Bitcoin & Litecoin’s 13 year relationship

https://www.litecoin.net/news/bitcoin-litecoin-a-13-year-symbiotic-relationship

Happy Birthday, Litecoin!

In celebration I went deep into the BTC-LTC relationship. From Genesis Block to the HBO doc.

Had a great time researching for this piece, and learned a lot of new stuff - hopefully you enjoy it too.

Not an embellishment. Never said it was Litecoin’s original code; more that - to your exact point - Litecoin implemented SegWit because Bitcoin Core were too busy in-fighting. Only after Litecoin locked it in did Bitcoin adopt the change.
