The position of light coins is much better than the current state of cryptocurrency. The price of unique coins has come down drastically but the price of light coins has come down comparatively less. So light coin investors are investing more which is why its future is much better. And like coins, there is a huge demand in cryptocurrency.
Litecoin is unique coin, I agree with your statement.
This coin is less negative issue, and I see many investors already like litecoin.
Current litecoin rank is number #18, It's going down because there are several more potential coin that overtake litecoin at the last several months.
That's normal at crypto, they will overtake each other and fight to the best position.
