I am still looking at litecoin for a hedge against btc dump, i think litecoin has an inflationary issue which is quite on the high side considering the amount of coins
Only 62% vs 78% mined (roughly), that's right, and a factor of 4 in terms of total supply. So this means a bit more inflation right now but I'm not sure it's an issue as such. I would tend to think that any crypto with less than 100 million coins will be considered rare or semi-rare in a couple of years.
