I totally agree on it being the silver to Bitcoin's gold. I love Dash. It has quick transaction time and low costs. I don't follow Monero but I also love PIVX because it's a clone of Dash but just implemented zerocoin protocol so the transactions are totally private. We have to think about what we can buy coffee with in the future...it's probably Dash or PIVX I just believe that Litecoin and Bitcoin will be great for storing large amounts of money (like silver and gold)
