Litecoin is a top five peer-to-peer crypto-currency with a significant market capitalization which evolved from Bitcoin in 2011. Its open source client was primarily developed by a former Google engineer. Similar to Bitcoin in many respects, Litecoin differs from Bitcoin in that transaction blocks are processed every two and half minutes compared to Bitcoin’s ten minutes. Unlike Bitcoin which has its maximum possible production of coins capped at 21 million, Litecoin’s total possible coins are capped at four times that amount, at eighty-four million.

Dash is also a peer-to-peer crypto-currency with features similar to Bitcoin. However, unlike Bitcoin, Dash has the capacity to process private and instant transactions. The currency has a decentralized governance and budgeting system making it a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
