About Litecoin

Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies, launched in 2011 by Charlie Lee as a 'lighter' version of Bitcoin designed for faster and cheaper everyday payments. It uses similar technology to Bitcoin but with quicker block times and a different mining algorithm, and has a larger maximum supply of 84 million coins. Often described as 'silver to Bitcoin's gold', Litecoin is a well-established, widely accepted payment coin, though it lacks the smart-contract features of newer platforms. LTC is a high-risk, volatile cryptocurrency, available to South Africans on local exchanges such as Luno and VALR.
