According to CoinGate data from several days ago, Litecoin is now the second most used cryptocurrency for payments, just behind Bitcoin
Litecoin’s official X account surprised the Dogecoin community with a Q*bert-inspired meme and a message of support stating: “I’m here for you, dogecoin.”
Dogecoin users and proponents saw it as an unexpected show of solidarity between two cryptocurrencies.
Interestingly, there are historical ties between the two, as Dogecoin was developed using Litecoin’s Scrypt-based code and relies on Litecoin’s merge-mining security.
Then last year in November, Litecoin made waves by whimsically declaring itself a ‘memecoin’, to which Dogecoin responded with meme-based encouragement and creativity. This exchange and the “announcement” triggered a temporary 15% LTC price jump.
