Sit and be patient, it is highly likely that this year or next litecoin will go above $48. Good things come to those who wait. It is unfortunate some are unable to tell shitcoins apart from the real deal.
A copy coin cannot ever be the real deal. It's just Xeroxed.
But it's not a 100% clone is it. Also if you see their road map for this year you will see greater variation.
I think those trying to stray too far from the original format are going to see this is not wise. Better with minor beneficial adjustments.
Add to this wide acceptance by the community and especially china. This is china's BTC.
There is a much broader base of LTC early adopters. I think eventually you will see this is very beneficial.
I also think you will see doge come on in leaps and bounds in the near future.
2.0 coins are starting to lose their shine a little. The older 1.0 POW coins will make a come back.
