The highest price (ATH) reached by Litecoin in EUR was €386, recorded on 9 May 2021.

Litecoin is a well-established cryptocurrency, which is why it consistently ranks within the Top 20 global cryptocurrencies. It is an excellent project for digital payments, due to its operational speed, proven security (as it is derived from Bitcoin), and low transaction costs.

The lowest price (ATL) recorded for Litecoin in EUR was €1.04, registered on 14 January 2015.

The price of Litecoin (and any cryptocurrency) can vary slightly between different exchanges due to differences in supply and demand, trading volume, fees, and other platform-specific factors.

The Litecoin network is protected by a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, similar to that of Bitcoin (in fact, remember that Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin). This means that miners compete to solve complex mathematical problems to add new blocks to the blockchain and verify transactions. This work (called mining) is what maintains the security of Litecoin and is known as the Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm.

You can mine Litecoin by joining a mining pool or setting up your own mining rig. However, mining Litecoin has become more competitive over time, and you may need specialized hardware (e.g., ASICs) and a considerable power supply to achieve significant profits in this activity.

Litecoin (LTC) is an open-source cryptocurrency created as a fork of Bitcoin. Its intention was to change certain parameters of the network and the mining system in order to make it a much faster and cheaper (in fees) option than Bitcoin.

Litecoin was created by Charlie Lee.

Although Litecoin is based on Bitcoin, it has some key differences:

Transaction speed: Litecoin processes transactions four times faster than Bitcoin, making it more suitable for everyday payments.

Hash algorithm: Litecoin uses a different hash algorithm called Scrypt, which is less demanding on mining hardware.

Total supply: Litecoin has a total supply of 84 million coins, four times that of Bitcoin.

At the time of this response, there are approximately 74.6 million LTC in circulation.

Both cryptocurrencies have their own advantages and disadvantages. Bitcoin is the largest and most established cryptocurrency, while Litecoin offers faster on-chain transactions and a more accessible mining algorithm.

It is impossible to predict with certainty when (or if) the price of Litecoin will rise. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and unpredictable, and is influenced by a wide range of factors.
