ABOUT LITECOIN
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that aims to provide fast and low-cost payments by leveraging the unique properties of blockchain technology.
Litecoin was created in 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google employee, who intended Litecoin to be a "lite version of Bitcoin." It was one of the first “altcoins”—a name given to cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin.
It is seen as the "silver to Bitcoin's gold," and designed to improve upon several of Bitcoin's perceived limitations, such as slow transaction processing speeds.
Its widespread acceptance among merchants and organisations further contributes to its usability and popularity.
