As long as it remains one of the main payment options at Bitpay, I wouldn’t call it irrelevant. Transaction volumes also look like they are increasing, if you ignore the spikes over a longer timeframe.
It may also benefit from the security gained from shared mining with Doge. Doge must be raking in some serious mining revenues with over 5 million dollars daily.
Back in the mid 2010s, Litecoin was considered the silver compared to Bitcoin’s gold.
The issue is, the crypto market is flooded with coins, including many that are not useful. Litecoin has fallen behind and hasn’t really been significant for a while now.
That said, I do think we will see some price movement. I expect a rally in the coming months, but it won’t be more than many other available coins.
I have 4.5 Litecoin that I mined 10 years ago, hoping it would reach thousands someday, but that doesn’t seem likely now lol.
