It has been 14 years since the first block appeared on the Litecoin network.
I first heard about Litecoin in 2019, but I have only used Litecoin in recent months.
Payment is an experience, and the way of payment can change people’s lifestyle. I tried to buy Starbucks vouchers with Litecoin on Bitrefill. After getting the voucher, I ran to the Starbucks store to order coffee.
Litecoin is more popular in online stores. People can use Litecoin to buy vouchers for various goods and services, but Litecoin is less popular offline.
When I follow some Litecoin bloggers on Twitter, I found that they are all chart researchers, but the charts are meaningless. What is really meaningful and urgent is how many people use Litecoin for payment.
On Twitter, I basically don’t see anyone actually going offline to consume Litecoin, and I haven’t searched for tweets that offline stores support Litecoin payment.
Is it possible to carry out spontaneous offline promotion campaigns? For example, everyone practices the same concept and promotes Litecoin in a completely decentralized way.
Decentralized promotion of Litecoin means reaching the masses. For example, in Manila, Philippines, Litecoin enthusiasts can meet privately and promote offline stores such as coffee shops or bookstores, so that they can accept Litecoin as payment.
Litecoin enthusiasts in various regions of the world spontaneously organize themselves to promote offline stores in this way, so that Litecoin can reach the masses. The glass doors of offline stores that support Litecoin payment can be affixed with Litecoin logo stickers, just like the VISA logo.
Litecoin enthusiasts can use Litecoin to pay in these stores and encourage other consumers to use Litecoin to pay in these stores. We can also make a Litecoin map to mark the stores that support Litecoin on the earth, so that Litecoin enthusiasts will not get lost when traveling and can find Litecoin cafes.
When there are enough offline consumers and enough stores that support Litecoin, Litecoin can enter the economic cycle in the form of currency and become a convenient monetary tool to improve human life.
Users like to use Litecoin and feel that Litecoin is easy to use. Only in this way can Litecoin last longer and be healthier.
For offline promotion of Litecoin, if enthusiasts want to promote it spontaneously, do you have any suggestions?
Spontaneous offline promotion is a great idea! Start small - encourage local Litecoin meetups where enthusiasts visit and onboard friendly cafes or shops. Offer free Litecoin stickers for businesses, and document each success on social media. A global Litecoin map marking these spots would be powerful. Focus on real usage stories over charts - show people that Litecoin is fast, cheap, and usable. The key is consistency and community coordination. A little effort in each city can snowball into global adoption.
Its never too late to start.
Please feel free to convince merchants. That is the proper way to make the coin popular.
In my country people hardly know PP.
I first started using Litecoin a year after you during the lockdown period. I was just getting into crypto casinos and litecoin was among the deposit options. I did my research, found a good non-custodial wallet, bought some and I have stuck around ever since.
I like your idea, when most people think of using crypto they generalize the issues of slow transactions and poor scalability, if we can highlight how quickly blocks are mined on the litecoin network, which means you can get a cup of coffee just as quickly as you would if you were using any other payment method, people will be willing to use it for micro transactions.
We can also prioritize merchants that are already accepting crypto but not litecoin, then build from there.
