I think it will hit $256 at the end of this year
Not so fast. The year is about to end and it hasn't even reached half of that price. $100-$150 is what I can see for the price of LTC.
But $256 looks high, to be honest. We've got only 1 month left and that's possible for it to be reached but if it ever reaches $200, that's possible to be seen.
The word is 'only if' it reaches $200.
