During our most recent Twitter Space Town Hall we were asked about our marketing plan. It’s a question that comes up regularly so we thought we’d cover it in a bit more detail, explaining what we’re doing and why we’ve chosen our current approach. Most of the time people are interested in our marketing plan for the same reason they’re interested in our exchange listing plan, speculation. It’s generally assumed that spending money on marketing will attract new users and this will increase the value of a project’s tokens. In

When AMCTheatres enabled the option to pay in cryptos, Litecoin registered a decent hike. The reasoning seemed genuine and even additional metrics pointed out that it was probably an organic rise in the short term. However, on further research, it appeared that Litecoin has begun following a pattern. One where it goes up by a significant margin, sits there for a while, and then drops back down, canceling all or most of the growth. An example of the same can be found on the chart itself.

At the time of writing, BTC is trading just above $59,000.  Aside from a few select altcoins, almost the entire crypto market followed Bitcoin’s lead today by making a downward move.
