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.
That's because considering long run, I believe that bitcoin is a good horse with proven track record. I am not blaming or underestimating LTC or any other cryptocurrency but I trust bitcoin more than any other. I am considering aspects like market cap, track record, user base etc. Any other coin might surpass bitcoin but I don't see anything like that happening at least in next few years.
