Litecoin is one of the oldest and best-known cryptocurrencies, created in October 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer who later worked at Coinbase. It was built by taking Bitcoin’s open-source code and adjusting a few key settings, with the aim of making a coin that was quicker and lighter for everyday payments. Lee famously described it as the “silver to Bitcoin’s gold,” positioning it as a complementary, more spendable counterpart rather than a rival trying to replace Bitcoin. This guide explains what Litecoin is, how it differs from Bitcoin, and what to keep in mind about it.
