More About Litecoin

Things to Consider Before Investing in LTC

Launched in 2011, Litecoin was one of the first alternative currencies (altcoins) created. Litecoin basically took the infrastructure Bitcoin built and improved it by creating lightning fast transactions while simultaneously reducing transaction fees. As a result, this caught the attention of many investors worldwide. Like Bitcoin, Litecoin is decentralized – meaning it is not issued or managed by centralized authorities such as governments or banks. It is also limited in supply to 84 million Litecoins (vs. 21 million bitcoin). Scarcity plays a key role in protecting Litecoin’s value.

How Much Litecoin Can I Buy?

You don’t need to buy 1 entire Litecoin to get started! You can buy fractions of a Litecoin. In fact, the smallest possible unit of Litecoin is called a litoshi and is equivalent to 0.00000001 LTC (8 decimal places). Many beginners start their Litecoin journey by accumulating small amounts of litoshis. You can start as small as $10, or invest up to $10 million with Netcoins.

Why Should I Buy Litecoin?

Litecoin stands as one of the earliest iterations of an alternative coin (altcoin) with a coding structure very similar to that of Bitcoin. Its creator, Charlie Lee, is the reason the project exists. The goal of Litecoin was to ultimately make transactions cheaper and faster than bitcoin. At the time it was invented, Litecoin transactions could be confirmed up to four times faster than bitcoin transactions.

How Do I Store My Litecoin?

You can buy Litecoin from crypto trading platforms, like Netcoins, and leave your Litecoin inside the platform. However, there are much safer options to storing your Litecoin. The reason being that leaving them in exchanges can expose them to certain risks like hacking and theft. The safest option to keeping your Litecoin secure is to transfer them into a crypto wallet. A crypto wallet is a type of digital wallet that is used to send and receive Litecoin, similar to a Google wallet or a physical wallet.

Litecoin & The Future

There is always innovation taking place within the different cryptocurrencies and Litecoin is no different. Litecoin announced they’re looking to add privacy-enhancing features to the network. This would allow them to solve the issues that have been plaguing Bitcoin (mainly around a lack of privacy). Privacy-issues are partly the reason why privacy-focused coins, like Monero, have seen much success in the last few years. Overall, Litecoin continues to compete in the crypto world and transform itself into a more valuable cryptocurrency. This has encouraged investors to put their money into Litecoin. If you’re thinking about investing in Litecoin, make sure you know the many advantages and disadvantages of short and long-term investing.
