I am coming to the view that the longer LTC can hold out from specialty hardware, and its scrypt nature appears to make this at least a while....(eventually as the price goes up some one will weld on enough memory to a FPGA and write a driver)


that LTC may >>> overtake BTC for these reasons

[1] faster transactions
[2] more coins, people just like the idea of having more whole coins.
[3] more distributed

BTC could counter by changing client and fork....but that's probally never going to happen, easier to just buy into the other model on an exchange.


Not saying LTC is the winner another coin may overtake it, but LTC does seem better that BTC at what BTC is trying to do.

any views?

There is no reason that view of the future couldn't happen.

I would also add that one reason that Litecoin could do better than bitcoin in the long term is that it isn't bitcoin.

All the press for crypto currencies are focused on bitcoin, so if something really bad happened to bitcoin, the name litecoin doesn't get involved. 

Just a thought!
