No wonder trading volume is huge, people trade shitcoins in LTC if their price is too low to be listed in BTC. One could say LTC has a bright future in shitcoin market.
But now we also have DRK, which is a huge and successful P&D. It "offers" more, developers don't just sit there and wait for ASICs to come, and for now it's more stable than LTC. People might finally ditch LTC and start trading shitcoins in DRK, who knows.
