Litecoin has been around for quite some time now, and its user base is either dormant or declining. Even the recent spike in the crypto market capitalization has failed to boost the LTC. I am afraid that the big whales who were supporting LTC earlier have shifted their loyalty to either ETH or XRP. Right now, LTC is devoid of any media spotlight and despite its obvious advantages such as faster confirmations, the user base is not expanding.
that is simply wrong. specially about XRP. obviously when an altcoin is getting pumped it will attract all the money in the market, so ETH is doing exactly that right now but XRP's pump has stopped long time ago and it has been on the fall so far.
also if what you say is true and people have left litecoin, whales leaving, user base decreasing price should have fell and continued going down. but if you take a look at the charts you can see it has been very stable for a long time. it went up high because of SW hype and came down to above 0.01
BTC and it is sticking around there. that shows there is a buying demand for it still.
