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. .

$100M will be invested into Litecoin next week. That's 1.3% of the market cap of LTC!. $100M is a very memorable number to me. I remember very clearly that when I first got into Bitcoin in 2011, the whole market cap of Bitcoin was $100M. 🤯.

This past week I did basically a Litecoin investor roadshow. I had 40 meetings in three days. Woke up at 4:30am for a 5am meeting because people on the East Coast love early 8am ET meetings. 😡 Then it was ~15 back to back 30 minutes meetings pitching to investors. Fun times. 😂.

Here's my Coinbase lore. I first contacted Coinbase initially not about a job but, of course, to ask if they would support Litecoin. Olaf @zxocw responded and said they are Bitcoin-only for now as they have limited resources, which made a lot of sense. A few weeks later, my.
