Litecoin is a pig. Don't touch it. It's dead. Only bagholders left, no new money entering the LTC market.
They're trying to hype this segwit stuff, but it won't have a positive effect on LTC price whatsoever.
Litecoin is better then most alternatives as it did update to 0.13 code base but at close to $200 million marketcap it is over valued when comparing to coins like Gulden that updated to 0.13 before litecoin and did a lot more. Gulden is only at $7.3 million in marketcap but is a better and more usable coin.
