[What is Litecoin?]

Litecoin can be defined as a peer-to-peer internet currency or cryptocurrency that enables instant and very minimal cost payment to anyone in the world. Litecoin is an open source and fully decentralized cryptocurrency which came into limelight after it's price surged by more than 1000 percent within an year.Many people think that Litecoin was made to compete with Bitcoin but in fact the story is quite different.It was made with a view to complement the mother of cryptocurrency 'Bitcoin'.

  

Above screenshot from CoinMarketCap gives a clear picture of current position of Litecoin in the cryptocurrency world.

Above graph is scary isn't it?See the kind of ups and downs Litecoin has achieved.Litecoin was constant from June '13 till March '17 and suddenly the surge made all the difference.I term this cryptocurrency as a sleeping tiger.Trust me guys this cryptocurrency has lots of potential to disrupt the market.

[Who created Litecoin?]

Before we talk about this guy Let me ask you a simple question.Guess? Ok...Guys tell me  How would you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being best for cryptocurrency knowledge?I will wait for your answer in comment section :)

The guy in the picture is creator,Litecoin.His name is Charlie Lee .He is an ex-google employee.He loves not only blogging but tweeting as well.I hope you too will love his popular tweets.

Litecoin is popularly described as silver to Bitcoin's gold and is considered one of the most stable cryptocurrency.

Charlie Lee decision to sell off his holding in Litecoin and donate a portion of it to charity was take as positive by some and vice versa.A group says that now the Litecoin can grow without Charlee interference where as other group take it as detrimental decision.

Unlike founders of tech giant ,Charlie Lee was lambasted for endorsing his own product and it says a lot about cryptocurrency world where things are not taken for granted.If you are gonna ask me about my view on Charlie Lee decision then I can assure you that he had done a great job indeed.He made Litecoin truly decentralized as after selling his holdings no one other than the people,who are the buyers of this currency,have control on this currency.

• Bitcoin is world's first and mother of  cryptocurrency whereas Litecoin started it's journey as silver to Bitcoin's gold in October 2011.
• Bitcoin takes 10 minutes for creation as compared to LiteCoin which takes only 2.5 minutes.
• LiteCoin transaction limit is 84 million and Bitcoin transaction limit is 21 million.The difference in the transaction limit clearly shows that the availability of Bitcoin in market will always will be less than LiteCoin.
• LiteCoin is more secured as compared to Bitcoin because of it's faster processing speed which makes LiteCoin less vulnerable to double-spending attack.
• As compared to Bitcoin,Litecoin is harder to mine because it uses script hashing whereas Bitcoin uses SHA-256.In SHA-256 mining can be accelerated by using parallel processor but that is not the case with LiteCoin.
