Maybe there are fans of LTC here, I'm not here to crap on people's portfolio choices, but the point of this post is to stimulate debate on what the point of LTC is.

For me, being the "Silver Bitcoin" isn't enough, and Charlie Lee thinks so too, as the LTC team are working to make LTC more relevant, including the adding of confidential transactions.

Is this a step in the right direction?
