Litecoin was developed by Charlie Lee an ex Coinbase,and former Google employee. He resigned in order to concentrate on Litecoin. Lee wanted to make a currency that could complement Bitcoin and play the role of "digital silver" as Bitcoin's gold-like digital value store. Lee serves as the voice and transparent frontman of the project and often finds ideas for a variety of topics that impact the general decryption community.
Lee is a member of the Litecoin Foundation, a nonprofit organization registered in Singapore, and is committed to leveraging the cutting edge of the block chain technology to develop Litocoin for the benefit of society.
