This would make Litecoin more widely adopted among Bitcoiners, and thus increasing its value exponentially.

I couldn't care less about other bitcoiners. What matters is the general public. I guess we'll find out when it hits gox in less then two weeks. No need to panic now.

Keep calm everyone.

Well... IMO, Bitcoiners are inherently more likely to use Litecoins because they are already well versed in the way that crypto currencies work, making them a prime target market for the expansion of the Litecoin community. The know how to make a paper wallet, they know how to mine, they know how to exchange, etc. They would be able to fit right in immediately.

And of course I'd like to see many new Litecoiners from the general public as well, but to just brush off the largest user base of crypto currencies (Bitcoiners) is a bit absurd.

My take. Bitcoiners have dismissed LTC since it's inception. What they need is a swift kick in the ass to help them out. I'm not dismissing them. Only I have given up on their blinders, (I.E. there is only one gold.. there is only one currency, et cetera, et cetera) Until we see serious investment from the general public and we will once ltc hits gox, we wont see them on board. After that.... sure.

But this will all happen organically. Not forced... Just wait and watch.
