Are you trying to decide which types of cryptocurrency you would like to buy so you don’t miss out on any investment opportunities? Litecoin might be a good choice for you. LTC, or Litecoin has been around for almost as long as Bitcoin. It was developed by a former Google employee named Charlie Lee in 2011. He created it to be “the silver to Bitcoin’s gold.”
Like Bitcoin, Litecoin operates on a peer-to-peer network and utilizes blockchain technology. LTC is designed to be a decentralized and secure digital money for online transactions. Litecoin offers fast transaction confirmation times and low fees compared to traditional payment methods and even Bitcoin. Yet, there are a few distinctions between Litecoin and Bitcoin.
Litecoin has a faster block generation time compared to Bitcoin. Litecoin’s block time is approximately 2.5 minutes, while Bitcoin’s is around 10 minutes. This results in quicker transaction confirmations on the Litecoin network. Alongside, Litecoin has a higher maximum coin supply than Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has a maximum supply of 21 million coins, Litecoin has a maximum supply of 84 million coins. This higher supply intends to facilitate widespread distribution and adoption.
