Thanks for this, it's interesting that according to the graph LTC payments seem to be even growing strongly this year, I knew already LTC was first in this list because the Litecoin Foundation showed that number in their yearly report for 2023, but I had expected a flatter or stagnating growth.

In general, I think Litecoin supporters (and other supporters of "classic" altcoins like XMR or NMC) should be much bolder in general. Perhaps some are timid about their investment because it is an "old coin" or "outdated" related to newer shiny PoS "Ethereum killers".

But think again: Most of the high-ranked PoS altcoins, including Ethereum, are based on a concept from the year 1999 (Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance). So can you blame LTC and Co. to use an algorithm, the Nakamoto Consensus, which is 9 years newer and there's consensus that it's more objective and less vulnerable to attacks (as it doesn't require Weak Subjectivity like PoS does)?
