Last Updated June 14, 2021, 06:016 GMT
At the moment, Litecoin’s price is down $-0.42 (-0.25%) from the hour prior. This is a reversal of the price action on the previous hour, in which price moved up. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 20 hour timeframe. Of note is that the 200 hour changed directions on LTC; it is now pointing down. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

I respect a billionaire investing in #bitcoin and telling the world never to sell it.I was a high school dropout with a chip on my shoulder who went ALL IN to live on #litecoin 24/7.My blue print doesn’t allow for excuses. You only need strong CONVICTION and GRIT to win.
- From babbobull:
@MASTERBTCLTC LTC and BTC are the only true currencies. I still cant believe how overlooked #litecoin is. It does everything BTC does but better. The only thing I can give BTC an edge on is adoption and a bit more security
- From GeorgeBLE17:
I have been using Litecoin for flights and hotels, but the ultimate goal is to borrow against them (take out a loan), and use Bitcoin/Litecoin to buy a house/car and not need to ever sell any of them to pay enormous tax gains #BTC #LTC

John Kim: 100% committed to Litecoin….Image: John Kim “They called me a Litecoin evangelist….I believe the best way to get people into crypto is to show them an example and let them experience it for themselves,” Kim told Decrypt on a recent call from Texas, where he is weathering the coronavirus storm. He’s still homeless, has been criticized for being foolhardy and reckless, and admits that cryptocurrencies played a big part in the breakup of his marriage….Together with his wife, Kim had begun to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2017, and became increasingly drawn into the cryptocurrency world—much to the consternation of his family and friends. Kim with his son Jaedin, “Litecoin Evangelist Jr.” Image: John Kim Litecoin, in particular, attracted his attention….That’s how I was able to take 10 grand and build 15 businesses.” In Kim’s mind, going all-in on cryptocurrency presented the only opportunity to change the trajectory of not only his own life but the lives of his two sons….Whether LTC reaches triple digits or not next year, one thing is for sure, per Kim, “I know nobody is willing to go as far as I’m going to go to show the world.” Get the best of Decrypt where you want it most.
