If we're around for the day the 21M BTC limit is reached, then we will want to go with LTC. Like HIVE, LTC is criminally undervalued, and LTC even addresses a need BTC won't.

The main difference is PoW vs PoS though? Its less secure?
I was going to say "no"; then I discovered something called LTCP (Litecoin Proof of Stake). Rather than being a hard fork of Litecoin, it is based on the code base for Bitcoin. So LTCP is different from LTC, and LTC itself uses Scrypt rather than SHA-256 for its hashing algorithm. LTC remains PoW, while LTCP is PoS by definition.
Privacy is the need Litecoin addresses which Bitcoin hand't address or won't address.

Thanks, thats helpful to know.
But people have chosen Bitcoin over LTC and BCH for adoption?
By virtue of being first out of all, Bitcoin has (whether deserved or not) first-mover advantage. Bitcoin is what people know.
LTC is #20 and BCH is #32 in Market Cap on CoinGecko. At least on LeoFinance, I see LTC getting more respect than BCH.
LTC may be like a classic Volkwagen Beetle among leading cryptos; by virtue of its design as a "a classic Volkswagen Beettle," LTC great under certain conditions.
(I want to say the same about BCH, but I'm not familiar with it pro or con.)
