Altcoins becoming more prominent

[fishy]

Do you think a scrypt based altcoin will ever become as prominent as bitcoin?
Most of them don't offer any advantages besides that they are scrypt based, so...
(litecoin, worldcoin, etc.)

IMO litecoins aren't useful for anything other than buying bitcoins and fiat cashout. As bitcoin difficulty is too much for GPU miners, alt coins will devaluate not because of extra people moving there but rather the rate of difficulty increase is lower than bitcoin's rate of difficulty increase.

It doesn't seem like scrypt really adds anything. Once the hashrate is high enough I am sure ASICS will get made for it. The only thing that makes litecoin appealing to me is faster transaction times.

It depends on what the community and large exchanges accept as "valid" currencies.

Could happen to LTC, but future is hard to tell.
