Is the bear market coming to an end finally ?
For BTC, probably not. But it seems that LTC is tearing itself away from depending on BTC's price, so I'll probably gamble there.
BTC is too bloated for available pumps to create a strong enough momentum, and it's too untrustworthy for bigger pumps to enter the game. I see that LTC will be the more suitable game to play for the time being. Smaller market cap. means more movement and the name hasn't been tainted with scandals that raise serious trust issues. This makes it interesting.
I'd say Doge is a much better bet than LTC long-term, in a few months and some more halvenings the selling pressure from the multi-pools will drop off. It's also a lot more fun!
