As far as cryptocurrencies go I feel like litecoin isn't that bad. It's been around forever and it's basically just a bitcoin fork with different parameters. Because it's not crazily-over speculated like btc using it feels more liquid. I have actually used it for some online purchases, unlike btc which is more or less a lottery ticket for me.
Someone's been scammed here, most likely it is fake news for a pump and dump. The fact that mainstream news just spread it shows they have no understanding of cryptocurrencies.<p>Or... Walmart themselves have been scammed if the news is true. Someone convinced them LTC was actually a good choice...
