you are correct tolkatore, that would solve it, just one problem - a lot of the exchanges have the BTC/alt pair but not the LTC/alt pair, saw this complaint today from another trader I follow;
@rwilday
When are alt exchanges going to carry #Litecoin or #ripplecoin pairs. Who slings BTC from wallet to wallet at this speed/fees? @BittrexExchange @binance_2017
Maybe it is just slow adoption or maybe there is some conspiracy theory behind it, but once that catches on I agree it would be better for everyone and LTC could get back in the game
