Who said crypto was all about the price? It has always been about utility since day one. It's just that "Wall Street" entered the scene, and shifted away people's perception about crypto. Now almost everybody wants to get into crypto to make a quick buck. Not because they believe in the technology. Litecoin's blockchain is still alive and running, despite market prices taking a plunge. As long as it remains useful (especially with the low fees and fast confirmation times), nothing else matters.

The reason why LTC isn't "pumping" it's because investors are more inclined to coins with shiny-new features. Especially those with smart contract capabilities. I've said this many times already. You can see why ETH, BNB, and even Solana are "pumping" like crazy. The only exception (as being a single-purpose blockchain) is Bitcoin because it's the one cryptocurrency that started this craze. Just keep buying and "hodling" LTC over time. Maybe you'll get lucky someday?
