Stay tuned to be informed about the next flash sale
The release of bitcoin as an open source software gave developers the opportunity to fork the original code base and add the features they wanted; thus creating a new cryptocurrency. Recognizing the market potential of a cryptocurrency to solve these problems, Charlie Lee came up with Litecoin. The first problem that Litecoin addressed was the transaction time. While the bitcoin network processes one block every 10 minutes, Litecoin does it every 2.5 minutes. This four-fold increase in block generation results in faster transactions. It also allows the network to handle higher transaction volumes during scaling.
Litecoin has a maximum supply of 84 million tokens or digital coins (four times more than Bitcoin). Of which, 54.26 million are currently in circulation.
While it may seem that the network will soon run out of new currencies, analysts predict that this will only happen around 2142. And that is considering the current rate of mining difficulty.

Why a flash sale on Litecoin?
Among the many alternative cryptocurrencies or altcoins that exist today (more than 1000) few have existed for so long and have been as good as Litecoin.
It was created by former Google employee and Coinbase Engineering Director Charlie Lee in 2011. And it emerges as one of the first utilities of Bitcoin Core, the open source system with which the first crocodomonedas were created.
The creators of this altcoin based on blockchain define it as "a bit by bit coin that allows instantaneous payments, almost zero cost to any person in the world".
Since Litecoin is based on Bitcoin's open source code, it shares several functions with the latter.
We at Bitbns believe people should have access to any genuine currency they would wish to trade. Hence we after initially launching with bitcoin are adding Litecoin and for more people to get the currency we are introducing a flash sale.

Bitcoin uses the SHA256 algorithm that consumes many resources. Litecoin instead makes use of the scrypt algorithm that consumes a lot of memory.
In its early stages, Bitcoin could be undermined by CPU and GPU.
However, as the competition in the network increased, the specially constructed FPGA and ASIC devices, with extensive processing capabilities, should be used to mine bitcoins. These devices are expensive and require a large amount of electricity to operate. Therefore, only a few could afford to have them quickly and monopolized the Bitcoin mining community.
To prevent the same thing from happening with Litecoin, Charlie Lee (founder)decided to adopt the scrypt algorithm instead. Scrypt was specifically designed to hinder the type of devices to extract Litecoin. It does so by requiring amounts of memory, higher than those used by bitcoin machines.
The prices fluctuate based on local demand and supply.
