What will it take for Litecoin (LTC) to reach $1000 after crypto-bloodbath now?

Published

Litecoin LTC

Currently, we see the third-worst bear market in the crypto history (did you know?), and Litecoin (LTC) is presently at $63.81, this is an optimistic question to be sure. But let’s think about it anyway, and come up with a reasonable answer.

If Litecoin reached the thousand dollar mark, that would need a market capitalization of 58 billion at the current supply or 84 billion if the maximum number of tokens is in circulation. How out of reach is that?

Litecoin‘s highest market capitalization reached 20 billion dollars at the time its price was at its historical highest point so, even when everything was peachy, it was still only a third of what would be needed to reach the thousand dollar milestone.

Several things would be necessary for this to happen. First, we’ll need a group of essential investors (or a group of very many investors) who believe wholeheartedly in Litecoin’s prospects as a long-term project concerning usefulness and reliability. 

That would bring tons of money into the Litecoin pool while, at the same time, it would slow sales down. If sales diminish sufficiently, the token supply could become limited enough so that it appreciates just because of scarcity. 

But for that, Litecoin holders must feel sure that they should hold on to their coins no matter what happens. Second, Litecoin’s adoption must be more extensive, faster, so that the token is more useful and it attracts (even unknowingly) new users that wouldn’t dream about going into the crypto game otherwise.

Litecoin has already launched a campaign to encourage people to use Litecoins to pay for goods and services. Adoption and use drive demand up, and demand is what raises the price. Litecoin’s leadership is keenly aware of this fact which is one of the reasons why they bought a bank in Germany (well, not the whole bank, just 9.99% but that’s enough for our purposes). 

This came about after somebody suggested to Litecoin’s creator to get a bank to issue a Litecoin debit card. It’s a fantastic idea regarding thrusting adoption forward. If you have Litecoins and you can use them through a debit card in the street, then the last advantage that fiat currencies have over digital ones is finished.

You would not be able only to use your tokens online, but also on the street, in just the same way you use banknotes and metallic coins. If Litecoin can pull the debit card trick off, that will go a very long way in reaching the thousand dollar mark. 

They’re not alone in this as both Stellar Lumens and Ripple already have new partners that intend to issue crypto-based debit cards. But Stellar and Ripple still don’t own a bank or significant shares in one.

And then, here’s what you can do. Just spread the word. Don’t lie, be honest. Being involved in the cryptosphere is interesting, it’s challenging, it’s a lot of fun, and it could make you very rich not too long from now.

But it’s also hazardous and unpredictable, and because of the lack of regulation, it’s something of a wilderness. Talk to your friends and family about this subject, bring it up as part of your regular conversation. If you’re knowledgeable and honest, you’ll generate interest and, who knows, maybe you’d be doing them a favor.

Litecoin is a stable coin, it’s useful in the real world, it has excellent leadership, and it’s securing all the right partnerships. There is no reason for it not to go all the way up to a thousand dollars sooner or later.

Just think about this: Bitcoin reached a low of 67.809 at some point (which means it was cheaper than Litecoin was only a couple of days ago), and it’s now worth seven times a thousand dollars, without ever having all the advantages Litecoin currently has. Litecoin will get there. It’s more or less unavoidable.

XNO Token of Xeno NFT Hub listed on Bithumb Korea Exchange

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

“NFTs are extremely flexible in their usage, from digital event tickets to artwork, and while NFTs have a very wide spectrum of uses and categories XENO will initially focus its partnership efforts and its own item curation on three primary areas: gaming, sports & entertainment, and collectibles.”, said XENO NFT Hub president Anthony Di Franco.

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”

Mr. Yamagata has…
