Litecoin (LTC) or popularly known as Bitcoin's silver was released on GitHub in October 2011 by Charlie Lee. It has given its name as Bitcoin's silver for a particular reason as Lee wants to go along with Bitcoin rather than against it. It has reached the market cap of $3 billion.

Litecoin is P2P decentralized digital cryptocurrency. In layman's term, it can be used for anything from buying your cup of coffee to online purchasing to paying the bill.
