Can't we all just get along  the idea that litecoin gaining traction and price will impact bitcoins price is an old out of date 2012 notion, with litecoin being added to many exchanges in china for instance any previous bottleneck in turning fiat directly into litecoin will be removed. Without that dynamic in play why would there be any strong objections to Litecoin. Having a successful altcoin or two besides Bitcoin adds weight to the class of cryptocurrency as a whole, rather than making Bitcoin look like a zany experiment that can't be replicated to the world at large a few cryptocurrency "alternatives" is just that a few options in a new and exciting developing class of border-less currency.

Litecoin what can you do with it ? ......pfffttt where have I heard that before, calling Litecoin dead is so shortsighted sounds like sounds like I've just got out of the tardis in Bitcoin 2011.
