While I still believe Litecoin is just another pointless alt, I think Satoshi Lite genuinely believes it's digital silver and it helps BTC.

I think Bitcoin will scale to meet the demand for the types of uses that BTC is good for. And since LTC is a straight-up clone, there'll be no appropriate demand left over. There will certainly be demand for *other* uses, but unless LTC meaningfully differentiates, it won't benefit.

Litecoin is a cheaper, faster, marginally less-secure version of BTC. Plenty of advantages there.

Litecoin and other scamcoins like it, on the other hand, do not bring anything new to the table. They are just mere clones that retain the pump-and-dump nature of Bitcoin, but without the innovation that makes Bitcoin viable as a currency.

"Success" in blockchains is not defined by more market cap, investors, developers or even users. Success is defined by trust minimization, preservation of integrity and strict protection of property and agreements. This is why BTC, LTC and ETC are the most successful blockchains.

Litecoin's only real use case was to be an R&D project for reflecting on and benchmarking security of decentralized timestamps (e.g., OpenTimestamps project).

Litecoin, a cryptocurrency nobody uses, is now comparable in notional value to the silver market.

I have a positive impression of the Litecoin community, but I'm not optimistic about LTC's future.

I originally saw it as a hedge against a particular Bitcoin panic, now it's just an altcoin with a reasonable amount of liquidity.
