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
