Litecoin is basically the same code with a few alterations that make it work somewhat differently. I'm trying to find a way to buy some right now, since the price will skyrocket I think. I just heard a rumor that Mt Gox might cover it. If that's true you could expect the price of Litecoin to go up by 10x very rapidly. Just saying.

Bitcoin as the new Gold.
Litecoin as the new Silver.


I'm sure many of you may think I'm crazy, but, we are in crazy world right now...
