I was doing a little research on the history silver. In the Ming dynasty they had an insatiable hunger for silver. Just speculating, perhaps China adopts Litecoin as its crypto "gold". Charlie Lee is Chinese as well just to add to the speculation. Asia is number one in adoption of Litecoin. What if China demands all citizens pay taxes in Litecoin like it did during ming with silver? China may only accept Litecoin as payment for global trade just like it did during Ming with silver?
Gold is only worth more than silver because its harder to mine. Silver has many more uses throughout history. Silver was the first metal to unite the world and start world trade with China.
The dollar becomes the official currency in 1785. The US had no mint to make its own currency so the first temporary currency was the Silver Spanish Peso. The word DOLLAR comes from the word thaler which comes from the German root “thal” which means valley and “thaler” indicates a person or thing from the valley. Thalers were silver coins and they were named Thalers because of a silver rich valley the silver was mined from.
I like to speculate quite a bit so this may be just a bogus idea but its worth keeping in the back of my mind. Also I have written proof if this does happen right here and Im the next Nostradamus hahah, just kidding. Anyways I thought the Litecoin fam would enjoy this little tidbit.
