We all know BCH have no future as is highly centralized, and BTC is stagnated due to the scalling discussion.
LTC already have the implementations of BTC and, tech-wise, is always at the front. It already have atomic swap, and can scale more easily as there are less people using it, so the network is not congested.
LTC is also considered as "virtual silver", whereas BTC is "virtual gold". If you study the history of currency, you will see that silver was most used for minting physical coins in the past. Silver was used in daily exchanges and the value of the coins was according to its purity. Gold was kept in reserve and was only for high values. It was more expensive to transport too, as it was prone to theft, requiring more security.
As we can see now, BTC cost much more than LTC, and is more expensive to move due to its high fees, hence it can only be used to buy expensive things.
LTC should rise amidst this dispute between BTC and BCH. BCH dont have any of the new implementations, dont have SegWit, and it have big blocks instead, which might centralize the nodes on servers, thus defeating the purpose of a P2P decentralized currency.
Why not LTC to go forward and become better than bitcoin, as a way of payment, and have its own ATMs around the world? Why not expanding its network to business and startups? Why not become like the silver in the middle ages, a currency that can be used daily, not just a store of value? Let BTC have the sole purpose of a store of value, its gold anyway, virtual gold, something you kept in a safe, something you hodl until you need it, to buy big, expensive stuff.
LTC should go to a hundred dollars so that it can do what bitcoin cannot right now. LTC should take the crown and show what virtual silver is, the currency of the streets.
Tell me what do you think.
I think there is a lot of truth in these words but the issue it is now we have bitcoin cash trying to take that place, we know most of the community does not trust in that project but if major adoption were to happen people will not care about a coin being centralized or not, they will care about the costs of sending transactions and the acceptance of that coin from business and that is something which gives bitcoin cash a chance to overtake bitcoin despite our reluctance for this particular scenario.
