I think that the cryptocurrency/blockchain space is the next big thing in the world on-par with the internet. But it still has a long way to go. In the late 90s you could say "X on the internet" and get tons of investment. Now it's the same but with "X on the blockchain". We are going through growing pains now, and there definitely needs to be some regulation introduced to curb the many scams. My personal hope though…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What's the main argument for ltc?

Development moves faster and with far less bureaucratic hurdles than with Bitcoin. No contentious forks (thus far), they had SegWit first and chances are they will have working, beyond proof-of-concept Lightning first.

All these articles make it sound like anyone can launch a successful ICO and make millions on the spot but it's not true at all. Doing a successful ICO is very difficult and requires deep connections within the industry... It's probably only marginally easier than raising funding from a VC.
