Everything related to adoption is influenced by innovation, the more frequently innovations appear, the greater the adoption that occurs in a crypto project. Looking at what's happening with Litecoin (LTC) & Monero (XMR), it seems like the attention is no longer strong, there are many more solid projects & favored by VCs who want to make big profits from their investments.

Luckily, Litecoin (LTC) & Monero (XMR) are 2 fully decentralized projects, perhaps we'll see a resurgence of these projects when PoS experiences many problems in the future.
