Well not really near the price of LTC but since BTC, LTC and FTC are pretty much similar lets take this as an example:

BTC = 13703 / 16 = 702 USD
LTC = 242 / 4 = 60 USD
FTC = 0.489 USD

LTC is like 12x cheaper than BTC, meanwhile FTC is 120x cheaper than LTC. Something doesn't add up. Imagine having some news outlets talking about FTC. It's just waiting to blow up like LTC.

People just don't know much about FTC and that's the main reason, just give it a little push and wait for an avalanche.

The creator of FTC Peter Bushnell (Twitter: Bushtar) has returned to continue working on FTC.

Litecoin was like stucking under 5 USD for like 3 years and exploded to 250 USD.

I would rather be surprised not seeing FTC surpass 5 USD within the next 2 years. In the pool of shitcoins FTC seems rather solid and legit.

Transactions run smooth with currently no fees ofc.

IMO it just lacks popularity and the option to buy some. The easiest way currenty imo was to transfer ETH->Cryptopia(no reg restrictions)->BTC->FTC.

But once it gets some popularity and easier options to buy it I don't see any barriers to invest for now.
