The crypto world is difficult to guess. maybe tomorrow or when going up or down the price of the coin is very difficult to predict. Litecoin can also increase in price in the future and can coexist with bitcoin and ethereum.
The crypto market, bitcoin and litecoin will sometime ups, sometime downs.
Good news for current bad period of crypto market and for Litecoin community, in particular, is the coin has likely found its bottom, and has been stable at the current price range around 0.01 BTC for weeks.
I'm sure the bull run last year, was organized. They created demand by manipulating the price and sold after the price went parabolic. After all, the growth back then was sudden and not organic.
