2018 is going to be the year of Litecoin (been saying this for months now). MAST, LN, Atomic Swaps, Confidential Transactions... Plus a huge amount of exciting announcements incoming, starting with LitePay which is launching in Feb (among many others). The keyword for 2018 is going to be "real-world use-cases" and with this in mind, LTC is going to be leading the way in this regard!
Sidenote: Don't be surprised to see 5k-10k LTC by end of 2018.
