(Note: I wrote this last Tuesday, but held off publishing because no exchanges actually allowed Litecoin Cash (LCC) deposits, making this process pointless. There is now one exchange allowing LCC deposits and trades (see step 3 of the article), so it’s finally possible to unload your LCC by following this guide.) This past Sunday, the […]

My Litecoin story, or the build vs buy question
May 31st, 2017 
CryptoBadger “I have some money to invest—should I use it to build a mining rig, or should I simply buy [insert cryptocurrency of choice] directly?” That’s probably the most common question I hear from people looking to get into digital currency. I was facing this same question when I decided to jump into Litecoin in early 2013. I’d done […]
Is this another cryptocurrency bubble?
May 24th, 2017 CryptoBadger No doubt most of you have been following the explosive increase in cryptocurrency valuations over the past month. The price of one ether has risen about 400% in the past 30 days. The value of Bitcoin has doubled over the same period, with a single coin trading at an all-time high of nearly $2,500. Litecoin […]
Litecoin available to trade on Coinbase
May 3rd, 2017 CryptoBadger Coinbase, widely regarded as one of the largest and most trustworthy cryptocurrency exchanges, has finally added support for Litecoin as of a few minutes ago. Their LTC price is currently all over the place—immediately rising to nearly $35 before backing down into the low $20s (other exchanges are listing LTC at around $20). It’ll be interesting to […]
Coinbase CEO confirms Litecoin support coming
April 7th, 2017 CryptoBadger Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, has confirmed via Twitter that Litecoin support is finally on the way.

Charlie Lee jokingly predicts $14 LTC price, market reacts
April 5th, 2017 CryptoBadger Charlie Lee, the creator of Litecoin, tweeted on Monday that he expected Litecoin to hit $14/coin when SegWit* activates. The prediction was tongue-in-cheek, based on obviously funny math, but that didn’t stop cryptocurrency traders from reacting. Litecoin’s price rose 10% shortly after Lee’s tweet, and it’s been steadily climbing since then—to about $12/coin at the time of […]
Coinbase to finally offer support for Litecoin?
March 23rd, 2017 CryptoBadger A press release from New York’s Department of Financial Services dated yesterday reveals that Coinbase has been granted approval to offer Litecoin services to its users. Coinbase is widely regarded as the premier Bitcoin exchange. Last July, they added support for Ethereum, prompting many to wonder when (or if) support for Litecoin was coming. The […]
Forbes names Litecoin the best investment for time travelers going back to early 2013
January 13th, 2014 CryptoBadger Forbes published an article today that highlights the tremendous earning power of Litecoin for anyone that had the foresight to buy-in a year ago—it handily beat out top stocks, gold, and even Bitcoin to earn its spot as the top investment of 2013. From the article: The best way to spend a c-note on January […]
Expect a correction on these runaway cryptocurrency valuations
November 27th, 2013 CryptoBadger It’s been exciting watching litecoin go from ~$10 to ~$30 over the past 48 hours, and seeing bitcoin punch through $1000 today. But I’d urge everyone to not make any rash decisions about dumping large amounts of cash into crypto, with the hopes of riding this crazy train to riches. The current growth is mostly […]
