About Litecoin

What is Litecoin?

Litecoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables people to send money directly to one another without the need for banks or delays. Like Bitcoin, it uses blockchain technology and a proof-of-work (PoW) system to secure its network.

What makes Litecoin stand out is that it was built for speed and efficiency. Often referred to as the “silver to bitcoin’s gold”, it offers many of the same benefits but with quicker transaction times and lower fees.

Originally launched by former Google engineer Charlie Lee, Litecoin has stood the test of time and remains one of the top cryptocurrencies used for everyday payments.

Litecoin vs. Bitcoin: What’s the difference?

Both are peer-to-peer digital payment providers. However, understanding their similarities and differences can be helpful.

Key differences to know include:

  • Speed: Compared to 10 minutes for Bitcoin, Litecoin verifies transactions in just 2.5 minutes, making it more convenient for everyday use.
  • Algorithm: Litecoin uses Scrypt, which is less demanding and easier to access. Bitcoin uses SHA-256, which requires more computing power.
  • Supply: Litecoin has a total supply of 84 million coins, which is four times greater than Bitcoin’s.
  • Fees: Transaction fees are cheaper with Litecoin, making it a desirable medium for smaller payments.
  • Adoption: Bitcoin is better recognized and utilised as a means of storing value, whereas Litecoin is preferred for quick, low-cost transfers.

While bitcoin is often viewed as digital gold, Litecoin acts more like digital cash, making it useful for fast, inexpensive transactions.
