Litecoin turns 11 years old
Inspired by Bitcoin, Litecoin was among the earliest altcoins, created in October 2011. Technically speaking, Litecoin originates from a slightly modified Bitcoin codebase. Due to its underlying similarities to Bitcoin (the “digital gold”), Litecoin is often referred to as the “digital silver.”
Since its creation more than 10 years ago, Litecoin has indeed come a long way. This year, Litecoin added optional privacy features via a soft fork through the MWEB (MimbleWimble extension block) upgrade.
Litecoin is sound money more than ever. 11 years of flawless activity. The most fungible currency in existence.

As Litecoin turns 11, a tweet posted by the Litecoin Foundation reveals it has processed over 33 милиони трансакции without any downtime.
An earlier tweet indicated that Litecoin mining difficulty is also at new highs, nearing 19 million hashes. According to the Litecoin Foundation, mining difficulty remains an important metric for mining and might suggest how the Litecoin network controls new coin issuance.
