Litecoin: An undervalued potentially sleeping giant.

LITECOIN is one of the most successful cryptos, having been established in 2011 and hovering in the top 5 in market cap.

It was created without a pre-mine, without an ICO, or without any intentions to enrich its creator.

Litecoin was created by a former Google, Coinbase lead engineer / M.I.T grad to see how far an altcoin with a fair launch and proper development can go. It’s basically Charlie lee’s passion project to bring the world sound, secure money, that’s also fast and as decentralized as possible.

It's worthy to note that Litecoin is SUPPORTIVE of Bitcoin rather than attacking it in the various ways some altcoins do today. It supports Bitcoin thru its faster network and by having the exact same codebase, and utilizing scrypt mining so its not competing with Bitcoin for miners and network security.

This all basically means BTC-LTC inter-operability. It will be possible for Bitcoin to tap into any unique use-cases Litecoin develops in the future due to their compatibility.

Litecoin also meets all of Andreas Antonopoulos criteria of decentralized blockchains to a greater extent than the majority of all the cryptocurrency market. It could very well be the most decentralized of the “fast transaction” coins.

Think about this — Since Litecoin is basically a faster Bitcoin which doesn’t compete with Bitcoin’s mining network, and is being primed to be THE MOST compatible and supportive altcoin to what could become digital gold on the Internet, with trillions in market cap — how far can Litecoin go?

If Bitcoin had an extremely secure, super-sidechain with its own ecosystem, how much would that be worth to Bitcoin?
