951 How He Created LiteCoin, the Silver to Bitcoin Gold

And then there's a market that forms to decide how much a Litecoin is worth.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
951 How He Created LiteCoin, the Silver to Bitcoin Gold

um so like i don't control any of that right so i can if it's if i think that like when it's undervalued i would buy some right if i think it's over value i might sell something just like any other trader or investor now you create the mathematical equation though that determines how much is available correct yeah it actually follows a schedule that is uh very pretty much identical to bitcoin because i didn't want to change what
