$LTC Litecoin ($LTC) has always been seen as the 'silver' to Bitcoin's 'gold,' but does it still play a relevant role? Its speed and low fees make it useful for payments, but with so many alternatives like Lightning Network and stablecoins, its competitive advantage is questionable. Nevertheless, it remains one of the oldest and most reliable cryptos, with adoption in payments and a loyal community. Is it enough to sustain its value in the long term, or does it simply survive on nostalgia and speculation? Perhaps the real challenge for LTC is to prove that it is still necessary in the current crypto ecosystem.
