This year?? Obviously possible, i just had 28 LTC few days back @140$ and today i saw they are now 220$+, Daamn.
I believe that when ETH can go 1000$ then LTC can surely go.
With a help from scam fork litecoin cash which not officially launched by charlie lee and another litecoin developer and litepay the price of litecoin surge to $220.
Charlie said that it's just the matter of time until lightning will be implemented on the litecoin which means it brings another hype again soon.
$500 looks possible but i'm not sure about $1k.
