ETH? Depends on gas.
Your time is valuable. Litecoin respects it.

Fees

Even during peak congestion.

Micropayments? Only viable on Litecoin.

Privacy (MWEB)

MWEB hides amounts + balances while preserving auditability.
No extra token. No bridges. Just native.

Uptime + Reliability
>13 years with 100% uptime.
No downtime. No bailouts. This is what digital cash should look like.

Use it anywhere
Thousands of merchants.
Accepted at ATMs, online, IRL.
Spend it. Save it. Move it cross-border.
Litecoin just works.

The loudest coins don’t always win.
The ones that deliver, quietly and consistently, do.
Litecoin is digital silver.
Still here. Still working.
Still better money.
