There's a lot of talk on 2018 being litecoin's best year ever.
this year price went up from $4 to $300+ and that is 7400% rise.
the same rise from current price would mean reaching $22500 which is not going to happen by the way.
those lots of talk either have forgotten this year or don't know "best year ever" means

Many people are hinting at a big announcement coming in the next few weeks/months regarding a partnership with one of the big three (Facebook, Amazon, Google).
none of these big names have ever showed any interest in adoption of any "decentralized" cryptocurrency. they are even working on releasing their own centralized version of bitcoin based on the technology alone.
i don't see why they should change their stance suddenly and do it for litecoin when they have not even yet adopted bitcoin!
What are your guesses?
$3000 may happen for LTC, it is a good coin and it is not such a far away target. specially with bitcoin price rise, LTC has always followed it up and nothing is stopping bitcoin from rising in 2018.
When i say "best year ever" i mean in terms of adoption, growth (tx's), endorsements, partnerships, technological, and marketing. We all know 2017 was a monster year and all coins pumped. It will be near impossible to maintain that level of growth year in, year out. I think 2018 will be the year money flows into the strong coins and litecoin is being prepared (by the powers that be) as one of the strongest p2p, decentralized coins out there in the wild.
PS. My bet is on Facebook announcing some type of partnership with litecoin. They (Facebook) wont possibly support bitcoin due to the Winklevoss twins connection to the bitcoin ecosystem. And what is the next best thing to bitcoin? Yes, litecoin.
