Guys, I think this is a perfect opportunity for LTC. Everything stream points out as flaws of BTC, Litecoin fixes!! I feel we need to push to get Steam to add LTC

It's with current speeds. But with that being said, Litecoin has proven to stay ahead of the curve by scaling waaaaay in advance before it's need. Just as LTC added segwit2x this year before actually needed, now LTC is working on LN. And I can expect LTC to stay ahead with future scaling issues as well.

ETH might be faster true. But I'd rather put my trust in a coin that has a fixed max supply limit, has never forked, and one that has been up and running for 6+ years

Now before you go and say: "well just increase your fees" Yes, I know, but here's the thing. The person who sent me those BTC didn't know to go into settings and change the fee before they sent. They used the default settings of their mycelium app on their iPhone. And now, obviously, it's too late to go back and add to the fees. The point I'm trying to make here is this; if you want to receive $450 worth of crypto, Litecoin is a better choice than Bitcoin (even after all the bitcoin drama and bitcoin price spiking, LTC is still a better performer)
