Litecoin at this moment is the greatest criptocoin.
I still don't think that investors are giving up on bitcoin despite the congestion in network, many still wait to transact. The reason is because people see and believe that bitcoin would not be dragged down just without a fight to allow them to dump whatever fraction of bitcoin they have. Bitcoin at $17,400 isn't a joke. Etheruem equally gave a fight today, and cryptos are pushing in the money.
bitcoin has LOST its utility appeal. and only has its investment appeal left.
however litecoin with its lower fee's and ability to be used for household transactions has given it the perception of being better than bitcoin.
though many think 'bitcoin cash' bitcoin gold and other bitcoin offshoots dominate.. they all lack the main thing.. utility.
if things like bitpay and coinbases merchant shopping cart api's were to take on a new coin. that coin would surpass all others in the utility perception. and right now it looks like litecoin is getting close to that
