litecoin is going to be the number two altcoin forever
I don't think so. There is been 0 innovations in litecoin. It's just there because of some chinese whales.
For the common user, lifetecoin has no value.
I believe Litecoin will lose that #2 spot in 2016. It's not just the price, look at how it's 24 hour volume has been slipping with recent competition.
