There are supposed to be four times more litecoins (84 million) than bitcoins (21 million) so with everything else being equal, Litecoin should cost 1/4 that of Bitcoin. But Litecoin is currently trading at about 10 dollars each while Bitcoin is trading at around 400-500 dollars each which makes it undervalued by a factor of 10.
Has it got something to do with the distribution curve (ie. more litecoins are produced in the first few years compared to Bitcoin)?
Only because BTC famous than LTC, so they have more money to support. Have something interest, someone will always took pains to do.
Price with circulation is not proportional relationship, decided the price is value.
