Litecoin is really the future. It is almost the exact same as Bitcoin (different hashing algorithm, more in supply, faster transactions) but the most important thing is it has crystal clear guidance on SegWit/POS/POW and how it is developed. It has probably one of the most influential people in all of crypto behind it (Charlie Lee) AND it is a fair coin, it was not premined. It has actually been used as a "testbed" for some of the SegWit Bitcoin testing if that gives you any indication of its stability.

The only thing lacking is that it is not the Coca-Cola or Google or McDonalds.

Bitcoin has the brand position in peoples heads. For most, cryptocurrency and Bitcoin are the same thing. You "google" it, you don't "search the web".

Agreed, cryptocurrency= Bitcoin in the public's mind. Perhaps that will change in the future
