Unlike many of its competitors, Litecoin is a tried-and-tested blockchain network that's decentralized. The cryptocurrency first started as a direct "copycat" of Bitcoin, only to face a major change in the protocol regarding built-in privacy with Mimblewimble. The reduced block time and limited supply of 84m units, makes LTC a unique coin among the rest of the pack. Solana is faster and cheaper than LTC, but it's centralized, unreliable, with a larger number of coins in circulation. LTC's added scarcity should contribute towards higher market prices in the long run.
Slowly but surely, it will get to $1k. A prolonged bullish market for BTC, should prop up LTC to the moon. Who knows if Litecoin is bound to make a comeback soon?
Not sure if it would ever happen again because the last time when I have got good profit with Litecoin was during the last quarter of 2017 and after that people were speculating it to go much higher than ETH as well as Litecoin was one of the top Altcoin back then wherein it was most preferred one for speedy transfer and low fees (Which other coins have taken over now). Litecoin let me down on multiple occasions and IMO I am reluctant on Litecoin but let's wait and see if it can pull out a surprise this bullrun.
