Litecoin as a cryptocurrency

The silver to Bitcoin’s gold, Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has won the trust of the community and has caught the interest of investors. By the way, did you know that the network celebrated its 7th birthday recently? We’re glad to enable LTC instant purchases to celebrate the start of Litecoin’s impressive history.

Here are some other facts about Litecoin that you might find interesting:
