OK first of all i understand this should be in Rumour mill but with all the spam i feel it wont get addressed.
Heard that SR may change its currency from BTC to LTC
is there any truth in this Modz????
I have my own predictions to what this may cause if this is the case
-
Where did you "hear" this?
-
I was going to ask this question this week.
I have found alternative sites to Silk Road...that only take LTC.
I guess I never thought about it, but the same way that you have different country currencies, will we now see a trend of alternative digital currencies not tied to any country or government?
Will we begin to see exchanges flooding the clearnet and deepweb just like one is trading the yen or the Deutschmark or the ruble or the baht or the British Sterling or the dollar?
This is going to get very, very, very interesting in 2013.

There has been no such announcement but I agree that it would be nice to see SR support litecoin

all lies rumers started by people with nothing better to do

Well, I'd be in favor of using a currency that's not quite so bonkers as BTC is right now, but a transition to LTC would be majorly disruptive and I'd worry that once that happened, LTC would start acting just like BTC.
I think that if BTC can calm down from the current frenzy, we have a chance to perfect the acquisition and distribution channels for it, and it will be what it promises to be. Sort of hard to build infrastructure in the current environment.

here's an article from infowars.com about bitcoin and a looming bust. If you care to read. http://www.infowars.com/how-the-looming-bitcoin-crash-will-be-exploited-by-globalists-to-outlaw-decentralized-crypto-currencies/

The idea would be that SR would support both LTC and BTC, this would give both currencies greater stability in the long run.

Greater stability would be good for everyone. I worry about what the BTC-mania could do to SR.

I think its not a bad idea.

That's an interesting article, and while I don't have any opinion on the specific theory of what's happening that he presents, I do have a very strong opinion that the big banks (who have now become The Powers That Be) are working on and will find a way to shut it down. I hope not, but I'm very cynical about how much freedom of choice anyone has anymore.

trust me this is not going to happen end of! i know for sure its never going to happen so stop spreading lies >:(
-
I think it's crazy how much of a role that SR has in the Bitcoin economy. I bet if DPR shut the site down for good, Bitcoin prices would drop down to less than 120.00. I could just be talking out of my ass, but that's just my hypothesis about it.

i agree SR is the major player in the price of bitcoins if there was no SR bitcoin would still be unheard of to many
-
If SR kills off bitcoin, bitcoin price will drop a fair bit and LTC price would increase a lot.
I'm not sure how LTC is managed though, so I can't be sure, but that's the most likely outcome.

yeah out of your ass

PLeaseee addd it!!!!!!!
I cant think of one con to adding LTC
SOme vendors already start accepting it
also both BTC and LTC are extremely cheap now!!!! buy a lot!
-
If Ltc is for real, I'd like to see it added to SR as an option vendors can choose to accept or not.
Ltc feels like a scam to me though. Threads like this are exactly what scammers would post - but, if the OP has some facts to base his/her wild claim upon, I apologize in advance. NWN

This is all over the net and even a few of my friends have said it to me. As for loosely throwing the word scammers around i know absolute nothing about this hence it was directed at the modz.

it was in dollars for me :o

It is hard to believe you don't know the power of the banking industry. Most of the people I mingle with are very high up executives and they say the talks have been in board meetings for the last few months. Look at the value now compared to when this was posted...IJS
