Crypto 101 - LiteCoin Overview & Resources: Basics You Need to Know. | New Crypto Family Arriving Daily! Total Coins, Next Block Halving, etc. & Some Other PRACTICAL $LTC Resources/Facts etc.


Ahhhhh. LiteCoin! I've always loved it!


About 6 mths ago... I was wondering which site would show me all that info, and likely even more things.

So I searched for it using "Next LiteCoin Halving" since I was wondering when it was, how this might affect value etc. and some other things.

And this is the site right here, which has a cool built in countdown timer/ticker counting down the days til the next halving which is set for Aug. 15th 2019 -- which I can remember easily because that is my birthday week!


Please send me LiteCoin LOL




Here is the site for those Halving Info Screenshots w. All the Useful Info:

Reward-Drop ETA date: 15 Aug 2019 16:39:16

Litecoin's block mining reward halves every 840,000 blocks, the coin reward will decrease from 25 to 12.5 coins.

You can watch an educational video by the Litecoin Association explaining it in more detail below towards the end of this post.



LiteCoin has made HUGE gains again lately, for various reasons.

-- The policy/politics of Bitcoin and their struggles to address the scaling issues, the potential resulting (now, NEXT) fork from these issues, 3-5 types (forks) of $BTC on the market and more potentially coming, it is kind of a mess. But improving.

LiteCoin has none of these problems, and in fact, their miners DID adopt SegWit activation about 5 mths. ago now.

LiteCoin shares the Bitcoin codebase, if you did not know. They have implemented the Lightning Network as well a few weeks ago.


Learn more on that here in my LiteCoin SegWit Series I ran months ago on that issue with lots of good info:

LTC is still sitting stable as a great store of value at #5 overall on CoinMarketCap.com out of ~850 Crypto Currencies:

The last 3 days on Bittrex: With a High today of $67.75, and it was higher / hit it's highest around 8:30 am yesterday!

1 week LiteCoin chart showing the gains:

-- 5.5 mths ago, (~22 weeks, March 2017) $LTC was around $5 USD.

It had been there a long time. Not long after, it started to rise and stayed about the $8 range.

Then just after that.... it had mooned and hit (then) recent all time highs in the $11 USD range.

The factors vary but a lot of it has to do with the Bitcoin scaling and political issues in the community most people feel.


Here to show perspective, that is the last 1 YEAR (8/30/2016 - 8/30/2017)

--

Right at the end of March, look at it take off, as I mentioned earlier.


We all know this past couple days, good old LiteCoin hit YUGE new ATH's over the $60 USD mark!! (The week of 8/26/2017)

This short 4 min. video will give you a great overview of LiteCoin basics/halving - it is a couple years old now, but the basics/fundamentals do not change. Plus it will help you understand coin halving processes for Crypto in general.

I never learned much about lite coin so this was nice to read. I had no idea it solved a lot of the issues btc is still struggling with long ago. Those are some massive gains on it.

Sad thing is I could bought it for like 1-2$ each back in the day. Oh why oh why dint I put my spare bitcoin into that when I took a break from this world. Looking at the charts its had a very hard life nice to see it’s on the up and up.

I really do try and give out quality resources here focused on newer crypto people.

spare Bitcoin....... Not many people feel they have it to spare LOL..... it has gone up and done well for you too, but LTC is a great coin.

LTC has another ATH day. My updates since I got back in the house and online late today -- are on point!

Super spammy --- your whole comments tab is full of this kind of stuff, try engaging with meaningful comments with people.

Thanks for all the precious Litecoin info @barrydutton! Lots of points you mention I didn't know about. Now I want to learn about the Lightning Network. This is not the first time I hear about it but I have no idea what it actually is.

The video is great too. Such, that I've decided to AMPed it.
