That is how life is bro! When people see things bad, they say the worst, and when it starts being rosy, they start their praises. As far as I am concerned, LTC will always be in the shadow of BTC and there is nothing that would change that. It is more or less a replica probably meant to be the silver of bitcoin.

Of course, it has some reputations too and support, with not so huge of a growth but not bad and I would not say it does not have a future. At least, it has a future more than so many alts out there right now.
