Litecoin is one of the first open-source altcoins based on the original Bitcoin code. It was initially a strong competitor to the first cryptocurrency. However, as the cryptocurrency market expanded, Litecoin’s popularity gradually declined.
Choosing cryptocurrency pairs for trading
Speaking about the choice of pairs for trading, let's remember Coinmarketcap again with its 2,000 cryptocurrencies. Such a large number of currencies cannot be traded, so we will choose the most promising pairs. There are several secrets for the right choice:
Choose pairs where there is a fiat currency or a stablecoin. Their course is relatively stable and it will be easier to analyse the situation. Most often, beginners choose the BTC/USD and ETH/USDT pairs.
The selected currency pair should be traded frequently and actively so that it can be bought or sold at any time. Thus, the trader will not lose time in adverse conditions and will make an instant transaction.
Big players do not seriously affect the value of popular currencies. Things are worse for altcoins with a limited supply. Therefore, it is better to focus on the presence of a large amount of demand, because such currencies are more resistant to whales.
Of course, do not forget the main rules of trading and be aware of the risks. To begin with, it is not recommended to invest large amounts, the loss of which you will regret.
