You can pump LTC 5% with about $60k. Do the same with BTC and no one will notice. Also, you try to cash out huge gains for significant sums, you slip right down.
Why would you want to cash out of an asset that's preforming as well as LTC (price tripled over the past month)?
I mean, ya, sure, you held BTC while it did the exact opposite (albeit over a year and a half), so points for intrinsic consistency, but still...
You sure it aint just plain old jealousy? Hate to see the other fellow win big while you ...is there a polite word for "opposite of win big"?
Bitcoin quintupled (wow, that's actually a word? typing it, I thought it wouldnt be) in a month (from about $200 in October 28th of 2013 to $1000+ by November 28th of the same year), before this "opposite of win big" bitcoin went through. Would it have been wise to cash out $600 dollar bitcoins November 20th? I would say "yes". If someone holding LTC from sometime between January and May cashes out now, it's a wise idea.
