The biggest issue facing Bitcoin currently is the direction of development. This is increasingly taking Bitcoin from being purely money (as Satoshi intended) and instead making it into a playground / permanent file storage solution. In my opinion this direction is a disaster for Bitcoin. We have seen this in the terrible performance of the Bitcoin price in 2025 compared to gold.
Where does Litecoin stand on this? Will they also implement the OP_RETURN limit changes that Bitcoin Core introduced? I really really hope not. Not going down Bitcoin Core’s lunatic direction could be Litecoin’s chance to shine.
