I completely understand that investing in LTC is more lucrative but still I would put my weight in bitcoin's side. I think we should consider the long-term track record if we are are thinking from investor's point of view. Traders can make good profits from such numbers but in the long run, I am in the favour of the bitcoin.
Correct, this news in LTC is another hype to lure more traders of course they are happy if more are trading with it. Me too is trading LTC but its not the only coin I trade. Same with you, I still prefer my coins in btc, I can exchange it to our local currency easily.
