ABOUT LITECOIN
Litecoin (LTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency designed to deliver fast, secure, and low-cost digital payments by leveraging the unique properties of blockchain technology.
Created in 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer, Litecoin was conceived as a “lite version of Bitcoin”.
It was among the first altcoins—a term used for cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin—and has since established itself as one of the most widely recognized digital assets in the world.
Often referred to as the “silver to Bitcoin’s gold,” Litecoin was built to address Bitcoin’s limitations, particularly in transaction processing speed and cost-efficiency.
Its broad acceptance among merchants, payment processors, and organizations has contributed significantly to its growing global adoption and practical utility as a medium of exchange.
