Review on Litecoin by Danh Huỳnh Ngọc Công
The queen of cryptocurrency
Litecoin is really the silver of the internet as it is a valuable store of value and it is hard to commit a 51% attack on its blockchain. With a strong community of supporters and developers, Litecoin will get upgraded and be easy to become a real medium for everyday life transactions. Besides, it is a deflationary investment to savings. The future of this coin is still so bright. However, it should also be kept in mind that the founder of Litecoin don't hold his LTC anymore and the coin is mainly used for payment and storing
