Review on Litecoin by Chris McDavid
Litecoin
Litecoin is the first altcoin. It is a Bitcoin fork created in 2011. The coin was supposed to be more accessible for the users than Bitcoin: quicker transactions, easier mining, blocks get found x4 times quicker. Litecoin has a huge presence on the market, the price is highly volatile (e.g. the price reached $92 in April 2019 while it was only around $24 in December 2018).
