Eth has assumed ltc place and is currently the silver crypto,
I find the use of the word 'currently' rather telling. Silver will always be silver. Who knows what the next jumble of code will be that gives pumpers a boner?
Probably the next 6 months.
Besides the silver to bitcoin is litecoin.
Those days are clearly gone. Ethereum has been around long enough as number 2 to have officially displaced Litecoin (which is great, but is basically just for holders).
