I have been holding lLitecoin since 2014, I think when market starts to grow, price of the coin will be higher, its strange that there were a lot of good news agencies, but this did not affect the course of the coin. Even the news of purchase of a German bank did not help.
Still, think the main issue is bitcoin cash (bch) has been trying to replace litecoin as the alterntive store of
value coin ...that LTC used to have kinda exclusively...thus 'newbies' I've met only know about BCH and BTC
have shown no real interest in LTC as they seem to think BCH is the real deal.
Supposedly, in their mind, the more recent fork of BCH is more 'legit' etc and of course the price to a newbie
of $500 looks impressive vs $60 LTC.
Not saying I like it, but have tripped over this view from new folk, quite a bit.
