2022-2025 年莱特币 (LTC) 价格预测：LTC 能否与比特币 (BTC) 和以太坊 (ETH) 并驾齐驱？

随着比特币徘徊在 10 万美元左右，整个加密货币市场一片欣欣向荣，加密货币总市值已超过 3.5 万亿美元。

As Bitcoin hovers around the $100,000 mark, the entire crypto market is rejoicing with greens, which has sent the total crypto market cap past $3.5 trillion.

随着比特币徘徊在 10 万美元大关附近，整个加密货币市场一片欢腾，加密货币总市值突破 3.5 万亿美元。

While BTC, much like always, continues to lead bull cycles, memecoins have emerged as the leading narrative, surpassing utility coins. This time, there are no whitepapers or litepapers to take a deep dive into the project's value and understand the fundamentals.

虽然 BTC 一如既往地继续引领牛市周期，但模因币已超越实用币，成为主导叙事。这一次，没有白皮书或精简版文件来深入探讨该项目的价值并了解基本原理。

Crypto's run-up these past two years has been dominated by memecoin. A primary reason for this traction has been regular crypto users being fed up with backroom dealings where projects raise money from venture capitalists (VCs) by selling their coins at a really low price. These VCs then dump their coins on the retail after the project goes live, and the token gets an exchange listing.

过去两年加密货币的崛起主要是由 memecoin 主导的。这种吸引力的主要原因是普通加密货币用户厌倦了幕后交易，即项目通过以极低的价格出售代币来从风险资本家（VC）那里筹集资金。项目上线后，这些风险投资公司将他们的代币抛售给零售店，代币也将在交易所上市。

But with memecoins, there's no such shenanigans involved. With platforms like Pump.fun making it extremely easy for anyone to launch memecoins, everyone has to buy tokens in the open market and race to dump on each other.

但对于模因币来说，就不存在这样的恶作剧了。像 Pump.fun 这样的平台让任何人都可以非常轻松地发行模因币，每个人都必须在公开市场上购买代币，并竞相互相抛售。

There are no rules either; memecoins are simply an attempt to be lighthearted and attract a user base by promising a fun community while offering a really low entry point. They have no utility beyond this and tend to be highly volatile, even more so than the typical crypto.

也没有规则；模因币只是一种轻松的尝试，通过承诺提供一个有趣的社区，同时提供非常低的进入点来吸引用户群。除此之外，它们没有任何用处，并且往往具有很高的波动性，甚至比典型的加密货币更不稳定。

Memecoins are simply cryptocurrencies representing animals, artwork, characters, or individuals. As a matter of fact, absolutely anything can be used for a memecoin. Actually, the coins that have been utility coins throughout your crypto journey have been switching into memecoins, too.

模因币只是代表动物、艺术品、人物或个人的加密货币。事实上，任何东西都可以用作模因币。事实上，在你的加密之旅中一直是实用币的硬币也已经转变为模因币。

This is exactly what digital silver and Bitcoin's digital gold, Litecoin (LTC), have done. On Nov. 14, this over-a-decade-old coin got renewed interest when the person behind Litecoin's X (previously Twitter) account put this on social media:

这正是数字白银和比特币的数字黄金莱特币（LTC）所做的。 11 月 14 日，当莱特币 X（之前的 Twitter）帐户背后的人在社交媒体上发布了以下内容时，这款已有十多年历史的硬币重新引起了人们的兴趣：

The post came amidst the memecoin market cap reaching a new high, signaling a slow return of retail interest into the market. This was on the back of the listings of two popular memecoins, Pepe and Dogwifhat (WIF), and on major U.S. exchange Coinbase. Pepe, the frog coin that started the memecoin mania last year, was also listed on Robinhood, a leading brokerage platform popular among retail in the US.

