Litecoin seems to be more suitable for normal consumption.
Because Bitcoin price is too dam high.
Ok, so you buy some litecoins. Then what do you do with them? How suitable are they really? There is a reason why alt coins are cheaper than bitcoins. You get what you pay for.
You don't have to buy whole bitcoins.
Alt coins will always be playing catch up to bitcoins there is really no reason to leave bitcoin for something lower light litecoin you just wont make much money.
