📜 History
Litecoin was created in October 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer. It was forked from the Bitcoin Core code with key changes: blocks come about every 2.5 minutes instead of 10, the supply cap is 84 million instead of 21 million, and mining uses the Scrypt algorithm. It became one of the first major altcoins and a testing ground for Bitcoin-style upgrades. Segregated Witness was activated on its network in 2017. Its block reward has halved on schedule, in 2015, 2019 and 2023. Like other crypto assets, it fell sharply in the 2013-2015 and 2018 downturns and again in the 2022 crypto bear market.
