Litecoin, because Bitcoin will not get segwit anytime soon, so as fees go higher in Bitcoin, people will look for alternatives to make payments, and Litecoin is the ideal alternative because it will have segwit and lighting networks backed by the Bitcoin Core's solid code.

Litecoin has always been there with bitcoin, it was overshadowed by bitcoin but it is a great coin on its own. I wouldn't be surprised to see litecoin take over bitcoin's throne, but that probably won't happen. But with segwit coming to litecoin it certainly gain some popularity.

Litecoin Segwit implementation and faster transaction confirmation will give litecoin a pump because these are most important thing people wanted to see in bitcoin that bitcoin failed to deliver,We know sometime bitcoin transaction confirmation takes very long time while litecoin transaction confirmation are much faster then bitcoin at lower fees.

The alternative coins that are very popular aside from bitcoin are ripple, ethereum, litecoin, doge, DASH and many more. The reason why I mentioned this four since Ripple, Ethereum and DASH was next to bitcoin on the coin market cap while doge and litecoin was the two most old coins that existed and has already been famous to the cryptocurrency world.

Litecoin will not take Bitcoin's throne as a store of value. Bitcoin will still be the top ranked currency, but Litecoin will gain more value due more transactions happening there than on the Bitcoin blockchain, because at some point it will just not make any sense having to wait 2 hours for a transaction in order for the safe confirmations to happen, and the fees will also make it not worth it other than holding coins and sending important amounts. Small payments will all happen in Litecoin. This is a fact as long as Bitcoin cannot get segwit and lightning network to massive scaling.

Although they have become popular, however, they still can not compete with bitcoin. because they have not been considered methods altcoins vs exchanged between each other, in fact, has always been headed Bitcoin because it was chosen as the common currency and exchange intermediary between altcoins.

Although altcoins are becoming more popular in the market, they are all by default bitcoin trading, in other words, it is traded based on the bitcoin value, since it shows the role The importance of bitcoin. That is why bitcoin is still strong in the market.

Litecoin is doing great. SEGWIT is being implemented really fast which is amazing for the future speed of litecoin transactions.
But still bitcoins is the main reason all those other coins exist. Hope bitcoin gets segwit ASAP as well.

And always will be something new, Altcoin which can follow progress will survive and maybe can attack leading position one day. This game is reserved for good and strong teams with planty of money invested in PR and marketing research. Maybe it is not just one coin.

Are you serious with this one? Generally speaking the only cryptocurrency I know that is accepted in the market and online is Bitcoin. I have never seen any store even online (except for gambling sites) that accept Litecoin. With that being said Litecoin in terms of price is good as a cryptocurrency but clearly it does not even come near on the success of Bitcoin is having. If people starts to accept Litecoin as a mode of payment then maybe I would consider changing my views on Litecoin.

Litecoin
You might be right because of the updates that is going on for it. I think that Litecoin will be number 4 against Ripple and Monero.

Small payments will all happen in Litecoin. This is a fact as long as Bitcoin cannot get segwit and lightning network to massive scaling. Why to use LTC payments if there are many cheap and faster payment methods? Almost instant, anonymous etc. I still can't understand the hype around segwit. It doesn't brings anything that other alts can't offer without it. We have cheap and fast TXs method. You can also find instant and no fees transfer method. You guys are missing the point. BTC has first movers advantage but technology is not static. BTC is far from the leaders. It is just FIRST crypto. Of course you can say that business accept BTC payments. You can pay electricity bills with Bitcoins but will you if TX fee is higher than your invoice? Business just don't understand the technological side. They are in a trap of BTC hype. But after they will understand it, they will definitely remove it out. However, as TX fees are not their problem and they accept only fiat (BTC converted to fiat in real time price), they can continue to accept "BTC" though, actually, they are accepting only fiat.

If you want something similar to bitcoin, but not really better, LTC would be the way forward. I think it missed out by not being the first mover though, so will never be widely accepted.
If Bitcoin fails, I expect that a new alt would take over, maybe something like ETH. I still think that it is Bitcoin or bust for Crypto in the near future though.

1. who can compete with VISA in terms of TXs per sec; 2. almost instant and very cheap TXs; 3. communicaton with private blockchains (bridge interledger or whatever method); 4. Efficient, safe and fast but not large electricity consuming and nature unfriendly network; 5. community consensus and governance. Consider these factors and you have a winner. There are many candidates (functioning and to be created). We are in early days despite development is fast as lightning. Only time will tell.

I agree, litecoin is best placed and has almost as much recognition as bitcoin, it is the sleeping giant and could really take off especially if it adds those things that bitcoin won't and they are successful.
