I prefer litecoin to ripple because of the following advantages that Litecoin has over ripple;
Scrypt Algorithm: GPU’s are used to mine Litecoin efficiently and, as a result, ASIC miners are kept at bay to ensure there is sufficient Hash power to be distributed equitably among all the users.
SegWit and the Anti-Spam filter: Litecoin pioneered the component of using spam filters to maintain a blockchain size that can be kept limited, thanks to SegWit and ant-spam filters.
Fast transaction times: We already mentioned here that Litecoin has perhaps the quickest block timing, therefore, making it a preferred cryptocurrency among users.
Buzzing community: Litecoin has got one of the most progressive communities and core #DevelopmentTeam that provides ready answers for any burning questions. The high quality of interaction has made it a popular cryptocurrency among users.
