I'm buying some LTC lately. No nonsense, no tricks, no b/s coin. Very well known, liquid (always been in the top 10 by volume), much mined and much undervalued (now still close to an all time bottom in price).
It solved the spam attacks very logically years ago.
It seems to me what BTC should have been.
I agree with you on this. I bought in on LTC @ $ 2 and even after all the BS and disappointments it's still there at a reasonably rate. I might hedge 10-20% into that one.
