Founder of Litecoin, Charlie Lee stated that he sold out of his LTC when its price reached ATH at the beginning of 2018. So in my opinion with a coin that has been around for so long as LTC, the opportunity for it to rise to that price is very difficult. We can bet on the newer altcoins with better technology like LINK or XTZ.
You are very wrong here. Lietecoin is a direct copy of Bitcoin. They never planed to do any big changes, but stay as close as possible to Bitcoin. That is their sell point. If you believe Litecoin will be replaced you should also believe that Bitcoin will be replaced.
do not agree, why in the hell will someone think that BTC should be replaced, if think that LTC did not proved value over the years, LTC was in top 10 for a long time, but seems that they are not offering anything new last two years, and some other project, younger, stronger, with larger community are replacing them in top 10 list, does not have to be that they are solving the same issue, LTC is trying to provide network for fast and small fee payment, and they are good at it, but there are other projects that offer something new and more interesting, that are making better usage and larger market capitalization, it is as simple as that
