Actually, you should ask yourself: Who in there right mind would invest in an altcoin thats a 1:1 Bitcoin clone (litecoin)?
Like he's on cue, Darkota shows up just to say something really, really stupid about Litecoin.

You posted that article for what? It lists differences that don't Matter, blocktimes, algo, that doesn't matter as Scyrpt is essentially the same as Sha-256 now since its Not asic resistant anymore. Litecoin's 2.5 minute blocktime Does Not matter, there are altcoins like Fastcoin that has 10 second blocktimes(putting litecoin to shame), also Bitcoin has Instant payments with 1 confirmation through bitpay.
Litecoin Has No Features of its own to differentiate it from Bitcoin, making it more useless than the hundreds of scamcoins released(at least they have Some features)
Also back to that article you posted, here is a quote from them: "Transaction speed (or faster block time) and confirmation speed are often touted as moot points by many involved in bitcoin, as most merchants would allow zero-confirmation transactions for most purchases."
Even they admit that litecoins 2.5minute blocktime doesnt matter, LOL.
