I think that litecoin is one of the better projects available in the market and it is one of those coins which will surely grow in the future. Litecoin is known for its lightning quick transactions as it is almost 4 times faster than Bitcoin. the fees for transactions is also very low which makes it more usable than Bitcoin.
The team of the project is also very very strong which is another factor you should consider for investing in litecoin. You can easily expect litecoin to cross the 1500$ mark by the end of this year for sure.
