Mission
Litecoin’s creator, Charlie Lee, said the token was developed to be complementary to Bitcoin and not necessarily to compete with the original cryptocurrency. LTC was created with the intent that it would be utilized for the transaction of smaller ticket-items, prioritizing speed from reduced block generation time. Additionally, the lower price of LTC makes it more accessible to the market.
