you have a coin that will be profitable in the next few months and you have to be patient
His litecoin might have increased a lot since last month consider it has reached the yearly ATH but i doubt about when he was thinking to convert it into the XRP and he might face a big loss and you cans ee that how XRP has been dumping so hard. There's no reason to buy XRP. He was only wasting his money when he wanna try to convert it into XRP.
He could sell his litecoin for a big profit.
In investing, of course, we are free to make our own choices, indeed LTC has gone up, and this LTC coin is indeed good for us to invest in in the long term, even though this coin has not risen at its highest point. but in my opinion this coin will be able to go up in price at a higher price than the current price, and if anyone wants to change their LTC to exchange XRP, of course it's free, whatever they choose, of course to get profit.
