It doesn't seem like scrypt really adds anything. Once the hashrate is high enough I am sure ASICS will get made for it. The only thing that makes litecoin appealing to me is faster transaction times.

(litecoin, worldcoin, etc.)

IMO litecoins aren't useful for anything other than buying bitcoins and fiat cashout. As bitcoin difficulty is too much for GPU miners, alt coins will devaluate not because of extra people moving there but rather the rate of difficulty increase is lower than bitcoin's rate of difficulty increase.
yes
