Litcoin will remain the best coin in the history of the cryptocurrency dubbed the "silver" cryptocurrency. It's paired with bitcoin. It has many advantages in its technology. Such as low fees and fast transactions.
When Litecoin was created it was a fun way to call them the silver because it is just the same code used by Bitcoin with a few changes and there were many who invested in it thinking they could make a fortune. If you look at the market now there are plenty of other coins that are far better in terms of technology and hence the moniker of silver will not stand now
