Interestingly, Litecoin, which is positioned as "digital silver," is actually being overshadowed by spot silver in terms of price conversion. This situation is indeed a bit ironic — the unit price of traditional precious metal silver is actually more resilient than Litecoin. What does this reflect? Is it a market adjustment in expectations for this old-school altcoin, or is it the resilience of traditional commodity assets themselves? The underlying value logic of the two is fundamentally different, but this price reversal is still worth pondering.

LTC-7,78%

Litecoin is being held down by silver, which is really a bit frustrating... Where's the promised digital silver?

Haha... LTC being pressed into the ground by Silver is indeed a signal. To put it simply, the market is pricing in, and the story of altcoins is no longer convincing.

Haha, Litecoin was really countered by silver. That title of silver can finally be taken off. Old coins are always easier to abandon. Without a narrative, it's just waiting to die. Silver really resists falling, this is the true confidence of an asset. The hype around Litecoin should have cooled down by now. Those who bought regret it. Speaking of which, traditional commodities are more resilient. The consensus in the crypto circle is too fragile. Value logic? In Web3, there's no such thing as logic, it's just hype. But thinking about it carefully, this reversal is quite interesting. After telling the story of Litecoin, it feels like all the fresh blood has gone to meme coins. Silver outperforming LTC like this shows that traditional finance has also entered the crypto space.
