Litecoin is a coin I hold a reserve of. I put most of my long-term savings into MINT for minting, but I think LTC could eventually surpass BTC in marketcap. LTC is at least the same or better than BTC in everyway. I see no reason it shouldn't be at least $50 USD per coin right now.  Especially BTC has problems LTC doesn't have. LTC is much more scalable than BTC and faster. I think LTC is the better coin of the two, and if/when BTC falls, LTC will be there to carry the torch next. The only reason I hold any BTC at all is to trade it a little bit on exchanges because that is what most people seem to want, but it seems completely irrational to me why people still prefer BTC over LTC or MINT. I wish LTC was buyable directly from Coinbase, and other places more easily, because if it was, I would prefer to do my transactions with it instead of BTC; but right now, I am forced to still use BTC, and then covert it into the altcoins I want.
But who am I kidding? This crypto world is the Wild West of the internet and everything is irrational!
