Philipma, there is a HUGE difference between "I mine the shitcoins ltc/doge and immediately dump them for btc" versus "Buy ltc or doge and hodl it to buy coffees, guys!! They will take over street commerce!"
Like a giant, galaxy-size difference.

So quit espousing the latter, when you only mean the former. It's tedious and annoying.
There's also the option of exchanging a chunk BTC for LTC from time to time to make small purchases more feasible. I still have some LTC hanging around from long, long ago and a couple of years I used some because it was a lot cheaper at the time than spending BTC. I hate LTC but I hate what's been done to BTC more.
