This belief is supported by Litecoin’s recent performance, having surged 85% since hitting record lows versus Bitcoin.According to Lee, Litecoin’s potential gains versus Bitcoin are not limited to this recent surge. He predicts that the LTC/BTC pair could rally to 0.025 BTC, an increase of over 700%, in the next bull cycle. Lee attributes this potential surge to Litecoin having “higher throughput by design, scalability with extension blocks, better fungibility and privacy from MWEB [MimbleWimble].“<blockquote>“I can see an upside target of 10% (0.025 LTC/BTC). In the next bull market, 5% (0.0125) shouldn’t be too hard to achieve. I honestly don’t see it going much below 1% (0.0025) on the downside. The next halving will be in ~92 days. This is going to be fun.“</blockquote>Lee’s optimism regarding Litecoin’s potential gains versus Bitcoin underscores the cryptocurrency’s strength as an investment option for diversifying their portfolios.Disclaimer: The content on this site should not be considered investment advice.
