Litecoin has the power of Bitcoin & DOGE combined. It is deflationary with fixed supply like Bitcoin. Again, it's transaction fees are cheap and has a quick settlement time like DOGE. There is no reason for it's untimely death.
Only drawback I see in Litecoin is that it's community is not as apprehensive to new projects as Bitcoin/DOGE. Openness to the new & untested is required for growth.
Litecoin is one of those good-old coins that are as solid as Bitcoin itself in terms of decentralization and censorship-resistance. It's fast, dirt cheap, with an extremely-limited supply of 84m coins. If inflationary cryptocurrencies like BNB and ETH went all the way to the moon, then LTC can do better. The problem with Litecoin is that development progress is quite slow compared to other cryptocurrencies being traded on the market. Not only that, but the project is weak on the marketing/promotion side. If the team would've done a better job in this regard, Litecoin would've been among the top 5 coins in market cap.
Impressively, the coin hasn't vanished yet as many exchanges are still supporting it. There are a lot of trading pairs for LTC, so it's likely the coin will be with us for a very long time. As much as I'd like to see LTC rise in price, I think it's a lost cause. After all, people are focused on big players with shiny-new features (mainly smart contract platforms like BNB, Cardano, Avalanche, and Polygon). At least, Litecoin is a usable cryptocurrency. Who knows how far will it go? Just my opinion
