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...

🚨**BREAKING**🚨

The Sahara in Las Vegas is the first casino on the strip to accept cryptocurrencies in house to enable gambling through the purchase of chips and tickets.

It only accepts 3. Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum.

The narratives on socials say one thing, but the real world not swayed says another.

Litecoin wins again.

A special shout out to @burrapaycrypto for enabling this groundbreaking news, and of course to the Sahara in Vegas. You can learn more about this announcement in the reply below. 👇

Litecoin "Money that Works"

Stop by Hall 7 @AIBC_World this week.

Thanks for supporting the @LTCFoundation!

[Luxxfolio Holdings @LuxxfolioH]

We loved Bitcoin.

Then we met Charlie Lee at the Litecoin Summit in Nashville in July 2024.

March 2025 we started Luxxfolio — the first public company built around Litecoin. February 2026 we started mining. Now we’ve launched LuxxPool.

5% of our pool fees go to the Litecoin Foundation.

Here’s what happened next:

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!

[Lite Strategy @LiteStrategy]

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.

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

🎂 Happy Birthday to Litecoin! 🎂

"15 Years of Litecoin & 15 Milestones" 🧵

Since Litecoin launched on 13 October 2011, Coinmarketcap has estimated more than 60 million cryptocurrencies have appeared. Among former ‘Top 100’ projects, Cryptorank’s research shows only 71.9% still exist, and even fewer remain active. Well, Litecoin hasn’t left the leaderboard since launch. Ever. While market cap is one way to measure Litecoin’s success, there’s so much more to the project’s 15 years of existence. And this piece is celebrating 15 milestones that’ve had a profound impact on the space, the project, and Litecoin’s users.

Happy 15 Years, Litecoin. Here’s to many more! Enjoy the 🧵 👇

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.

📢 Litecoin Core v0.21.5.8 is now available.
All users are advised to upgrade. This release contains important security updates. Update from https://t.co/SM8JyHwc01 only.

[Litecoin @litecoin]

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.

[Lite Strategy @LiteStrategy]

NEW: Lite Strategy has repurchased 13% of $LITS shares outstanding since the start of its Share Repurchase Program in December 2025.

Highlights through July 17, 2026:

→ Shares repurchased: 4.9M at a $1.11 weighted-average price
→ Capital deployed: $5.4M, funded entirely through active treasury operations
→ NAV discount: narrowed from the low 40% range to below 25%
→ Holdings: 819,070 LTC against 31,882,648 shares, and no debt

When $LITS trades below NAV, retiring shares converts that discount into more Litecoin behind every remaining share, with no leverage and no dilution.

Payments. Privacy. Hard money.
