The reality is just that. What innovative features does Litecoin have that merit the number two spots?
"oh Litecoin is Silver to Bitcoin's gold"
All it has is a marketing gimmick in its favor. Out of the next 8 alt coins after Litecoin
on coinmarketcap virtually all of them have better features, technology, and active development than Litecoin.
Litecoin serves as a feasible additional layer of obfuscation with a market volume that can support such a role. It's a perfect compliment to Bitcoin.
