Litecoin (ltc) approaches $100, up 200 percent in 2019

Litecoin has continued cryptocurrency’s price rally into the weekend, with the currency up 8 percent as of writing and making a push to the critical $100 mark. While Bitcoin may be garnering the majority of the attention in crypto’s sudden bull run, LTC has continued to be one of the more eye-opening, and surprising gainers of 2019.

Since the start of the year, Litecoin is up 210 percent, with the most recent cryptocurrency rally making a push for the coin to top $100. LTC has not traded at or above $100 since June of last year, with the current price for the coin representing its relative high in both 2019 and over the last 10 months of trading. Should the currency continue its meteoric run, it will further the case for being the strongest cryptocurrency gainer throughout the first half of the year, driven in no small part by the actions of the Litecoin Foundation.

As analysts continue to survey the current cryptocurrency market, LTC investors are sitting flush on price gains of over 200 percent since the beginning of the year. However, the coin also experienced some of the most severe losses throughout 2018 among top cryptocurrencies. While the entire market entered a bear cycle, which saw coin prices plummet more than 80 percent across the board, Litecoin fell 93 percent from its all time high in late December 2017. In the span of twelve months, the coin was trading in December 2018 at $23, leaving many investors to question whether the currency was going to continue to wither away despite having strong adoption relative to the market.

Instead, it appears December’s low represented the floor for LTC pricing in this bear cycle. Since that time, the coin has skyrocketed over 200 percent in value, with the potential for more gains if the crypto rally continues. Compared to other coin projects, Litecoin has benefited significantly from the efforts of the Litecoin Foundation.

Coin foundations may not have the same control that companies and executive boards hold over traditional stocks, but they can make their presence felt in the industry and develop rapport with investors and community members. While crypto continues to be a decentralized technology, the presence of organizations like the Litecoin Foundation give a focal point to coin projects and provide direction in their adoption.

For example, the Litecoin Foundation has been instrumental in the marketing of the currency and increasing its appeal to broader base. In particular, the coin has managed to gain a foothold and partnership in the MMA ring, and encouraged endorsements from some of UFC’s most recognizable fighters.

Such small efforts may seem trivial in the larger scale of cryptocurrency use and adoption, but they do send a message to investors. Compared to the majority of coin projects, which have little direct interaction with their userbase and even smaller influence on the broader world, Litecoin and the Litecoin Foundation have managed to carve out a significant presence.

Re: [DASH]币价再破新高 月发展预算超比特币

Re: [DASH]币价再破新高 月发展预算超比特币 达世币的币值和交易量创下历史新高,为它带来了加密数字货币史上最高额的发展资金。 今年以来,达世币市值大幅攀升。截至发稿前,它已经从1月份的8000万美元升到了56000万美元,增值了7倍。单是这个月,它就增值了一倍。 Taoof Satoshi是达世币社区成员之一,他同时还管理着Dash Nation Slack并主持着YouTube上的Cash Alternative TV节目。他认为,达世币近期的发展势头令人赞叹: “对于那些从一开始就关注达世币项目的人来说,这样的币值飙升并不意外。针对比特币所面临的挑战,例如隐私性能、交易速度和管理模式等等,Evan Duffield和他的团队予以了系统性的解决。现在,活跃的达世币社区(或者说是 “Dash Nation”)正使达世币声名远扬。随着比特币的日渐退化,世界各地的人们正在认真思量达世币的投资价值。大家会发现,达世币已经成为了比特币及法币的真正对手。而在我看来,这仅仅是达世币发展阶段的起点。” 达世币自身拥有的预算资金为可持续发展提供了支持 以比特币为例,矿工获取新区块的全部奖励。与此不同的是,新开采的达世币所带来的区块酬劳被分为三部分,其中,45%由矿工获得,45%归于主节点持有人,剩下的10%则被留存下来用作发展和社区项目资金,具体项目由主节点投票结果决定。 AmandaB. Johnson是YouTtube《达世币:解读》节目的主持人,也是由预算资金雇佣的达世币去中心化自主管理系统的成员。她认为,这样的预算资金系统使达世币能够实现更大幅度的增值: “当EvanDuffield从区块奖励中划拨项目发展资金的时候,他就已经将达世币工作人员的酬劳与达世币的币值直接挂钩了。达世币酬劳系统已经形成了良性循环。研发人员的工作做得越好,他们每月领取的达世币酬劳就越有价值,而达世币也能聘用更多的人才来扩建团队。” 达世币2017年2月份的预算资金约为7450达世币,其中包括获准的核心团队项目和各类社区项目。 目前,达世币对美元的汇率约为77美元。以此为基准,上述预算资金约合574,000美元。如果达世币升值,这样的月度预算还将提高。 对此,Amanda B. Johnson表示,达世币的生态系统将会以更高的增速不断发展: “达世币将在原有基础上取得更大的进步和更优的发展,其中涉及Evolution和达世币研发者、基层营销人员、列席与会、活动赞助、测试活动、法学研究,以及其他我没想到,但其他人可能想到的一些活动。” 2017年,加密数字货币领域的大洗牌 今年是加密数字货币领域重新洗牌的一年,许多加密数字货币都以比特币为目标不断奋进。达世币与门罗币已经赶超了以太币经典版、莱特币和瑞波币,和以太币一同跻身除比特币外最值钱的三大加密数字货币。 这三种加密数字货币约占比特币币值的20%,其中以太币占了13%的大头。比特币币值目前仍然是加密数字货币领域的巨头,不过它所占的份额已经下降到了80%。 到2017年末,加密数字货币领域的格局将发生巨变。Wall of Coins的项目领导人罗伯特·杰尼托认为,达世币届时将会成为业内领头羊。 “加密数字货币领域正如科学技术一样日新月异,甚至比它的更新迭代更快。身处这个市场的人们以及他们的决策也是瞬息万变的。我坚信,达世币将在今年年末彻底超越比特币。” (Why?)
