This is a cool write up Heidi! Will resteem to further the knowledge.

My view on Bitcoin and Litecoin recently:

• Bitcoin performs like an index of the more innovative Altcoins. Investors look at it because of market cap and potential to adopt new features.

• Litecoin is the second instrument large investors look at and its structure make it a great currency to test implement new ideas on before they are adopted by Bitcoin.

• Altcoins is where a lot of the innovative value is really at, but it wouldn't necessarily be the same without BTC and LTC.
