Litecoin (LTC) is a digital currency created in 2011 due to changes to the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin’s creators worried that powerful entities were becoming too controlling, so they altered Litecoin to remedy this issue.<\/p>\n

As Bitcoin was becoming too controlled by a few giants, Litecoin made some changes to address this. Basically, they wanted to make it harder for big mining companies to dominate. While it wasn’t entirely successful, Litecoin has evolved into a cryptocurrency that can be mined and used for peer-to-peer payments.<\/p>\n

Litecoin<\/a> was initially created to prevent large mining companies from taking over the mining process. Despite this, these companies continued to expand their mining operations.<\/p>\n

In the same way as Bitcoin, Litecoin can be mined using specialized machines called ASIC miners. The Litecoin blockchain contains transaction information verified by mining software. A verified block is visible to miners participating in the network who receive Litecoin in return.<\/p>\n

Former Google engineer Charlie Lee created Litecoin 2011 as a global payment network without a central authority. Lee called Litecoin a “lite version of Bitcoin” and compared it to silver, while Bitcoin is considered gold in the cryptocurrency world.<\/p>\n

Rather than focusing on its functionality, many investors are interested in Litecoin as a potential long-term holding. They speculate that Litecoin will build relative wealth over time, like other investments.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
