As we are approaching the 10th anniversary of Litecoin, I figured it's a good time to do a long Twitter 🧵 on the history of Litecoin from my perspective. My memory of events can be hazy at times, so for those mentioned, feel free to add or correct anything I say. Here goes...

Great Scott — 15 years! 🔥 While others came and went, Litecoin just kept running. 15 years of flawless operation and continuous innovation. Smart contracts next. Happy birthday, @litecoin!

Happy 15th birthday, Litecoin. To mark the moment, we’ve opened a public wall of crypto stories, from every chain, each one stamped with the year it happened. If you’re already on the wall, share your card. If you’re not, there’s still a seat at the table: read a few stories, then add yours. Proof of Time is live at proofoftime.litestrategy.com.

15 years ago, Litecoin was an experiment. Today, it's a testament to decentralization, resilience, and the power of an open network.

HISTORY: @litecoin turns 15 today, @SatoshiLite mined the genesis block at 07:31 UTC on October 7, 2011 with the public network launching six days later after a community poll and a well-timed rickroll.

Thing I enjoy about AI is bringing back classic shows from the past, who remembers the awesome and hilarious @magicalcrypto? @Excellion @SatoshiLite @WhalePanda @fluffypony

📢 Two icons. Joining together for one FUTURE! The Litecoin Foundation is announcing a groundbreaking partnership with @DeLoreanlabs!

Great Scott!

📢 Litecoin Core v0.21.5.8 is now available. All users are advised to upgrade. This release contains important security updates. Update from litecoin.org only.

According to an article published by @Tangem back in April of this year, there were already well over 120,000,000 tokens and coins in the crypto space. > 85 million of those reside on Solana > 35 million of those reside on Ethereum & similar chains Only 9-17k of those 120 million are actively traded, which is already a miniscule 0.0142% of the total supply. Of those actively traded, the top 25 by MCAP make up only 0.147% of that. Of those 25, only Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Monero are fairly launched through a genesis block, no pre-mine, no contentious hard fork free coins, fully decentralized Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. This means these four cryptos, built upon the ethos and original definition of what a cryptocurrency is, make up only 0.00000333% of the total 'crypto' market. That, my friends, shows you just how special Litecoin is. Not just as a crypto with the second strongest use case by transactions only to Bitcoin, but as digital silver.

As a non-profit organization, the Litecoin Foundation relies on the generosity of the community. Consider making a donation to help further the development and advancement of Litecoin. Donate today and double your impact! As Charlie Lee will match your gift!! litecoin.com/donate
