Nothing can beat the Litecoin. Around this time some horrifying stories are everywhere for the same reason: To be able to buy cheaper coins. Litecoin will be around $1000 in April-may this year since there are some whales already started to come in from tomorrow on.
The same as I think. 1000$ for LTC will be achieved in Q2. 2018 will be the year of LTC and probably ETH. BTC can also achieve a nice raise, but will probably not go higher than 40k at the end of this year.
