The Majority will switch to LTC once the coinbase wallet is online so fast it will blow your mind.
For the rest of the world BTC is a product/service not a religion where it can only go up.
LTC is Faster, 4X Transaction capacity, & has a cheaper fee system.

LOL why as alternative you give LTC while ETH is much better 16s block quite cheap transactions, will have LN.
ETH have better volume over time. ETH have real transaction like 70k-100k.
I am almost full in BTC but if i should look alternative ETH is much better.
ETH as coin will be free from greedy Jihan and his ASICs monopoly.
THIS IS GREAT POINT too to consider -
environment without that cancer.Today much more people chose ETH than LTC as alternative and man ETH is much more usefull than LTC.
LTC have 12miners government vs ETH Vitalik government i don't see much difference here in both systems "users" are the one who counts. Okay ETH with ETC has given users chose that LTC doesn't give.
To be honest if I would invest then ETH is 10x better bet on future projects.
LTC have nice boost of segwit but NO ONE use LTC and in jam people use ETH more than LTC.
ETH is completely different philosophy and roadmap.
ETH is a smart contract system wich allow to use blockchain everywhere it possible.
Smart contract is a programed code which are "living" inside the blockchain and everyone can call it for some price in Ether.
This price called - GAS
What we need it for?
Are you know that Bitcoin has also smart contract system build in, but it is based on Scrypt programing language and not Turing full wich not allow to make good code for coder. Bitcoin smartcontracts is limited.
Thats why Ethereum uses Turing full programing language. BUT! It allows you to make code something like this:
foo = 0;
while (True) {
foo++;
}
What does that mean?
It means that this contract will be CYCLED forever long! And will burn all GAS as long as it CYCLED. Thats why in Ethereum GAS or Ehter cost some price. Not to avoid this cycles in smart contract to long forever. This GAS or Ether can be bought on cryptoexchange, but it is not cryptocurency. It have completely another purposes.
ETH is bad as cryptocurency.And it is obviously not cryptocurency at all. Ethereum is universal blokchain. It is good to avoid a lot of blockchain creation. (For example instead of making another code for National Library blockchain we can use Ethereum and so on if you are a transport company which every week deliver new magazines to National Library and you want to make blockchain for your scheduled delivery you do not need to create copletely new, because you have Ethtreum allready. Also this one blockchain created between transport company and National Library can be used for another company which are conected with them and so on and on...It is cheaper and easier for mostly all companies)
Ethereum is different from Litecoin and Bitcoin philosophy and use.
Litecoin purpose is clear as sky. $LTC is decentralized cryptocurency. It is new form of money. Ethereum is new form of relationship between everything and everyone. Both are worth!
With Segwit Litecoin becomes one of the best available on market cryptocurency. Runing far far away from Bitcoin and others from technical side and perspectives that it gives in future.
