#1504 Litecoin’s Founder: How He Created The Hit Cryptocurrency




Startup Stories - Mixergy show

Summary: One of my listeners emailed me and said, “Andrew, you’re completely ignoring cryptocurrency.” I said, “Yeah, I guess I am. I don’t fully understand it and I also don’t want to be part of the hype cycle.” And he said, “No, Andrew, it’s more than hype.” Well, today I have the creator of Litecoin, Charlie Lee. Litecoin is one of those cryptocurrencies that because of the way it started became a major currency. Charlie left his previous job to focus on the Litecoin Foundation that he created. I invited him here to talk about Litecoin, how he created it, why he created it, and also cryptocurrencies in general. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/litecoin-with-charlie-lee/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/litecoin-with-charlie-lee/?get-twitter-card=true&amp;" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Charlie Lee is the creator of Litecoin, a cryptocurrency that enables instant payments to anyone in the world and that can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware.</p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p><a href="http://www.activecampaign.com/mixergy" rel="nofollow">ActiveCampaign</a> – Improve your marketing &amp; sales processes by upgrading to an automated platform.
