Overheard on Twitter

Over on Twitter, here were the top tweets about Litecoin:

  • From JohnkimLTC:

    Everything i do and support in the #crypto space is to make #litecoin more relevant and useful. I already see things playing out in my mind. Flexa will make litecoin spendable at every major retail and on line stores. Few.

  • From MikeMcDonald89:

    Tell us what Jupiter’s 4th moon is doing and its ramifications for litecoin and we’ll entertain it indefinitely. But if your EVER shill a chain that we aren’t invested in then you’re dead to us.

  • From hackerb0t:

    Litecoin’s mining keeps transaction fees relatively low due to the inherently higher total supply. There can only be 21 million Bitcoins in existence, whereas there can be up to 84 million Litecoins. This matters because it makes mining less competitive.
