Improve Introduction Paragraphs

[wtogami]

litecoin.org's introductory paragraphs are stale and will eventually become untrue. They need updating to reflect the current situation and also mention positives about Litecoin that are not currently mentioned.

• Litecoin's approach to discourage non-economically small transactions is one of the key improvements that makes is it different from Bitcoin.
• Litecoin has a track record of testing concepts quickly and helping to improve the upstream Bitcoin software.

What are the other benefits?

[Vanhouttethomas]

Litecoin being 'Lite', the size of the blockchain is smaller (partially thanks to your first point, as well as Litecoin being not as old as Bitcoin).

Faster transaction confirmations; maybe mention this is an advantage for inter alia e-commerce.

"Litecoin has a track record of testing concepts quickly and helping to improve the upstream Bitcoin software." I wouldn't be shy here and even mention that Litecoin is driving innovation for both Litecoin and Bitcoin, which allows both coins to evolve/grow.
