When I said more secure I meant it as in 6 years in the future ASICS will be mining in Thz and governments/whoever will be able to have Thz mining rigs all combined solving hashes at 1,000,000 GHz. I don't know very much about BTC but this kind of hashing power may be able to take over the network and they would control all coin activity.
If what I say is true than LTC would have a 6 year longer lifespan.
I am not really sure how hashing power effects the BTC network.
and seeing how the US government doesnt care about blowing money they could just as easily build super computers to mine scrypt coins as well.
