Despite of the recent "fud", I still feel that LTC is a nice hedge against BTC since "Satoshi" very likely doesn't own any stupid amount of LTC + just in case Satoshi = someone like Paul Solotshi.
But also have to count on LTC not dumping along with BTC if that turns out to be the case. I do believe that in such an event, after an initial brutal dump, we may very well see LTC (and other similar "currency focused" decentralized blockchains) decouple from BTC.
