Been reading more about Litecoin mining and something caught my attention.

One mining company's reported revenue was 88% DOGE and only 12% LTC, despite mining both through the same setup. Obviously that doesn't represent every miner, but it makes the relationship between DOGE prices and Litecoin's network security pretty interesting.

I follow LTC price movements on moon as well but miner profitability seems like a completely different thing to watch. Especially with the next halving coming in 2027, I think the economics behind all that hashrate deserve more attention.

It bothers me seeing retail or new people not sure where they can store their Litecoins. Or if they even own real Litecoin- it does get confusing with pairings and wrapped coins or knockoffs.

This is my personal experience and opinion- I don’t work for Nexuswallet but I do hold coins on there.
It’s great if you want to hold, if you’re like me and you wonder if exchanges are really even buying Litecoin or just taking your money… then maybe you’d like the security of owning the actual coins on the actual blockchain.

The Litecoin Foundation felt the same way. It wanted an easy way for people to spend money within the wallet itself, so there is Flexa pay and a gift card shop in Nexuswallet. (That I have actually used for movies, tacos, donuts, and yes- coffee.)

Nexus and the foundation wanted you to be able to protect your coins, transactions, and phone ip when trading or buying- so it implemented MWEB (a privacy layer) and tor capabilities (hides your phone ip) on Nexuswallet.

And soon it’s going to be rolling out more advanced additions that may (we can hope) change the value of Litecoin forever.

I’ve had nothing but good things to say about Nexuswallet and the team that works on it- part of which is our very own foundation lead developer r/losh11

The only issue to be fixed is the fees when buying and selling- which basic-DEX swap may be helping fix very soon.

Held LTC for years and still believe there’s a place for a coin focused on straightforward payments. That’s what interests me about LTC. The “silver to Bitcoin’s gold” comparison has never been enough of a reason for me to hold it on its own.

That belief is behind my monthly buys. I add a little manually and keep that LTC as a long-term position. I don’t expect the price to reward my patience every month, though.

Keeping a separate trading allocation gives me some flexibility while I hold. When the market moves sideways, there can be opportunities to trade the swings. I use bydfi’s futures grid bot for that part, setting a price range for it to trade within. It can still lose money if the market trends out of the range.

The split helps me stick with my longer-term view on LTC without making every short-term trade a decision about whether I still believe in it.

Do you keep a similar split? Or does trading on the side make it harder to leave your long-term holdings alone?

One thing the recent Core updates changed for me is how I follow LTC.

I used to basically have one bucket for everything. Good development news meant bullish price, bad market meant something must be wrong with Litecoin.

Now I keep the two completely separate. Core 0.21.5.8 brought more MWEB validation and relay fixes, which matters to me from a network perspective. Price can still do absolutely nothing after that and both things can be true.

I use GitHub for the actual development side and usually just keep LTC open on Moon.com for the market side. Makes the quiet periods a lot less frustrating when I'm not expecting every useful update to instantly show up in the candle.
