Litecoin will do what it needs to do in order to scale when the time comes, and I can guarantee you that it will be much smoother than what is going on with Bitcoin right now.

LTC will never be better in bitcoin.. when stress test happen in LTC can become dead coin or no value..
as of now LTC dont experience Pressure thats why you can say that run smoothly..
but when stress come value of it can go lower and lower until no one use..
bitcoin value dont go lower because it high and even stress test come price of it cant lower than LTC..
but think if the bitcoin price is like LTC and experience stress test..do you think it will survive?

I find it very interesting that you included your first statement "LTC will never be better in Bitcoin" (I assume you mean better than?).

Litecoin did in fact experience the same thing, and it was in the form of an attack (which some folks claim has happened with Bitcoin recently beyond Coinwallets stress test). I address this very specifically in an interview I did somewhat recently.

You can also find Charlie talking about this same thing here (also linked in the article)

I guess you would have to define "pressure". A lot of the pressure, publicly at least, has been artificially created.

Litecoin, whatever its merits are, isn't bearing the weight of varying expectations. It's mined, traded on exchanges, a handful of merchants are accepting it and that's it.

There aren't any separate financial instruments in the works, there aren't heavyweight holders from beyond cryptoland that we know about and dark markets don't use it.

It can happily tick away with a harmonious community because it's not on the front line being battered from all directions. If LTC suddenly became the daddy then all of the same arguments, vested interests, political wranglings and nefarious actors would descend upon it.

It's very easy to say things are smooth when everyone's on the same page. If it stopped hiding in BTC's shadow and started leading the way that would grind to a halt.

Actually you are quite wrong, and honestly I cant blame you because (I assume? If I am wrong please let me know) you arent involved with Litecoin that much. Adamantly its always in the same breath as Litecoin, but we get scrutinized by banks and governments almost as much as Bitcoin. Perfect example can be seen here where the HM treasury specifically references Litecoin.

Banks are also asking if someone is involved in Bitcoin OR Litecoin. I'm not going to search the whole internet for examples, but hopefully this shows that there is increased attention and scrutinization beyond your assumptions.

Bottom line here, and this entire thread, is that opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. There are die hard BTC supporters, there are money grabbers, there are Litecoin supporters, and those in between each one. All I know is that I am a Litecoin supporter AND a Bitcoin supporter, as with nearly everyone involved with Litecoin. Personally im in this for crypto and the possibilities it brings, and I am doing my small part in order to bring cryptos to the world.
