Michael Saylor's take on Bitcoin—that buying BTC is like acquiring prime New York real estate before the skyscrapers went up—makes sense as a wealth accumulation thesis. By that same logic, Litecoin could be positioned as grabbing Chicago land plots back in the day, before the boom hit.
Sure, LTC hasn't delivered the explosive returns we've seen from Bitcoin in recent years. But let's not sleep on the fundamentals here—it does what it's built to do, and it does it well. The network runs solid, transactions settle fast, and the infrastructure is battle-tested. Sometimes the sleeper picks are exactly that for a reason.

This analogy with LTC is indeed vivid, but to be honest, the gap between Bitcoin's New York property and Litecoin's Chicago property... is a bit too wide.

LTC is indeed undervalued, with fast transaction speeds and low costs, making it a much more practical payment tool than BTC.

LTC, this old-timer, to be honest, is really underrated... It's always used as an alternative option, but when it comes to network stability, neither exaggerated nor criticized, it truly can't compete.

LTC is that kind of honest coin that everyone looks down on but ends up lasting the longest... To be honest, compared to chasing new coins, I still believe in fundamentals; stable operation is what counts.

LTC has been around all these years, which shows it has some value. However, comparing it to Chicago real estate... is a bit of a stretch.

Litecoin is one of those forgotten good things—stable performance but really lacking in a compelling story, no wonder it was overlooked.

LTC, this old-timer, is at least a fossil-level stable coin, but comparing it to New York real estate? That's an overstatement. Bitcoin is New York, Litecoin is probably second or third-tier cities at best...