这篇文章发布之际，模因币市值创下新高，这表明散户兴趣正在缓慢回归市场。这是在两种流行的 memecoin Pepe 和 Dogwifhat (WIF) 以及美国主要交易所 Coinbase 上市后发生的。去年引发模因币热潮的青蛙币 Pepe 也在美国零售业领先的经纪平台 Robinhood 上市。

So, with its humorous attempt to get the same attention that memecoins have been getting, Litecoin also jumped in on the trend. As can be seen from the response the post generated, Litecoin suddenly got a lot of attention, which helped its price gain traction.

因此，莱特币以幽默的方式试图获得与模因币同样的关注，也加入了这一趋势。从该帖子的反应可以看出，莱特币突然受到了很多关注，这有助于其价格上涨。

The price of LTC surged more than 42% since that post as it moved past $106, a level last seen in early April this year. Crypto exchange Gate.io even listed it under the memecoin section.

自该帖子发布以来，LTC 的价格飙升了 42% 以上，突破了 106 美元，上次达到今年 4 月初的水平。加密货币交易所 Gate.io 甚至将其列在 memecoin 部分下。

At the time of writing, the 26th largest cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $7.34 billion, has been trading at $97.57 while managing $1.174 billion in 24-hour volume.

截至撰写本文时，第 26 大加密货币的市值为 73.4 亿美元，交易价格为 97.57 美元，24 小时交易量为 11.74 亿美元。

Still, LTC price is only up a mere 35.21% this year compared to other older coins like Bitcoin, which is up 133.35%, XRP's 144.5% gains, ADA's 79%, Tron's 96.69%, and XLM's 317% upside during the same period.

尽管如此，与比特币等其他旧代币相比，LTC 的价格今年仅上涨了 35.21%，同期比特币上涨了 133.35%，XRP 上涨了 144.5%，ADA 上涨了 79%，Tron 上涨了 96.69%，XLM 上涨了 317%。

But then, there's Ethereum, whose 52.66% year-to-date (YTD) performance has also been a disappointing one despite the second-largest cryptocurrency getting a Spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) approved.

但以太坊今年迄今 (YTD) 的 52.66% 表现也令人失望，尽管第二大加密货币获得了现货交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的批准。

While ETH is only 29% off of its peak, LTC is a whopping 76.3% away from its all-time high (ATH) of $410.26 hit in May 2021. The same trend can be seen in Litecoin's open interest (OI), which surged to $472 million on Nov. 24, though nowhere near its last bull cycle peak of a billion dollars, as per Coinglass.

虽然 ETH 仅比峰值低 29%，但 LTC 距离 2021 年 5 月创下的 410.26 美元的历史高点 (ATH) 却相差了 76.3%。莱特币的未平仓合约 (OI) 也出现了同样的趋势，该指数飙升根据 Coinglass 的数据，截至 11 月 24 日，该公司的市值达到 4.72 亿美元，但距离上一个牛市周期峰值 10 亿美元还差得很远。

A Memecoin or a Utility Coin: Understanding Litecoin

Memecoin 还是实用币：了解莱特币

Litecoin (LTC) was launched in 2011, only a few years after Bitcoin, by Charlie Lee, an MIT graduate and former Google engineer. It utilized Bitcoin's source code but made changes to make it faster and cheaper.

莱特币 (LTC) 于 2011 年由麻省理工学院毕业生、前谷歌工程师查理·李 (Charlie Lee) 推出，距比特币仅几年。它利用了比特币的源代码，但进行了一些修改，使其更快、更便宜。

Referred to as “the silver to Bitcoin's gold,” the idea with Litecoin wasn't to create a replacement for Bitcoin but to provide yet another blockchain to the developing crypto ecosystem, which is decentralized but has faster block generation. So, as a digital gold, Bitcoin acts as a store of value, while Litecoin, as a digital silver, is to be used to facilitate transactions.

莱特币被称为“比特币黄金中的白银”，其想法并不是要创建比特币的替代品，而是为正在发展的加密生态系统提供另一个区块链，该生态系统是去中心化的，但具有更快的区块生成速度。因此，比特币作为数字黄金，充当价值储存手段，而莱特币作为数字白银，用于促进交易。
