it can handle many more transactions due to confirmation speeds
it is more decentralized
china loves it
it has enormous hash power
it always worked as a lever towards btc
there are many reasons for it to be way more worth than now
Actually, you missed the #1 (safety) and #2 (liquidity) value of LTC.
Being able to safely and quietly move 5-6 figure sums of money globally is very valuable...
Every money transmitter in the world takes both BTC and LTC...
Litecoin will be valuable as long as Bitcoin is valuable.
Compare, say, the #13 coin BCN or #15 XMR... to Litecoin.
BCN trades only about $10,000/day (versus millions for LTC)...
The BCN wallet keeps losing connection... and you regularly get "unconfirmed" tx that cannot be cleared...
And this is after 3 years of development even basic shit does not work.
XMR trades only on Polo... and has no official wallet after > one year... YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP.
No one uses BCN or XMR. They are dodgy and WORTHLESS, but small cliques keep them pumped.
