Litecoin (LTC) is one of the voluminous cryptocurrencies and was released in 2011, two years after Bitcoin. Whereas Bitcoin is often compared to gold, Litecoin is seen as silver in terms of investment properties.
The technology of Litecoin is strongly based on that of Bitcoin. Litecoin has gone through rapid growth starting early 2017.
Litecoin can be used to pay for products and services. Being one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies in the world, an increasing number of companies have started accepting Litecoin payments.
The mission of Litecoin’s founders is to create a cryptocurrency that can be used for small daily transactions, both online and offline.
Litecoin was invented by Charlie Lee, a San Francisco-based entrepreneur and former Google employee. Lee envisioned a coin that could be used on a day-to-day basis, whereas he saw Bitcoin as more of a saving vehicle.
Lee still works on Litecoin full time, although he sold his own LTC to avoid any suspicions of a conflict of interest and to create more transparency about his role in the development of Litecoin.
Being a highly visible figure in the cryptocurrency market, this has helped Litecoin gain popularity.
The technology that both Litecoin and Bitcoin rely on is near-identical, although some important differences exist. An important difference for users is the average time it takes for a transaction to be confirmed.
It takes about 10 minutes for an average Bitcoin transaction to get through. For Litecoin, however, this is a mere 2,5 minutes. In addition, Litecoin is mined using a different algorithm type than Bitcoin, which can be read about below.
Another difference is Litecoin having more coins on the market and a higher maximum amount of coins to be mined. The price per Litecoin is therefore lower than the price per Bitcoin. It also avoids having to trade with a fraction of the coin, which can be confusing.
As with all cryptocurrencies, it is hard to predict where Litecoin will stand in five years or even just two years. For some time, however, Litecoin has established itself as one of the more robust and popular cryptocurrencies available on the market.
It seems that Litecoin is here to stay.
Litecoin uses an algorithm called ‘Scrypt’ for mining. In contrast to Bitcoin, which uses the processor-intensive SHA-256, Scrypt is more memory-intensive for systems. This means it is relatively easier to mine Litecoin than Bitcoin with a regular computer system.
This has resulted in Litecoin becoming a fairly accessible cryptocurrency for beginning crypto enthusiasts, contributing to its popularity.
Yes, it is possible to make money with Litecoin. By the end of 2017, one LTC was worth about 80 times as much as it was during the start of 2017. However, as with all cryptocurrencies, Litecoin is volatile and constantly moving.
It is possible to make a large profit in little time, but it is also possible to lose a large portion of your investment. Be aware of the risks and always trade responsibly.
