I believe BTC won't change. It will be the Gold of Crypto, that means slow but stable. My guess is that LTC will get a share of BTC's market cap as they are implementing SegWit first, will give a tremendous advantage. See my other articles for further explanation and analysis
First mover advantage is powerful indeed. I suppose we shall see >.<
