Crypto can be divided into three types: crypto currency, crypto commodities, and crypto tokens. LTC belongs to the first group, cryptocurrency, along with Bitcoin and other digital currencies like Dogecoin.

Lets make a comparison in cryptocurrency group BTC and LTC, it's important to note that they use the same underlying blockchain and verification method since Litecoin was forked from Bitcoin. However, the encryption algorithms differ. But the main difference lies in their communities. Bitcoin has a large, powerful, and fully decentralized network of miners, contributors and holders. While technology is a factor, it's not the main point of comparison.

In the technology market, the winner takes all in its sector. BTC and LTC are both in the cryptocurrency sector and share similar technology, but the shadow of BTC is too large for LTC to emerge as a major player. Bitcoin has maintained its value and dominance for over a decade, and no other cryptocurrency has been able to match its value. Therefore, in the cryptocurrency sector, there is no better investment than the one and only king - Bitcoin.

Litecoin is created from a fork in the Bitcoin blockchain in 2011. It was formed by a former Google engineer named Charlie Lee.

The main purpuse of Litecoin is being a medium for daily transactions. Nowadays there are many options to choose, but back in 2011 Bitcoin became too centrally controller and Litecoin wanted to discourage enterprise-sized miners from gaining control of the mining process by using a different encryption method. Similar to Bitcoin, you can mine Litecoin. Finishing blocks goes 4 times faster with Litecoin. There is not much use of Litecoin except the transaction part mentioned before, but if you mine, it's a lot easier/quicker and still profitable in 2023. Most software programs for mining also tell you if it is profitable for you. Having an powerful, yet efficient graphics card, is the best way to mine. An ASIC miner can be put to work if your computer is not powerful enough. You can do it alone or in a pool, but I advise you to read up a mining blog if you want to know more about it.

Conclusion
With the halving coming in August this year (2023) and signs of profitable mining, Litecoin still serves a purpose, but there are many other projects offering much more in technology. I am positive about Litecoin in general, because I see Litecoin as one of the early ones that will always have a big group backing them up, like Bitcoin is the gold of crypto. But I must be honest, Litecoin has no purpose.
