Currently LTC going to pump and it looks like it's because some positive news about coinbase integration
https://soundcloud.com/whaleclub-bitcoin/panel-interviewhangout-with-coinbase-exchange. In addition, there are some big orders in last days in famous exchanges.
Also, all this discussions about bitcoin hard fork, block size, news related to Gavin and even talks about Satoshi's premined coins reduces bitcoin reputation in the crowd's eyes. Crowd decides. Algorithm, block size doesn't matter if crowd decided to go with Dogecoin, Ripple or Litecoin. I want bitcoin be the strongest but if crowd will be scared beacuse of latest discussions I mentioned above I have to switch to LTC with the pain in my soul.
I think, bitcoin community should stop FUD and pointless discussions, average people really getting scared because of this, they can't understand is it really bad news for BTC or not. You know, that BTC is ok, but crowd doesn't. All of us should now tell our friends and relatives involved to btc that hard fork, block size talks is not a problem. My friens are really scared with this and want to go with LTC.
Hope BTC-->LTC replacing will not happen but
