Now that digital currency is becoming more and more popular in the whole world, there are lots of altcoins that exist in the market aside from Bitcoin. In your own opinion, what is/are the altcoin/s that will also be popular aside from Bitcoin and why did you say so?

Litecoin, because Bitcoin will not get segwit anytime soon, so as fees go higher in Bitcoin, people will look for alternatives to make payments, and Litecoin is the ideal alternative because it will have segwit and lighting networks backed by the Bitcoin Core's solid code.

Litecoin has always been there with bitcoin, it was overshadowed by bitcoin but it is a great coin on its own. I wouldn't be surprised to see litecoin take over bitcoin's throne, but that probably won't happen. But with segwit coming to litecoin it certainly gain some popularity.

Litecoin will not take Bitcoin's throne as a store of value. Bitcoin will still be the top ranked currency, but Litecoin will gain more value due more transactions happening there than on the Bitcoin blockchain, because at some point it will just not make any sense having to wait 2 hours for a transaction in order for the safe confirmations to happen, and the fees will also make it not worth it other than holding coins and sending important amounts.

Small payments will all happen in Litecoin. This is a fact as long as Bitcoin cannot get segwit and lightning network to massive scaling.

Why to use LTC payments if there are many cheap and faster payment methods? Almost instant, anonymous etc. I still can't understand the hype around segwit. It doesn't brings anything that other alts can't offer without it. We have cheap and fast TXs method. You can also find instant and no fees transfer method. You guys are missing the point. BTC has first movers advantage but technology is not static. BTC is far from the leaders. It is just FIRST crypto.

Of course you can say that business accept BTC payments. You can pay electricity bills with Bitcoins but will you if TX fee is higher than your invoice? Business just don't understand the technological side. They are in a trap of BTC hype. But after they will understand it, they will definitely remove it out. However, as TX fees are not their problem and they accept only fiat (BTC converted to fiat in real time price), they can continue to accept "BTC" though, actually, they are accepting only fiat.
