The only real answer to this question is that right now you can mine the most crypto from any given hardware in recent litecoin history. It is without the doubt the best moment to be mining, and people in a few years would kill to be able to mine .2 litecoin a month, just like people wish they could mine anything close to .2 bitcoin a month today on a small peice of hardware running on your desk

This is where I find the disconnect between BTC and LTC. BTC is actively being developed, but LTC feels abandoned by Charlie Lee and no one has really stepped up. I still like that pooler put in a lot of work with litecoinpool, cpuminer, electrum-ltc. And you jstefanop with this ASIC miner, bfgminer, etc. Hard to say if LTC community can really step up with the coding side of it. I haven't seen any commits in over a year.
Any person with absolute lowest IQ (that would be me!!) should be able to connect the dots and says NO to LTC!
Announcement was all over the news and internet:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/20/litecoin-founder-charlie-lee-sells-his-holdings-in-the-cryptocurrency.htmlHow much and when? When it was as high as LTC boy figured his baby coin could reach!
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/So, it went UP UP UP ... the guy emptied his wallet to ZERO ... since then LTC has kept going DOWN DOWN DOWN ... because certainly developers do not give CRAP CRAP CRAP!!
