, because people are for the "coin of the day" and cares about their $5 profits. I've said that more times than a 60-year old priest said "Amen".

That is a lie..

The dev said he is leaving LONG AGO because the community failed to support the coin.

HIS WORDS

And.. i was saying it was happening far before he admitted it and i can prove it.

Almost 2 years ago the price slumped and 95% of it's so called facade of a community bolted.
And still to this day you all lie your fucking ass off about it partying like it's 2013 still.

It never DID have a fucking community !
All it had was temporary short term traders looking to make a buck.
So when the popularity died off then the price started dropping like crazy there was an exodus
and i called it to the day exact day and posted a picture from Cryptsy as proof.
I said it has NOW begun..
And i was right !
After that it just dropped more and more as more & more users left..
and the chatter here went from all Doge topics on page 1 to 0

You are all deceitful bullshiting pigs lying & crying FUD for bucks here 24/7.
..or you are morons (or a vulgar combo of both)

You can't deny what i just fucking said retards.
The god damn fucking dev of the coin said it himself !
He announced he was leaving the project because the COMMUNITY FAILED TO SUPPORT THE COIN

So what do i see over & over like a broken record ?

LIEM OMGZ DOGE HAZ SUCH AGUD COMMUNITY !!!!

bull
mother
fucking
shit
SCAMMY
morons

And the rest of you are spewing retarded garbage galore making excuses.
Who do you think is eating up your stupid drivel ?

"cryptocurrencies does not need gimmicks to succeed" ?

What the fuck part of the Doge Meme is not a gimmick ?
Say more dumb shit guys.. please, it makes my balls tingle LOL

And no gimmicks are bad and Monero came out 2 years ago dumb ass's
So yeah LTC still could have been planning on copying the gimmick long ago.

100% of you are shit talking idiots.
All you do is spew shit and cry FUD for bucks.
making excuses for "bad" non stop.. so it lines your wallets.

Fumble over yourselves to pile on the ANON band wagon idiots i laugh at you
As i did with every other stupid trend that died here before.
I hope the FBI kicks your fucking doors in pricks that would amuse me LOL

Charlie supports Doge ? a scam coin ? ya that is smart LOL
I wonder how much money he made off joining in with the other losers bullshiting about doge ?
A crowd of predators that left kids holding the bag.. still to this day !

I am now quite sure that you suffer from schizophrenia or you are mostly writing your comments while drunk.

1. Last time I used (i.e. mined) DOGE was back in Q1/2015 and that's because of one simple reason: I had scrypt ASICs. I have NEVER traded DOGE. NEVER!
2. Its not your first time attacking me just because you have some schizophrenic thoughts that you KNOW everyone. I once told you that you should either grow up or FUCK OFF, but you conveniently did not answered.
3. Palmer leaving DOGE has nothing to do with community not being supportive. Maybe he saw that the hype was declining and found an excuse to leave the coin, but still that has nothing to do with the support of the community.
4. Like it or not, DOGE is still among the top coins in trade volume (if we exclude the volume of a few coins which are pumped every now and then).

But litecoin is not bitcoin. Even if bitcoin lacks certain technologies and features other altcoins and platforms have it was the first cryptocurrency and it may be cliche to say this but it has first mover advantage over the rest. Remember during the early years it was litecoin that started a sort of "gimmicks race" by making confirmation times faster and adding more in the total coin supply. Not even being the faster coin could make it surpass bitcoin. So maybe a new approach is to be taken and take the gimmicks race a step further. With litecoin's current infrastructure I believe it can take Ethereum a run for their money and get back to 2nd place.

Making a coin faster and increase its supply has nothing to do with gimmicks. Gimmicks are wallet design and chat, trade bots etc... things that are mostly creating hype.
