What is Litecoin ?
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency founded and built by Charlie Lee. He based the Litecoin protocol based on
Bitcoin but made some major programing changes in terms of the hashing algorithm, the the max amount of coins (4x)
and block producing time (1/4). This resulted in faster and less costly transactions.
Litecoin nevertheless always remained in the shadow of Bitcoin and is seens as crypto silver, although Litecoin is much more suitable to become a means of exchange and a mass adopted digital global currency.
Litecoin is going to implement mimblewimble protocol for privacy transactions in 2020.
